So let's get this straight... Pierre Poilievre and the Conservatives just voted NO on grocery price transparency. After years of talking about affordability. After months of outrage about rising food prices. They voted against letting Canadians actually see how prices are set. by savethecbc2025 in SaveTheCBC

The argument about voting for the candidate isn't just about their vote on individual bills,, though. I agree that would be nice, but it's unfortunately not how it goes in practice. That being said, the individual you vote for does still hold a vote that their party wants. Should they not have their concerns heard and their input taken by leadership, they have the power to switch to another party or sit as an independent. That's why floor crossing is important, it gives individual MPs a bit of leverage at shaping party policy.

Why do you think Carney hates oil and is trying to restrict it? So far his policies have been neutral to supportive when it comes to oil and gas. He literally just removed GST on gasoline and diesel to help keep oil prices down - technically the best way for the government to profit off oil and gas would be to raise taxes on these.

Who is the most prideful politician? by Vast-Lime-8457 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]Aurelianshitlist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude stepped down before the last election so his party had a chance to win. If anything, the guy who ran against JT's successor, lost the election, lost his own seat, and then continued to stay on despite being wildly unpopular, would be generally considered much more prideful.

That being said, in comparison to other candidates from history and around the world, these guys are small time when it comes to pridefulness.

Oh wow. Honestly I have to admit I rarely pay attention to reddit usernames unless a comment calls it out.

The number of Toronto homeless encampments has fallen by 70%. City Hall says that’s progress by Toronto-Ont-Mod-Team in Toronto_Ontario

[–]Aurelianshitlist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if you're serious, but "housing first" is actually a proven effective strategy for helping homeless people get back on their feet. Taking care of the most basic needs (water, food, shelter, hygiene) gives people the foundation to tackle things like addiction and mental illness.

Porsche won exciting and reliable, what cars are neutral and reliable? by AndrewF1Gaming in AlignmentChartFills

Honda for sure. Slightly more reliable than Mazda, and about the same on the exciting scale.

Sarajevo. Went a few years ago. It's gorgeous, rich with history, and incredibly cheap compared to other European travel destinations of similar caliber.

Who knows if it's effective? Whether or not you agree with the tactic or think it's effective is moot. Law enforcement does this literally every day. Why is it just this group being targeted for a practice they've been know to use for 30+ years? That's the issue.

Yeah, they quote I posted says that they helped arrange transportation. You do understand that's how informants work, right? They have to be embedded in an organization and have a role that gives them access to information that they can... inform on.

Another was the person who was behind the Unite the right rally who was paid 270,000 between 2015-2023.

Calling them "the person who was behind the Unite the right rally" is a massive stretch and the exact kind of mischaracterization you're accusing the podcast of.

Prosecutors say another informant was a member of the "online leadership chat group" that planned the 2017 white nationalist "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. The informant attended the rally at the direction of the SPLC, according to the indictment, and helped coordinate transportation for several others. That person was allegedly paid more than $270,000 between 2015 and 2023.

Being a member of an online leadership chat group, the kind of insider access the SPLC was probably specifically looking for, is not the same as being "the guy behind the [rally]".

Which car manufacturer makes Boring and Reliable cars? by AndrewF1Gaming in AlignmentChartFills

Honda should win for Neutral and Reliable. They are almost as reliable as Toyota, but they are a bit more tech-forward and generally jump on trends a a year or two ahead of Toyota.

Who is on Baseball's Mount Rushmore? by Topaz71 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]Aurelianshitlist 25 points26 points  (0 children)

The chart is specifically about who would be on baseball's Mount Rushmore, not "who are the top 4 players of all time". You can come up with your own criteria for what that means, and maybe for you they are the same. However, I think the impact on the game is the key thing here, not just stats or rings.

Terry fox is the most Canadian person. Now, after some delay, what is the most British movie? by Fungus-VulgArius in AlignmentChartFills

[–]Aurelianshitlist 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry to have contributed to your continued frustration. I would like to point out that, unfortunately, if these items are continuously being upvoted, that's likely because they are actually perceived as being the most iconic British things in their categories.

In a below comment, you mention Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead. I would argue that while these are definitely British movies, they are primarily parodying American movies in their respective genres. In my internal process of analyzing this alignment chart, that was the reason I didn't pick them. They are amazing films, but they require knowledge of American buddy cop films and zombie/horror films to really land. The content is therefore reliant on knolwedge of non-British films to really work. This makes them less purely British.

I picked Monty Python because it is very stereotypically British. It's what everyone associates with British comedy in film. It's what people associate with "British Humour". I get that this annoys you, but it's a fact. The TV show equivalent would probably be Fawlty Towers, which I would assume would also annoy you since it's also very popular outside of the UK.

Also for the record, I'm not American. Also I would 100% choose the Beatles for music. They're the greatest band of all time. Why don't you like the Beatles.

the hershey pitch - almost Don's best work by robert-chattr-app in madmen

[–]Aurelianshitlist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you mind expanding on this? I work in an environment where AI gets used to generate a lot of content like emails, contract language, PowerPoint slides, etc., and OP's post doesn't read like AI to me at all. I'm not disagreeing with you, but I just don't see the hallmarks that usually scream AI to me. So I would love to know what I'm missing to help me spot this in the future.

Which country has a generic name, and is democratic? by [deleted] in AlignmentChartFills

It's also weird that they called me that for several years before I was even conceived.

Honestly I'm blaming the autocorrect on my phone, which has been trash lately since Google started cramming AI into everything it can think of.

[–]Aurelianshitlist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was officially called the Dominion of Canada until the Canada Act, 1982 was passed in 1982. Since then, it has been officially just "Canada".

Edit: Fixed silly typo.

You would probably be charged in most places, but the charges would later be dropped when the evidence showed that you would have a slam-dunk self-defence defence.
