It’s a clear cut example of dog whistling. Without literally saying it, she engaged with the conversation in a way that tells conspiracy theorists “the US DoD is chemtrailing us”

What makes cop shooting ranges so special that they can’t just pay to use public ones?

Fundamentally, the only people against this simply don’t believe in covid. You don’t see them crying on the internet about employers not letting people work on construction sites without hard hats - it’s basic safety. As long as you accept that covid is dangerous, then you have no issue with employers requiring a vaccination.

Ethical business? Wat? Our economy is propped up by a housing bubble and resource extraction

Singh had many reasonable opportunities to do this over the last few years, but finally pulls the rip cord when the Conservatives are polling way ahead? What the fuck? He’s such a useless piece of shit, why do the NDP keep him around

This is strictly untrue for many climates. Where I live in Canada, 0F is average winter day, 100F is record-breaking “I might actually die” levels of heat.

-30C to 30C is not any more complicated or less intuitive than -22F to 86F

A degree Celsius is not coarse and does not require decimals in weather reports, and I suspect only a person who has never lived in a Celsius-using country could make such silly claims.

It’s a (small, shitty) subset of markdown. Slack formatting just kind of sucks.

Probably because they were raised in the post-Soviet mafia era.

They compete on prices just like the grocery stores competed on bread prices

This is the same argument that my original comment is against. You just labelled the Liberal + NDP bucket as “left”.

If we had a ranked ballot (I don’t actually want ranked ballot, but it’s useful for demonstrating my point), I would rank NDP as 1 and not rank Liberals or CPC because I don’t like either of them. Just because the Liberals are left of the CPC does not make them “left”, and does not magically earn them every NDP vote.

Likewise, I’m sure there are Liberal voters who would rather have CPC than NDP.

There is no collective “left” of all NDP + Liberal voters.

That’s probably true for NDP voters (i.e. they’d rather have a Liberal government than CPC), but I don’t think it’s true that Liberal voters would rather have NDP than Conservative.

We’re both just speculating though, there’s probably some actual info on this from people studying ranked ballots

I hate this mentality of bucketing Liberals and NDP together. They’re different parties with different policies, and one of the main benefits of PR is that leftists don’t have to compromise our values and vote Liberal just to prevent Conservatives from winning. Treating it like left vs right just pushes us towards the Democrat vs Republican in the US.

You’ll never see a doctor on the island, it’s one of the many reasons we left

PP is the only option that is worse than Trudeau. Good thing there are other choices

I agree with defending Ukraine but isn’t the point of “never again” is to not have another war?

China just lies about every metric they report. GDP, emissions, poverty, etc.

Putting us in 2nd is like 9/10 dentists

CERB wasn’t UBI

I have no doubt there’s a good chunk of crazies, but we had NDP signs up last election and our neighbour had UCP signs up, but they’re still incredibly nice to us.
