Re. BC museum I thought “that seems like a lot,” then thought about the fact that it’s a giant collection that needs specialized storage and access controls, has to be reasonably future-proofed, needs to withstand an earthquake, is being built over nearly a decade… I mean, maybe they just actually costed a project correctly for once instead of announcing it will cost 25% of the actual final price tag.

Yeah, it isn't a parking garage. I think some of the complainers don't really realize that generally what a museum has on display is less than 1% of their collection. You need all kinds of climate control and related stuff to safely store everything. And there's an immense amount of money that goes into restoration and preservation workspaces. I mean I don't live in BC anymore but yeah, I'm not going to get worked up over what sounds like a fairly reasonable cost for a top-notch museum.

Nobody was screaming when the BC Libs burnt over half that (514-560mil) replacing the roof of BC Place, something they should have been dragged over the coals worse than Fast Ferries.

Honestly if the museum isn't like falling apart I'd rather they drop a billion on housing. I have a real belief we need to deal with all the basic problems before anything else gets funding. Want that nice new hockey rink? Not until everyone is housed and fed. Have spending follow the hierarchy of needs. You fill up the first need in your society and then fill the next and the next until the money runs out. Want more fancy lower-priority things in your society? Well, get better at solving the basics.

I mean I agree they should spend way more on housing but they've definitely spent more than the libs ever did, got two badly needed apartments for the homeless in my neighborhood built a couple years back. Not enough of course, hopefully there's more planned but with dippers you never know

I'm ambivalent on the museum, but I'd prefer not to go back to 15 years of BC Liberals over it. I also think it's crazy they're closing it so soon when the replacement isn't even designed yet.

The CBC marking fun of “The Resistance” Maclean’s cover. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/jason-kenney-trudeau-conservative-1.6459950 quote:Late in 2018, Maclean's magazine put five Conservative leaders on its cover and billed them as "the resistance" — an apparent play on the name of the movement that had emerged to oppose Donald Trump in the United States.

Speaking of, surely some goons have some experience with the communist party and/or Marxist-Leninists? Are they any good, like actual community organizers and such, or full of tankies and terfs, or a mix? I've been meaning to ask my Marxist friends irl but I've never heard them talk about the parties

I dig that it sounds crazy, but it's actually possible to deal with multiple problems within overlapping time frames and schedules, especially when there are lots of people to work on them and figure out their parts and coordinate. Even a single person can deal with more than one thing at once. It is known.

I remember when in the federal election happened (20 years ago?) and Ontario results started coming in and due to a mistake by the local election officer reporting (trying to be the first result in), they attributed the liberal votes to the Marxist Leninist party, who then held the lead for ~10min. Ctv's Lloyd Robertson's face was priceless as the graphics kept rolling on by.

They should invoke the name of Maurice 'The Rocket', or at least some other old-timey Habs imagery to siphon off votes in QC. It wouldn't be a lemon party without ol' dick.

In the latest installment of Ontario Liberals straight up attacking others for acting like Liberals: Del Duca last week, about eight OPCP MPPs receiving money from their riding association to pay for meals, entertainment, vehicle costs, gasoline and childcare: quote:I think it is troubling for those individuals who are receiving an MPP is compensation or salary. And then, frankly, from this particular party, telling the people of Ontario that they had to freeze the minimum wage four years ago Del Duca's party this week, on Del Deuca's riding association having done the same thing including $50,000 spent at high end restaurants: quote:"legitimate" https://globalnews.ca/news/8845828/del-duca-riding-association-50k-high-end-restaurants/ That first statement. He didn't actually contradict himself. In that what he actually said was that it's not okay those individuals to spend public and donated money that way. It's only "appropriate" when it's a Liberal. So gross.

I saw a house for 600,000 that seemed fine in the Ottawa area. It had a yard, two floors and a basement; it met every definition of being a "house" in my mind.
