  • This is so stupid! I made use of this a couple years ago to replace some windows and install solar panels. This resulted in more than a dozen people coming to my home over several months doing various bits of work. Presumably they were all getting paid.

    This wasn’t free money and I do have to pay it all back. I would not have done the project otherwise. It made sense to me that at 0% I do get a slight discount taking inflation into account, but it was a good chunk of money injected into the economy now that was paid to Canadians. And, a bunch of that is going to make it back to the government in the form of income tax.

    I don’t understand why they’d cancel the program other than the government caving to conservative morons who bitch about spending and don’t understand economics.








  • This is absolutely awful! A bunch of people harmed by police for being at an event near a protest. Guilty by association I guess.

    In case anyone missed it from the article “The march, organized by P!nk Bloc Montréal and several other 2SLGBTQ+ community groups, was intended as a protest in opposition to what organizers said was the corporatization of traditional pride and a loss of its roots. P!nk Bloc did not respond to CBC’s request for an interview.”

    Also: “Actually, we ended up being hurt by the police,” he said. “I don’t know how dangerous the march was, but [the protesters] were definitely not the ones that were attacking us.”
