Vote Republican to allow Trump to raise the price of eggs, fire you from your job, take away your retirement and deport your spouse to El Salvador!

Time to verb the noun, bb

(The Liberals and The Conservatives and the NDP are Proposing Terrible Tax Cuts)

Hold that thought in your heart, then organize after the election with other people that have that same thought. Go to your MP and have them introduce private member’s bills to get the change you want to see. Send petitions to the new government. Volunteer in your community or work in areas you want to see change.

If that doesn’t work, bring forward change in our political system ahead of the next election, not when we have to pull away from the brink of fascism.

The Canada Housing Accelerator Credit is already the federal level incentive for density-favoured zoning. Zoning is handled by the provinces who can override municipalities, but the feds can’t override provinces re: housing. Poilievre’s platform is to revoke payments to provinces as punishment for not meeting housing quotas, but this is only going to get provinces more in debt and the budget crunch will only make building housing more difficult.

We need at least 1 million new homes a year

So a crown corporation building homes to get construction to half that level is good. And provinces can bolster that with appropriate zoning changes to spur provincial, municipal public and private development to get to that million target. Sitting back and complaining about the whole plan because it’s not the silver bullet isn’t helpful here.

The one thing that has me optimistic about Carney is that as an outsider to politics up until recently, he is more likely than most politicians to have an ear open for people’s concerns.

So after the election, keep up the pressure to bring grassroots messages to our government, and real change could conceivably happen. Including electoral reform.

Don’t worry about that, you’re already banned from Poilievre’s campaign bus.

Shit we’re back in horserace polling territory again…

There’s enough to share. And don’t forget that American researchers have family and extended family. Some consider the advantage of being able to drive back and visit once in a while vs. needing to fly every time.

It’s happening to everybody now, more often, whether its the El Salvador deportation cases or the tourists. But the reporting on the cases receiving special attention (not primarily because they’re white, it’s because they have external connections that can connect to anglo national media), many have chosen to highlight the suffering that they witnessed of people equally as innocent but have been stuck in limbo for far longer than they have.

If plaintiffs can manage to get this private sale of x to xAI proven in court as intended to hamper this suit, could the judge then proceed to pierce the corporate veil on Musk for his malicious actions?

Have you said thank you even once?? -Vance

Regarding your confusion and surprise, the person you replied to merely gave their reason why they bought it and supported a transphobe, and it was because this person’s sister requested that game specifically.

I know the question posed was mostly rhetorical in nature. But I’m not sure why you are questioning why someone is answering the question, and I’m not sure what kind of satisfactory answer you could get from anyone who had purchased the game (and supported a transphobe, yes, which I haven’t).

The rest of your comment is a legit response, but I’m only pushing back on the first sentence of your reply. Or even moving that sentence to the back of your comment to make it less charged. If someone’s going to answer a loaded question, let them, but get to the point about how misguided they are with their justification before you question the answer. That would likely make for a more constructive discussion. Unless you think that these answers are unhelpful in the first place, that we’re better off not hearing why people have done transphobic things with different intentions, and we should refuse to give them space to reflect, learn, then own up to their transgressions if they don’t come right out of the gate to apologize. Then sure, ignore what I said.

double post?

If you want the source of any future “technical glitches”, it’s this wilfully negligent act. Courts, take note.

I was a little worried that Carney issued the ultimatum that he would not talk unless Trump treats Canada with respect during negotiations, but then he talked. So I’m glad there’s a pronounced change in Trump’s rhetoric towards Canada, which means Carney wasn’t backing down for nothing.

“Just a little while ago, before I got involved and totally changed the election — which I don’t care about … the Conservative was leading,” he said last Friday.

Damn I can’t stop going to the 22 minutes skit where Trump is totally not jealous of Carney – every statement he makes has vindicated that.

Pierrot Poilievre 🤡: Just Not Ready to govern.

And is he still shying away from public media on his tour planes and buses?
