I played Suzerain recently, which is set in a lightly reskinned early cold war Europe, and early on in the game your party votes to change the subsidy from per-vote to per-elected member, which is decried as antidemocratic since it favours the vote-efficient parties and excludes those that don't meet the 10% threshold for inclusion in parliament. lol at us.

But, correct me if I'm wrong, our glorious leaders secured neither in this deal to prop up the Liberal government? So now we have no money going into an election where the Liberals are unpopular.

I have no idea why the Liberals didn't bring back the per-vote subsidy, it benefits them more than the Cons but I guess they did some math and figured it would benefit the other parties even more so it's back to $200-a-plate fundraisers (well ok by now $200 probably only gets you a fork and a napkin).

When I left, it was $1600 a plate, the legal max at the time. These events are open bar tho, so like, we really lost money on some of them. Especially the biannual "Laurier Club"* events in Ottawa which are also held at big Ottawa venues(NAC, National Art Gallery, Museum of civilization etc.) *the liberal maximum donor program. gently caress the only thing I miss about that job which damaged my soul is the parliamentary reception invites. Cheap date night, getting to eat free food and wine (taste of nova scotia was dope) and playing video games all night at the video game industry lobby night.

when I was in Ottawa for co-ops during the late 90s (RIP Nortel) it was super fun party town mostly because of all the newfies who headed west for work. and that’s without the government schmoozefests which would be a whole new level I imagine.

The main reason is I think both lib and cons can rely on funding from private donors and are financially stable that way while the NDP and other parties can't maintain the same kind of war chest

The Liberals saw a way to knock out the Bloc and NDP (and Greens) I suppose? I think the deal with the Tories to eliminate it also increased the amount of personal and corporate donations allowed, because of course it did. It was called the Fairer Elections Act iirc, Citizens United was already taken.

FWIW, in 2003, Chretien did bring in regulation that brought the per vote subsidy and critically, banned corporate donations in federal elections. So like, an unambiguously good thing, although tbf it also banned union donations. PhilippAchtel posted:Bunny, are you the unnamed Liberal staffer who yelled obscenities at the trucker convoy? I wish. I mean, a. I wasn't working for the party at the time. b. At the time I lived in Nepean, c. I have some good close friends who lived in the area who did poo poo on them like that but weren't published that far (Side Note: RIP to a really good friend of mine who passed away this year from cancer who did that.)

Karach posted:Suzerain is an incredible game. Been meaning to do a replay since they released 2.0 ooh yeah i should probably revisit the game now, i had a great time with my couple playthroughs not long after it came out. Bonus points for it making me think all the text in the game in a mildly insensitive Chekov-esque exaggerated russian accent. lmao though i actually managed somehow to get onto the new disability program in manitoba that is apparently stupid difficult to qualify for (unambiguously white name privilege maybe i guess) so i should actually qualify for that june signup (and good god i need it) but jesus christ this is what happens when your entire platform hinges on 'people will vote for us because have you seen the other guy' bunnyofdoom posted:FWIW, in 2003, Chretien did bring in regulation that brought the per vote subsidy and critically, banned corporate donations in federal elections. lmao at this uncomfortable feeling of vague nostalgia for fuckin chretien. i'm not even too terribly fussed about banning union donations in the process of banning corporate donations, they are not the same thing but for the purposes of political donations, i'm not going to lose sleep over that

Well ranked voting would mean the conservatives would never have power again so I can see the clamour about it. They should be very in favour of proportional rep though given their terrible voting efficiency.

Yellow Ant posted:Yes. quote:Mick West describes himself as a coder, science communicator and false conspiracy theory debunker. West firmly believes the pilots were seeing sunlight reflected from SpaceX Starlink satellites(opens in a new tab) on Jan. 19. I've definitely seen trains of starlink satellites moving across the night sky in MB. I live in a rural area so when it's clear they're very easy to see. They move quite quickly. seems plausible to me.
