Umm.... good luck with that in China.
It seems that you don't seem to quite understand the nuances of liberty, freedom, democracy, etc.
If you are equating capital gains taxes as somehow related to something like self-determination... I'd recommend you stay off WeChat for a bit and actually read up on what concepts like liberty, democracy, etc actually are.
You can spend your time understand Liberty well. None of my business. Some people like to talk freedom , but they force their ideology upon someone else. I recommend you travel the world a bit, don't be frog at the bottom of the well. hahahaha.

That's false equivalence.
Democracy > Authoritarianism
If the CCP aren't so insecure about their position of power, they should just let HK have it. If China's style is really as great as many pro- CCP are claiming, then voters would be voting for them, amirite?
we don't even have the freedom to choose our own car insurance company. What makes us qualify to criticise other country's democracy. To me their are 2 kinds of democracy.
Useful one and useless one. Having freedom of speech to bad mouth Trudreau is a useless kind of democracy. Having freedom to chose a auto insurance company a useful kind of democracy. When selling your property or stock not having to pay capital gain tax is a useful kind of democracy. Have a lot of choice when calling a cab is useful kind of democracy. I disagree with a lot of things Chinese government does, but you understand they can pick their auto insurance company , and there is no capital gains in China right? The useful democracy saves your money, the useless democracy waste your time. People are too dumb to be mislead by mainstream media. Everybody should have their own opinion.

Hong Kong Students are brainwashed by the British. China students are brainwashed by the CCP. How other people waste their time is none of mine business.

Watch the GM trade Garnier for a 2nd rounder on trade deadline.

Unless self driving really reaches to the level where cars can be deployed on the street. Then, the drivers will be making 0 dollars and company will rake in profit. The stock for Uber and Lyft will skyrocket.
I personally think the self driving is still few years away if it ever happens, maybe not soon enough before the sell off begins. Yeah, I would be wary of buying Uber shares too. But there is definitely an upside to these stocks, high risk high gain I guess.
It would be fun to see cop pull over self driving cars. "Sir please put down your windsheild, God damn it, why are you not yielding to ambulence. I want to give you a ticket for speeding and not yielding to police." Self driving car says: " please call 1 800 complain" Cop:" I need back up. We need to block off Main and Terminal. A self driving vehicle is trying to leave without my permission"

Seems they (many cab drivers) protest rules, period. I remember them having a Monopoly on parking spots in the lot beside the skytrain. Got glares from them many times as I pulled in there to wait for my kids. They were a hazard as they sped in and out, often at the risk of pedestrians trying to get to the bus stop across the way.
Also....when I ran a lottery booth for a period of time some of the seniors liked to come up for "a visit" as much as anything. It was often their only form of entertainment and human interaction. One woman, in particular, lived about a mile up the road in an apartment on her own. Taxis stopped picking her up because they told her it took too long to load her stuff and she wasn't going far enough. She was forced to bus and didn't come out nearly as often after that.
Sorry, no sympathy from me - deal with it. No job is guaranteed forever and it's just like the real estate agents whining about the measures being put into place to deter speculation and flipping. It was good while it lasted...so count your blessings.
A little healthy competition is good for customers.What you said is so true, too many whiner in this world. All people do is complain, they hope the government can solve problems for them. good luck.

Ken Holland really believes he is a bust. Otherwise Edmonton would never let him play in Finland.

Loui is going to finish his career in Vancouver , and walk out of airport like a true winner.

Hongkong has no future. Those people should immigrate to England or Canada.

You are not the only one who think JB has done just fine. I think JB has done just fine as well. The ownership probably thinks JB has done just fine as well. Not great just fine enough to keep his job for now.

If Sutter put up any points this year, he should be traded before deadline.

Who plays checking centre for the Leafs, Spezza? JT had to fill that role when Kadri was suspended, and was terrible at it. Teams just don’t win Cups without a checking centre.
We got two good one. Sutter and Beagle neither scores or let others score . Toronto need a bored you to death kind of checking centre.

Oilers loves the leftover food from Canucks's plates.

Canucks won't offer nobody, they can barely survive signing their own players. There is mutual understanding between the GMs in the league nobody makes any offersheet.

2 mil a year sound pretty reasonable. And Benning is not signing him long term. Brings some grit and toughness. I haven't really seen him play. What is his weakness?
Hutton might be a better skater.

Vancouver Ronins.

Might be a mini parade in DT when he leaves. I will find time to be there.

JB is on a timetable. No GM can really act on the best interest of the team if they are on a timetable. So I expect more desperate moves coming soon.
