If Trudeau is suggesting it, that must mean it's good for liberals. Liberals bad, vote no! Electoral reform will lead to more conservative representation in the Maritimes. Vote no! If they change the voting system, people who didn't get elected will get into parliament. Liberal cronyism, vote no! Etc.

He probably only agreed to let the photographer in because his name is Kawai.quote:“I’m a member of Canada Kicks rear end Gaming Clan,” he says, anticipating a new Star Wars first-person-shooter video game. “At least with things like MMOs (massively multiplayer online games), the universe doesn’t change that much, so I can pick up where I left off.” He is also spellbound by model trains and Lego. He once built a Star Wars battleship during a 24-hour voting marathon in the House of Commons, along with the 3,000-piece Imperial Star Destroyer in his Ottawa apartment, which he must also pack up on his way overseas. He has home renovation projects in mind, as well, and hopes to convert his backyard shed into an environmentally controlled workshop (for his train sets).

PT6A's right, Mulcair's grasping at straws. I can see how the NDP are in no hurry to replace him, and he is very, very good at Not Necessarily An Answer Period, but I don't see a future where he is the leader of this party and they are effective at anything but splitting votes.

The way he combines utter contempt for 99% of human life and a fixation on consumption based lifestyle indicators is endlessly enjoyable. It's like David Brooks and Benito Mussolini had an ethnically Han love child. That is a valid take.

Jordan7hm posted:- The NCC portfolio is going to someone who isn't from Ottawa (Joly, as minister of heritage). At first glance, I don't like that at all. I'm trying to keep an open mind. The NCC is known for its dictatorial tone and the "well too drat bad for you" attitude it takes with local politicians. Having someone who's never been exposed to the weird relationship between city hall and the NCC could be a good thing, kinda like how Manitoba and Saskatchewan forces actively recruit cops from places that don't border on reserves.

Is this why I can't get anywhere near an Appletree after 10 AM because the waiting rooms are packed with Quebeckers, which I totally don't mind because they have the same right to health care as I do but it's weird that they have to come here to get it.

He'd also be a good foreign affairs minister because he knows what it's like to be in places that aren't Canada. Is there a ministry of guys who can gently caress off and go be irrelevant somewhere else? He could totally be that too.

On that, the board of a hospice in Sherbrooke voted unanimously to allow doctor-assisted suicide to begin there. It's only for cancer patients, and not all of the doctors will be doing it, but it's a start that's been a long friggin time in coming.

Count Roland posted:Yeah, but I want it to be actually legal. Decriminalization does not interest me. I'm very curious about how the Liberals will go about doing it, there are a few examples in the US and they're none of them the same. I know a lot about the subject so I feel like flooding the thread with my informed opinions on the matter instead of listening to diet advice. Please do. I'm more interested in it from a civil rights / policing perspective because I think it's genuinely cool when the guys with the boots on the ground decide that a law shouldn't exist anymore because it's not worth their time. I wonder what horrible mutilations they'll have to put s.253 through if they plan to make it practical for cops to test for weed impairment at roadside/collisionside; whether it'll be a meaningful legalization and not one of the "anyone with a license can do it but we'll never issue licenses stop asking" variety; what sort of penalties might linger for the people who make it available to the five teenagers who want it but can't already get it from their friends, and what the provinces'/municipalities' response will be.

If a driver kills someone while not carrying a passenger: that will be the issue.
