This will be weaponized by NIMBYs to further limit construction of housing and infrastructure, leading to a situation in which trees have more human rights than people.
It already says in the article they won’t be building anymore housing because they are forbidding cutting down trees to clear land to build, and they’re already out of open lots to build on.
This is 100% NIMBYs finding new ways to protect their property values.
I would be very surprised if Quebec doesn't already have some longstanding clean water act type law that accomplishes the same "can't clear let alone develop land without our discretion and paying $$" type restriction that the NIMBYS are getting here.
To get the basics of welfare the US has now, it took 25% of the country being unemployed,, everyone seeing their hard working grandparents dying in the ditch at the end of their life with nothing, and constant bread lines everywhere.
Oh, and massive organization of voters and rabid progressive populist support.
President Trump, above all, is the clearest and most direct example of how you absolutely can get what you vote for in the US. Republicans did not want Trump and fought it as much as they could. They openly declared how bad he was and how stupid and how awful he would be, and it didn't matter. Because people voted.
Donald Trump is in flagrant violation of constitutional law constantly, again, and it doesn't matter because voters want it.
He should be in prison but it doesn't matter because voters wanted him, wanted his bullshit, and voted against anyone who got in their way.
And yet, losers will STILL insist that "voting doesn't matter" or "Blah blah money in politics"
> You aren't "rich" if you have $1M and you owe $4M. You're a con-man living a lie that will crush you eventually.
I'm not sure the simile lands. If that $1M is financing a lavish lifestyle, then you are for all intents and purposes rich. As for the crushing down part, the modern economy shows us one can stay solvent longer than the market is irrational (especially true the more zeros are added to the numbers above).
There are lots of passwords there (though one wonder if they were rotated). Basically, the people doing the hiring are sending PDFs with their credentials to the contractors to do the job.
From my experience, you can't count on businesses to update their website to correctly reflect their working hours at all times either (especially if it's a one-off change, for example being closed for a day)
