  • I watched a video about how many progressive movements was at one point lofty dreams before they became reality which somewhat swayed my belief in how things can be campaigned politically.

    In itself I do there’s space for this, but it seems like it’s shoving things that’ll more conducive on getting movement on the issue like voting reform to the side. Or in your analogy a lot of the people in Canada want the patient dead and the current system caters to them, so having these theoretical discussions about how we could keep them alive doesn’t change that. We either need to change those people beliefs or change the way politics work.




  • Such a rare take these days.

    Bauer said the whole system is “struggling.”

    “I pay a lot of taxes and I want the transit to be good,” he said. “As a growing city, we really need to be doing better when it comes to our transit, especially with people being called back to work.”

    The right wing take of taxation is theft is mediocre but the left has also become really bad at this as well.

    Like the recent with Canada Post here. Even in a casual setting where no one is vying for populist votes there’s still no room to scrutinize the current day operations and reassess whether those resources would be better reallocated.









  • This quote:

    Now, the Cowichan Tribes have publicly stated that private owners cannot sell their properties without Cowichan consent,[15] and lenders are refusing to renew mortgages because the collateral is now legally defective.

    With this foot note:

    [15] https://www.conservative.ca/canada-must-defend-property-rights/

    “The lead lawyer for the Cowichan Tribes has already stated that private land sales would need the consent of the Cowichan before they could go ahead.

    I could only find this in writing.

    Vancouver Sun article

    He meant if owners of those lands attempted to sell to anyone else. The transaction would need the consent of the Cowichan before it could go ahead, Rosenberg told CKNW host Jas Johal recently.

    “I fully anticipate that the seller or vendor will get what they are bargaining for, and the purchaser would also get what they are bargaining for,” said Rosenberg.

    “But it would be with the consent of the Cowichan Nation and it would be with some accommodation from the Crown (government) to the Cowichan Nation.”

    That is a big change already. No wonder Sharma has been expediting work on the appeal.

    I then found this clip for the interview and I’m going have to say getting information from the Conservative.ca is already questionable but the way the author framed it is even worse.

    Here’s the clip for people who want to hear the entire context of it.

    2m21s length.

  • This format isnt very popular these days. Most people actually reading these type of article is going to be presented with information they’ve seen quite a few times. Now with links and tool tips it really isn’t a lot of reason to rehash things to this extent.

    I do see why they would put in a magazine.
