Trolling isn't something you do to get elected and be the head of the NDP, it's something you do to intentionally piss people off. That's like the exact opposite of what it is.

I had to bike halfway across the city to get tested in the fall because the only testing centre in the city was (is?) way on the south side, and they told me to take transit or a cab.

They're not making housecalls anymore if you have no isolated way to get to a testing center? They were for a while, but I guess "for a while" is the best you can hope for here.

We passed on buying a house in Hamilton in 2013 because the house next to it had confederate flags in the windows. Our realtor had no loving clue why that was bad and why my WoC partner wouldn't want to live there, goddamn that realtor was dumb.

Edit: No worries some Ontarians get smug but I wasn't trying to imply anything wrt your post.

oh yeah I didn't mean to imply an alberta connection. I once took a detour on the way to algonquin park (thanks to a music festival clogging up the main road) and saw multiple rebel flags on the side roads, including a massive one covering a whole barn. It was somewhere around barrie I think.

Seen the same driving around east, just outside of Algonquin. Lotta weird redneck pockets and Christian denominations I've never heard of and probably worship snakes.

I saw a confederate flag flying in northern ontario a couple years ago but it was gone before I had the chance to fix that. Not sure if the owner smartened up or someone else beat me to it.

It's so infuriating how nakedly fptp exists just to prop up entrenched power systems.

What's that? The liberals won 70% of the seats with 34% of the popular vote and the NDP won 6% of the seats with 30% of the popular vote? Sounds like effective representation to me!

So sensible how all of our democratic voting rules are legislated from a period when cars didn't exist and people still used leeches and quicksilver for their bad humours.

ontario had a referendum on alleviating fptp with MMP as part of the ballot during a provincial election and it failed by a considerable margin, most people polled didnt know wtf it was.

at the time i was mad because i felt it hadn't been given any coverage by the media or by the government, but frankly if the citizens can't be bothered to do the bare minimum of research who are we to argue
