I saw a post on Reddit about a person in their early thirties who had done everything "right" but was being evicted so their landlord could raise the rent. They couldn't find a place in their community that they could afford.
This is the world that kids are entering: it's hard to find a decent job; and unless you have family money, you'll spend most of your income on rent.
It's totally understandable they want to kick the incumbents out. And it's fucking depressing that there's no progressive politician in Canada presenting a viable alternative.
Your original comment states that Poilievre wants more gun violence.
You've made an assertion about his personal goals - supporting that requires information about him: either stuff he has said or reliable second hand reports of what he has said.
Storage and indexing is cheap. From a usability perspective indexing makes sense: call centre staff can tell someone why their unemployment application has been denied/delayed etc.
From a security perspective, Google, Proton, and friends want to track failed login IPs so they can assign (internal) reputation scores to incoming requests.
A Prime Minister might be considered to have more power than an American president because they control government’s legislative arm (the House of Commons). But that legislative body can also choose to eject the Prime Minister at any moment, whereas a President has four years of almost guaranteed power.
That would be a vote of non-confidence right? That can only happen when Parliament is sitting, and (AFAIU) the PM can prorogue Parliament at any time (with the rubber stamp of the Governor General). It looks like Parliament must sit once every 12 months, but I'm not clear if random motions can be presented during those sittings.
I dislike Poilievre as much as the next Lemmite, but do you have evidence of that?
He's clearly a prick whose party has done really well by catering to the concerns of some rural gun owners. It's pretty easy to say this is a continuation of established CPC fundraising and get-out-the-vote activities.
It's possible he wants to increase gun violence, but that's a pretty strong allegation. Why? What is your evidence?
Libs and Cons need to stop playing wedge politics and do their duty to grounded, evidence based legislation
This is the key problem.
Canadian parties don't come up with broad, well considered policies to solve a problem. Instead, they have a portfolio of individual policies designed to attract different demographics at election time.
The first trend involves what Kempton called "inauthentic and co-ordinated" amplification of content related to the Hong Kong bounty and an arrest warrant against Tay, as well as material about his competence to hold political office.
Federal officials told a media briefing Monday the operation is taking place on social media platforms where Chinese-speaking users in Canada are active, including Facebook, WeChat, TikTok, RedNote and Douyin, a sister app of TikTok for the Chinese market.
"We've seen that multiple accounts or platforms published or interacted with content at similar times and dates, sometimes within minutes or even seconds of each other," Kempton said.
One person makes a proposal. The other either says it's okay, or makes a counter-proposal. Revisit after a month or two, and adjust as necessary.
It's like the other parts of a relationship: identify problems, seek agreement, make suggestions, back off when necessary, check to see if changes have improved anything.
fixation on trivialities about a client's appearance or something funny he did instead of getting directly to the point
I see this a lot on political comments on Lemmy and Reddit. People call politicians they don't like weird pet names and insult their appearance. It's like they've been classified as "other" so the normal rules don't apply.
There's value in referring to everyone respectfully. It's easy to throw clients into the out group because they're relatively transient. Don't. Have empathy. Focus on what you have in common and shared goals.
What happened between the Rebel asshats and guy from the Hill Times? The first set of reporting I saw said that was the reason the scrum had been cancelled.
Ricochet links to a podcast. It'd be nice to be able to read it.
Yeah. And tax reform is far outside the political mainstream at the moment. So we're stuck with bandaids (GST rebates, zoning changes, etc) when we need serious reform.
Don't get me wrong: all those lil things are nice, as is building homes, but they aren't going to add up to a serious improvement in the next few decades. If ever.
It doesn't have to. But the CPC and LPC are setting low targets for production, so we shouldn't expect many units to be built. On top of that, neither are suggesting tax changes to discourage the financialization of housing.
So it'll take a long time to get out, because there's little political will to change the current system.
Where did you see the thing about quality? All I found was:
They also had to overcome the “zeitgeist around prefabrication in Canada” which assumes factory builds are poor quality, Chicoine said.
That’s no longer based in reality; some studies have argued prefab projects can catch potential defects during the design phase, yielding higher-quality builds.
