As said by other users, percent is the same as per cent. per 1000 is per mille as in per one thousand(mille) see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Per_mille

Nice. Finally some action. But I bet the provinces would still complain and continue to under fund education.

I watched the debate from 1979. I wish Broadbend could have presented his vision better. He was a too aggressive and I can see why people voted for Joe Clark. Just on behaviour and delivery alone.

The biggest issue at the time was oil production. The NDP proposed nationization while the PCs privatization. The PCs presented the choice between Canadian ownership vs government ownership and Clark stressed that. While Braodbend focused on domestic vs foreign interference. The PCs promising "direct ownership" as opposed to "nebulus government" ownership was delivered better.

I wish the NDP embrace more demsoc principles. This will lead to focusing on distribution of power. Instead of setting up crown corporations with the board of directors being responsible to parliament, they should have proposed elected boards of directors of crown corporations be directly elected by the people on election day (maybe even sit/replace the senate) and also pitch it as alternative public revenue source.

The PCs used the NDP talking point, about domestic ownership/control and direction and flipped it against them by tying it and subverting it into direct private shareholders.

The NDP should do the same but reverse. Tie patriotism/civic duty of one vote per person to the concept of voting and controlling of natural resources through giving votes to each citizen to crown corporations and charging the PCs of removing the concept of one person one, vote. Also use fiscal conservatism against itself. Crown corporations diversify revenues. Charge the PCs of raising taxes due to reduced "income streams" for government. Lastly, tie charity to social welfare as it is the same thing.

I think voting for ministers directly would have to a part of electoral reform. A lot of people who don't vote for the only party that safeguards and advances public health care, the NDP, would vote for Health Ministers that are for universal health care.

Got mine in October, along with the regular flu shot. I haven't gotten anything yet.

I think it's both?

  1. Send link to her but it doesn't work because it's only available on the local machine
  2. Show the website by first opening the downloads folder then clicking the website

You can bring your device to people. Most people use laptops now instead of desktops

I just say they have two parts to them. The working part and the owning part.

The working part works on the business and without it the business does not survive.

However the owning part is the part expecting an roi.

The goal of the small business owner is to separate the working and owning parts of themselves.

This fully happens when they hire employees, enough of them for themnot to work.

Then the small business owner is just an owner and their employees are the working class.

Can you include a link for gst rebate for coops? Would like to read it.

Bourgeois = owning class

Proletariat = working class

If you get income from owning (stocks [dividends, capital gains], landlords [rent]) = owning class

If you get income from working (hourly wage, salary) = working class

I think that should work. What do you think?
