Reply to comment by girlfreddyf in All unauthorized Airbnb listings in Quebec to be removed from app, company says by girlfreddyf
I meant to say they absolutely did know and ignore the amount of listings on their platform that weren't unauthorized. If the platform were to remove unauthorized listings in other provinces and also in the United States, I'm sure it would hurt them..

Reply to comment by SN0WFAKER in Toronto MP Han Dong quits Liberal caucus amid Chinese interference allegations by chemicologist
People are getting fed up with Trudeau not because they're right wing, but because he's useless and all about his good image and PR than Canadians. He's all talk but no work to show for it.
We have a lot of issues right now in our country that should be talked about and spoken about, but Trudeau dodges every single question and/or calls you a racist when you bring up important problems like this (CCP interference in elections and politics) as talking about such an issue could implicate him and his party with some dirty laundry.
Hence why a lot of Canadians are paying attention as this is the CSIS talking and they gave this information to a trusted journalist who broke the news years ago about casinos in BC and them laundering money for the CCP.

If they had no idea that individual cities, provinces, states or countries had rules against Airbnbs I might agree with you. But since rules have been in place (in some locations) for years I'd say they actively ignored them to make the most profit and only decided to do it now because of the liability issues.
And I hope every one of the families sues their gold-plated socks off.

But then they'd have to actually work for their billions in profit.

As an American, I wish my country would take a page from Germany's book on how to deal with the shameful part of our history. Instead, we have wannabe dictators banning math problems for being too "woke".

I'm pretty sure this is probably more about avoiding sharing in future liabilities for permitting unauthorized listings that result in injury and/or death as opposed to them turning a blind eye to municipal regulations.

Political campaigns are contests between terrible options... so what's your point? Newsflash, people don't vote FOR governments. They vote against the current one.
Fuck Trudeau is an expression of frustration with the person, it doesnt specifically mean anything about someone's political leanings. Yes, popularized by right wing nut jobs... doesnt invalidate its meaning.
Are you offended by the Canadian flag because it was used as a symbol by the trucker convoy? If not, are you a right wing crazy?
In 2015, a man was stopped and fined for displaying a 'fuck harper' sign in his car. Was he a left wing crazy? The senate page (2011?) who held up a sign saying stop harper... a left wing crazy?
Despite what you write next, I know that you don't see those things as anything but noble acts to voice displeasure with a political figure...
Trudeau ignored what could potentially be a foreign government meddling with our nation from within his own party and doubled down on it being racist to even think that. If that isn't far left woke bullshit I don't know what is. Strategy aside, it was wrong to take that stance regardless of the party involved.
He's just as bad as polliviere but you can't see or wont admit it. The whole reason this brand of politics works is because people like you buy into it.

The tritium isotope released is very, very little. Humans are exposed to far more tritium than what has leaked.
>Valerie Myers, a health physicist with the NRC, told WCCO last week that [the amount of tritium that's in the water is negligible.
>"If we look at the dose impact of something like this, it would be a fraction of a milligram. I'm talking 0.00-something milligrams. The average person will get 300 milligram in a year just from the sun, the ground, everything," Myers said.

Reply to comment by mtarascio in LAUSD schools reopen after 3-day strike ends with no contract settlement for service workers by nosotros_road_sodium
THey had an offer of 23% 2 days ago when the striking began, they rejected, and in context that's up from $25,000 in Los Angeles California, where they've been working WITHOUT a contract for almost 3 years now. Also that 23% number is just what was released by the district(against the confidentiality agreement they entered into with the negotiation team) to hurt the cause of the strikers.
It clearly hasn't been working at all and they need to take more more meaningful steps. The district is just fucking with them

It’s not their job to notify the public, that would be the regulating agency and bonus it’s not a fucking safety concern.

They literally reported it to the public later. The article explains they chose not to.
Do try to read it next time.

The news story YOU JUST LINKED says Xcel reported the leak right away.
The REGULATORS didn't tell the public. In this case, the government failed the people. The company followed proper reporting proceedure.
But you know, keeping having a shitty, know-it-all attitude? How's that working out for you?

None of you can read.
The comment he was responding to was about reporting it to the public.
They chose not to report it to the public, as I said.
Do try to actually read the comment you're trying to correct.

You posted an article that said they voluntarily reported it after they found the leak. They weren’t even required to because it hadn’t reached unsafe levels so what is your point exactly? There is regulation for reporting this, they did nothing wrong.

I'm sorry, but this is misinformation. GTFO.
They reported it IMMEDIATELY. It just didn't grab headlines until later.

Oh yeah, I would never want my support of nuclear energy to be misconstrued as approving of corner cutting. The return on investment of nuclear energy takes like a decade, because the plants CANNOT be cutting any corners, and cost so much to properly design, build, and commission.
If anything, I would expect the greediest, most irresponsible corporations to be lobbying for more fossil fuel burning, which is actually orders of magnitude more dangerous than nuclear. It's just that the victims of fossil fuels are spread out over millions of cases over decades instead of 1 big headline-grabbing accident every few years, most of which results in little/no deaths (Chernobyl NPP being the obvious exception). For example, Fukushima had 1 casualty, and that was a pretty major incident.

Weird, and yet they managed to notify the public the second time around.
Transparency goes a long way, but the point is the person was responding to a comment about lack of public notification. They were wrong.
I've said nothing about health hazard, I know what tritium is and what acceptable levels are. Stop strawmanning the argument here.
