How about instead of talking about what kind of furry we're the most attracted to we start talking about the new local MPs we just received from the glorious voting apparatus known as First Past the Post! I'll start with a lovely young man (only 27 so not nearly old enough to be overburdened with knowledge of the ups and downs of life), a man that got the extremely important backing of a pro-life group. A fellow that had the unfortunate experience of having scandalous attack ads launched against him by his liberal opponent (which were memorable for having only things he posted about himself on his website as the "attack ad" facts). Yes let's give it up for Garnett Genuis, the new MP for Sherwood Park-Fort Saskatchewan. I get to deal with that for 4 more loving years.

Health Services posted:Have any links to these ads? It's hard to believe that he achieved his dream of becoming an MP. They were pamphlets (that the candidate whose team put them together didn't actually see until after they were distributed). I don't think we kept any of them, but I could go digging if you really care. They purely posted facts from his website, with a dumb blurb about do you want him to be your voice in Ottawa or something similar. My wife thought they were bad, but laughed at the conservative campaign chair who claimed the ads against Trudeau were just telling the facts, and that "someday he might be ready."

It's definitely a thing that's been talked about - it might even happen for the most part if the liberal party continues to fade away. I'm constantly amused at how badly people outside Alberta misread that election - there was only one party that ran from the left in most ridings, the liberal party's leader had just stepped down because Raj Sherman is an idiot, and the right was pretty split by the PC's and Wildrose. It's not going to happen again. e: goddamn it I missed that you're in Alberta too. Sorry.

Ignore the names: the wildrose party at this point pretty much is the CPC. The Alberta party won't take the centre, although it would be nice if that worked out for them.

It's a terrible thing to wish upon someone, really, but it could happen. Undisturbed asbestos isn't harmful, for the most part, so if the building's insulation wasn't touched it's probably fine. Having said that I would never allow my family to live in a building insulated with the stuff because it's not always clear when insulation has been impacted. The idea that renovating 24 Sussex is wasting tax payer money baffles me. Why wouldn't you want to take good care of buildings with national history?

Sedge and Bee posted:Seeing as how this is only for draining a sewer pipe for construction work, why can't they just isolate a section and pump it dry? I'll admit I don't know the logistics, but what do they do when they need to replace sewer infrastructure in other places? They are pumping it dry, by moving it into the river. To be less of an rear end when a sewage system doesn't have capacity to hold effluent due to flooding rivers are a common dumping place. It's not like we constantly dump our waste there anymore. E: not that this plan is a good idea though. Obviously this isn't a great plan, but outside spending a lot of money its the only one I've seen.

PT6A posted:Theocracy is inherently anti-democratic and fundamentally incompatible with any notion of a free society, regardless of how it gained power in the first place. Yea, sure, but I hate to tell you this: Morsi wasn't leading a theocracy, he led an Islamist party within a democratic system. A party that Sisi then made illegal and began jailing members of. This is pretty directly related to the conflicts in Sinai - his heavy handed rule is driving away portions of society. Baudin fucked around with this message at 18:08 on Nov 14, 2015 |

PT6A posted:Yes, of course I have. The time for a non-military solution was literally "any time between the end of WW1 and Hitler getting power." Appeasing Hitler, after he gained power, was a losing proposition. Likewise, there are certainly things we could've done to prevent the rise of Daesh, but those options are, largely speaking, not on the table any more. So what exactly are you saying we should be doing? Should we bomb and invade Syria, try to destroy Isis by military might? How would other nations respond? What would Russia and middle East nations view any further involvement? Should we remove Assad from power? In my view your ideal that the solution is military involvement is simplistic. Isis isn't a nation state like Germany was in the second world war. It's a loose confederation of like minded people more than a proper military state.

HookShot posted:Re: Bill 6 my husband grew up on a family farm. There is no way in hell that this bill will stop anything. I don't think it's apt to compare a province's farming regulations with Australia. Regardless actually having laws around safety in a farming environment is a good thing, especially when your talking about youngsters who die in accidents. A young man died, buried under steel fencing not long ago in my home town. Perhaps there should be greater scrutiny on health and safety and actual labor laws.

You fail to even acknowledge that perhaps the crown brought the wrong charges forward or accepted a plea deal with the assumption the accused would actually be sentenced to more than 4 months for gross negligence in a vehicle given the fact the guy admits to running them over by pushing the wrong pedal in some sort of heightened emotional state. This ruling, if it stands, seems to reinforce the notion that when people die by cars its never the drivers fault regardless of their actions.

It's also hosed what happend to the guy while the trial was progressing. If he had actually received competent legal advice he quite possibly would be in jail for longer, so I'm not sure about that point. Do you not understand what accident means?
