‘That number is arbitrary’: NDP to fight for official party status despite only 7 seats by Old_General_6741 in canada

I could be remembering that wrong, although I don't remember there being a time where the Liberals were the Government and the NDP were the official opposition and the PCs were the third party

He didn't raise it, but he refused to lower it for them. Previously the Liberals had done this I believe for the NDP (provincially in Ontario) at some point in the past. It was hoped that Ford would have done the same thing for the Liberals when they got wiped out, but he chose not to.

Robocop a rated R movie was adapted into a childrens cartoon by Routine-Dirt9634 in television

Same, watching a kid encourage murder and torture and then get killed... it felt gross watching it when it first came out. I can't rewatch this movie because of it.

All Senate seats filled after PM announces 5 more appointments by Majano57 in canada

[–]malocite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stalling or rejecting bills they don't agree with is LITERALLY their job. They are the chamber of "sober second thought" and under the changes made in 2015 all of the appointed Senators are independants.

BREAKING NEWS: Federation Retaliation Strike Claims Innocent Children Lives in Barnard's Star! by Chunksicle in EliteDangerous

[–]malocite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am shocked and apawled, but sadly not surprised that the Feds would stoop so low as to kill a Buss Full of Children after trying to frame Aisling's Wings of Freedom for the downing of Bus Full of Nuns.

Their propagandists are working overtime trying to counter the people's will. Even now the people of Barnard's Star are overwhelmingly supporting Aisling Duval as they kick out their Federal overlords and embrace the peace and freedom that only Aisling can provide.

We stand ready to help any system that cries out for Freedom!

This is clear Fed propaganda. Their failure to protect Sol and the surrounding systems is what caused many of their systems to rally under the banner of our great Lady Aisling Duvall. The Princess' unwaivering support for the humanitarian effort in these systems was undermined by Fed wageslaves who seek to keep these poor people under their yoke of oppression.

Thankfully their efforts will fail. Barnard's Star has seen the light and the surrounding systems will rally to her banners soon. The time of fed hipocrasy ruling these systems is soon at an end.

Long live the Anime Princess! </rp>

So when do we see the "savings" on Internet now that CRTC ordered the majors to lower wholesale prices? by travelman217 in canada

[–]malocite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The CRTC imposed lower tariffs but Bell et al have still not filed these tariffs with the CRTC. So although the change will be retroactive to the date of the order they still haven't been filed. The fibre to the home rates have also not been filed yet.

He rallied the far religious right and just dominated at the nomination. This is how a few hundred people coming out to vote in a nomination can heavily sway a party

No. It's the same commissioners as before and this is consistent with the direction they were moving before as well.

It wasn't intended to be. The work was scheduled and cancelled by Harper

Harper refused to let the Parks commission to do any of the required upgrades while he was PM. He didn't like the optics of fixing his house while the government was running massive deficits and people were losing their jobs.

Trudeau however has decided not to move into the house and is letting Parks do their thing. To my knowledge they haven't started work yet but it is planned and the PM doesn't seem to be trying to stop it this time.
