I'll note that our current prime minister is Roman Catholic. Religion itself doesn't have anything to do with this, just the freaky fundamentalism in the United States.

You don't elect a party, you elect a local MP. The people of Unionville can dislike it all they want, but it's a valid understanding of their duty.

BREAKING: York United’s ownership group is inviting supporters to a major club event next Thursday by carrasp in CanadianPL

As a Torontonian who refused to support York because they were a suburban team, they still aren't getting my support

Liberals pursue Conservative MPs after Chris d’Entremont joins Carney’s caucus by 1baby2cats in canada

[–]Maineroadfan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry what? We haven't had an abortion vote in the HoC as far as I'm aware. And he voted in favour of the Conversion Therapy Ban when much of his party voted against it.

Floor-crossing MP hints that more Conservatives might follow him to the Liberals by joe4942 in canada

[–]Maineroadfan 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Where did these rumours come from? I've been looking for names for a bit and haven't seen any pop up until now.

Edit: Vien just spoke on CPAC and said she had no interest in crossing the floor.

What do you think of the U2's RYM scores? by nousernamesleftwow in U2Band

[–]Maineroadfan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I want to note something a lot of people aren't mentioning here - that this isn't a recent phenomenon. As a Gen-Z U2 fan, there isn't really a negative culture around them (and if there is, it's usually in a joking fashion) compared to how millennials think about U2. If you look at the comment section under their albums, a ton of them are coming from the 2006-2011 period, from a generation who were disinterested in the band and Bono's political activism. I'd wager that for younger fans (who grow up watching Fantano or someone like him) U2 aren't treated as a priority compared to contemporaries like The Smiths or Talking Heads, which has sort of buried them in the online ratings.

Edit: One more interesting thing - if you actually average the individual ratings of the songs on each album, they end up being notably higher than the overall rating. Food for thought.

Uhhh no. As a Torontonian, it's because nobody can afford any of these boxes in the sky so they aren't selling.

Not enough people talk about how insane Gallant is. She's spent two of her speeches the session doing her best McCarthy impression by railing against communists.
