>>750165631Main problem is a string of games that lost money.
>>750165631Why though? Because they're called BioWare?
>>750165631Ubishit not enough? lol
honestly $10m per year is probably not that much compared to how much other shit governments waste money on
>>750165631yea now their failure can be the taxpayers problem
>>750165631Bioware is shit but the IP are still worth quite a bit more than they'll be willing to put up.
>>750166025Canada are very pro-creative industry to the point that if your animated feature is made in Canada, that only Canadian voice actors are allowed to perform on it.It's why Sonic Prime has a unique voice cast.
>>750166025Bioware is basically the last big Canadian studio.
>>750165631So we can get more dogshit games? No, just let BioWare's IPs rest in peace, please.
Why is Canada so turbo cucked?
>>750165631Probably not, games are kind of risky business and this only goes so far before people start getting pissed off at the money being lost or somethign offensive being in the game.
>>750165631>one of Canada's top opposition partiesdefinitely a statement
>>750165631They're talking about taking over a steel company that is set to shut down and cost thousands of jobs because of tariffs. I don't see how this is different.
>>750165631They're really making it obvious that all this was about brainwashing
>>750166393lol yeah they're irrelevantavi lewis can propose nonsense like this because he has zero actual power
>>750165631The Canadian government doesn't have money lmao, they're in economic freefall
>>750166342It's not all of canada, but the ones that aren't get fucked over hard by ontario and quebec, and thus far don't have the balls to go more than 1/4th the population in favor of secession.
>>750166767The U.S. is over 40 trillion dollars in debt.
It is theoretically possible but I guarantee you that they are incapable of supporting themselves independently.
>>750165631For what fucking purpose?
>>750165631>NDP wants to spend more money we don't have on a blatantly doomed venture that wouldn't matter at all even if it somehow succeededSounds about right.
>>750166920And still in better shape than Canada lmao
>>750165631>guberment needs to fun the non-buynary game studio>*checks Avi Lewis's early life*Every. Fucking. Time.
Hahaha what the fuck how is Canada a real place just ignore itIs bioware slop their biggest export
>>750165631>spend more money on a failing studiohow about no
>>750165631But they already run it themselves.
If employees want to make games they can form their own studio and make games based on new IPs. This is how most startups work.This would naturally shed any bad developers, because people know who was dead weight.Buying out the studio under some emoloyee ownership scheme skips the step where the structure that wasn't working (the studio) is destroyed and it's component parts can find better use in the econmy, whether it's people, capital or land.It just preserves the economically ineffective entity for some romantic socialist idea that if only workers owned the means of production things will be peachy.
>government to buy studio and let union run itSTATE SANCTIONEDFAGGOTRIYA
>>750166990Did you hear that on Fox news?
>>750166025it's basically losing a propaganda cog for them
>>750166171It'd be even better if they made good stuff. The slew of mandatory government funded animation still looks like a blotch of shit at the end of the day.
Maybe they should import more jeets
>>750167043the leader in question leads a party that almost got wiped out in the most recent election and is currently attempting to "how do you, fellow kids" his way back to relevancebasically HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>750165631Canadians want their taxes to go to that?
>>750167118No, it's basic fact. The US economy is )like 10 times bigger and our GDP per capita is twice as big, we also still have gold and silver reserves.
>>750165631I'd only support this if they meant giving the studio to the old Bioware heads.
>>750167208>Muh GDP
>>750167356The average American salary is also higher than the average Canadian salary....
>top opposite partyThe NDP had 5 seats, even the bloc Quebecois has more.
Really gets the noggin joggin...
>>750167571We also pay for less things out of pocket like healthcare. Alas, this is not the place to discuss such things.
>>750167129All that insidious pro-Canada propaganda in Anthem and Dragon Age
>>750165631The NDP are truly worthless. No wonder they got absolutely crushed in 2025
>>750167746>alas this is not the place to discuss such thingsmost pathetic line ive ever seen
>>750166342Wokeness exploits a basic feature of the human condition: our imagination can be more real to us than reality, so whoever shapes it can shape our morality and identity. This is especially effective in impressionable children, whose identities are largely formed by external influences. It's the same mechanism that makes people think Nintendo is their friend because its logo is associated with childhood joy. Woke types exploit this vulnerability like a malignant code injection into the mind, grooming children through the Internet while their useless parents fail to intervene before the claws of shit like Discord sink in.
