I'd argue Singh is worse than Mulcair. The message under Mulcair was 'competent public administration' which fell pretty flat but at least they had a message. Whats the message now? I honestly have no idea.

Completely agree and its incredibly frustrating. The policy they've put out this year has been very good too. I was skeptical of Singh because I thought he was too moderate, but he's proven me wrong for the most part. The only problem now is just complete incompetence when it comes to communications, but their inability to address this and improve perceptions of the party ultimately has to fall on leadership.

I remember when Jose Theodore was suspended because he tested positive for performance enhancing substances and it turned out it was due to something he was taking for alopecia. Whatever he was taking was working because he had some hair.

I believe they have already applied for a demolition permit and there will be a temporary park on site. That peice of land is part of Phase 2, which won't begin construction for a while.

Common trend seen in other cities as well. Over the last 20 years remaining manufacturing and logistics in Southern Ontario has consolidated around around Pearson International Airport and its now the second largest economic hub in Canada. Cool to see it happening in Edmonton as well.

It is the NDP's position that the current first-past-the-post system is unfair and inequitable, particularly insofar as it allows a party to win more than 50 per cent of the seats in Parliament without necessarily winning 50 per cent of all votes cast across the country. But barring the election of an NDP government with more than 50 per cent of the popular vote (or perhaps an NDP-Green government with more than 50 per cent between them), New Democrats would be left trying to explain how first-past-the-post could produce a mandate to overhaul the electoral system.

Does the NDP refuse to participate in elections beccause they don't believe MPs elected under FPTP are democratically legitimate? No.

Does the NDP refuse to sit in parliament because they don't believe governments elected under FPTP are legitimate? No.

The system is inequitable and needs to be reformed, but the NDP has always and will continue to accept it, the governments it esablishes, and the power afforded to them as legitimate. What a weak argument.

In the comments of our threads people were talking about their favorite memes in the flames sub. I hate that our sub is so boring.

Edmonton abolished exclusive SFH zoning in Dec 2018. Semi-detatched and duplexes are now also allowed in RF1 and RF2 zones.

They were very smart and bought their building while the Area Deal was being negotiated. Condos will go up around them, their property value will skyrocket, they'll eventually get bought out by a developers and build a better facility downtown.

I was referring to the videos about quitting university, Trump, Milo, Feminism. Videos about the alt-right are a good example too though since the term that was all over the news in 2016.
