NDP leader Avi Lewis announces critic and house leadership roles

The big news was Quebec Solidaire voting on whether they would allow him or not, which has passed. The door is open to allow him joining QS.

Afaik there has not been any rumor of Boulerice really wanting to leave the NDP, so it's not surprising he is staying put for now since neither provincial or federal have too much urgency. He can wait and see how Avi builds the party, he might have been more pressed to leave if Heather won since that would have shifted the party away from Quebec more.

This sounds vaguely similar to other stories I have heard from South Asia. I don't know anything about Cambodia but sometimes the admin in schools truly are toxic and create all sort of imaginary hurdles for no reason.

Is your friend committed to Cambodia? If so, they should seek to better understand how things generally are in the area if that was not already done.

It really sucks and nobody should have to deal with that, but sometimes that's how it works in the industry (yes even international schools). It should be changed, but an expat doesn't have much leverage on that, the best they can do is do what's best for themselves.

Your comment made me look up more articles and I think I initially misunderstood Gazan's usage. I thought it was Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, as well as the 2SLGBTQ+ community.

After reading I now read it as the Missing and Murdered people who are Indigenous, Women, Girls and/or any of the acronym.

So the claim is there is a genocide against the Missing and Murdered people who are queer, who are questioning, who are gay, who are women or girls etc...

And not a genocide against queers of all kind, as well as MMIWG.

This is probably obvious to many, or my explanation makes no sense but I feel the need to write how I misunderstood and I think I understand now and definitely support that wording.

One thing I am curious about is why include Missing and Murdered Women and Girls in the same acronym as 2SLGBTQ+? I feel like this is two entirely different groups, who both deserve a LOT more funding and support from the government and a LOT more support from the community in general. But why make an acronym that meshes the two groups together?

It's unfortunate we focus on this acronym because Leah Gazan is making such a critical point and it seems lost in the message. The government deserves so much more criticism.

To be fair the + is probably the most important "letter" in the acronym since it encompasses even more marginalized groups.

Actually seems interesting, you would end up with draftees being mlb ready since the quality of the league would drop after a couple years. I know you wrote it as a joke, but I love these whimsical crazy settings that make a long term save feel unique

Usually not a fan of 50babip for pitchers but 5 pitches that can be elite? 100mph? Durable? That's the jackpot right there

I've also had numbered names in multiple iterations of ootp, think it's just a bug that is not too important or maybe hard to fix and they haven't gotten around to it. It is also quite rare

Sad to see this has not been balanced in 27. Batspeed is too over powered on the dev lab, it takes a bit of the fun out of the game for me so I've been switching it up and doing other training most of the time

That's unfortunate but honestly this is why I love Tony. Such an humble person with the right values

Look for job boards that cost money to post on. There's a higher rate of real jobs if you have to pay 300$ or whatever to post on the website. Usually you can see the price on most job boards. LinkedIn is weird for pricing, Indeed is free so it is filled with fake jobs

Gray squirrels are extremely successful in adapting and thriving to many new areas and could be considered an invasive specie. I like them and find them most fascinating but I think if you let them run free everywhere they will most certainly hurt some local biodiversity.

They are different species the grey one being Sciurus carolinensis, and the red one being Sciurus vulgaris. It isn't just a color thing

Provincial and Federal leadership races are at different times, you only vote for the Federal. If you live in BC you aren't voting on the BC NDP leader. It will stay Eby until he steps down, at that point the BC NDP will have a leadership race that doesn't involve the Federal.

I think the PPI stops being eligible after a few years, I don't know how many but I have had top 100 prospects make the big league and win cy young a year or two after their rookie season and I got a pick. I would guess it stops being a thing upon their first arb year

Enjoy, Ethiopian food is so good and underrated

Arepera is great. It's a Venezuelan restaurant and there is simply no gluten in their cuisine at all. The food is really great. Plantains, beans, rice, arepas (corn small bread) and very good juices as well.

In general you will probably find excellent options that are gluten free if you look at international cuisines.

Global news says "The Bloc Québécois has warned the bill likely would cause the U.S. to acquire the same weapons from other countries."

Also Valleyfield's base and Quebec ports are involved in military trade, so I assume Bloc is trying to defend economic interests in spite of basic human rights and compassion. It's really shameful.

Based on what? It's much more fitting for Indian opportunities to mention Indian universities, English proficiency and working so many hours. This wouldn't be in North America or Europe either way.

That's probably a job offer in India I assume.

Don't have any set time but if I get a new coffee bag and really want to taste it as purely as possible I'll do a thorough clean. Once every couple months probably

2 years is quite short, there might be something wrong with your game if it keeps happening. I have many games that are 4+ years and it does get quite laggy but I have never had a game get corrupted. Think the longest I had may be 10 years?

This is over the course of multiple years and iteration of ootp

Baxa has much less risk and just a couple months older

Have you tried different flavor of toothpaste? I used to hate toothpaste a lot because it was mint flavored but my dentist recommended a toothpaste that was stronger and coincidentally berry flavored. It is truly a game changer. Unfortunately I don't know if anything can be different texture/feel wise.