>>750167948The most *canadian* line.
>>750165631
>>750167746I think it's super cool you guys give every Indian that comes over free healthcare
>>750165631Maybe he can pay it from his own pockets if he wants to salvage the propaganda studio so much
>>750167746>we don't pay for healthcareCanadian education ladies and gents. How much you pay in taxes, bub?
>>750166152EA owns the IP and theyre not going to sell it. The jew in OPs pic would only potentially (unlikely cause its a retarded idea) get the government to buy out the building Bioware Edmonton was operating from and subsidize their shitty propaganda game development. They're not going to buy the IPs for the Bioware devs and then just give it to them.
>>750168045I think it's cool how you let people die or go bankrupt to get treatment.
>>750168057Leftists are all missing large portions of brain matter.
>first it was about bailing out Ubisoft >now this shitThese leafs should shut up and go back to their suicide pods.
>>750167697The NDP is in a popularity freefall and picked (well had installed ) a kike of all people to be their leader. Unless his goal is to outright kill the party is was a pretty retarded move.
>>750168057Taxes are higher to cover services like healthcare, while Americans have lower taxes but must pay for more expenses out of pocket. The Canadian system tends to benefit the poor and working class, whereas the U.S. system favors those with higher incomes.
>>750168163>you let people dieVery true. They should learn from Canada and just euthuanizes you instead.
>>750166342To quote our last (and one of our few) good Prime Minister, Mackenzie King, "we have too much geography".It's difficult to remain up to date on politics when it's a roomful of snobby elitists in out-of-the-way Ottawa Ontario making retarded decisions while you're tens thousands of kilometers way over in a scarcely populated Prince Edward Island village.We legitimately have too much land without enough people to warrant it, yet our government insists on importing the bottom of the barrel people to live in the already overpopulated areas.
>>750166342They have lived too long with jews but not niggers.
>>750167746>We also pay for less things out of pocket like healthcare. Alas, this is not the place to discuss such things.We pay a fortune for healthcare with our taxes and our healthcare is SHIT.24+ hour waiting times for fucking EMERGENCIES, 12month + waiting times for surgery etcGo fuck yourself.This entire country has been ruined by retards like you and your third world pets.
>>750165631Does that moron realize EA owns the IPs? Even if he did somehow get enough money raised for them to miraculously revive Bioware as an "indie" dev, they would have to make entirely new IPs instead of anything people actually want. Also most of the employees were total libtards incapable of making a good game so they'd last for five more years at best.
List of Canada's ONLY worthwhile achievements:>Deus Ex Human Revolution>Splinter Cell Chaos Theory>the first KOTORwaoa
>>750169009>Deus Ex Human Revolution>Splinter Cell Chaos Theory>the first KOTORJagged Alliance 2 nigger.
>>750168973>24+ hour waiting times for fucking EMERGENCIES, 12month + waiting times for surgery etcthat's pretty rare, and would only be the case in rural areas with few doctorsit's worth not being charged tens of thousands of dollars for lifesaving surgery
>>750169009wheres the worthwhile achievements?
>>750169053this
>>750168973You're either not Canadian or live in some place where Conservatives in control are deliberately sabotaging hospitals to try and prove to literal retards that it should instead be replaced with corporate extortion. Never had either of these things happen and I've got a sick mom.
>>750166920Canada will be too once we take them over.
>>750166342Do they give gorillions to Israel too?
>>750165631wouldn't they just repeat the cycle
>>750166920You know what will fix that? Universal healthcare, UBI, reparations, and free food and housing for everyone. Thanks DSA.
>crying to their government to give them the company that just fired them and got shut down due to their constant failuresThey really do insist on drinking from the well they poisoned themselves.
>>750167908>pro-Canadahey, at least you tried
>>750169301If free healthcare is so great, why is your mom sick? Seems like the system isn't working.
