If you believe this to be true

1. Go to this House of Commons website
2. Enter your postal code in the form.
3. Email your MP and tell them you will only vote for a party that promises some form of proportional representation after the next election.

I am actually furious at Rosemary Barton for not pushing back at the frankly astonishing rhetoric we are getting from Gordon Sondland.

Generally, it's hard for journalists to hit the right balance between overt skepticism and letting the subject talk. That's doubly true for the CBC, which is fighting with a perception of bias.

This doesn't seem like one of those cases, however.

I have a lot of nostalgia for the Bay. But shipping there sucks: it took forever to find an attendant, staff ignored customers, and selection was sparse. There may be good reasons for that, but it was alienating to customers.

On top of that:

She said customers likely noticed the lack of investment by Hudson’s Bay into its physical stores, where it wasn’t uncommon to find non-functioning escalators that went unrepaired for long periods of time. Amlani also pointed to several stores in the Vancouver area that temporarily closed last summer related to problems with air-conditioning systems.

She said another problem the company ran into in recent years was that its stores’ hours didn’t always align with that of the malls where they are located.

It's shitty that 10k people will probably lose their jobs because the company was so poorly managed.

Poilievre's attacks on the carbon tax were also misleading, but they resonated with potential voters and stuck. Ditto for the weird hE's JuSt DoInG iT fOr ThE pEnSiOn allegations about Jagmeet Singh.

There's no guarantee that these won't stick as well.

This isn't so much "funny haha" as "funny boohoo".

That's missing from Lemmy. 😞

Used Thinkpads get a lot of positive press. You're right to look into that.

In case anyone else is wondering about boosters:

"Re-immunization with measles-containing vaccine after age and risk appropriate vaccination is not necessary."

The 2000s were great

In my experience, it doesn't need to be on-campus. Just getting to know other students and working/studying with them is enough.

I really like ranked ballots, since they map to MPs. Party lists feel gross, because they're controlled by internal party machinations.

But either would be an improvement over what we have now.

Me: does nothing

Evolution: fuck you

That sucks!

FWIW I get knee pain when I don't stretch. I'm not saying that's what is happening with you, but maybe physio or stretching would help?

Yes. That's what makes them superb.

Is swimming an option?

That's surprisingly wholesome. Thanks for answering.

is that Stockholm syndrome?

It's a bargaining chip against the US: the more trade Canada has with the rest of the world, the less reliant we are on them. It would also shrink the market for US vehicles. Saying we'll keep the tariff is an easy concession to give in the trade war.
