I think the US also has the issue that a sizable number of Republicans are anti-vaccination specifically because Democrats are pro-vaccine.

vyelkin posted:The CBC used to have a comments section where anonymous users without accounts could vote comments up and down. It was the best comments section on the internet, the top-rated comments tended to be thoughtful and helpful and all the racist garbage was downvoted into oblivion. Then they changed it to a system where only logged-in users could vote and there were no more downvotes, and the racist garbage floated to the top immediately. Now they just don't have comments on like half the website because they drove away all the good commenters and the only people left are the ones who call for genocide under every article. I wonder what the rules are for closing CBC comments, I have a few guesses: i) An indigenous issue or person is mentioned in the article. ii) Article is about a woman under the age of 18. iii) Issue affecting racial minorities. iv) Issue affecting LGBT. v) Article about the police. I also wonder if there was a memo sent that's like "Close comment section on the following types of articles:"

linoleum floors posted:That corp buys houses through private sales undercutting the local market then divides them into basement, main floor duplexes rented out at above market rates. A couple weeks ago, at 9:00pm on a Saturday, we were sitting in our front room watching the Leafs massively choke. And a white BMW with completely black-tinted windows and its high-beams on pulls up in our driveway. We just bought this house from a cop last year. So I'm sitting thinking, "we're about to get murdered". But it's some dumb loving realtor following up on her stupid "hand-written" letter asking to buy our house. Life gently caress off you dumb fucker.

Another Bill posted:https://twitter.com/CanadianPolling/status/1432563669066518533 I will laugh so hard if the Liberals get a majority with like 30% of the vote, on the back of the conservatives running up the score in the prairies.

Normy posted:I'm not convinced ranked choice would benefit the Liberals the most. The NDP is the #1 second choice for almost all other parties' supporters. It's also not true in the long term. The political landscape already changes over time, and would definitely shift drastically in reaction to going ranked choice.

Fidelitious posted:That's pretty big, but is it enough to change any results from splitting the vote? I would say no, but also Alberta's seats are irrelevant anyway. It's impossible to tell. Canada's polling is bad in the first place. But maybe this could swing some of the cities? We don't have granular enough information to get a good idea. It's not like it can get any worse, so anything is a bonus.

Pleads posted:While I get the general sentiment of "don't call an election during a pandemic," most of the tut-tutting I've heard has come from the CPC who are basically solely responsible for it still being dangerous to go out in public right now so I mostly just hope they all drown in their own lung juices so we can move on. They were also calling for us to turf Trudeau for the entire pandemic. What did they mean by that? Did they mean to get rid of him without having an election?

Kale posted:You can't make them wear that muzzle etc. They're exempt!!!!! I agree with this, the right wing propaganda machine had become very strong at demonizing liberal and left politicians. I think liberals need to come to terms with rotating leaders every few election cycles, because they wont be able to stay popular.

Sashimi posted:Since this is the second election in a row where the CPC has got more votes than the Liberals yet ended up with significantly fewer seats, why aren't they screaming at the top of their lungs for electoral reform? It plays into the conservative persecution complex, and gives them plenty of mud to sling at Trudeau since it was his government that immediately dropped that campaign promise once elected in 2015. This seems like it should be a slam dunk issue for them to take up, am I missing something? Because, if they get 33% of the vote in a proportional system they would have very little power. They would rather lead government with ~1/3 of the vote about half the time than never lead government.

enki42 posted:Foreign buyers just seem like participants in the fundamental problem with the system, which is real estate used primarily for speculation and investment over residency. Ban foreign home ownership and there's plenty of willing Canadians willing to snap up the property to realize their dreams of being landlords or watching their home value go up. Honestly, the solutions seem pretty simple. But lol if you think anyone's gonna do anything about it. We shouldn't be targeting foreign buyers, we should be targeting all speculators. We fundamentally need to increase supply and reduce demand, with things like: i) Massively punitive empty house taxes, complete with rewards for snitches. And if you lie about it, straight to the gulag. ii) Sin taxes on rental income. iii) Smart housing development. We all know what this is, not just condos and mcmansions.

Another Dirty Dish posted:Same experience in Montreal and Quebec City with my wife, I got along fine in Montreal speaking English and with my wife speaking French (she lived in Rimouski for a bit) but once we got to QC I think I talked to maybe two people. I gotta say though, français québécois is easy to understand compared to some of the Acadian dialects - I could understand the gist of what they were saying in Quebec, but I’ve never understood anything someone from Cheticamp or Arichat said to me. No, it's purely for crying purposes.
