Yet another relationship breakdown solved simply by polyamory.

You can love your rooster and your boyfriend at the same time.

Banning it just causes them to be the victim.

Put a massive tax on all of the multinational american leech corporations that control our media. Musk isn’t the cause of the problem, he’s a symptom of it.

The US stock market is shitting the bed, there is not a whole lot of business confidence being built there.

That said, Canadians are over invested in US equities and a reliable way to keep the pressure up is for Canadians to swap their retirement portfolios out of the US market.

No need to install puppet leaders when Canadians massively voluntarily consume American media.

If the stakes arent high then for the love of God stop posting about electoral reform so often.

I mean, good, the outcome is as intented.

People chose market solutions over harsh regulations and now the consequences for that are coming and many are crying about it.

I like the carbon tax and wish it was substantially higher. I live in an efficient way (condo living, bike everywhere, plant based diet) and from the people around me it sure feels like the carbon tax is far too low to make them reconsider any of their actions. I still see people constantly idling their cars for no reason and that’s the least of it.

I agree, but I’m not the one you need to convince, it’s Terry on Facebook who spends 2 hours a day complaining about bike lanes and vegans.

Why would someone as smart as him be uncertain about ensuring every vote counts?

Because it’s an absolute waste of political capital to make happen if there isn’t a strong movement fighting for it.

He’s repealing the consumer carbon tax.

It’s easy to just shift the costs to the background by charging producers. The outcome is largely the same.

The increased Liberal momentum has boosted the NDP’s chance to win my riding substantially so I’m definitely grateful for that.

Carney seems like he’s open to electoral reform so hopefully this is the last FPTP election.

What is your affiliation with the Fairvote organization?

I was already subbed lol, I’m also on the mailing list.

My MP voted for M-86 and I volunteered for them last cycle. I don’t really know what else to do.

“Canada’s liability would be no greater than US$346.7 million” – the difference between what it had already contributed and what was remaining of the original US$551 million commitment.

Since the analysis was produced, the Liberal government has paid another US$33 million.

Considering that there are Canadian companies that have contracts related to the f35 and they would almost certainly be cancelled or not renewed, running down the clock isn’t a terrible idea. The $300+m is already a sunk cost.

Canada has hummed and hawwed about electoral reform for decades. It just hasn’t been worth the required political capital to make it happen for any of the leaders.

This could be key to finally getting it done.

From another page:

“In addition, Canada will have full and exclusive control over Gripen’s secure data – a unique advantage of our offer. The Gripen Centre in Montreal will host all work on the fighter’s mission system and Canadians will carry out this work. With the mission system, communications and technical data all hosted in Canada, Gripen exceeds all industrial, security and controlled goods requirements. With Gripen the Royal Canadian Air Force will have maximum control over sensitive data handling.”

It’s a no brainer, in a world of digital warfare, needing to rely on a foreign home base is a tremendous liability.

If your only goal was to win, why would you want to be handcuffed by the responsibility?

Increasing domestic drone and munition (mortar shells, AT mines, grenades) production would be valuable too.

Canada put tariffs on Chinese EVs in Oct of last year. Funny this “retaliation” coincides with more favorable view of Chinese EVs and BYD than with when the tariffs were announced.

Kind of genius timing on their part.
