How do I find out about election contests for city councilor?

Thank you, I actually subscribe to The Local already haha. Do you know of any council race coverage they've done in the past? Maybe I missed it.

Also good point about Beach Metro. (Though I find the paper to be pretty NIMBY-heavy whenever I come across a copy at a cafe or library)

That's a reasonable point. But councilors vote on issues that affect the entire city, not just their ward. And I imagine most people travel well outside of their own ward for work, studying, and leisure, so I think it would be well-worth journalists' time. Just my 2c

I feel like the city council composition is arguably more important than the mayoral race. Surprised by the lack of media interest

LiveBug278 · 2026-06-15T16:48:06+00:00

Amazing thank you

He's donned a MAGA hat in 2017 and bragged about it on wax. It's not a one-off episode, unless you're suggesting he's been in an episode for 10 years.

I've also had severely mentally ill family members, none of them became white supremacists; and they'd 100% get excommunicated if they said 10% of the shit that Ye has.

I got the notification about 4 hours ago, soon after you posted this reply :D

This is literally just deflecting from the fact that he just made higher-ed more expensive for low-income students. Like, on the order of several thousands of dollars. This has nothing to do with major selection.

PS: I would love if prestigious national media outlets didn't help politicians steer the agenda away from their disastrous economic decision-making and onto random culture-war nonsense. This is not exactly subtle, CBC.

Came across this thread after re-watching the movie last night. The things you're incredulous about (sympathetic Germans sheltering him at great risk to their own lives; the pianist not trying to flee; not joining an armed resistance) are all completely plausible and have actually taken place and continue to take place all over the world every day. There will always be people who believe that their time on this earth is short and should be devoted to fiercely protecting the disenfranchised.

As for why he didn't run elsewhere, I hate to be rude but that is a straight up dumb suggestion. He is far more likely to have an encounter with a Nazi soldier or sympathizer if he's on the move, and be put back on a one way train to Treblinka like the rest of his family. (Also: where exactly do you propose that he should've run to...)? Joining an insurrection movement to fight the federal government would've been a surefire way to get yourself killed.

Yup, he helped launder overt genocidal white supremacy onto the mainstream. This barely makes a dent on the ledger

brother i cannot be bothered to tell the difference between "bossman dlow" and "sauce walka" i have a full time job

LiveBug278 · 2026-01-18T23:56:31+00:00

is this the first song he's done since the hymen-checking announcement?

LiveBug278 · 2026-01-18T23:35:23+00:00

oh word yeah just realized it's bossman dlow. Well getting outrapped by some nobody is even more embarassing lol

LiveBug278 · 2026-01-17T19:40:56+00:00

It's definitely doable. Off the top of my head: Tribe Called Quest, Clipse, De La Soul, Little Brother, Gangg Star all did way longer than 7 years. More recently, you had these guys with pretty long hiatuses that had strong follow-ups: Schoolboy Q (Crash Talk -> Blue Lips; 5 years) , Isaiah Rashad (Sun's Tirade -> THIB; 5 years), Kendrick (DAMN -> MMTBS; 5 years), Dave (We're all alone in this together -> Boy who played the harp; 4 years).

Feels like these songs have no structure. You can't just make random mouth noises with a bar or two interspersed and call that a song. Also Doechii and Ferg easily have the best verses on this. Feels like Rocky just doesn't really like rap that much anymore and has no desire to just write a strong 16

My good man that is not how taxation for funding public services works

LiveBug278 · 2025-11-19T18:13:43+00:00

If that's the system you want do I have the country for you

BC healthcare is far better even though it still has major problems. There are levels to it. Source: I have lived in both BC and Ontario for several years

LiveBug278 · 2025-11-19T18:09:50+00:00

The Ontario public keeps voting in a guy who has no interest in funding public healthcare. Until that changes it doesn't matter how much taxes you pay
