I’m a software developer in Canada. I’ve only ever heard “day ta”

Trudeau and PP both have a history of wearing ethnic costumes, but it’s just funny to me that Trudeau actually looks good in them and PP looks creepy since he’s such an inauthentic alien

Squinty lizard-person is making fun of the candidate that looks like a real person?

Ah, yes, it’s because she’s a woman and not because she sold our province to the Americans

Something I’ve wondered is how the poll aggregators apply the vote % to regional breakdowns / seat estimates. Are they using the voting patterns from previous elections, or is there polling data broken down by seat?

So if voting patterns changed significantly without overall vote % changing much, the results could still be very very different, correct?

Federal NDP candidates running in Alberta are not ANDP

Though technically true, in this party-driven system, the MPs are kept in-line with what the PM wants. In theory you’re voting for an MP to represent you, but it does feel like in practice you vote for an MP to represent their leader.

Am I literally voting for Carney? No. Am I voting for the guy that will get Carney in office? Yeah

It’s ABC, but it’s also the result of Singh. NDP was neck and neck with Liberals when the Liberals were polling poorly, which could’ve been the NDP’s chance. If Singh still doesn’t get replaced after this election, I don’t think the NDP is going to fare well.

What time is it at Billy’s house? 12 o clock! 12 o clock!

Despite the obvious hypocrisy with Taiwan and Hong Kong, he does benefit from supporting Ukraine since it ensures further destabilization of Russia.

I still think this was a mistake, dental industry needs better regulation before we subsidize all the private practice with this dental plan. It can and should be much cheaper.

wtf… i’m on vacation at that time.

Mail-in ballot

how can they call an election so soon?

Elections are regulated to a 36-50 day campaign period.

good app interface

Maybe it’s because I don’t use any other Apple products, but I struggle with its interface

He won’t get hired if he isn’t able to speak the language (whatever that might be for the region/clinic/hospital), it doesn’t need to be part of licensing.

Absolute nonsense - an English speaking doctor would be very successful in many Quebec communities, likewise a French speaking doctor would have a lot of success in many communities outside of Quebec. There’s also just as many non-English/French communities where this would be a “problem”. Regulating what language a doctor “must” speak would be just another wasteful bureaucratic hoop.

She might get some exceptions or reductions because of her bootlicking, but keeping them is going to mean keeping up with Trump’s changing demands. It’s a short-sighted way that will result in a complete loss of our sovereignty - though she’s probably fine with that 🙄

Why not?

Honestly just another reason that ranked choice isn’t the best version of electoral reform :P

Disagree on your assessment of why PR failed, but I agree with it being the bottom of my priorities right now. Back in 2013 I voted Liberal for the first time (normally an NDP voter) purely for electoral reform - it’s incredibly important for the long term health of our democracy. However, we’re in an economic crisis, and I really think we need to survive the next few years before we can worry about long term health, and I think Carney is the right guy for that. I will be happy to see him replaced with someone more progressive down the road.

She specifically writes that it’s no different between the Liberals and Conservatives, and goes further to say Carney would pave the road for someone worse than PP. That’s just straight up delusional.
