  • Fortunately, our parliamentary system of government gives the citizens more power over our elected officials.

    We have had government's be forced over to the opposition bench because a majority of house seats joined together to form a government.

    We've also had recalls that have worked. So yes I agree the CPC represents a zany reality of govt. I don't think they would be able to pull off the same hijinks.

  • The US vs them sentiment shouldn't exist when it comes to science. Rather, congratulate them and produce a better machine.

    China has just as many paradoxes as the US, the good be the bad mentality only fosters the air of war.

  • Thank-you for bringing that up. I laughed when I saw it. I'm surprised he isn't wearing a harness, hi vis, and a hard hat.

    If you watch the video, you can see the platform in the executive parking lot lifts him up to use the Shaw workyard as a background. This way he doesn't have to get his shoes dirty.

    What a putz

  • The central feature of Poilievre's plan is a policy that ties federal funding to housing starts.

    Which creates more bureaucracy on to of an already bureaucratic system. Genius

    Forcing cities to levels of growth whether they have infrastructure or not. If they don't have the ability to meet that number they will be penalized seeing cities further back causing more problems.

    As if we don't already have enough problems.

  • Okay, you got me. The G&M, the conservative shill piece that it is, put out an article that leads the reader in a couple of circles to come around and ponders this thought...

    What can be said about population growth is that it makes the costs of bad policy more apparent. If it means we are now beginning, at long last, to have a serious conversation about the barriers to investment and housing construction that have bedevilled this country for decades, then hallelujah for all those extra people, and let’s have lots more.

    As you pointed out the article isn't blaming increased immigration. But it also isn't pointing fingers at property for profit. Instead the problem eludes to barriers to investment and housing construction.

  • Typical G&M flame bait. Blaming immigrants and JT for the immigration policies. Let's toss in the health care problems too. Why are the liberals doing this to us? Crocodile tears

    No mention of speculative investment in housing, greedy landlords jacking up rents, corpo land holdings, foreign land holders, claw backs on infrastructure grants, complicated building laws, red tape and all that.

    This tripe from the Postmedia network is more distraction from the real news.

    November 2019, Postmedia announced[25] that 66% of its shares were now owned by Chatham Asset Management, an American media conglomerate which owns American Media, Inc., and is known for its close ties to the Republican party.[26] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postmedia_Network

    Update: Whoops. Here I'm talking shit about G&M and they are not owned by Postmedia. I'm not a fan, but I did misrepresent the paper, and this article. I suppose that I'm so used to conservative shit, that I might scan articles leaning to the right. I'll do better.

  • I was sick, so I could tolerate the presentation which had high-end effects.

    A UAV flys through the desert over the Apple building into the center garden, it approaches Tim Cook standing on à lawn. He starts speaking in his mechanical ceo way. A lot more effects like this.

    The watch

    • new processor with cores dedicated to ml. Monitoring your bio markers for finger traps and other gestures. It also processes voice commands so you don't need to be tethered to the internet to figure out what your saying.
    • a fear based marketing, the presentation opens with shiny people who have been assisted by the watches bio monitoring. Heart attack, hypothermia, car accident, etc. Apple watch is always watching you.
    • 18 hrs battery life, so you have to remove it to charge it everyday. So while your sleeping? But put it back on before you wake up so you can snooze by tapping your fingers together. Also if you're likely to have a heart attack at night, wear the watch so it can wake you up.
    • satellite emergency SOS, and road side assist. USA only
    • carbon neutral. Recycled metals,...
    • features you will use everyday (repeat 15x)

    An impressive presentation. Engineering is amazing. Still, your locked into their walled garden. And they can keep you juiced with dopamine as long as you give them money.

  • Health Canada says:

    Starting in fall 2023, it's recommended that you get an updated COVID-19 vaccine dose if it's been at least 6 months:

    • since your last COVID-19 vaccine dose or
    • since you last had COVID-19 (whichever happened later)

    I got my vaccination last month, so I will get this at the end of February 2024
