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


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.


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


Arena started it all, with the entirety of Tamriel generated for you to explore freely. Daggerfall moved that into a smaller region with political intrigue and a detailed character system. Morrowind took it to new exotic lands and introduced the series to both consoles and the world of modding and creators. Oblivion brought us to the heart of the Empire, realms beyond, and all new gameplay mechanics. Skyrim let you do battle with dragons in Tamriel’s harsh northern province.

Reading this paragraph kind of highlights when they stopped innovating


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.




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.


Alberta is honestly super nice. Winters aren’t that bad once you have the right clothing for them, and summers are beautiful. Sun year round, which is what I love compared to BC. Nature here is equally as good as BC.

The only thing you have to consider is politics. However, despite hating the current government here, I am still much happier compared to BC (since I can actually afford a house)


Canada is in a uniquely good position for nuclear, we have a massive domestic supply of uranium and a lot of geographically safe areas to build power plants, plus good access to water for cooling.
