Voter, c’est aussi un soutien financier

En votant pour une candidate ou un candidat, ou encore pour un parti politique qui rejoint vos valeurs et vos idées, vous encouragez la personne qui défend vos intérêts.

Votre vote a une valeur financière. Lorsqu’une candidate ou un candidat est élu ou obtient au moins 15 % des votes, la moitié de ses dépenses électorales sont remboursées à sa représentante officielle ou à son représentant officiel. Une aide financière annuelle est également accordée aux partis politiques en fonction du nombre de votes qu’ils ont obtenus lors de la plus récente élection générale provinciale.

Quelques votes peuvent faire la différence pour le candidat ou le parti que vous choisissez d’appuyer.

I think economic pressure means people aren’t buying new ones if they’re not rich)

Me included, Im looking for used bikes only but a model that is still being produced just to have peace of mind that I will be able to find spare parts in the long term.

    I've been looking to get a new japanese cruiser around 1300 cc to replace my machine that is getting old, but there doesnt seem to be any more being produced today. All brands seem to have stopped making them around 10 years ago or longer.

    Right now theres only the Kawasaki Vulcan 900, the Honda rebel 1100, the Honda Fury 1300... and thats pretty much. After that it jumps right to the Vulcan 1700.

    What happened to the japanese mid size cruisers? Nobody rides long distance on highways anymore?

    What you call paranoia is basic InfoSec 101 training that everybody in a company must learn. If the domain name of a link or an email address has any difference with what you expect, then its most likely a phishing attack.

    Also the fact that your account was just created yesterday is very suspicious. I would discourage everybody reading this to click on the links of this post.

    OP says that this is a link from ehnow.ca but the link in the post is from ehnw.ca which is missing an "o" and that is very common on fishing attacks.

    I wouldnt click on it until OP explains why the domain name is different.

    My car needs a new exhaust, the clutch spring needs replacement, and it’s starting to rust. (I’ve had it since 2009 so it’s just normal with old age. It’s just happening at the worst time.

    Is you car really essential for you? If is not, you should consider using a bicycle more, it really did wonders for me. Im saving all the money I used to spend in maintenance, insurance, immatriculation and gas. Besides I don't get stressed by dealing with other drivers, heavy traffic, potholes and construction, on the contrary the extra exercise and the fact that I can experience more the quiet neighbourhood life while I ride puts me in a good mood.

    Even if you cant get rid of your car, you could use it less and still get most of the benefits.

    Is not a solution to all your problems, but it can make a big difference.

  • Is A&W Canadian? (sh.itjust.works)
     

    Just found out this Wikipedia article where it says its american: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A%26W_Restaurants

    But then in there there is a link to this other article where it says that A&W Canada is actually a separate Canadian company: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A%26W_(Canada)

    Kind of confusing to be honest but if I understood correctly, it seems like buying in there is not supporting the americans, am I right?

    weird how trolls like you don’t apply this logic to Israel or the US. Why does Canada sanction neither of them?

    Lets ignore for a moment the deflection you are doing bringing up Israel and the US for some reason, the childish name calling and the projection... I actually think Canada should, what Israel is doing is appalling and the U.S is clearly not our ally (or anybodies but Putins).

    Now lets go back to the part where you were defending children being kidnapped... seriously wtf is wrong with you?

    Wow... just... wow... let me put it in a way you can understand...

    A group of armed strangers break in into your house, kill your dog, destroy your things and kidnap your children. You yell at the kidnappers "thank you for taking my children out of danger". Everybody around you wonders "what the fuck is wrong with you?!"

    Seriously, do you believe your own bs? Who do you think you are fooling?

    For Radio-Canada/Rad, journalist Julia Pagé and director Frédéric Lacelle traveled to Philadelphia to meet with members of a group that called itself the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense. Armed with AK-47s, party members patrol their neighbourhood to defend citizens against police violence.

    The group has since changed its name to the Black Lion Party for International Solidarity.

    MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell describes how the British government, “in its idiotic attempt to co-opt Donald Trump through flattery, has put their King in the center of the Epstein scandal with Donald Trump sitting at the table” but not former Ambassador Peter Mandelson or Prince Andrew.
