  • The official stressed that police have to believe there are reasons to suspect that the information in question will assist in a criminal investigation, and said there is a mechanism in the bill allowing service providers to apply for judicial review if they are not comfortable handing over information.

    But there are also legal consequences for those who don’t comply, including thousands of dollars in fines and possible jail time.

    You know exactly what will happen 100% of the time, right?

    Time for us to start marching on Ottawa and shut this shit down … 'cause once it passes it’ll have to be challenged in the SCoC to stop it.



  • There are currently six trans people incarcerated in Quebec provincial prisons. Six. That’s 0.1 percent of the incarcerated population. There’s no data indicating how many of those people have or haven’t had bottom surgery, mind you. Regardless, it’s clear that we’re talking about a tiny fraction of people. This is a tactic from the anti-trans playbook that we’ve seen used over and over: taking an issue that affects a minuscule segment of the population, blowing it out of proportion and using it to roll back human rights protections.

    Trust a politician to do dumb shit like this. Someone is gonna get killed and Bonnardel will shed crocodile tears over it.







  • Over 25 years ago Canada realized we would be facing the same issue so the feds started a Canadian Pension fund to invest in stocks.

    Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPP Investments) was created in 1997 by an Act of Parliament to respond to projections that the employee contributions to pay retirements benefits was not sustainable.

    It was determined that a professional investment management organization would be able to grow the fund through investment income to help ensure the CPP remains sustainable for the long term. CPP Investments prudently invests the amounts transferred to us by the CPP, helping to provide a foundation on which Canadians can build financial security in retirement.

    After an initial transfer of $12 million from the CPP, we began investing in publicly traded stocks in 1999.
