Nationalize Telco, Groceries, Insurance, Utilities, Education. For local, by local.

If done correctly (big stretch here, and without the corruption that is already blatantly happening within our borders) it should drive prices hard enough to increase competition especially if someone wants to maintain a company. No more of this bullshit multi named single company operations.

UCP don't give a shit about Albertan's nor the province.

As of date they have fucked the following (super short list):

  • Health Care - Cuts on top of cuts, also forcing doctors out or to certain areas after the local one left.
  • Education - Cuts once again and is now trying to mess with federal funding for post secondary.
  • Utilities - Removed caps on utilities.
  • Park Land - Released Park Land for O&G to drill on.
  • Support Programs - AISH got drastic cuts, just one of many examples.
  • Carbon Tax - Had we maintained the lower rate we initially had then we wouldn't have been imposed the higher rate from Fed.

War Room - WTF has this pile of shit been able to accomplish besides chewing through cash.

The one thing that they have successfully achieved is bringing hatred and dividing the province's people.

I don't have to. You shared the video with nothing else. No call to action, no question(s), no concerns, nothing.

Why did you share this video? You thought this was a solid educational piece on FF didn't you? That's the only reason I can think of that fits requesting a counter. So no questions, no research, didn't even browse the comments, just choked this video down and decided to pass it along. Hell you're not the first person to run into and post this video, a quick search would show you multiple discussions on it.

Save yourself the time. Outdated video from 8 mo ago with a bunch of weak arguments. It's comparable to what one could expect from a middle school essay.

Wtf is this? They inflated their prices throughout COVID and are now "pulling them back"?

No my guy, the hero doesn't always win in the real world. This is where you get placed on PIP or start having performance issues, or get a promotion to a different team where there is a clash with your new manager.

Given any opportunity I will always be for a union but good damn if the cards aren't stacked against unions.

How would you figure out who the plant is?

Lol two greedy companies who don't have to actively do anything nor take accountability for any neglect on their part are of course happy to get more data and data points for nothing. Color me surprised.

What I don't understand is how people are completely complacent with this solution which is supposed to make housing more attainable.

As a country we are not new to dealing with loans, credit, nor credit history. The system has been around for a long time.

The problem is not people having too poor of a credit score or thin of a credit history to be able to obtain a mortgage from a bank. It's the basic fact that if you're Canadian you are going to be fucked financially in at least 3 different ways at any given time.

To simplify I know companies will never pay employees what they are actually worth. It's a nonsense game of carrot or crop. But if the cost of living wasn't so high it makes reaching for a dream easier.

Now back to this rent reporting program. Who is this program actually for? Its not for people with an established credit/loan history. For people that currently have bruised credit, adding rent payments to it isn't going to help in any way. Going to take 7 years for whatever that bruised the score to fall off regardless of whatever it was.

Time to name and shame that's some of the stupidest shit I've seen in a long time.

I know ATB so a Treasury not really a bank but they had an infuriating way of logging in as well.

After dealing with the big 4 I ended up using simplii for a while and they seem alright.

What do you mean banks are hostile towards password managers? I have yet to find a bank website or app that gives bitwarden any issue. Prior to LastPass becoming total shit I never had a problem with them either.

What? No name products are from what I understand excess product made by the branded companies for certain grocery chains.

So the problem here with loblaws isn't that the manufacturers have increased their prices by 54% it's loblaws who have brought the product in to sell and marked up the price.

For a quick shitty example. Let's say you're selling OJ and you want $1 per bottle. Loblaws says okay we'll sell it in our stores. Now loblaws has your OJ on the shelf but it's priced at $1.54.

Therefore if the store is already shameless and marking up products this much you can bet that these no name products would probably have equal to or potentially more profit in it.
