You see, Johnny Carson was charismatic, whereas Kellie Leitch is not.

Kelly Leitch is straight-up anti-charismatic. You don't even think a sort of neutral "she's a boring person..." sort of thought, as one might think about Hillary Clinton or John Kerry, so much as you think "oh my god that woman is incredibly repulsive and weird, is there something medically wrong with her? A person shouldn't behave that way..."

BC Liberals announce $30 million in road improvements for Maple Ridge/Pitt Meadows. All driver safety improvements nothing for anyone else even though it's one of the most dangerous areas for pedestrians/cyclists. Families first.

The other reason being how could the judge not realize saying some poo poo like "drunks can consent" in these SJW days wouldn't lead to backlash and his inevitable suspension or firing. I do think the whole drunk (not passed out or incoherent) people can never consent thing as pretty ridiculous.Some drunks CAN consent, maybe even most drunks. Is my wife a rapist for any of the times she came onto me when I was drinking heavily that night and she abstained? Now, this stuff ever happening outside of a commitment relationship is asking for trouble and there is too much chance of abuse, but in a real relationship..... commone.

All driver safety improvements nothing for anyone else even though it's one of the most dangerous areas for pedestrians/cyclists. Families first. One of the most interesting things I learned in urban planning is that narrower road crossings can actually make traffic move faster. In the image below, although the road is wide with ample lane space for vehicles, the length of time drivers would have to stop at the intersection to wait for pedestrians to cross is considerably longer because of the distance that a pedestrian would have to travel to get from curb to curb: In the following image, curb extensions, wide sidewalks and narrow lanes considerably narrow the available space for vehicles, but also allow pedestrians to remain in the intersection for less time than the above example. This allows for faster light cycles, which means less time sitting in traffic, more cars moving through the intersection, and safer pedestrians: Doubt that any of that will be part of the road improvements though.

What utopia do you live in where cars actually wait until pedestrians are fully across the road before ripping through the intersection?

Now now this is no place for taking the middle ground and pointing out that while that judge was a loving moron because a passed out pissed her pants drunk is in no way capable of consent, sometimes people get intoxicated and have sex and even wake up the next morning to regret it without it being rape and that the assumption that in the case of two people becoming intoxicated and then having sex, it's the male who's by default a rapist is as loving stupid as the Duluth model.

While "passed out and pissed her pants" is obviously beyond any reasonable line for the ability to consent, the case does illustrate the challenges in getting a conviction for that kind of assault. There needs to be a line beyond which a person goes from "drunk but consenting" to "too drunk to consent" - but that line needs to be perfectly clear not only to the judge but also to the perpetrator. If the perpetrator couldn't reasonably have been able to tell whether the victim was over the line, then it becomes impossible to prove mens rea. That is, to prove that they are guilty, you would have to prove that they knew she was too drunk as opposed to just drunk. If they were drunk themselves, that complicates things even more (though in this case, the cabbie was totally sober). In this case, the crown was unable to prove that any sexual contact happened while she was passed out, which the judge took to mean that it was possible that she was consenting but that the perpetrator stopped when she passed out, even though the circumstantial evidence makes it pretty clear that he only stopped and tried to cover it up when the police rolled up. Based on the judge's statements, he seemed to think that it was very likely assault but that the prosecution had failed to argue their case correctly and prove the things they needed to prove. That is an unfortunate reality - sometimes LEOs gently caress up, sometimes prosecutors gently caress up, and when they do, guilty people get off.

I know cynicism is the rule of the day and all, but it was such a major campaign plank and hearing over and over again "this will be the last election under FPTP", it really was hard to believe they would just walk away from it. All the little poo poo in a campaign platform you expect to get nerfed or ignored, but you generally expect the party to at least go through with their flagship poo poo. Be real interesting to see if it ends up biting them in the rear end or not. Next election is still a long way off, lotta time for starry eyed Lib voters to forgive and forget. (Mostly forget.)

Looking back on the election in retrospect the Liberal's majority seems completely unsurprising. They are the 'natural governing party' and they were facing a divisive and widely loathed 9 year incumbent. But at the time the Liberals developed their platform they were more concerned about finishing third than they were about winning and basically no one was anticipating a majority government for any party. People are too quick to forget that after Trudeau clinched his party's nomination and surged in the polls he stumbled through a series of gently caress ups that knocked him back down to third place. The Liberals didn't think they were outlining a majority mandate when they made all those huge promises that they've subsequently broken or moved very slowly on.

It seemed like there was a lot of focus on here about the issue, but no one I knew IRL gave a poo poo about electoral reform. I had 100% faith that the Libs wouldn't make a chance to the system, because why would they? They stand to benefit from keeping the system as is, since they are part of the 2 major parties that have had tons of success over the past 50 years getting majorities with a minority of votes. Did you guys really think the ruling party would give up power?
