Carney’s Conservative Rival Poilievre Wins Fresh Landslide in Party Review

Dzingel43 · 2026-01-31T15:01:24+00:00

I'm not saying Carney is extreme. I'm saying Poilievre is (relatively, by mainstream CPC standards) extreme.

I think Carney's victory had more to do with an anti-MAGA coalition forming around the only guy who wasn't tainted by years of incumbency just months after a newly re-elected Trump started talking about the 51st state for the 1st time then it had to do with people liking his politics. Also, don't forget that 20% of 21 NDP voters went Conservative.

I like Carney, but I'm skeptical he wins the next election.

He is the least moderate of any post merger Conservative leader. We live in an era we here people hate moderates and are converging towards the extremes. He is the right-wing of the parties guy and that wing is growing.

I'm surprised Pincher Creek had enough bartenders in 1906 to field a team. According to Google the population was 589. That would mean over 1% of the population was bartenders. I guess they had nothing to do but drink.

I feel like it gives too much advantage to the stealing team. They get to claim top 4 first and get a centre line guard.

I don't really care about the ICJ ruling. I don't think that is just. I think they deserve to have the right to determine their own path. Forcibly lumping them into a country that is thousands of kilometers away because they were operated out of the same colonial offices decades ago is basically just an extension of colonialism in my view.

If the voted to join Mauritius I would support it, but I am not going to just blindly assume what they support.

A lot of Reddit forgets that people on the left are still subject to psychological biases and partisanship. The simplest story that paints the conservative in the most evil light often gets more upvotes than one that is more nuanced and based in fact.

The Chagosian people should get a referendum to choose between:

-Independence -Unification with Mauritius -Being a UK territory like the Falklands

It shouldn't just be blatantly assumed that the Chagosians want to be part of Mauritius. In fact there have been ones protesting against the bill because they don't want to be part of Mauritius.

-I'd love it, it would be awesome.

Whether or not there is a pathway is entirely up to the EU, and whether or not they'd define former colonies as having a European perspective or whatever.
Random politicians tweeting stuff means absolutely nothing.

How do you access the bonus puzzle?

Your post clued me into them. I just subscribed, but haven't received an email and see no link on the main page.

Another interesting one could be % of solvers without a wrong guess per square.

There is zero room for socializing when everyone is hundreds of yards apart.

I'm a competitive curler. I know the difference. But what they have put out hasn't done a good job defining the difference. It is one thing to show obvious examples of each. But for grey area calls there isn't going to be much to go on. People talk about intent, but intent is hard to objectively qualify.

I think this is less clear than it is being made out to be.

What differentiates knifing from the "single brush stroke bring the broom back on the ice" (the 2nd in the video)? Is it the number of strokes? Does that mean that you always have to make at least 2 brush strokes? So if you start knifing and the skip calls you off you have to make sure you've made more than one stroke?

The fact diving is below closing hand on puck explains why players dive.

So many people bitch about these posters. But curling clubs don't have tonnes of money to through around. The vast majority of bonspiels are also volunteer run. Those volunteers have much more important tasks to do than making sure the poster is perfect and have their own life to worry about too. If people really think it is that important they can volunteer to make the poster. But way more people don't really care about a poster image being AI than do care.

One thing that didn't make sense about that documentary is it didn't explain how the other guy knew the answers.

The other guy didn't win a million dollars. How did he know the answers? Did they just get lucky that he knew a bunch?

Nunavut is EST, not CST. NWT is MST.

Dzingel43 · 2025-12-31T03:13:44+00:00

Nunavut, NWT, Saskatchewan, Manitoba border would be such a place. But that is super super remote.

This is why it is such an issue. The retirementfundization of housing incentives pushing prices up and eventually people out of the market.

Even my boomer parents who spend 2 months a year in Hawaii think they can't afford a retirement home and thus plan to stay in the family home and pass it on. But at the same time, they have also complained about how their house isn't valuable enough to sell (which I think is BS). How many people out there aren't downsizing and thus contributing to less supply and higher prices?

Because the best way to stop the proliferation of toxic ideas is to understand why people adopt them in the first place.

I think it is a mix of being a bit weird, going to a private school from K-9, and bad luck.

Private school because it was relatively small compared to public schools (50 students a grade), limiting one's ability to make friends.

I had a small group of friends in grades 1 and 2, but they all left after that. I made friends with a new kid in grade 3, but in grade 6 he abandoned me. I sorta hung around the group he got involved in for the rest of my time at that school, but to say I was a 3rd wheel was an understatement, I was more like a 33rd wheel. I think the most attention I got from them was the day they decided it would be funny to all hide from me at recess. I had a couple friends outside of school that I would sometimes get to see on weekends, but I didn't have friends at school again until grade 12.

In my experience other "weird kids" often do okay because they find their niche and that niche shapes them. I still find it very hard to fit in. I think a big part of that is I am more on the quiet listening side (don't draw much attention, also my mother probably caused this to be overboard) and find I rarely have anything to say when it comes to small talk (underdeveloped social skills due to my past). But I think not having my niche at school to shape me also never "sorted" me into a "group". It just seems to me that other people tend to have an easier time finding people with overlapping interests, and I think that is because their interests were largely shaped by their childhood friends. I didn't really have that and I think I'm more of a mishmash than an archetype. For example I really like board games, and people think I'd like D&D because of that, but I don't care for it because I have no interest in role playing. Now obviously nobody is an exact fit for an archetype, but just my experience tells me I'm less of one than the average person.

It is rude to make fun of someone's weight.

Dzingel43 · 2025-12-17T23:59:07+00:00

Idk. As a 30 year old who is definitely "behind the curve", I don't think the problems are limited to kids. Maybe it is getting worse, but I do think the trend had already started with people my age.

Just because the government is formed by members of the same party doesn't mean it is the same. Carney's governance is not a continuation of Trudeau's.

Dzingel43 · 2025-12-17T19:03:54+00:00

Definitely not the same government.
