since all media in this country is controlled by either the libs, the telecoms, or foreign investment groups, (or it's The Tyee) all i can say is that if canada did have a free press it would be worth defending

This is a crucial financial incentive to use them. I'll take "things that should be illegal" for nothing whatsoever Alex, because the question is "  WHO HAS THE RIGHT TO WORK"

they're not completely meaningless, they're just also not useful for seat projections unless you have fairly granular regional polls, and even then it's probably hubris to try and divine anything more than broad voter sentiment. of course that doesn't stop grenier et al. from performing digital haruspicy

Jan posted:raw polling numbers are meaningless with fptp this is my point, polls suck for modelling seat projections, but when a party is polling at <1.5% with a 3% pp moe then it's a good chance that they are irrelevant completely if anything all bernier succeeded at is pulling the party he quit further right

the winnipeg free press did a manitoba federal seat primer this morning. the liberal strategists they talked to are gunning for the brandon-souris seat and both ndp seats in the north(including ndp superstar niki ashton) meanwhile the conservatives are convinced they can flip all of winnipeg.

my point with the above is the liberals are going to waste an election cycle assuming all their seats are safe and attacking ndp seats while the conservatives are going to pull the rug out from underneath them

I had just moved in my riding when the Ontario election campaign started. Although we were successful reaching out to suburban voters and the Muslim community, we failed to engage with the substantial Asian community. I even remember some saying we shouldn't waste time, but my own experience during foot canvass was that Asian residents responded very well to items in the NDP platform. They'd lit up when talking about community and doing things better. Good stuff in that article. I'm sharing it

The Liberals are loving idiots if this is their strategy. The North is pissed off at the Liberals because of all of their double-talk on Indigenous rights. Brandon-Souris is one of the most conservative ridings in the entire country (partly due to where the riding boundaries are drawn and rural/"urban" poo poo... but still). There was a time in the 90s when it was one of 3 PC seats in the entire country. Merv Tweed didn't even bother to campaign and he won like 3 straight elections.

EvidenceBasedQuack posted:Related, the Star did an undercover investigation on temp agency work where those deaths occurred: I'd read this when it originally was published and was rereading it today, when I noticed this little excerpt: quote:This month, new legislation aimed at protecting precarious workers will go to second reading at Queen’s Park. Labour advocates have been fighting for some of the proposed changes — including a higher minimum wage and paid sick days for all workers — for years. It hadn't parsed until then that the bill that the OPC has gutted is what might've marginally improved these workers' conditions. gently caress Doug Ford. gently caress all the suburbanite trash who voted him in. gently caress the entire OPC. The whole lot of them should be forced to work one a month at one of those minimum wage jobs and backbreaking conditions they are supporting in order to be ~open for business~.

If all the people making minimum wage bothered turning up to vote, Doug Ford wouldn't be in power. Maybe they'll turn out next tim-ahahah who am I kidding.

Not because of anything he's actually done, but because they've bought his for the people/against the elites bullshit hook line and sinker. I had a conversation with a cab driver yesterday in which they informed me that Rob Ford was the best mayor the city ever had, because of some complete bullshit that never happened, he was sabotaged and pushed out by the elites at city hall, and also it's great that his brother Doug is now premier. This was not the first time I've heard something like this.
