Hexigrammus posted:I guess the cops are assuming the kids died of natural causes, given whose care and keeping they were in. "Natural" causes. Nothing natural about being forcibly removed from your family and terrorized by Christian doctrine. Too bad there isn't some sort of investigation into these horrible acts. Perhaps an inquiry...!

Ah yes, the cabinet minister whose entire legacy is taking the fall for scrapping electoral reform. I almost feel bad for her. Almost.

Orthanc6 posted:Going in I was also concerned; I wasn't seeing much movement, knew there was zero prep time and that it would be an uphill battle. But the results tell me something else happened. Maybe it's because people that voted Jody in 2019 preferred to go NDP than back to Liberals, but that would honestly surprise me more than if it really was Anjali running a good game here and I just didn't happen to see it from my end. Anjali's campaign had over 200 volunteers but the NDP's data management is loving abysmal and honestly probably costs the party multiple seats every election. Like, I worked on the 2019 campaign in VanGran (so we probably met irl) and we were calling people who told us they asked to be removed from the NDP list in like 2012 and every election since. For some reason the party created bespoke tools to manage voter information but they're incredible cumbersome and unintuitive so the most successful campaigns (imo) use proven platforms like NationBuilder or whatever and then the data they collect never gets integrated with the NDP database because 1) the systems are totally different and 2) once the campaign is over all the staff go back to their normal lives and nobody cares. That isn't what you were posting about at all but I just had to rant about how loving incompetent the NDP is.

Orthanc6 posted:Oh yeah we must have met irl! I remember talking to some friends who were only learning about politics this election because of covid, they assumed that the parties had complex systems gathering and assessing all the info from voters automatically. I informed them "no... we ran around with sheets of paper with addresses, you'd be lucky if there were any notes from the last time canvassers talked to anyone, and we pretty much just penciled in good , bad or not-home" i will fully admit to being part of the problem as I have in my storage unit a large bin of canvass walksheets from the 2019 election that this rant has made me now remember... oops! ^^^i am sorry that is happening to you but lol good luck. your best bet is probably to get in touch with somebody from your constituency association as they actually have updated membership lists. but also good luck finding out who is on your local ndp constituency association or getting in contact with them

enki42 posted:The problem with restricting testing is that it's ultimately going to accelerate spread. In Ontario, like 95% of people are told to just assume any illness with COVID symptoms is COVID. Anytime you feel sick, that means you're supposed to self-isolate and take 5-10 days off. For people who can't work from home, they're either going to start writing off minor symptoms, or their manager is going to ask them to. Doubly so if they have kids at home and have to self-isolate every time their kid is sick too. Yes, because this is the point. Gotta keep number going up!

Anyone following this story about Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond? Basically, very prominent indigenous lawyer/advocate may have been lying or at least was very disingenuous about her indigeneity and may not actually be indigenous at all? Pretty interesting and she has the support of a number of indigenous groups, so I'm not really sure what to make of it. Anyway, story is here. Worth a read: https://www.cbc.ca/newsinteractives/features/mary-ellen-turpel-lafond-indigenous-cree-claims

its just so stupid. i don't know how anyone in the ndp can see the media coverage of this and be like "yes, this is good for the party and will not have any consequences come election time" actually i do know how, because they are broke-brained idiots who lack any sort of real political analysis

The CEO report should be read in conjunction with Appadurai's response: https://twitter.com/richardzussman/status/1582886141086556160 First, it is clear the CEOs report is not a totally accurate factual account of events. Nonetheless I don't think anyone would argue she was completely clean, but that her mistakes were out of naive ignorance rather than an intentional design. For instance, many Dogwood staff have also been staff on numerous election campaigns without any issue. So it's totally disingenuous to enforce that "rule" now. And that's not even noting that unions are doing literally the exact same thing for Eby and that Eby's campaign staff consisted of union members and employees. But the bigger issue with the CEO's report is that the only "rules" it cite are a vague statement about not coordinating and a Aug 31 bulletin (notably almost a month after the campaign begun) about fraudulent membership. So 1) what rule did she break? 2) The goalposts are shifting on her, and 3) most egregiously, the idea of a "fraudulent" member is such a witch hunt that it invokes only mccarthyism. Who knows how this audit asked the question about "support"? Also, who cares? As AA says in her response, it is totally legitimate to join the party to support one candidate for leadership - in fact, that's how leadership campaigns usually go! Horgan and others have also doubled down on this purity test when he was whining about how people in his riding joined the NDP to vote for AA but wouldn't join to vote for him. As of this is evidence of a conspiracy and not evidence that your politics are totally uninspiring. But it speaks to this idea that the party considers Eby a "true" NDPer and AA as not - therefore fraudulent. Lastly, even if AA did break some undisclosed rules, the remedy did not need to be disqualification. It was completely discretionary. To DQ her is a tone deaf decision that lacks any sort of political insight. Literally everyone reads it for what it is: a bald power play.

Bleck posted:You mean that thing that they most certainly do and often wins them elections? Yet another stupid aspect about this! The right cultivates connections with community groups and outside organizations and they win because of it. The NDP (and the left generally) would rather spurn them. Hm, wonder why the right keeps winning...
