i have no idea why there is a group of people who so vehemently defend bad posting in the other thread but am willing to read someone's explanation of it. the whole thread culture seems very weird and has been flying under the radar for a while due to Canada

feels related to the Canadian impulse to point out and vaguely defend any Canadian who is noticed outside Canada

"they’re Canadian you know"

gently caress electronic voting in all forms

no possible upside

many possible downsides

give people meaningful choices and the time to exercise them, or stop pretending that votes matter. computers will not save you

that makes me feel better having picked up one of their books and putting it back down after reading the intro. it was ostensibly about some cool group of people somewhere but it was told entirely from the point of view of the rear end in a top hat colonizer "discovering" the cool group, like they only had value once they were "discovered". weirded me out enough to bail. seems like I made a good choice for once?

I like how Notley and Horgan are giving each other ample ammunition to say they're standing up for their province's interests against evil outsiders.

it does almost sound like a brilliant attempt to thwart blaming everything on the local ndp. they can’t fight other parties and win, but what if they fought... each other

then Occam’s razor kicks in, all politics are local, etc. etc. but I enjoy those precious seconds before I wake up

pcpo looking incompetent but how many provincial parties could realistically deal with a fuckup leader resigning in disgrace a few months before an election and pull off a leadership vote?

yeah they’re incompetent but I doubt they’re especially so given the circumstances

This is something i've often wondered about. In Alberta everything is "The court of Queen's bench" and "the queen's printer"

Are we gonna bother changing all that, as the next monarch clearly won't be a queen, or just tell those inbred cunts to gently caress right off?

with any luck someone will see the budget for changing all the signs and realize, hey, it costs the same to update them to say nothing whatsoever about monarchy

this is surely revealing my ignorance, but what is the point of ordering up such a report? you say these two numbers need to meet, then you mandate one of the numbers can’t change, so the result is foregone. I can’t imagine anyone who voted for you caring about the indirection, and I can’t imagine anyone who voted against you being fooled for even a moment. is it to funnel some friends three months' salary? is it to contract out the actual act of governing so you can get back to ignoring town halls?

Jesus christ, is someone in this thread trying to defend this monstrosity by bringing up the value of public art in general? Would you be defending a mural celebrating a confederate officer or a residential school? This poo poo is inexcusable, I'm disgusted that it hasn't been destroyed already.

seemed more like a "silver lining" kinda thing, not a defence

Back in July, Vancouver House, the condo tower next to this chandelier had 30+ units for sale. Now there are zero units up for sale. Does anyone know what happened to them? They certainly weren't sold.

I saw something on twitter about developers taking out loans to buy their own unsold inventory, presumably in hopes of relisting when the market improves (and juking the stats in the meantime). don’t remember where or which developers, but maybe that?

When the message is "gently caress you poor people we're living in unimaginable luxury and laughing at you while you die of exposure in the streets" the fact that public art is being created is not in any way a silver lining.
