Corporate HQ's are mostly in Calgary and, while everyone dreams of being the next big web property, the reality of tech is that it's dominated by B2B sales. You generally put your offices where your customers are. yeah, what i'm saying is there's really nothing apparent stopping people from doing LOB apps or weird niche engineering tools, or devops consulting, or like a million other reasonably profitable tech businesses that don't require massive upfront capital or insane growth stories to attract VC. you can do them from anywhere, really

xtal is the funny kind of "anarchist" who is against the state but seemingly quite enthusiastic for private enterprise, complete with managers who get to dictate what employees are forced to do at their jobs.

xtal posted:This read as funny to me at first, but I also started thinking about how our government has treated LGBT people in the past, and we're also currently talking about an anti-trans precedent being set by a judge in a human rights tribunal. Trans people would probably be way better off if the government removed the restrictions on how they can be treated, defunded CAMH/etc appropriately, and donated all the money to a bathtub treatment facility (or a LGBT organization that knew what they were doing.) Did you eat lead paint at the last Tower free meal or something? There’s nothing loving anti-trans about that decision. It’s based on the merits of the service: waxing a vulva is different from waxing a scrotum. The aestheticians weren’t trained to actually give Yaniv a genital waxing, so they couldn’t be forced to. It wasn’t decided on the basis of a facet of gender, but on the actual service being provided. And gently caress off with this defunding poo poo. Trans people need affirmative inclusive care from trained mental health professionals, not your loving bullshit. e: seriously if you think being a cis anarchist gives you the right to speak authoritatively about my community’s issues, you can right gently caress off.

Thoth! posted:I don't understand how the gently caress so many nonessential public sector employees I meet are conservative and want to cut govt service spending. There's a lot of the usual "my taxes" stuff, which dovetails nicely with having a secure, well-paying job, better than the average. Going a bit deeper, most public sector workers deal with people who are the target of benefit programs, and so it's easy to fall into "I'm providing this service, and have a stable situation. Why don't these people just..." mental trap. The Liberals are seen as the party of middle managers, so if you hate your boss, you'd be likely to align with their natural enemy. And then factor in simple fygm as you say. ETA: There's also a fair bit of leopards eating faces stuff going on. "Government spending is wasteful. (My boss and so on are incompetent.) But *my* department is indispensable. Surely, Dear Leader will see that." PhilippAchtel has issued a correction as of 11:45 on Oct 24, 2019 |

DariusLikewise posted:ppc voters just have like the most broken brains Honestly, the biggest problem with this plan is that Bernier went from being the guy who was a few votes from being the leader of a major party to the guy who ran a hopeless vanity campaign. If he had been more disciplined and perhaps taken a vacation from politics while Scheer destroyed himself then Bernier could have been well positioned to mount another leadership challenge. I also think the prospect of a hard right libertarian inflected and anti-PC version of the Conservative Party could achieve a lot of its goals if it forged an alliance with the Bloc, provided they could get elected in the first place. That's (kind of) how we ended up with free trade with America: most of English Canada, in particular the churches and unions and academia, were against free trade, as was most of the English speaking public. Mulroney lost a lot of seats but retained his majority thanks in large part to a strong showing in Quebec, which gave him the mandate necessary to push through free trade. Effectively, French nationalists, Bay Street execs and western populists worked together to force an unpopular and transformative policy change that, for various reasons, each faction though would benefit them in particular. For the moment the risk is muted but if Quebec and the prairies ever find a way to work together a lot of weird poo poo could go down. Which is why it's super important to keep an environmentalist wedge driven inbetween those groups, and why in some ways it might be to the long term benefit of the country to have Albertans ranting and raving in their current unhinged fashion. If anything we should foment their hatred of Quebec (and vice versa), it may be the best long term insurance policy we have. tl;dr Laurentian Canada should take a page from our forebearers and keep the colonials safely divided through mutual animosity, least they combine against us

The way Albertans cry about transfer payments going to lazy Québécois for the last decade has not gone unnoticed. SpacePope posted:There's also the fact that we *really* don't like pipelines. Yeah this is literally why the Liberals are the "natural governing party" and held government for a combined total of roughly 68 years of the 20th century. To win the Conservatives had to somehow get their potential supporters in the prairies, Ontario and Quebec to all work together. On several noteworthy occasions the Conservatives were able to win majority government's with this coalition, but in each case after a few cycles the stark differences between regions made the governing coalition untenable and the Liberals swept back into power. Mulroney was the last time this happened. Harper came into office trying to court Quebec on the belief that they were the only way to get a Conservative majority government, but after his repeated overtures failed he was able to chart a new path by winning big among New Canadian voters who had traditionally voted Liberal. The Conservatives loved this because unlike the Quebecois the New Canadian vote is perceived as making virtually no demands - as far as the Conservatives were concerned New Canadian voters just want the local MP to show up at cultural festivities and kiss babies while raking in the same cheap labour and tax credit focused policies that every other Canadian suburbanite loves - but so far they've only been able to win once on that coalition. So yes, getting the prairies and Quebec to work together is a tall order, and you should be glad for it, because that's the largest structural barrier to a more conservative government and God help us if the conservatives ever find a viable long term way to thread that particular needle.