>>750169572All that insidious... anti-Canada propaganda in Anthem and Dragon Age?
>>750169301>>750169163GOFUCKYOURSELVESOur healthcare system is an absolute shambles.
>>750169563Its not going to work. Carney is not going to give in to this retard jew socialist's demands because the government is already struggling trying to fix this fucked up economy and giving money away to a failed game studio to save 400 worthless unproductive jobs is the most retarded investment possible. Also the NDP has no leverage. They only have 5 seats out of 343 in parliament.The best plan they have is to open the floodgates to Trudeau levels of immigration again just to boost overall GDP and try to prevent a technical recession.
>>750169670Jesus. Imagine going to the emergency room and having to wait 40+ WEEKS just to get some medical treatment.
>>750169670wow I can't believe I spent 25 weeks in the hospital waiting room last time I was sick
>>750169667the insidious faggot propaganda, which is Canadian culture at this point
>>750169824>wow I can't believe I spent 25 weeks in the hospital waiting room last time I was sickThat's for surgeries you dumbfuck, but have fun waiting 48 hours in an emergency waiting room whilst dying.
>>750166342their very foundation is cuck in nature, very city and economy is cuck-coded by being American backed in it's early years
the propaganda MUST continue
>>750166342Supporting your businesses is cucked?
>>750165631lollmaoOf course Canada would try to save to fucking wokes
>>750169667yes yes, i see you
>>750169787>343 in parliament.I didn't know that Guilty Spark runs Canada
>>750165631cvcknada is not a serious nation.
>>750168057Less than what Americans pay to useless parasitic insurance middle men.
>>750167356Learn to fucking read. He said GDP per capita. Are you too young and economically illiterate to know the difference between that and nominal GDP?
>>750168163Poor people literally do not pay for healthcare in the US. By law hospitals must treat them and if the deadbeat can't pay theres nothing the hospital can do. So your premise that they will let people die is incorrect.
>>750169896LITERALLY an example of Conservative government sabotage at work you blithering retard. They factually ARE defunding and making hospitals worse wherever they can, with the obvious agenda of being able to claim the SHIT THEY BROKE THEMSELVES isn't working. Holy fuck how stupid can you be to buy into the scheme?
>>750169670It's okay if we import another 16 million doctors from india that wait times will improve (higher is better)
>>750170446there's less moving parts in 'the ruling party is incompetent' versus 'the opposition party is intentionally defunding hospitals to make the ruling party look bad'
>>750169301Not that anon, but a good chunk of my extended family lives in Canada, and I have a couple of friends up there too. They’re fairly spread out, but I know some family lives in the Thunder Bay and Alberta area. I don’t know if those are conservative areas, but pretty much all of them have complained about the healthcare system there at some point.
>>750166342Actually, we're doing just fine. Maybe stop being racist?
>>750170495Leftists unironically believe that leaving the door wide open to unlimited UberJeets drivers is going to magically have no impact on housing or services. They are not serious people.
>>750165631Nothing wrong with a nationalization of BioWare by Canada's government. They'd be doing what they're already doing. But I think they underestimate how many additional things within EA helped BioWare make their games. They had so many music/audio related services, and they'd go through EA to find outsourcing for all the 3D modeling and stuff like that, and they'd get access to code from other DICE or Respawn projects or Maxis etc.In a lot of ways these processes are also why BioWare diluted themselves to the degree that they did, but I just doubt they'd be able to run functionally without a Parent company.
>>750170446If we deported everyone that didn't belong then we could slash the budgets by 80% and be better off. Regardless I prefer them cutting budgets as is over making me pay more money to provide care for invaders.
>>750165631How would that even work?
>>750170809same way that business guy got rhode island to go bankrupt so he could make his mmo that never came out
>>750166342It's literally their take on nationalism.
>>750170565Healthcare is provincial, not federal. The highest wait times in 2022 according to >>750169670were MB, NB, PEI, NS where the ruling party was conservative.
>Want to visit Canada and check out Yukon>They're as chuddified as the lards nowWow, fuck the entire new world I guess.
>>750171317maybe its the ruling party intentionally defunding conservative provinces to get political leverage
