  • In proportional representation, who do I call when I have a local issue that is in a federal responsibility?

    If you propose a mixed system, most are local MP with a few extra spread out amongst the other parties, what ridings do they represent?

    There is no perfect system, but within a representative democracy where the regional concerns are diverse, unlike most European countries, Canada is the physical size of Europe, proportional representation will always over represent the needs of dense parts of the country.

    Government doesnt think bouncers need training

    When I was still going to bars late at night, I never had much trouble with drunks and fights. I do remember being hassled by bouncers, shoved down stairs, and having to break up a fight the bouncer started and getting banned for my trouble.

    Pedestrian has serious injuries after hit by car on Barrington St

    I really hate the various headlines that new stations used to describe how a driver strikes a pedestrian, but this one isn't too bad.

    Invading Canada Is Not Advisable
  • There are way too many people talking about hypotheticals and trying to do "logical" thinking why attacking allies is a bad idea.

    The powers in the USA are NOT LOGICAL. They are cutting social systems, they are tanking their stock market, causing irreparable harm to their economy, and military industrial system.

    Talking about it like its "logical", and coming from the USA where their media, the people that are supposed to know what's going on and communicating it to the USA public is idiotic. They don't even have the common curtesy to make sure that they have the corret titles and honorifics when talking to our leaders.

    Fuck them all.

  • America Has a Rogue President
  • dudes, you voted him in TWICE!!!! He’s not rogue, he’s what you wanted. You just didn’t think it would affect you.

    This is on every person that voted for him, single issued voted or abstained from voting.

    Fuck you all

  • Why do males complain about female-led stories or too many female characters when the majority are still dominated by males?
  • Because they are assholes.

    Because they are so privileged they REALLY believe that they should see themselves in all stories.

    Because they were taught from a young age that empathy is not manly.

    Because, at the end of the day they were failed by their parents and society as a whole.

  • Jagmeet Singh Has Failed
  • That’s a fundamental misunderstanding to how representative government works. I know my MLA, and I agree how they will represent me in the Legislature. I also align well with the provincial NDP leader.

    I don’t align at all with Jagmeet at this time. He has not shown that he is willing to do what’s best for Canadians. He had an opportunity to work WITH the Trudeau government and force through NDP platform. Instead he attacks the Trudeau government and on social media media sounds a lot like PP

  • Jagmeet Singh Has Failed
  • I haven’t watch this video yet, but here’s the thing. When all my local NDP reps (federal and provincial) started only talking in the central NDP talking points and even talking about the “leader”, Mulcair and then to an expanded level with Jagmeet, I checked out.

    I will still likely vote NDP for the provincially our representative is pretty great, but federally the Liberals would have to nominate a brain dead 25yo white tech bro for me to vote NDP, and that’s WITH a strong NDP candidate.

  • Looking for some DTC meat options in HRM

    Years ago we would buy a side of pork or quarter of beef from a couple farms in the valley.

    Recently we tried to go back to them but they aren’t available.

    Does anyone have leads on farms that still do this? I don’t much processing, or fancy vacuum packaging, etc.

    Minimal cuts so I can prepare it myself for steak, roast, chops, bacon, etc.

    Who do you use for hosting in Canada?
  • I’ve used websavers.ca - https://clients.websavers.ca/whmcs/aff.php?aff=65 (affiliate code) shared hosting for over 10y.

    I’ve been with them for 10y. I have OVH a try for a new project and it was a bad experience from the start. They cancelled my order and then wouldn’t tell me why.

    I decided to pay the bit extra and just get a VPS server from websavers instead.

    These guys are Nova Scotia based with their servers in Montreal.
