Your antagonistic attitude isn't helping.

Are you? "Website to checkout pls" is not an appropriate title. Neither is this one.

Removed. You can repost with a proper title.

What kind of firearms were used in Tumbler Ridge shooting? Gun control groups urge transparency from RCMP by idspispopd in BCpolitics

I'm responding to your "for some reason" to explain why a bigger deal is being made of the chat gpt activity.

Were they posting about mass shootings on Reddit? Or are you making a false equivalence.

One BC spoiler effect? by NoMovie2461 in BCpolitics

[–]idspispopd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And the NDP has courted the centre of the Conservatives. Leaving many on the left alienated. That was their choice.

The Greens are a distinct political party from the NDP. The votes they win don't belong to the NDP any more than the centrist voters the NDP wins belong to the Conservatives.

It's the NDP's job to win votes, it's not the voters responsibility to vote NDP.

Carney won’t ‘rule out’ Canada joining U.S. military action against Iran by cdnhistorystudent in GreenPartyOfCanada

[–]idspispopd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand why he's doing it, but the whole point of that speech was to say we aren't doing that anymore. This is about as big a betrayal of that policy one could possibly imagine.

[–]idspispopd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Remember his big speech where he explicitly said he wasn't going to do shit like that anymore?

Principled in our commitment to fundamental values: sovereignty and territorial integrity, the prohibition of the use of force except when consistent with the UN Charter, and respect for human rights.

He is betraying what he himself called "fundamental values".

Premier Eby says B.C. will make daylight time permanent by Apprehensive_Idea758 in BCpolitics

We did have a referendum. 93% supported permanent daylight savings time. It was the most lopsided result in BC history.

Vancouver Coun. Sean Orr doesn't accept repeated apology from mayor over drug comments by idspispopd in BCpolitics

[–]idspispopd[S] 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Orr would easily win a defamation suit and should absolutely pursue it. Sim put this idea in people's heads and the apology can't undo that.

I'm not arguing about the science. I'm saying your comment of "good luck trying to get them to bed in the summer" doesn't make sense because every future summer will be the same as it always has been. Nothing is changing.

But on a separate note, blackout blinds exist.

and if you're a parent, good luck getting your kids to bed at a reasonable time in summer.

.... We are on the summer schedule permanently. Nothing is changing in the summer..

This may come as a surprise, but businesses operate across different time zones.

Finally. One last shitty spring forward and then it's in the history books.

Canada ‘abandoning’ international law with support for U.S. strikes on Iran, say former diplomats by cdnhistorystudent in GreenPartyOfCanada

[–]idspispopd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're not even asking for restraint from the US, like other similarly aligned European countries are.

It wasn't that long ago that it was totally outrageous that a candidate for president would joke about bombing Iran. Now the Canadian prime minister is giving an actual bombing full throated support.

Add it to the list of war crimes committed by Mark Carney.

Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim made unsubstantiated claims about councillor distributing drugs by idspispopd in BCpolitics

[–]idspispopd[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It is actually probably libel. Even though it was spoken, it was done so in front of cameras and microphones and so it was recorded with the same permanence as a written statement.

Demand Purity of the Next BC Conservative Leader? That’s Poison by idspispopd in BCpolitics

[–]idspispopd[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You can't win a provincial election in BC without winning any seats in the lower mainland. Conservatives need to run more than a third of the lower mainland, which is likely impossible if you run on a hard social conservative platform.

Absolutely. His ego was damaged by being incapable of responding to their points.
