16 year olds are old enough to work and pay taxes...   no taxation without representation.

My initial reaction was "but 16 year olds are dumb" but then I remembered that adults are dumb too.


Not bad...   I think if we’re being ripped off the CRTC should be protecting consumers....  (I’m assuming it’s the CRTC that governs that stuff....?)

I recall something about Innovation Minister Navdeep Bains giving the CRTC instruction to encourage more virtual network operators to enter the market last year.  Of course during the election several parties promised to tackle high cell phone costs; virtual network operators seems like the most likely way to do that.  I think most of the virtual network operators here are actually just divisions of the big 3 and just create the illusion of competition.  Big cities have some alternative providers, but here in the hinterlands we're kind of stuck with the big 3 and their sock-puppets.


In principle, this sounds wunderbar.  In practice, it probably means quotas and sounds like something out of the SJW playbook...    not enthused about this one.

I don't like the sound of it either.

Pay out of your own damn pocketbook if you choose to have kids and can’t, or don’t like them enough, to stay home with them.  Unless you’re poor.   Then I think taxpayers should fund it.

I think there ought to be means testing...

In all public buildings???   Hmmmm.....   maybe just schools/universities/hospitals/welfare offices?   I doubt the Ministry of Natural Resources offices needs a tampon dispenser.  But I don’t know for certain.

I can't see the harm.
