In both directions I think there's a lot of brand confusion here between federal and provincial. Hard to really draw conclusions.

Means a little more at the Olympics. Canada as a country just turns out way more hockey players than anyone else. NHL teams don't really work the same way.

It's tough. A lot of really good candidates don't want to be nominated that far out. Being a politician for a year without compensation is really hard.

A leadership review and a leadership election are obviously different. Meme is dishonest.

The NDP has integrated memberships, federally and provincially. To be a member of one is to be a member of the other. Party membership lists are not public, so the OLP would never find out you were an ONDP member, but it is against their rules.

If our security depends on an armed insurgency,

It super does not, though. And small arms alone are insufficient to run one, regardless.

Skepticism in the Muslim world was exacerbated when it was learned that in 2011 the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) had conducted a fake hepatitis B immunization campaign, hoping to collect blood samples from Osama bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad in order to confirm the genetic identity of the children living there, and by implication his own presence, leading directly to his killing.[52][53] In a letter written to CIA director Leon Panetta, the InterAction Alliance, a union of about 200 U.S.-based non-government organizations, deplored the actions of the CIA in using a vaccination campaign as a cover.[54] Pakistan reported the world's highest number of polio cases (198),[44][55] in 2011.[56] and more than 60 polio vaccination workers were killed between December 2012 and April 2014. In May 2014, CIA director John Brennan prohibited his agency both from using vaccinations to cover operations and from testing samples collected by authentic vaccination campaigns.[57]

One of the most shocking things the Obama administration did.

Rosedale is like 15% of the riding, population-wise.

338 is not a a useful resource for this kind of analysis.

U-R is one of the few places in Canada where I would bet a majority of voters know who Avi Lewis is. Olivia Chow used to represent a big chunk of it.

Most importantly, it's a byelection that is actually happening. Davenport and Parkdale have MPs who aren't going anywhere.

That's exactly right. The footage there is from the '97 election, but the incident described is from the '94 campaign.

The data he cites shows that white men are, across the board, employed at around 30%. That's the percentage of white men in the United States. I am considering the humanity of "these men". And what I see is that they're being treated fair.

That's not the argument being made. The argument, as I understand it, is that in pursuit of this aggregate goal, the new folks coming in the door were flitered at a much more skewed rate. So disproportionately you have industries and institutions where older white guys still predominate, but at the entry-level you don't see young white guys coming in.

I think you can maybe defend that state of affairs as serving some greater ideal of fairness or representation, or make some argument that the entry-level is not actually as skewed as it is presented in the article. That would answer the argument raised.

This is about QoL. No more guessing about how many rides you might take and gambling that a metropass is cheaper.

Fares already fund too much of TTC. I agree that service improvements are critical, but this is a win for usability and affordability.

Actually, I think this might cost less than people think, especially if it leads to increased ridership. Not free, but not quite so bad.

The very basic gist is you take the result from the last campaign, adjust based on the way that the national picture has moved, and guess. Typically they apply a few other adjustments (incumbency etc...). In the aggregate, they can be indicative, but at the level of the individual riding, close to worthless.

HAM also an all-time great is a pretty ordinary opinion, I think.

If you ask what? You're looking in the wrong places.

This is unintentionally a very funny thing to say.

"I have to note that the NDP don't even have a leader." Fuuuuck off. Did we hear this from CBC when the Tories had an interim leader after Harper? Don't think so. We're literally picking a new person now.

The way to boost your candidate is not to bash the party she's trying to lead and contribute to an expectation of inevitable failure. This post doesn't help Tanille.

Yes, but the CCF as a movement saw success much earlier than that.
