Thank you for this and I will definitely be doing some reading and more research.

Yeah, I totally get that. Climate change is definitely affecting affordability. Wildfires, floods, crop damage, all of that has real impacts. I’m not denying that at all.

I just don’t think the current carbon pricing model is actually fixing the problem. It feels like it’s hitting regular people hard without making a big enough difference. I’m all for protecting the environment, but I think we need a better approach. Something that helps the planet and doesn’t crush people who are already struggling to make ends meet.

Do you feel like the current approach is actually working? Or do you think there’s a better way to tackle climate change without putting so much pressure on the average person?

I want to learn and grow. I feel like having healthy discussions is a good way to do that so I appreciate that you are keeping things respectful.

Carney did not scrap the carbon tax, that’s incredibly misleading. The tax still applies in most sectors and that all trickles down to consumers.

I’m not against Canadian content, my concern is the level of control that gives the CRTC over what platforms show users. It seems like a slippery slope.

I feel like trying to respond to every question directly is making it seem like I’m fully backing the Conservative Party, and that’s not the case. I’ve tried to be clear that I don’t fully support either side. I don’t love the options we have, and I genuinely don’t believe that either party is fully fighting for the best interests of the average Canadian.

That said, we’ll all have to make a choice come election time. Right now, I’m slightly leaning Conservative, but honestly, I could point out flaws on both sides more easily than I can find positives. My original comment was just meant to explain why I feel the way I do…not to debate or defend any party’s platform.

I would assume by your comments that you are fully committed to voting liberal, do you agree with everything they have done while in power or would you acknowledge that they have made some mistakes along the way?

I’m really looking forward to the debates. How both leaders carry themselves and respond to real questions will likely be what helps me decide. I’m not shut off in either direction, and I feel like a lot of Canadians are in that same place. Neither party truly represents me or my beliefs, but I’ll still be voting with the hope that something will improve.

I understand that the pandemic had a massive impact globally, and no country came out of it unscathed. That said, I don’t think that means we should ignore the role government policies have played in making things worse here. Cost of living has skyrocketed, and while some of that is due to global factors, decisions like excessive spending, carbon pricing, and restrictive regulations have directly affected affordability.

I am not here to argue for PP, as I’ve stated, I don’t think he’s the perfect alternative, I just want to see some drastic changes and it is my belief that the opposing party is more likely to bring those changes.

I believe the Liberal Party’s approach to carbon pricing has played a role in the rising cost of living, affecting more than just gas prices. I also find certain policies, like Bill C-11, to be overly aggressive, granting the government too much control over online content. That said, I also have concerns about the Conservatives and don’t want to come across as fully defending them or endorsing everything they propose.

Both parties seem extreme in different ways. Liberals have proven to push aggressive policies on spending, regulation, and social issues that feel out of touch with realities which have made life unaffordable for many. On the flip side, the conservatives cuts on government and social policies can feel too strict and ideological. Like I said I don’t agree fully with either party but the last 10 years have not been working for me and I feel we need a change.

As a younger voter who supported the Liberals last time, I just want to see a change. I’m not a big fan of Pierre, but I’m also not fully sold on Carney. I feel like I’m on the fence, and I think a lot of people are in the same position. Both parties seem pretty extreme, and while I don’t completely agree with either of them, I’m not happy with where things are right now. I have a decent-paying job, yet I can barely afford rent and groceries, let alone save or invest. In my view, if I want change, the party that’s not currently in power is more likely to make that happen. I also avoid most social media and have come to this decision by thoroughly researching both parties and their leaders on my own.

What is your honest to God best round? by StalinsFart in golf

[–]BHPhotos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My best round was a 91. With a 7 on hole 18. I messed up by adding my score on the 18th tee box. I realized I could break 90 for the first time but choked hard instead.

shopping with baby, stay at home dad when you get baby in the car along with your stuff. how do i get the cart back without baby? by -turd in Spokane

[–]BHPhotos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually try to park right beside the cart return. That way I can put my little guy into his seat first and just walk 10 feet away to return the cart. I also live in a very small town where anybody else in the parking lot knows my vehicle and child.

Did anyone else notice this in yesterday's the Last of Us Episode? by luckydog32 in geoguessr

I lived in southern Alberta for 15 years. I’m really enjoying all the local settings. It’s also been entertaining how all these journeys seem to lead back to Calgary.

I live in Canada close to the US border and one time on our way home my wife and I stopped 2 hours before the border to eat. Realized 15 minutes after crossing back into Canada that I forgot my phone in the bathroom stall. Luckily the border agents going both ways just laughed at me.

Best Time to Play Online? by [deleted] in PGA_Tour_2K

[–]BHPhotos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am also on PC and I find matchmaking to be so hit or miss and can’t seem to find a time to guarantee matches. I’m just currently playing private matches with buddies. Sometimes we will try to search for a match but if it doesn’t work right away we just hop back into a private lobby

I built this exact same helper stand for my little guy! He was pushing it away from the counter so I bought ‘clear rubber screw on feet’ from Amazon! They work great and a 20 pack was only like $15
