I have worked from home for 20 years and often work more hours because I do not commute Kory.
A bit funny watching 3 guys in their home offices talk about the need to get government workers back to the office. I think you all missed the government's lack of "why" for the decision. Is it productivity? Then why not 5x/week? If it's to help downtown Ottawa businesses and transit in the capital, then it is for the wrong reasons. Getting people back 3x/week makes the latter worse, and gives the former a slow death. Having 60% of your clientele on any given day is a losing proposition for most businesses that are geared to the 9-5 crowd in Ottawa's downtown. Ottawa north of Gloucester St needs residentialization to bring a 24/7 customer base to the core. Want proof? Downtown was dead after 6 pm before the pandemic. As for transit, 60% is also the worst of all worlds. Many people will just drive because hey, it's only a couple of days a week, and I'll pay for parking because who wants to take the bus anyway. For transit planners, now they'll still have to provide regular "A to B" suburb to downtown routes, but with fewer riders, instead of revamping the whole system to provide more non-traditional "C to D" routes. The feds should have just given a one-time grant to downtown Ottawa businesses who served the 9-5 crowd to move if they wanted to go to a more profitable area, and then get down to the business of putting up apartments and condos north of Gloucester St. People point to Sparks St as a reason not to pedestrianize more streets because it's dead. It's dead because no one lives there.
TL:DR?
@@kqh123 Downtown Ottawa needs residentialization, not gov workers 3x/week in order to grow.
RIP to Jim Peterson. Thank you for sharing his story and for another great episode. Oh, and Scott is my favourite panelist. Let him speak!
Shout out this week to professional orifice Kory Teneycke in the enviable position of defending the Communist Party of China picking Liberal MPs because we can't even imagine the idiots who would get elected if we had too much democracy.
Mr. Teneycke provides the perfect reminder of why political parties will always be partisan, a nice way of saying corrupt.
When we vote for a party, we vote for an MP or MPP/MLA to represent the party and not the riding. It is a vote for people like these three orifices to control the nominations, the committees and the cabinet of government.
There is another way.
The riding of Rochdale in Manchester United Kingdom voted 64% in favour of Independent candidates in the last election with the closest party grabbing barely double digits for third place.
Only independent candidates will put The People first.
Look no further than Teneycke's Ford government in Ontario where deficits are spiralling out of control, healthcare and education results are bordering on disastrous, and the backroom gang is happy to find another wedge to defend the status quo.
Oh, and I remember the 2022 PC campaign - clearly not included were vaccine/mask mandates, lockdowns or vaccine passes. Wonder why.
Fire Weather by Jon Vaillant is excellent. Understanding The Beast and what those firefighters faced.
Kory ranting about lazy people not working from home as he works from home....
His barely masked contempt for working people displays why conservatives can't be trusted to help workers
Just a reminder that the BC carbon tax is a provincially run program. It is tied to federal carbon tax in terms of price increases. Secondarily the rebate is income tested and about 40 percent, including myself, do not receive a rebate.
BC NDP need Jordan more then you guys, she was missed. Public service sector can work from home. As long as they are willing to take a 10% cut in pay. David, like Kathleen Winn's Liberals in Ontario. Federal Liberals have lost the mob, they are done. Solid show guys, thanks.
What is the title and author of the self published book on Canadian PMs? It sounds interesting.
The Mainstreet poll that Kory was referring to in BC splits responses in half between Kevin Falcon as leader of BC United and Kevin Falcon as the leader of the BC Liberals. As the latter no longer exists, it's an interesting hypothetical but not very accurate in terms of the reality on the ground (BC Liberals polled much better than BC United at the expense of the BC NDP). The recent Abacus poll is better in terms of number of participants, but it's close either way.
Also, Kory's wrong about the biggest issues. It's housing and healthcare, full stop. Decrim and carbon taxation are issues, and they strongly motivate a decent number of voters, but access to healthcare is the biggest issue for older voters, and the cost of housing is the biggest issue for younger voters.
Censorship..for the 3rd time; LOL Must've bin Bowin Ma..Premier Eby's Emergency Minister. Note
that Ms Ma attempted to communicate recently in public. A bit like S. Reid.
Parties should be able to use any idiot method they desire. The remedy for such idiocy is to vote against the party that made idiot candidate picks.
More like Kathleen Lose, amirite??
Kory must be feeling bitchy, taking shots at Speer and Coyne like that. Very little justification for his criticisms too.
No mention of Rex Murphys ‘s passing???? Shameful
You political operatives are not looking at politics in the abstract like Andrew Coyne does to seriously consider the available counterfactuals. Yes, the Leader is legally required to sign off on all candidates, *so change that law* (or change internal party rules so that the Leader has no choice on who they sign off on). The Leader is too distant from grassroots politics and far too pre-occupied with high-level issues to be the ideal dominant force in vetting of potential candidates.
Increase the membership cut-off time periods prior to nomination contests, and more loyal longtime partisans will inevitably be the contest winners. That means candidates who buy virtue of their longstanding party involvement have already been subject to de facto vetting by party insiders who have prior experience with the potential candidates in question.
So Justin Trudeau had nothing to do with his friends, Mark Miller Anna Gainey, Seamus O'Reagan and Marci Ien being elected? UH HUH.
@@sharonlott1986 Excuse my choice of words, I meant to say that the Leader is too distant from grassroots politics and far too pre-occupied with high-level issues to be the *ideal* dominant force in vetting of potential candidates. (Original post now slightly edited.) Of course, under the status-quo Leaders from all parties, Trudeau included, have meddled too much in nominations processes.
