People are to focused on the plausibility on the seperation. Which would be nation ending levels of bad instead of what the general existence of the group does.

If we look at America, the true MAGA segment has never been anywhere close to the majority, but the 2 party voting system and the supposedly more sane right wing voters that are willing to vote with them has brought us the America of today.

This is similar with how Danielle Smith is trying to have directly influence the judicial system. She’s unlikely to succeed in this case but in a already flawed system like Trump she’ll eventually be able to slip things through then we end up with another completely comprised institution.

Losing avenues for accurate news is going to be very detrimental to society. And as someone who’s posted a lot of criticizing the state of news we’re only probably half way there.

Not sure if it needs to be said but that’s 14 years and 1 pipeline ago and we’re still having the same dialogue if not regressing to something even dumber like the Conservatives saying BC should make sacrifices for the good of the country.

Before it failed, a 2012 report from the University of British Columbia’s Fisheries Centre examined several economic futures if the pipeline were to be built.

In a world where no oil tanker spills occurred, Northern Gateway was estimated to provide B.C.’s coastal economy $628 million over 50 years.

But if a tanker ran aground in the Hecate Strait off Prince Rupert, the combined losses from a spill the size of the Exxon Valdez disaster could reach $308 million—erasing nearly half the benefits from the pipeline.

They use water for evaporative cooling in addition to closed loop systems.

This is the actual report:

This chart shows while the broad numbers is the same the underlying mechanisms of how the money gets there is different.

Ultimately I think people are taking a bit of time to substantially shift their investment portfolios/strategies. People generally tend to be a larthargic for this type of thing and taking some extra time to think of about how your life saving should would be considered prudent especially given the times. I imagine 2026 will look even more different and even when Trump’s out of the picture he’s most likely permanently pushed some money out of America.

Just going to point out this is a republished Post Media article.

It’s always kinda funny when I read this and other circumstances where people come together to more effectively do a thing and then people start to say we should expand them into programs to allowing strangers to the same.

Just a more fragmented form of socialism. Also amazing how modern conservative around the world have been able to vilify any degree of socialism as evil.

This stuff is as fake as the American Second Amendment being untouchable. Totally okay for them as long as it’s kids getting gunned down as soon as it becomes a threat to them it isn’t a thing.

And I do think people find literal Nazi’s very justifably threatening and turns out people on the left also has guns so I don’t think this will stick around even if they pass something for it.

Betteridge’s law of headlines is an adage that states: “Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no.”

Kinda crazy if you think from a Conservatives perspective.

You get to listen to 2.5hrs of how the last 10 years in Canada has been hell on earth due to the Liberals. Delivered by the guy who somehow lost one of the easiest election ever and extended your suffering.

Then the guy tell you to bring him back and the crowd applauds.

Will say given how things went down. Pierre and his supporters seemed to stack the deck for him to win.

Certainly seems more believablet that some MP’s were waiting to jump ship if Pierre came back.

We just spoke to Sebastian Skamski, Poilievre’s former spokesperson, for some initial reaction. He’s even more definitive than Outhouse that this sort of result will quiet the naysayers and put to bed the idea of any more MPs defecting to the Liberals .

… like he’s on a the campaign trail for PM

He could be depending what happens in the next few days with Pierre.

BC has improved their individual/doctor patient times, but the 6 Healthcare authorities leaves a lot to be desired in the context of efficiency.

I believe this is the paper that being referenced. Not sure since the article does not link or directly attribute the references beyond the author’s name.

Just to be straightforward with this quote you’d would be much better served as a human being to not fully believe any politician. But if we’re looking beyond just the rates and include the volume traded with America and the ambiguous nature of whatever “best deal” means than this isn’t really isn’t much to pick at.

“It’s quite wrong to conclude that Canada has the ‘best deal’ on trade with the U.S.,”

I’m also going to end with the Globe and Mail isn’t the neutral observer they portray themselves being.

Just to elaborate on 2 things. Even by language this is 100% clearly not tied to affordability but some trickle down nature of it.

Carney said he will direct $500 million from the government’s Strategic Response Fund to help food suppliers “expand capacity and increase productivity.”

It means food businesses looking to make capital investments to help strengthen their supply chains can apply to have some of those costs covered by the fund.

And to provide context for the 20m. It’s about $3921 per food bank.

Food Banks Canada is a national charitable organization representing the food bank community across Canada, supporting a network of 10 Provincial Associations and over 5,100 hunger relief organizations in Canada.

I just want to point out when someone says both sides is the same they’re likely a massive moron.

But when someone says both parties(Liberals & Conservatives) are the same, this stuff gives them a lot of credence. And yes Liberals is clearly more socially progressive or at least not regressive but it really doesn’t hold up when they do stuff like this.

Since it actually happens a fair bit. I’ll confirm that there is in fact a list in the article and it’s rather comprehensive with references.

And yes it’s a lot of Post Media.

Did anyone else read the article and find essentially zero mention of how union gains were made in Alberta. It essentially recaps how Smith got away with using the Notwithstanding clause then the pro’s of unions.

The only mention is pretty much a slightly reworded version of the title.

Despite these obstacles, organized labour continues to make important gains in Alberta, Canada’s most anti-union province. Our new report draws on Statistics Canada data to examine the economic impact of unionization in Alberta.

I was thinking he’d have at least a quiet week or two after the EU mostly called his bluff.

Our deal with China was barely dipping our toes in the water. If Trump doesn’t get anything substantial from Carney he’ll probably lose significant ability to try anymore power plays on larger countries for the rest of his term unless he actually starts invading more countries.

Domestically he’s starting to see some real pressure so he is desperate for a win.

Avi stated that Proportional Voting reform is his highest priority. Which is by far the most compelling thing I heard from him.

People should understand by now that Trump is some special flavour of insane, but if he kicked the bucket tomorrow the entire mechanism that gives him power will still exist.

If anything they might be less erratic and get their agenda pushed through quicker.
