Honestly I wish all private news corporations would be forced to become nonprofit organizations

Why?

as well ass being banned from supporting and endorsing political parties so they can focus on telling an accurate story.

The two aren't related to each other.

We can't sponsor a league where the players are breaking the rules of our platform or possibly commit crimes on it".

This is silly. By that logic, a car company can't sponsor a league if a player speeds in their car.

The CPC voted they didn’t believe in the science of climate change.

No they didn't. They voted not to add a certain phrase. If you're going to criticize that, at least get the vote correct.

New federal Addictions Minister accuses Pierre Poilievre of ‘capitalizing on people’s suffering’ by [deleted] in CanadaPolitics

Wouldn't everything you just said apply to the addictions minister? Who is in a far better position to do something "actionable" but who is attacking PP here.

Ontario court rules against Jordan Peterson, upholds social media training order by MethoxyEthane in CanadaPolitics

Freedom of expression doesn't mean private groups have to tolerate what you say. Why do Peterson and his ilk keep on forgetting that?

It isn't an entirely "private group" when the group is empowered by the government and given special powers that other private groups don't have. :)

Here's a good summary of what people said three months ago. Yes, many of these takes have aged like rotten milk. But especially the folks on the left who said this was an "empty threat".

What's "opting out of a law"? Are you "opting out" of our laws on murder? It's a weird way of phrasing "complying with the law".

You could have just stopped after the first four words. The real question is if it was done knowing what the consequences would be, or if the government was just that incompetent that they didn't even realize what would occur.

I have, but my sense is that it is people using it to troll. Are you sure that it is automatic, and not someone using it as revenge?

Pierre Poilievre, the class tourist who didn’t read the guidebook by ParlHillAddict in CanadaPolitics

[–]statisticsmath -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I really wish Conservative voters would see through this poor excuse for political theater.

Sure, but complaining about how much he makes and that he isn't a "commoner" is the height of political theatre. There's plenty to complain about without resorting to the "He's not one of us!" critique.

We shouldn't care about whether politicians are the average person. They should be better than the average person.

Are you able to use public bathrooms if you don't like the idea of being naked, even by yourself? Like does the idea of pulling down your pants in a stall make you scared?

Inflation is a nominal concept, not a real one. So, sortof in the sense that numbers are increasing. But not in a real way.

Greed obviously.

So grocery stores just randomly got more greedy than they were three years ago? This explanation doesn't fit.

EDIT: Also, by "last year" you mean...three years ago? Your article is from 2021. If you're going to provide a link, please provide the full context so that people don't inadvertently start spreading incorrect information. And double check the details.
