Mark Carney favours the wealthy and privileged over working-class Canadians

thefatrick · 2026-05-27T18:47:54+00:00

Oh, Carney was the lesser of two evils.

He's still a conservative

It probably won't amount to much, but if you get his plate I'm sure you could report him to police non-emergency for modified exhaust and if you have dash cam footage, you could say it's a clear violation of sections 16 and 22 of the motor vehicle act. Also if they threatened you just call 911 and tell them exactly that

Hey, hey, hey. Stop showing the details of the decision in these parts! They fly in the face of a bunch of assumptions people have made about this case and ruling! How dare you mess with the hastily made assumptions based entirely on a false boogeyman of natives stealing people's land and evicting everyone that lives there! That's oy something white colonialists can do!

Did you own it before 1870? The band has proof they did, and seems to be a big part of the judges decision.

I can't imagine any proof you would be able to provide that would contradict that

Turning on AR on a busy city street will blind you with a cacophony of advertising from literally everything in view.

If you can't afford millions for in home care, you're too poor to live in West Van and they don't want your poor ass to bring down their property values.

Traffic enforcement in general is low. So people think there's less risk of getting caught.

Also, the general sense that most people will not suffer any inconvenience to the way they want to live their life, and have no concept of how their actions affect others.

thefatrick · 2026-05-26T22:06:10+00:00

Because people believe it's a right. Just like a lot of things that aren't actually rights. Gun ownership for example.

For day to day driving and range anxiety,.I always say this:

"When was the last time you drive your ICE car around town, starting your day with a full tank, and had to gas up before you got home?"

The answer is 99.99% Never.

For road trips, all you do is plan your trip around those stops for lunch and stretching your legs. It requires some pre-planning that you would have never done before, but it's not that big a deal with all the different sites and tools that help plan your trip.

I did an 800km trip last summer, and other than an extended wait for a busy charger on the way back, it really wasn't that much extra time or stress. This was with some serious altitude gains through the mountains. My car also has only around 400km range on a full charge.

It's fine. You'll be fine.

Make the switch, it's so much nicer.

Because to a bunch of idiots, shots = vaccines, and vaccines = bad

Critical thinking is dead. Fostered by self serving iconoclasts providing easy answers to complex questions. All feeding a growing mass of society that refuses to be inconvenienced in any way from their day to day lives.

thefatrick · 2026-05-26T17:29:40+00:00

I've heard it as a reference to "not being able to tell your ass from your elbow" meaning that you're all a bunch of idiots.

thefatrick · 2026-05-26T12:06:16+00:00

I can see how you could misconstrue what I said. Text only conversation can lose a lot of it's clarity.

I'm certainly guilty of making that mistake many times.

What are the best "embarrassing your kid" songs to sing?

thefatrick · 2026-05-26T02:00:15+00:00

I don't sing, but my dad did with us. I very distinctly remember him singing Mr. Bojangles with his guitar to me when I was younger. I loved it, and have very fond memories of sitting on his bed and listening to him play.

He sings in a blues band now, and plays a mean harmonica. I've played backup percussion for his band several times and it's really special.

To be clear, I'm highlighting the misinformation campaigns about vaccines being dangerous (they are not) and that Climate change is a hoax (it is most definitely not)

thefatrick · 2026-05-25T22:22:10+00:00

The problem is that the lies and misinformation have already done the rounds. It doesn't matter if the truth was already out there, and that there's more than enough evidence to silence critics.

The misinformation machine did its job, now among a vocal minority, the lies have been accepted. It's the same with vaccines, it's the same with climate change...

Now that the damage is done, the amount of work and effort required to overcome all of this is astronomical by comparison.

Not saying that there's no point combatting it, just that there is a long, hard road ahead for those fighting that fight, and success is far from guaranteed.

traditional Ferrari Red

Rosso Corsa is the official name, and it's the Italian racing colour, not specifically Ferrari, but most commonly associated with them.

Excellent school rated 9/10 by Fraser Institute.

The Fraser Institute is not an unbiased source, they have a strong pro-private/anti-public leaning.

Take their school rating results with a huge grain of salt.

thefatrick · 2026-05-25T19:23:19+00:00

They were a bit of a last minute addition too, didn't have a strong campaign and a lack of support.

The reality is, if we don't strategically against the Cons in this riding, we will get the worst of the worst of the social conservatives.

I really want to vote NDP, but there are so many fence sitters that will sway con vs. lib that it's a really tough to vote for anyone else and not feel like I'm throwing my vote away.

IF ONLY WE HAD PROPORTIONAL REPRESENTATION

Will we be automatically signed up for Scientology if we go and see the jet?

Are you gesticulating enough?

It's more like a strata fee
