No, it would be an ecological and humanitarian disaster.

While Alberta’s ecosystem is barely hanging on thanks to decades of de-facto oil industry government. BCs is struggling from climate change.

Then you have to thank Pierre Pollievre and Harper for the pipeline route that passes through at least one municipal watershed.

But not Nestle’s watershed. They changed the route for Nestle.



Other parties dont send robocalls pretending to be other parties.

But the CPC does.

Other parties dont gut the oversight board and replace it with industry lobbyists, but the CPC does.

Other parties dont steal from the G7 security budget when its in Canada, but the CPC does.

Other parties dont sell off critical infrastructure like Coast guard facilities or harbour control facilities, but rhe CPC does.



It has to do with scale.

PP is exponentially worse than Trudeau and Jasmeet. Yes, neither of those two silver spoon assed motherfuckers worked a day in their life for where they are and combined can’t lead their way out of a wet paper bag, but I’ll take them over the mentally ill religious zealot.


Singh never had a prime.

Dude moved himself into one of the safest NDP ridings in the country and still almost lost it.


Don’t forget increased intentionally fucking over BC.

• Harper and PPs complete capitulation on the softwood lumber agreement to the US, multiple times decimated rural BC.

• They moved harbour control for the 2nd busiest port on the west coast of the Americas, out of Vancouver and have them remotely operating out of Comox.

• They illegally forced the TMX expansion pipeline through, and overrode concerns of the city of Hope that the new line runs over their watershed and they ignored native issues with the pipeline. Note that it doesn’t run over Nestles well. They moved the line for fucking Nestle, not a city of people though.

• They shut down the coast guard facility for the Vancouver harbor and forced them to operate out of Richmond. So in the recent issue of a boat running into a seaplane, where the coast guard took under 10 minutes to respond, if Trudeau had not repurchased and opened the facility, their response time would have been in the range of 40 minutes to an hour.

Not to mention a return to “balancing” the budget by selling off assets to developer friends and scandals like taking the G8 security budget and using it for graft and bribery in your own ridings.



My non-legal reading puts BC Hydro’s latest natrual gas ad at odds with it.

They not only call it “not a fossil fuel” but also claim its a “renewable resource.”


It could be that its success was internally attributed to a different team someone in the hierarchy favoured.


My Oma was in the Netherlands in the 1930s. Her family sheltered part of a jewish family(the elderly mother who was too sick to escape to North America, and one of her sons, a lawyer, who stayed behind to care for her.) This was before the invasion and the start of the war.

At the time, late 1930s, she said that everyone knew something bad was happening to the Jewish people the Nazis rounded up, but not what.

After more than a year of occupation, they were turned in by a neighbor for extra rations because none of her family needed daily visits from a doctor. The Nazis took the two Jewish people and her Dad into a camp.

A local factory owner, some months on, tried to have everyone from the area released in return for his compliance in letting them use his factory output. Her dad was among those released, but they refused to release any Jewish prisoners. Her parents then immediately joined the resistance and helped it out until the end of the war. The factory owner allegedly ensured that the output to the Nazis was changed to be only subtly defective units, pipe walls too thin, cooled too quickly etc.


There is a reason she forged the Green Party into a federal Party. She’s an actual leader. Unlike all of the other clowns and the nazi on the federal leadership stage.

Of course, the subsequent leader then used the party as her own damn piggy bank and had the balls to hide behind “discrimination” when caught.


Im not saying use Edge or Bing.
I use firefox and admittedly Bing and DDG.

Im in the same boat as you, when 10 goes, Im going to go back to(see Vista Era) linux as much as possible.


That gap has flipped. Bing never told me to put glue on pizza or to jump off a bridge if depressed.


Why would anyone in 2024 honestly switch to google products.

They are worse than microsoft, and that takes effort.



Fdroid app store has a lot of frankly amazing indie games.

Pirate freecell Solitaire. is fantastic.

Also, Warframe has an iOS version(not a port), is working on an android version, and its now fully crossplay compatible.


Exactly.

Edit: Although, to be honest they probably are working on increased security now.


  1. Absolutely understand it. Theyre more expensive than Whole Foods now.
  2. May 12th is definitely not the day to steal from them.

No, not always. I know of a very major firm that uses google suite for everything but chat and video calls. They use MS Teams because its just that much better than google’s alternative. From the chats Ive had, the issue with Slack there is that someone high up in their IT stack hates it.


If nothing else, there is space for a competitor to MS teams in the corporate space.

Everyone else is ending up on teams, but no one actually likes it.


The only other chapters are on the east coast, have no desire or ability to contact each other. Hell, the west coast group don’t even know the east coast chapters survived, let alone thrived because they seized project purity. And while they made the trek before, the middle of the US after that became Caesar’s Legion, 15 years after his fall it would be an impassable wasteland.

The east coast chapters were strong enough in DC to send out squads to Boston, but never anything more than a recon. Its even Bethesda lore in fallout 4 that they dont have the resources to move the Prydwin back to DC.

The NCR can make prewar tanks, power armor and vertibirds; they have a GECK.

Edit: to be clear: the only ending the western brotherhood of steel has to survive is to be absorbed into the NCR.


That makes it worse.

The western Brotherhood of Steel, at the start of new Vegas, is reduced to One Chapter holed up in One tiny bunker with no vertibirds, no supplies, no manufacturing. They have to send lone scavengers out in the cover of night just to steal enough food to survive.

The battle of Helios One ended the brotherhood as a major player in any capacity. They threw everything they had at the NCR and lost badly.


I know what they are.

Trick is it directly counteracts the games. In the year the show happens is the same year new vegas happens. This is after the brotherhood was reduced to cowering in a hidden bunker with zero force projection capability.

The show is great, but its Bethesda fallout, not Fallout.


Its a great show and Im enjoying it despite the massive, glaring world consistency issues.
Like what the hell happened to the NCR?

Or, you know, the lore of all of the games outside of Fallout 3 and 4.

Its painfully clear that Todd is salty that the worst two games in the fallout series are 3 and 4. So he’s erasing the pre bethesda games and the best game(that respects the original lore), New Vegas.


It surely has nothing to do with the politics of the government in charge.

Given that under the BC Liberals/United we maintained a $5-15 billion deficit every year and it was never an issue.

All of a sudden in an election year when the BC Liberals/United are a distant 3rd place too.


It’s not lack of housing.

It’s a combination of housing investors and hoarding.

Real Estate companies are just sitting on stock they can’t sell at sky high prices. Now they have entered the landlord game and are using stock they can’t sell as rental stock, but forcing insane rents. Like 3000 dollars a month for a shit one bedroom out in the suburbs shit.

Entire apartment high rises being sold overseas to foreign investors who don’t even have PR status.

The problem can easily be solved, but it requires taking down the rich.
