Politicians don’t get to dictate what is taught and researched at Canadian colleges and universities. Research and institutional funding shouldn’t come with political strings attached. #StopNSBill12: ansut.ca/bill-12/

It’s not that I disagree and that seems to me to be implied by the source but here’s last year vs this year.

What’s this nonsense. Automatic tax filing works well in many countries and would save citizens time and money. This “taxpayer” group is out of touch with normal citizens.

Argues with me, makes no sense, thinks I’m in US then doubles down. Can’t click on links or look at a profile and assumes “Halifax” is in UK despite prices being in dollars. Has a fit at being called out and blocks me when he started the nonsense. Gotta love blue check geniuses.
