Mom angry daughter wait-listed for only high school in Nelson, B.C.CBC posted:A Nelson, B.C., mother is livid her 14-year-old daughter is on a wait-list for the only high school in the city, while about 50 international students are attending L.V. Rogers Secondary this year. This ticks all the boxes. Best place on Earth, oops I forgot to register my homeschooled angel for school in time, high schools in bumfuck BC apparently milking international students for $12k/year, something I naively thought was the business of overrated undergrad programs... beautiful.

My gp works 4 days a week because he spends the fifth teaching student doctors. Sometimes he's gone for a month because hes volunteering for MSF. Somehow we get by in this travesty.

Well healthcare would be covered by transfer payments, so they have that. However, good luck funding the rest of your services with a population of under a million with below average wages.

They should take a page from the Virginias and Irelands and call it Northern Ontario just to make it really confusing. "Where do you live?" "I live in norther-- uh, north Ontario." "Northern Ontario?" "No, the north of regular Ontario, but very close to Northern Ontario."

So I guess the NDP leadership is starting to reconsider the wisdom of delaying the leadership race for so long after Mulcair's embarrassing defeat at the last convention. I still can't think of any reason -- other than stubborn and wounded pride -- why Mulcair didn't resign immediately after the convention (honestly, I was surprised he didn't resign the night of the election and was actually arrogant enough to run for a review at all). quote:Tom Mulcair unlikely to return to parliament as NDP leader after low profile during summer

The energy policy mismanagement goes back to before Wynne or the Liberals were in office. For some reason this message is always interpreted as somehow shifting blame to Harris, but it's the truth. Unless a political party comes along that is willing to repudiate the last 20+ years of energy policy (and so far none of the three major parties are offering to do that) then there's no reason to assume things will get significantly better. Blaming Wynne is like blaming Pillsbury Doughboy for making you fat. She's just the latest mascot fronting for the terrible decisions our society made in the last couple decades when we started drinking the market fundamentalist cool-aid in the 1990s. The whole point of a public utility wasn't just to generate money for the province, it was to allow the government to keep power costs low as a cost saving to both consumers and industry. We used to be able to complete much more effectively with low-wage manufacturing in other countries by virtue of having unusually cheap energy. We also used to have a forward looking government that was building lots of nuclear power, and while some of those big investments were arguably too grandiose and pushed up costs, it's hard in retrospect not to conclude that the bad old days of government managed electrical policy were a hell of a lot better than the mismash of deregulation and privatization that successive waves of Conservatives and Liberals have unleashed upon us.

They've had a long time to at least start addressing the situation and instead have made it objectively worse. They might not be the first but that's cold comfort. It's been subsidization and investment into energy alternatives despite a power surplus, often against recommendations by studies that they commissioned in the first place. I'm not really expecting anything other than a bandaid to keep them relevant in 2018 anyway but energy policy is something I'm going to be looking at closely in the election. quote:We also used to have a forward looking government that was building lots of nuclear power, and while some of those big investments were arguably too grandiose and pushed up costs, it's hard in retrospect not to conclude that the bad old days of government managed electrical policy were a hell of a lot better than the mismash of deregulation and privatization that successive waves of Conservatives and Liberals have unleashed upon us. I don't disagree with any of that. I'd be interested in your thoughts on the insurance industry in Ontario sometime too.

The Strategists. They're Alberta-based so a lot of their episodes have a heavy Alberta-focused but they also cover federal politics. Last episode was a deep-dive into the Alberta PCs' new leadership rules.

Who'd have thought our super pretty woke prime minister would concern troll about whether the provinces should raise their minimum wages? Watch the interview with Neil Piercy -- CBC didn't think it was worth the time to add the discussion about minwage to the synopsis. In particular take the time to appreciate his sick burn after PMcutie immediately dismisses the minimum wage to talk about creating growth and opportunities -- "but in the meantime I'll be starving and maybe living in the streets by the time I'm 65." ~gently caress the liberals~ its perfectly fine guys we don't have to do anything to help the needy in any way we just need to kneel and grovel in front of international capital until suddenly high paying jobs everywhere
