The US might. That’s not the entire world.

I don’t have any great love for Neufeld, but I’m curious about why he’s very suddenly leaving mid-contract. Did the city or province lean on him, or is it something else?

Can you imagine?

“We just had 338 team members face a tough challenge. 144 of them, including the boss, failed. You did the VERY BEST out of alk of them, and now we’re firing you so the boss doesn’t get in trouble.”

And what are “hashtag passwords?”

I find that idea fascinating, because I don’t think Harper is going to ley him stick around.

Holy shit, what a disingenuous puff piece!

It portrays Ford - one of the most self-interested, power-hungry, and amoral politicians in Canadian history - as Captain Canada, the gracious and intelligent saviour of Canada. It taljs about Hoyston’s ambitions to lead the party but doesn’t mention that it’s likely going to come down to a two-horse race between Ford and Kenney.

I’m disgusted. That was pure campaign material.

No it isn’t.

People are ruining other people’s lives by creating and distributing deepfake porn.

I dislike genAI for most purposes, but it’s the people who are to blame here.

Nope.

For context, I’m in my late 50s and always want to know the right answer, and share it with everyone.

Buy sometimes, you need to let it go. You might be in a situation where someone is confidently stating something you know to be wrong. Correcting them can - depending on context - come across as insulting and know-it-all; and if it’s not important, maybe stay silent this time.

Now if you’re in a situation where the truth IS important, or where everyone is more interested in the truth (or even debate) than something cool but false, your knowledge will be appreciated.

You don’t have to always have the last word, even if it’s right.

“Canada’s left” is a long way from where the NDP stand.

The Liberal party is absolutely the Progressive Conservatives of 1980. The NDP are a mostly-ineffectual version of the Liberals of the same era. The Green Party needs to get their leadership shit in order to take on the coherent left role.

The CPC is now in the same category as the PPC or Christian Heritage party - racist nutbars who deserve to be forgotten except as a historical footnote.

Let’s not worry about ‘fixing’ the NDP as a left party, accept who they are, and filling the hole they left when they slid right.

Wow, that is really terrible!

Classic Linus. Angry, opinionated, ascerbic, and entirely right.

Oh, but he HAS said what it means.

• “diversity, equity and inclusion” (DEI) and “environmental, social and governance” (ESG) ideologies are garbage
• Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said Wednesday he is only aware of two genders — male and female
• [when] asked whether he would ask the U.S. to recognize the gender-neutral “X” marker available on Canadian passports, Poilievre pivoted to talking about the cost of living instead
• Poilievre vows to repeal environmental assessment law to fast-track resource projects
• Poilievre told his supporters that the Liberal government had driven investment away from Canada by pursuing an agenda of “radical net-zero environmental extremism.”
• Poilievre promised to use the notwithstanding clause to impose consecutive life sentences on multiple murderers. The Supreme Court of Canada ruled in 2022 that imposing consecutive life sentences violates an offender’s Charter rights
• Introduced bill Defined marriage as a union between ‘one man and one women to the exclusion of all others’
• Said Indigenous Peoples needed to learn the value of hard work more than they needed compensation for residential schools
• Said wearing a niqab at a citizenship ceremony is “not in line with Canadian values.”

And his actions since day one have backed this up.

I mean, Trudeau is newly single and still a pretty solid dish.

Carney though, looks like me. Don’t understand that one.

Every election seems to break a new advance voting record. I think that the only thing really happening is that advance voting is becoming more mainstream. When I was a kid, it was something done by people about to go on holidays or being impossibly unavailable on election day. Now, it’s pretty common among the general populace, even if they can make it out on election day.

Awww, what a nice article! What a nice guy!

Fucker.

I’ll grant that the organ donation bill is a good thing. In the spirit of non-partisanship, I wanted to congratulate him when it passed. Sadly I couldn’t because he hae blocked me on social media - the very first politician to do so, and all because I pointed out that Trudeau wasn’t responsible for a judiciary ruling that happened under Harper’s government.

He was and remains a party stooge and Poilievre fanboy. We get mounds of CPC propaganda from him with typical false surveys and rage bait.

He did exactly one good thing in his 21 years as an elected official, and is now being lauded by a mealy press as he buggers off.

So long Len. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

“Operationsl misunderstanding” apparently means “we thought we could hide this mass execution.”

Trump.

FIFA is such scum.

I wanted to buy tickets, so I signed up to their stupid list. I get constant invitations to buy packages of random shit that - IF I collect an entire set, at the cost of several thousand dollars - could maybe give me an opportunity to buy tickets.

Fuckers.

Even if he did all that, getting into California would still require going through the feds first.

I am the milkman. My milk is fresh and cold.
