Another Bill posted:Wilson-Reybould has been grinding this axe for years now. Does anybody really care? It will be moot after this election. Since she's retiring, people that gave her her independent seat have to choose between going back to the party that betrayed them or to the other parties. Currently, it looks like most of them went back to the Libs, which makes sense since there's a lot of larger detached homes in this riding (I'm in it, but in a 1 bedroom) so most of the voters here are going to be more inclined towards centrist parties: https://338canada.com/59036e.htm But it's been jumping around a lot and there's a week still to go in this very brief election, so who knows where it lands in the end in this riding. She seems more left inclined, so I imagine her hope would be people switching to more left parties if she keeps bad-mouthing the Libs like this. But that's not what seems to be happening, and she should have known her riding wouldn't swing that way. So yeah.... don't really know what purpose she has in doing this anymore.

It's mainly small business owners who have told me that UBI is great because it means they can reduce benefits and salaries because UBI will cover the difference. It also means that many social programs can be eliminated since "people will now have money to pay for these services".

Welp Nova Scotia is staying in phase 4 for now (mandatory masks in public indoor spaces, social distancing, gathering limits). New target date for complete abandonment of preventative measures is Oct 4, which is when the vaccine passports start. Sounds like delta v is ripping through some Mennonite community close to the NB border. Lots of exceptions to the “proof of vaccination” policy — churches, banks, fast food/takeout restaurants, barbers and spas, retail stores, shelters… kind of wondering why they’re bothering at all

I am hoping that it goes to the NDP seeing how last time it went to an independent, but I guess people here might be more about the devil you know. Also it kind of blows my mind how diverse this area is. I live near a bunch of co-ops (in one myself), there are a bunch of 3 story apartment rentals (that look like they will slowly get demolished), and then you get some really nice semi detached places the further you move up from the river. At least I haven't seen a single PPC flyer.

Yeah I helped canvas for the NDP candidate last election cause I was between contracts at the time. We focused on getting to all those low-rise apartments, but yeah this riding really has it all. We got low-rise rentals, mansions, giant condo towers and the edge of downtown Vancouver. The office last time was on Broadway but most of our canvasing was near the south-end at Marpole. I think our last candidate, Yvonne, was fantastic, but I'm not surprised she couldn't get this riding. She was very young and very, VERY left, and this riding is pretty much square in the middle politically. And also yes, these low-rises are starting to get demo'd. I imagine you've seen the conversion around the Skytrain station, they've already announced the next phase of expanding high-rises and it's expanding pretty quickly out from the station along Marine Drive. I expect to be demo-victed.... again, within 5 years.

Trudeau took a shot at Kenney and Moe today.The quote in question posted:Speaking to reporters in Richmond, B.C., Trudeau said he "feels bad" for people living in Alberta and Saskatchewan who have "done the right thing" and gotten vaccinated. Kenney had to cancel his trip to go speak at the oil sands convention so he could instead convene a cabinet meeting over the Alberta fustercluck. I imagine we'll see him come out tomorrow to yell and scream about Federal overreach. How dare Trudeau criticize him, how dare he?! Also over 5.6 million people voted in advance polls this weekend. That seems significant.

Those are direct screenshots from the COVID-19 Outbreak Update webpage on Canada.ca. I've been checking in there ever since the pandemic began: https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/services/diseases/2019-novel-coronavirus-infection.html The graphs automatically adjust their scale to the min/max values. Kinda seems like she was just screenshotting them and dumping them on a slide, but I guess it depends on the context of the meeting. mom and dad fight a lot posted:Edit: oh, you know what though, if you go to the actual link that she posted at scroll down to figure 1b, you can toggle relative scales. She either made a huge oversight or is deliberately misleading. Here's those graphs again: mom and dad fight a lot fucked around with this message at 01:04 on Sep 15, 2021 |

Always good to see more people voting, though I imagine a big contributor to early voting is people not wanting to be at the potential COVID-super-spreader polls on the 20th.

Good thing that a) we never have to vote in another FPTP election again! and b) polling is completely useless in determining whether strategic voting is even worthwhile.
