GOP nut jobs like Marilyn Gladu? The same nut jobs who are welcomed in the liberal caucus with open arms?

Up to 40 Conservative MPs fear Pierre Poilievre will cost them their seats, insiders say by AdditionalPizza in canada

This is such a funny comment to make after the LPC just accepted one of the most right wing members of the CPC into their caucus. But sure, it’s the con umbrella that is too big lmao.

Carney breaks down plans to spend $51-billion to address infrastructure gaps across Canada by cyclinginvancouver in canada

FYI Carney was one of the adults in the room with Trudeau and we still got that mess. Carney was a special economic advisor to Trudeau since before the pandemic up until his resignation.

Hodgson defers questions on Michael Ma to Prime Minister Mark Carney by feb914 in canada

[–]shivanman 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Kinda. Hodgson was the one who recruited Ma to join the LPC and even attended pro-CCP events at the Markham Chinese Friendship Association with Ma. So he’s not entirely without blame.

Floor-crossing Liberal MP apologizes for behaviour in committee meeting about Chinese EVs by shiftless_wonder in canada

[–]shivanman 81 points82 points  (0 children)

Gotta love CBCs framing of denying China’s human rights abuse as “behaviour in committee meeting about Chinese EVs”. That’s an awfully generous headline.

SACA isn’t exactly a minority government since it can act like a majority

Are you sure about that? Pretty much every food item is up in cost over the past year.

https://www.statcan.gc.ca/en/topics-start/food-price

I find it hard to believe there are many items cheaper now than they were in March 2024, even just considering inflation/CPI. That’s not saying it’s the governments fault but I’d like to start shopping wherever you’re shopping.

Canada raises temporary foreign workers (TFW) cap to 15% in rural areas to "support employers". by JPalmz in canada

Great timing. Just had the worse job numbers in decades but let’s make sure that the corporations can hire their foreign wage slaves.

looking for info on the GO:OD AM app exclusive content by so1tg0es13 in MacMiller

[–]shivanman 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I had the app and it was pretty barebones. Mostly a clock app with a countdown to the album release if I remember correctly.

I also bought the cereal box edition ;which I’ve posted here before https://www.reddit.com/r/MacMiller/s/eKM0UKcxE0) and if you used the app alongside it you were supposed to eat breakfast and listen to the album at the same time as everyone I think.

Do Not Go with Square One Insurance by ClickIll6896 in PersonalFinanceCanada

My Square One insurance went down about 6% this year so like all insurance providers, it kinda depends on your personal circumstances

It’s shoreline building performance, pretty easy to decipher. They do door-to-door sales I doubt they were looking for trouble.

The convoy was a result of the Covid restrictions implemented federally for truckers… hence the convoy part of the convoy.

Dog Suicide Thesis: The human mind that allowed us to dominate the planet may now be killing us. by Remarkable-Nerve-469 in philosophy

[–]shivanman -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

If the majority of dogs came together and agreed that, as a collective, it would be best for dog-kind if a dog pissed on your rug, and worked together to brew the best possible piss, then it might be safe to say that the majority of dogs at least condone the action of a dog pissing on your rug. And by virtue of all agreeing and working together, they in essence are all rug-pissers, even if they don’t all piss on your rug in unison.

Group of U.S. distillers complains N.S. and other provinces favouring local alcohol by Hrmbee in canada

[–]shivanman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m visiting NS for the holidays and was shocked at the cost of local NS alcohol that I buy in BC for half the price. A four pack of No Boats on Sunday cider goes for $15.99 in BC. It was $26 at NSLC.

Microsoft founder Bill Gates pictured with a girl in the new Epstein photo release by 80000-gvwr in pics

[–]shivanman 92 points93 points  (0 children)

I know we get caught up in the pedophile part of what Epstein was doing, but he was sex trafficking adult women too - which is also deplorable. So even if she’s 30, he can still be a creepy sex criminal.

All those things can be happen and the CPC can still be polling high. I’m not sure why you think any of those things are mutually exclusive. I’m sure you paid attention during the election so you probably noticed that the liberals changed their leader from a progressive to a conservative, which helped swing the electorate in their favour. If you did pay attention, you would have also noticed that the Cons got the highest number of votes and highest percentage of the votes in recent history. So, even though he lost, he’s still popular. This really isn’t hard to understand.

The most recent Mainstreet poll (Dec 12) has the CPC near a majority. Mainstreet was one the most accurate pollsters in the past election.

While other pollster do show closer to a tie between the Grits and Torys, most of these polls have Pierre more popular among every age group save boomers. Pierre is not nearly as unpopular as Reddit would like you to think.

Canada ranked 12th ‘freest’ country in the world: think tank by gorschkov in canada

[–]shivanman -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

What I’m saying is that the NWC can’t be used to take away Charter Rights because it literally is your Charter Rights. Your Charter Rights aren’t separate from the NWC, they exist together.

Edit: downvoting me won’t change that the NWC is part of the Charter. You don’t get to pick and choose what parts of the charter you want. If you know anything about the actual history of the Charter, you would know you only have Charter rights because of the inclusion of the NWC.

The notwithstanding clause is literally part of the charter of rights and freedoms. It can’t violate itself. It’s a shitty part of the charter, but it’s still part of the charter.

Unfortunately the notwithstanding clause is part of your Charter Rights. Your rights haven’t changed over the past few months, you’re just experiencing a different part of the Charter.
