  • I might be the only one, but I really liked the ending of Mass Effect 3. I appreciated that at the end, there are things that you can’t save, all the choices you’ve made in aggregate sometimes don’t make the difference you think they will, and at this grand level, maybe nothing you do will feel like the ‘right’ thing to do. I thought there was a really unique, deep sort of meta-philosophy about that.

    I also played the games back-to-back over the course of a few weeks, not as they were released. Part of me wonders if it would be possible to have an ending to the trilogy that satisfied the sort of player who played the games over the long arc of their release and spent years casting their imaginations toward an ending.




  • The way this alarmist article is talking, it sounded like hundreds or thousands of weapons are missing and continue to go missing on a weekly or monthly basis.

    The title of the article states the number of weapons missing, and the time frame.

    I’m not sure the RCMP would extend reciprocal sympathy and understanding to a citizen firearm owner who lost their gun.

    Are you saying you don’t think this issue merits investigation?

    Shortspine thornyhead grow slowly and have long lives of possibly up to 80 or 100 years. The females grow to larger sizes than the males, reaching sexual maturity at approximately 18 cm (7.1 in), or when they are 8 to 10 years old. The females are fertilized internally and extrude the fertilised eggs in pelagic, gelatinous masses.

  • The Liberals will never, ever do it. It would be probably impossible to do before October, and frankly, unhinged to try to get it done before then, even if only from a logistical standpoint.

    The fact that JT spent a decade not doing it, is forever a black mark on the Liberal party, imo. And in choosing to not do it, in effect, the Liberals salted the earth on the topic of electoral reform. Anyone who promises it now is going to get laughed out of the room.

    Electoral reform is a symbol of the Liberal carrot and stick politics of the past decade.

    I have absolutely no love for Poilievre whatsoever, but listen to his answer to the question:

    Do you accept [Musk’s] endorsement?

    He very specifically doesn’t say yes at any point. He starts off by saying that going to Mars is the ambition of a toddler. He goes on to say “I hope Tesla opens some factories in Canada so that Canadians can benefit”. He calls doubt on the notion that a meeting with Musk is ever even in the realm of possibilities.

    For people who hate Poilievre, I challenge you to really listen to what he says here. He’s dissing Musk, actually pretty harshly.


  • One way it could happen is the CPC limits CBC resources every year, forcing it to gradually degrade, & increasingly rely on advertisers. Then when the plug is finally pulled, it won’t seem so bad, because it’s so degraded anyway. A lot of damage could be done in the span of a few years.

    I don’t want this to happen, but I think it’s what might happen.

    Also, consider from the article:

    The McGill study says only 40 percent of rural Canadians are satisfied with their local coverage


  • I don’t think the CPC as a party is strong per se. A baboon could be the leader of the CPC and they’d be polling about the same, maybe even better. People just hate the Liberals that much. And when pocketbooks get tight, that’s the way it goes. Though, whether the CPC actually has the ability to govern and solve the economic problems people want solved, is another question.


  • Haha that’s an understatement. Whoever wins this public and likely acrimonious leadership race, earns the prize of the most painful political week imaginable. Make speech from the throne, then get immediately ass blasted from every direction until the government falls. It’s a suicide mission.

    All those Cabinet ministers who suddenly wanted to be with their families instead of being in Cabinet, they saw something in the tea leaves.


  • I have to wonder, after all that’s happened, if he hasn’t resigned by now, or even shown any signs that he is chastened at all, what could give us cause to expect that he would ever choose to resign?

    And so, for Trudeau, what would even be the point of prorogation? If it didn’t happen on the day of the Chrystiapocalypse, why now, or ever?

    What reason do we have to believe that Trudeau won’t simply strut into the next election, full of self confidence?
