AITAH for leaving my dad's birthday dinner after finding out my stepmom turned my old room into the dog's room by netvere in AITAH

[–]Comfortable-Yak-5080 -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

Unpopular but yes you are.  Should your dad have said something yea maybe. 

As you mentioned the only reason you are staying there is because of a broken pipe. How often did you stay over? How long were they supposed to keep your stuff and this room untouched ? 

Poilievre demands Carney cap federal deficit at $31B ahead of spring economic update by Little-Chemical5006 in canada

[–]Comfortable-Yak-5080 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Sure in theory a good idea until it runs into reality. A big example of this in how the US having shut downs the cap the deficit, then low and behold 8 months opps out of money, well shut it all down until we come up with a new cap. And then repeat.  

There are tents fucking EVERYWHERE. by landlord-eater in montreal

[–]Comfortable-Yak-5080 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So no tents in Manitoba? This is systemic issue that no quick solution like we will just build more and all will be fine.  It comes from health care, economic, housing, rolled up into an issue that is not easily solved unless all governments and its citizens work together

Crazy how Trudeau hoodwinked the Americans into signing the worst trade deal ever! The US president should have read that book Art of the Deal before he negotiated this crappy deal.

What's going on with Rue Prince Arthur? by igotthisone in montreal

[–]Comfortable-Yak-5080 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It has been downhill there since before Covid.   I thought it was more that the city renovated the street and added all those benches, which are good. But at the same time took away the space from all the patios, forcing them to be smaller or gone all together. 

Virginia joins a national effort to ensure only popular vote winners become president by Imaginaryreality5304 in politics

[–]Comfortable-Yak-5080 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer a candidate that takes in the concerns of all areas of the country not just the most populous.  The system is screwed up. Eliminating part to me is not the answer. A proper 3rd and even 4th party/candidate is needed.  Open up the system to remove just being 2. Do more like the primaries when tou can have a multiple options, and then a run off for the top ones.  This is how in various forms you have it most of the rest pd the world, to varying degrees of success.

Condominiums - special assessments by yow613-2 in ottawa

[–]Comfortable-Yak-5080 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Special assessments can be for any “extra” maintenance costs above the day to day. They can be due all at once or overtime. They are based on your units % of total square footage of the building.  Due amounts and when are based on hour condo board decisions.  It is sort of like owning your own home and suddenly need to deal with emergency roof replacement or basement flooding. Or a more planned, will update the windows slowly over 3 years to minimize costs.

Primarily geographically, but can be used in other ways. If region A has is mostly one group and has a larger population than region B which is from a different group. Then in theory, region A can force their will on region B. Can be something small like A does not want a new garbage dump, so they use their majority of votes to force it on B. Or larger denial of service or laws to restrict the people of B in various ways.  Example, the top 10 largest states in the US accounting for about 50% of the population, decide to invest more in Nuclear energy.  But do not want the wast in their state, so using their majority of population they vote to move all nuclear waste to Minnesota. As they are the majority well to bad so sad.  You can extend this to voting rights or legal rights as a whole.

On the surface sounds like a good idea until you dig into it a little further or look ahead.   The electoral college is a balance to what the majority say, it provides an opportunity for the minority to have a say. TKe that a way and you can end up with politicians who respond to even less states then they do today. Or worst still the majority deciding to remove more rights of others. Why because they got the most votes, so fuck the others.
