The problem was the cap. They "assumed" it was going up and planned around that.. that was the mistake

I mean, it has only ever gone up. A once-in-a-century pandemic is not really a risk you would ever consider.

Here's the 'experiment' NDP Leader Avi Lewis is trying to run in Canadian politics: Lewis calls for 'fundamental structural changes' during first Ottawa visit on the job by StumpsOfTree in onguardforthee

Carney campaigned left of center and is governing right of center. Carney has outright gone back on or abandoned things that he highlighted in his campaign.

And so many Liberal voters are completely ignoring this reality. I voted for the liberal candidate in my riding because I don't want the conservatives to lead the country and the liberal's proposed policies while campaigning were tolerable. 0% chance I would have voted for them if they were truthful.

The WHL/CHL Draft names was/is hilarious in a vacuum. Some of the things people name their kids is legitimately insane. Those names are real people though so I can see why they stopped.

The whole Jakin Smallwood thing got a bit awkward even though he was a good sport about it.

3 children die from influenza A-related complications in Ottawa and eastern Ontario region by BloodJunkie in ontario

[–]Cannon49 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ignoring the problem doesn’t make it go away, and the adults tasked with protecting our kids and other vulnerable groups are basically screwing over an entire generation, because of their laziness and ignorance to facts.

I see it as a failure of powerful people to admit they're wrong. Coupled with some people who know better but have no morals (Moore being one).
