The entire board of directors after their political coup. From about 2009 onwards, they restructured to focus on growth growth GROWTH! That was when they started to ramp up Chinese-made products and wind down their own manufacturing, and when they started to sell bikes under their own brand name.
I read it as sarcastic - what the courts are quietly thinking.
Take off that flag you fuckers have draped yourselves in.
MEC is dead, and I will never set foot in one again.
A small number of board members biased the vote to get moreof their friends onto it. The now-majority proceeded to run the co-op like a for-profit business, expanding for growth’s sake, and ensuring that if (when) the co-op failed, they’d make out like bandits. They then voted to violate the charter of the company, declare themselves a for- profit corp, and sell to US investors.
Those fuckers didn’t even pay out the shares to us owners. They stole the co-op from us.
It’s possible that it wasn’t a scam to begin with.
But now? Now it’s impossible for even the most dewey-eyed dreamer to see it as anything less than a deliberate hustle, perpetrated by amoral grifters.
And they’ll continue hiring and expanding, pushing the ‘churn’ bullshit to keep thrir employees scared.
Asshole company deserves to die.
I support strict gun control laws, and also have my RPAL.
My question is what specific changes do they want, and what specific weakness does it address?
Are there deficiencies in our laws that could be improved, to reduce firearm injuries and deaths? Let’s have at 'em!
Are there specifc guns that are too easy to modify to full-auto? Don’t need 'em.
But if we’re going to start (continue) banning guns only because they look scary, then stop with the performative BS.
Step one: tax the rich.
Tax. The. Rich.
Tax them until we eliminate working poverty. Tax them until we can move away from destroying the environment. Tax them until we eliminate billionaires entirely.

So “improved recomendations” means none at all?
Huh. Sounds like Musk got it right for once.
That’d be nice, except that the fringe extremists ARE the party.
This is really to justify to the ‘moderate’ conservatives why she’s pandering to the extremists, and isn’t one herself. (Which is a lie.)
Swap Catholic for almost any Abrahamic religion here, and it would still hold true.
This is identical to what my relatives in the Dutch Reform church accept. It’s not Catholic dating culture.
They have to choose an interim leader who isn’t going to make Poilievre bad by comparison. Scheer is perfect for that role.
I find it interesting that Carra has to mansplain it to us.
“Tearing down historic buildings is unfortunate,” says the man who is deeply embedded in the Real Estate industry, has pushed harder than anyone for increased urban density, and was censured for sketchy ‘off-the-books’ realty deals.
No shit sherlock.
“Nazis protect Nazi interests, as declared by Supreme Nazi.”
If you’re writing about the Trump administration and not using the word ‘Nazi’ repeatedly, you’re doing it wrong.
Not a single cover by Roger Dean? WTF?
We’re working on it.
The US might. That’s not the entire world.
I don’t have any great love for Neufeld, but I’m curious about why he’s very suddenly leaving mid-contract. Did the city or province lean on him, or is it something else?
Denny’s is now “Denny’s Canada, PROUDLY CANADIAN OWNED AND OPERATED.”
Fuckers.
