dammit I hate it when people at work talk politics or who they voted for because I have to work with them and I don't want their dumb views annoying the poo poo out of me.

sure vote for the social conservative parachute candidate because you want to vote for the party which also sucks and will roll back environmental protection and a host of other things for no clearly defined reasons other than "they won't waste my taxes" lol

if the ndp does enough to prevent the libs or the cons from gaining a plurality, that is a win

polling currently has him at almost exactly the level the NDP won in 2015, considering they were languishing near single digits for most of the last four years the party would probably consider that a win and keep him around

government sent me a voter card for my current name and my old name. I'm not going to vote twice but I hope stuff like this doesn't contribute to voter turnout stats, lol.

The election after I transitioned and changed my name the poor guy at the voting station was very confused and thought I was the wife of my old name who had moved in with him and was trying to vote in his riding. I did my best to explain it because I'm open about my gender status but I guess that confusion is why this is happening.

They keep doing this to me too. I had the supervisor at the polling station mark it as a duplicate but they should probably have a specific note for trans people changing names and getting extra voter cards because of that since this seems to be coming up so often and they work on trans inclusion in other respects.

i like that they can't quite wrap their heads around the concept that a coalition is still only possible if the combined parties hold more seats.

Before my electoral district was redrawn (I'm assuming as my neighbourhood slowly begins to gentrify and Elections Manitoba gerrymandered the gently caress out of things) the Provincial Conservative candidate was a woman of African descent. Don't assume that non cis, women, and racialized people can't support trash parties.

But BattleMaster and Arivia are cool they can both have two votes.

Vancouver doesn't seem particularly bad unless there's a hockey game or anti-pipeline protestors block the viaduct

I just like to bitch about it on the occasion when I do venture down there in a car (usually not a good plan)

Lately even Burnaby and Coquitlam have been hellish mostly because of the neverending fortis pipeline upgrade destruction and constant tower construction.

The trick to parking downtown is pay for a resident tag once and then just trust that parking enforcement people don't bother to check the date as long as they can see the shiny sticker. Going on month 5 of parking in the west end with an invalid tag :getin:

I did this very successfully with university parking until some enforcement guy noticed and started specifically looking for my car anywhere on campus.

It's pretty gross with the rain, and they don't have any planned route, they're just gonna march where they feel like.

I'm kinda worried for the protesters tbh. Suits getting off work won't mind driving a bit more dangerously to evade the rain and traffic to get home and start their weekend, they don't care if one of "those punks wasting everyone's time" gets run over for what they probably see as illegal activity. Like the people that drive to commute downtown are super far removed from the kids protesting this stuff.

I already fear for my life walking downtown in normal conditions sometimes because of how crazy negligent drivers can be. Add in climate anxiety, bourgeois clinging to wealth, dangerous driving habits, and the relentless rain... And it does not sound like a good mix at all.

Here's hoping everyone stays safe.
