Can someone explain why has the police mostly betrayed the population? Aren't they the relatives of the protesters?

But what's the upside? Will this website EVER net Stripe a (figurative) DIME after paying 2 salaries? I think not. Maybe it will entice a few dozen new account signups per month. Who knows.

Community outreach is a good thing (tm) but I see now way any sane/experienced business person would pay a million dollars for this.

Agreed re. contractors. When you use the Uber app, you pay Uber. Not Joe Shmoe and his nice newish car. Therefore the HST should be payable, to Uber.

In turn, drivers who earn > $30k should provide their HST number to Uber, and Uber should be billed HST in remittances.

In turn, drivers can write off HST paid on all business-related expenses.

Yay, Value Added Taxes.

Totally. Ban him or Sell it to him. Deescalation or scorched earth. Enough of this pesky middle-ground.

Extraterritorial corporate interests manipulating a decision arguably more important than a single election?

Please, help me explore how this is significantly different than the Russia vs US election issue on the other side of the pond.

Touche! Maybe this old adage should be updated - (s)he who gets the most airtime wins.
