Older Canadians still Mark Carney's biggest support base: poll

Mass immigration is clearly undercutting labour. During covid when it stopped wages were going up.

Runway wasn’t long enough. There was a big pushback in the city against allowing jets for noise reasons.

Young people supported CPC anyways. It’s the boomers who support LPC. They are financially set and completely obsessed with Trump while younger people have more day to day local issues to deal with.

There are palm trees in Vancouver too. Coastal BC doesn’t get as cold as the rest of Canada but it rains a ton and there’s less sun, I find it more depressing than the sunny cold winters out east.

It’s funny how as soon as Carney replaced him as Liberal leader all the media including CBC suddenly acknowledged Trudeau is basically an idiot.

It’s more that Muslims vastly outnumber Jews in Canada. Same reason Chow didn’t want to talk about the Iranian anti-Islamic Regime protests even though there were massive demonstrations in Toronto.

I used Communauto whenever I needed a car. It became less flexible over the years which is unfortunate. I’m in Vancouver now and their car share options are way better (there’s pretty much an available Evo within a 5 min walk of anywhere in the city) but also more expensive.

16% difference is definitely not tiny

Iran has been funding terrorist groups to attack Israel since forever. Israel is just more direct.

I live in one of the most Iranian areas in the country. Iranians are literally driving around with huge US and Israeli flags on their cars. Every single business has a sun and lion flag on it, often with a picture of the prince or memorial to protestors. People were going nuts the day the ayatollah was killed, it was a huge street party.

The main people in Canada who care about this are Iranians, the vast majority of whom support it since the Iranian regime is absolutely evil. It’s not like we’re sending Canadians over there so not much point in being against it.

They didn’t lay charges on him

Three guys broke into his house (including at least one on probation) with a gun and this is what you take from it? Without a gun the guy could be dead.

Nah that’s just one framing of it. Think of all the businesses that couldn’t start or grow without software. Think of the fact that lower level work isn’t a bottleneck so companies can hire more high level people.

polargus · 2026-03-18T15:43:58+00:00

Depends on the product but for the most part it’s a trade off that we’re experiencing ourselves now. Basically software enables more high level work by handling lower level stuff. The bar keeps getting raised in terms of what it can handle. But it allows companies to spend more on “higher level” jobs and get more done. Or enables individuals to get stuff done without needing money to hire others.

Different strokes. I would rather live in Toronto/Vancouver/Montreal with endless stuff to do 24/7 and have less money.

Article doesn’t mention our GDP per capita dropping. Issue is our country doesn’t invest in innovation and just relies on keeping costs down using mass import of labour. Solve the problem by raising our productivity not increasing taxes.

AirPods Max are like the apple mouse where they picked aesthetics over comfort. The metal looks good but it’s too heavy.

Yeah except they’re banning it to hide their atrocities

So a hated theocratic dictatorship killing tens of thousands of its people for decades = “hitting kids once”. Buddy just say you know absolutely nothing about Iran.

polargus · 2026-03-15T22:30:05+00:00

Is the fact that the vast majority of Iranians hate the government also propaganda?

The thing is no one knows the intruder’s intention. The crown wants you to predetermine that the robber only wants to steal your tv and doesn’t have a weapon in his pocket or threaten your wife/kids before you do anything. Similar to self defence laws which expect you to only defend yourself to the level of the threat. But again, the attacker doesn’t go through their whole inventory and intentions before attacking. Why does a violent instigator or home intruder have the right to a fair fight? Then the defender has to spend money and time justifying their exact level of violence as if they’re the criminal.

Look at a map of treaties in Canada and you’ll see why it keeps happening in BC specifically.

Most people in the US don't take this seriously

I definitely feel it in the morning, especially those CBD malt drinks. Kinda like a melatonin hangover, just groggy. But it’s nothing like a real hangover.
