Why do you think all these old rich/powerful people become rapists and child molesters?

I sort of resent this idea that everyone edges towards being a pedo when they become rich/powerful enough. I think it’s the other way around, that only extreme sociopaths are capable of becoming this rich/powerful and you have to be some kind of sociopath to be a pedo.

Polievre tweeted implying Spring. However, it does mean there’s 0 consequence for not voting along party lines here (or even just abstaining)

Expensive phones

Conservatives are requiring electronic votes for travelling MPs as far as I understand, so there’s very few excuses to “accidentally” abstain. However, one has already crossed the floor, and more are to come. If the Liberals don’t get a majority then I’m sure enough NDP are going to abstain for it to pass.

It sucks, but is unfortunately a necessary part of dealing with Trump. Carney probably hates what he has to do here, but I think it’s the right strategy of working on diversifying our trade partners while still jumping through the hoops to close a US deal

Boomers love this shit.

Designers are always just chasing the latest “border-radius” size

It’s not even about getting support, it’s enough MPs being “”“sick”“” so that it passes anyway.

I think he’s the right direction the NDP need to go in, but Rob Ashton himself is pretty uninspiring when you listen to him talk.

Magpies are very smart and easy to train. They eat peanuts out of my hand now :)

I just don’t like the unequal application. Lots of people struggling, lots of people unable to even get shitty jobs, but for some reason Canada Post mail carriers get special treatment? Nah, let’s just bite the bullet and implement UBI and stop giving some workers special protection.

It’s kind of ridiculous it took this long to enforce community mailboxes. I acknowledge some people are physically unable to reach a community mailbox but it’s such a small percentage it doesn’t make sense to base the entire system around them. There’s already ways to get door delivery for those people who live in areas with community mailboxes.

Can we be totally honest and admit the only reason we still have door delivery is to protect the jobs of mail carriers?

I don’t know what a rooming house is but it’s 1 box per unit/address. The keys can just be copied so if a bunch of people share 1 box you can just each have your own copy.

I have no doubt it 10xs developers who could produce 0 code without it

I think it depends on how you engage with it. I work with some younger people who are active AI users, and they call chatgpt “he” or “she” and prompt it like a conversation with a person. Their responses are a lot more conversational vs mine which are more direct.

Remember, the same reasons we’re critical of Trump’s tariffs (just hurts your own economy, ends up as just an extra tax on consumers) apply to our counter tariffs. I want to punish the US for their actions, but were the tariffs even helping us?

I think the rhetoric we’re hearing from Trump is a sign that we’re going to get a good deal. But I do think any “good” deal with Trump will be a net negative and it will be a long 4 years.

Yeah I live in Alberta and they make a shit tonne down in Taber

Steel and aluminum remain at 50%, and the EU has to invest in the US and buy military equipment from them. Sounds like a terrible deal and I hope we (Canada) don’t make a similar one.

Polievre still doesn’t understand how a blind trust works eh?

This has been my gripe with the national insurance plan - I think we should’ve started a national dentist service (or a CHA equivalent where we fund provinces to run a service) and not just run an insurance plan for private providers. Either that or regulation and standardization of pricing and care delivery.
