>>2179020The Irving family, perhaps not de jure but de facto, owns New Brunswick. They fund the tertiary educational facilities, they own the majority of the provincial media producers, they own virtually all engineering and construction firms in the province, etc., etc.. The Irvings have dominated New Brunswick since the late 1800s, and in the 21st century the province is little more than their personal fiefdom. It's been nearly 150 years, and the family still insists on keeping the company private because of the immense benefits it reaps for them.

I do fear that this disease will be used by lazy and incompetent doctors as a sort of "catch-all" diagnosis, since it's easy to hate on the Irvings and it's hard to provide good quality medical care.
>>2167548The conservatives and the liberals are two sides of the same coin. Both parties have virtually the same stances on immigration, the one real issue that the country faces, and both parties support the Century Initiative. If Pollievre and the Conservatives win, the GDP will continue to be artificially propped up by the housing market. No party wants to admit that we are facing a looming catastrophe vis-à-vis the quality of life and the cost of living that will commence when the great die-off begins in the next 10-15 years. They don't want to admit it because every party is composed of very wealthy individuals that have
