15 minutes well spent

I’ve heard they may actually be the ancestor breed of corgis

And also probably some chunk of those views are from bots or otherwise not real trying to boost engagement metrics and game the algorithm

I tend to notice that it’s only fascists that try to promote their agenda in other countries.

That is definitely not the case. All sides of the political spectrum try to push their views in other countries. John Oliver, a British American media personality, urged Canadians to vote for Trudeau in 2015 on his show.

I’m so fucking glad I got out of that hellhole of a city.

Even right wing economists agree that carbon tax is the best way to do it. The only case against it is a climate change denial case. It uses the laws of economics to attack the problem of climate change at the source. The issue is whether the tax rate is right and whether we allow corpos to buy “offset credits” that are actually worthless.

Researching forbidden lore

“Increasing competition” without lowering prices is meaningless.

Tell me you know nothing about economics without telling me you know nothing about economics. The effect of increasing competition in a heavily monopolized industry is to lower prices.

Edit: I slightly misread the quoted text. I had assumed that “increasing competition” meant breaking up Canadian monopolies, not opening the floodgates to other markets. I’m really surprised that a party called “Canada future” is against protectionism. I still stand by my point here, but I see where you’re coming from.

Hopefully the fact that this was a national park that was affected will make the federal government start considering a federal wildfire fighting program.

How I read this poll: 55% of Canadians want a party to the political left of the Conservatives to win.

How our FPTP system reads this poll: 70% of ridings want the Conservatives to win.

Hopefully Charlie gets his sentence reduced for good-boy-haviour

Is that a lamb wearing a wool sweater? It’s cute, but that’s a bit like a human wearing a sweater made of human hair.

I don’t disagree with most of what you’ve said here, but in what way is Trudeau a “technocrat”? The main conservative critique of him before his election was that his previous work was as a teacher and that he was too young to lead the country. One of his big claims to fame has been appointing cabinet positions based on identity rather than aptitude. I don’t see how you could claim that he’s a “technocrat”. He’s a fairly run-of-the-mill politician.

If anything, Harper had a better claim to the title of “technocrat” since he had a background in economics, although he then went on to fill his cabinet with people who viewed the government as a stolen car in a chop-shop, so he wasn’t really a technocrat either.

What do you mean “backgrounds”? And what are the letters indicating?

Report it to whom?

I know years ago, there was interest in reporting/cleaning up suspiciously dead birds too. Not sure what the current direction on that is now.

What exactly makes a dead bird sus?

I’ve never been clear on what exactly the mitigation is for WNV. It’s not like you can prevent mosquitoes biting you. Often you don’t even know it’s happening. What exactly are you supposed to do?

The article says “don’t get bit” but thats basically impossible if you enjoy the outdoors, especially in more wooded areas like northern Ontario. You can’t just wear a full body bug net the whole time. I mean I guess you could but it’d be miserable.

It might be per unit population.

Is that classic Sanrio character Big Challenges?
