Not really "lefties" here, but this is a reasonable example... I will say that First Nations issues in Canada are pretty complicated, particularly when it comes to unceded territories and the rights around those. It's also wo

Lol what? Point stands regardless? What does that mean? - "Oh my point was proven wrong but I'm going to stick to it anyways? Because fact shmacts?" Your whole argument was that the convoy was shut down because it inconve

My friend, my parents live right near where this happened.. I had to go help them many times. I don't need to see "videos or pictures" I saw it with my own eyes, repeatedly. I saw first hand the confederate flags, the screa

It has never been the expensive part. The Glebe, Sandy Hill, Rockliffe, Island Park, etc.. All those parts of Ottawa's core have always been more afluent than the downtown by the Parliament. The rise of new condos in that area has pr

It's also problematic for the thousands of solo micro-businesses that operate in markets and pop-ups now (i.e. Etsy IRL). Most of them have a phone and a Square dongle, and that's it. Asking all those one-person shops and merchan

Do you mind sharing how much the panels cost from eBay? I feel like that's a key data point that would help people decide if they want to explore this further. edit: someone further down the thread discusses pricing: https:/&#x2F
