Understandable. Daniel Kahneman has some amusing anecdotes who people who work in finance really don't seem to figure out what it is they're really doing.
Most middle-class Canadians have been, or are being, forced down to a Wal-Mart level of existence.
That'll be why our street is full of new trucks and SUVs. They need them to drive to Wal-Mart, I guess.
Big retail chains are doomed. They can't compete on price with online stores, and they can't compete on service with local stores who don't have to send most of their profits to the stock market. This has little or nothing to do with Harper, unless you believe a more left-wing government would have nationalized Future Shop to keep it open.
We had Future Shop and about four other chains and a ouple of local stores. Then we got Best Buy as well, selling the same things as Future Shop, at the same prices. Now we have Best Buy and about four other chains and a couple of local stores. Hardly a 'monopoly'.
I buy most of my electronics from Amazon or one of the local stores. Future Shop was usually more expensive, and the staff clueless. I never understood why Best Buy kept them around.

I can think of roughly 1.25 billion people who don't find "Indian" racist.
But in the case of rape or murder, well, that will end family ties for a few decades.
For this purpose, would you consider "rape" to include sexual contact between an 18-year-old and a 17-year-old when the 17-year-old has presented fake ID? Or are you in the "save it for marriage to avoid accidental molestation convictions" camp?

Modern pseudo-slavery differs from slavery in the first half of the nineteenth century in one important way: the child of two wage slaves is not a slave to either of his parents' employers.
