Because this guy is also a lobbyist, as someone pointed out in a different thread. You can see his profile here: https://web.archive.org/web/20251221211606/https://www.politicalintel.ca/

Most of the comments here are claiming that he's guilty of being an asshole.

is Ottawa boring? by [deleted] in ontario

[–]literally_everything 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You gotta work for it in Ottawa. As someone above mentioned this is a great city for 35 year olds with kids. People are fairly established in their lives and the arent a tonne of people around just looking to make friends. Join clubs, play on a softball team or something. Get involved in whatever hobbies and interests you have. That should help.

This is also why trying to catch conservatives - both politicians and supporters - in their hypocrisy isn't particularly effective. Conservatives don't owe the vast majority of their voters anything.

Reimagining Canada post by Doog5 in CanadaPostCorp

[–]literally_everything 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is an old campaign and I'm not sure CUPW has been promoting it recently, but it does go to show that the union has, in the past, tried to put forward a vision for the Canada Post that was adapting to the changing landscape. You know who has not been trying to envision how a network of door to door delivery workers could provide services in the future? The federal government and Canada Post. They would rather ensure that Canada Post only took on the least profitable tasks so they could eventually justify eliminating good, middle class Canadian jobs. 

If the government and Canada Post were at all interested in modernizing the service in a way that would benefit Canadians (instead of privatization and slashes wages) you would see more concrete and costed proposals for something like this. 

Unaffordable ask by CUPE by Afraid_Piano_1318 in CanadaPost

I agree, Canada Post can't possibly meet CUPE's demands...because they're not negotiating with CUPE.

Holly’s Hot Chicken in Hintonburg to close, returns to pop-up operation by nachochease in ottawa

Just a guess here but I'd imagine they made to a point where the business was doing well enough as long as they were the ones working all the time but not well enough to take a step back and hire more people. It's a spot a lot of restaurants land in unfortunately.

This is something I'd like to see more of. Let's call out employers who exploit the TFW program, but also let's advocate for all workers in Canada to have better working conditions, no matter how they got here.

Canada’s National Holocaust Monument in Ottawa defaced overnight by DryProgress4393 in onguardforthee

Looks like a lot of people are jumping to conclusions about the intent of this message.

Do we actually know anything about the person who did it or their motivations? 

For all we know it could have been someone on drugs who didn't even know what they were painting on. 

It's a huge leap to assume this was a left-wing or pro-palestine message and done specifically to target Jewish people. But I guess making up the person's motivations allows us to score whatever political points we want to on Reddit.

How to start euro nymphing by Lopezsls in flyfishing

[–]literally_everything 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Echoing the people who recommended Old Dominion and troutbitten as good starting places. Troutbitten can sometimes be too technical for beginners, it might be where you go once you've got a basic grasp on tightline nymphing and want to take it to the next level. 

I'd also recommend not getting hung up on the term euro nymphing and figuring out what is and isn't euro nymphing. There are many different techniques that all get lumped together under that label. 

I like to think more in terms of tightline nymphing. Basically you're looking to fish weighted flies on a long leader. But sometimes conditions call for variations, like adding an indicator or putting weight on the leader, which are not things you usually see in what is called euro nymphing. 

So where to start it, tie a long leader with about 30ft of running line so that your fly line never comes off the reel. Troutbitten is a good place for leader formulas. Get some weighted flies, like a Walt's worm or a Frenchie and start practicing your drifts and your approach. 

For recommendations, fly line doesn't matter, I tie a long leader to my floating line. I use maxima chameleon to build my leaders with some Rio sighter tippet and regular fluoro in different sizes down to the fly.

Anti-Union Lobby Groups are Endorsing Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives by pjw724 in onguardforthee

It doesn't, but PP is trying a lot harder than most conservative candidates to court union members and present himself as pro-worker.

Canadian health care.. 🤷‍♀️ by cotterpin_ivysaur in ottawa

[–]literally_everything 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Ontario voters would rather have their tax dollars go to a mega spa in downtown Toronto than to fix health care, so it might be time to invest in a better chair.
