This is someone in my age group. Hopeful that younger politicians can bring trans rights back to the UK when the Gen-Xers/Boomers age out.

It feels like the administration are on a power trip here. Shows a complete lack of maturity, which is ironic considering they're supposed to the the adults in this situation, eh.

Counter: We join the EU, but stay out of Eurovision. That show is dumb.

Once, my grandmo asked if I identified more as a Maritimer or a Canadian. I looked at her all puzzled, like "what an odd question". Maritimer is more a qualifier than an identity; all Maritimers are subsets of Canadians. It feels weird that anyone in Canada would 1st ID by their province or region.

How can they justify taking these trips? It would be like accepting paid trips from Turkish nationalists and still expecting them to write objectively on issues like Kurdish independence or the Armenian genocide.

These are the starter packs you are in. If you block the creators of those starter packs, it will remove you from any starter pack they added you into.

a) Being unsympathetic to Israelis does not make him unsympathetic to Jews. b) Supporting Houthi actions against genocide or occupation is not the same as supporting violence against Jews. c) Piker is blunt & combative, but that's his style generally. It does not make him indifferent to Jewish pain.

Looking through your post history and you seem reasonable. Why do you believe Hasan Piker is "a disgusting, hateful bigot and one of the most prominent left-antisemites in the world".

Either way, I doubt May would vote against the government on confidence. So all the Liberals need is one floor crosser?
comment in response to

1 floor-crosser, and Elizabeth May agrees to support the government on confidence bills, and that's game-set-match for the opposition, right?

Wish I could preview grief in a way that is helpful. Lost my mom 5ys ago. The pain is less, and it's not really increasing or decreasing. It's more of an ache. It takes a long time before you can have memories of that person that aren't coloured by sadness, but it does come. And that's where I'm at.

I had this happen once at work, went down to emergency bc it lasted an hour or two, never had anything like that happen before.

If the US wants its version of CanCon requirements, then it should pass a law giving the government authority to do that. There's no way to tariff TV shows or movies, so this just looks like a case of the US having a tariff hammer and thinking every problem looks like a nail.

How do you tariff a movie when you don't have the authority to tell people what shows and movies they're allowed to screen or stream? Pretty sure this 100% tariff is 100% made up BS.

Nick Kouvalis being a big ol' bomb thrower is kind of hilarious when it's not directed at you.

I'm reminded of a thing I read about Iran's government, that they want to be a totalitarian regime but are too incompetent to make that happen, so Iranians actually have a lot of freedom.

It's sad NDP got caught up in the Libs' unpopularity, then ended up taking the hit to save their government. Working together on Pharma, Dental, Childcare, climate, etc, is a good thing, and politicians shouldn't have to choose between doing the right thing and doing what's best for their party.

Technically, he could become Prime Minister, but one of his supporters would have to give their seat and the $200k salary + future pension.
Right now, it almost guarantees he'll be forced to step down as Conservative leader, since it proves that he is very unpopular with voters.

I think this is the election that made me believe that we need a proportional system because if 40-44% vote can't even produce a functioning stable minority government, what's even the point of FPTP? If it doesn't produce stable governments, which is its whole purpose, then shoot it and bury it.

We are 1 seat away from having a functioning minority. I am happy that the Cons did not win it, but bitter because I don't like living on the knife's edge.

It's just marked ballots you're technically not allowed to photograph. No one's going to prosecute anyone for showing a marked ballot though.

Is it as bad as 2015 when they covered all the Postmedia rags with Elections Canada yellow and a headline saying "Voting Liberal will cost you."?

No wait! But that's because I voted on Easter Sunday at 8:30pm during a rainstorm.

Funny enough, being a kid who almost couldn't vote in the 2015 election, because of how restrictive those ID requirements were, is what made me politically active against the CPC. (Didn't have any photo ID, utility bills, bank statements or cheques with my current address, documented lease, etc.)

JFC, I wasn't expecting to randomly click on a snuff film today. Doesn't Facebook usually have a clickthrough screen so you know you're going to be watching graphic content? Not fucking okay.

I think liberal socialism is about reconciling liberalism and socialism as two parts of the same animal. The animal might end up looking like social democracy or it might look like something else, but the point is to erase differences between liberals and socialists.

As someone who's been rooting for Poilievre to lose in every election since 2011 when I became politically aware, I thank you for your sacrifice.
