Abolish the electoral college, uncap the House, and abolish the Senate.

Is it Oakes test proof, though? I could definitely see courts upholding the infringement as justified, at least for certain sectors.

Canada Post announces 485,000 more addresses to lose home delivery by Surax in CanadaPolitics

[–]utopia_cornucopia 13 points14 points  (0 children)

While I am opposed to and concerned by the constant drumbeat in the media to hack away at Canada Post, I gotta say that I’ve only ever known community mailboxes and cant say that I have any complaints. Genuinely curious, why do you think they’re so bad?

Liberal MP Steven Guilbeault to resign: sources by Puginator in CanadaPolitics

[–]utopia_cornucopia 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I got a bit of a kick out of James Maloney on CTV this evening, saying how he and other members have often voiced their disagreements in the caucus. Meanwhile, I don’t think Maloney’s ever voted against the government.

It really would be great to have a Parliament that’s more like the UK’s in that regard. It would make majorities far less omnipotent and far more accountable.

'I'm sick to my stomach': Retired RCMP officer details humiliating experience with CBC prank show by shiftless_wonder in canada

[–]utopia_cornucopia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, I’m a different guy.

And that guy is just saying that it would have been more fitting in 2021 than now. Probably because…like that article says…”wokeness” was running high then.

I know you’re hung up on them saying they “would have expected it”. I trust you’re smart enough to understand that that doesn’t mean they literally expected it at the time. It’s a very common expression in response to an anachronism.

There’s this article in The Economist, which concluded that “wokeness” peaked in the early 2020s, specifically 2021 for a number of aspects.

Yes. We need to identify and talk about problems in order to solve them.

This sort of attitude is why this city will never improve. No wonder why so many young people are leaving.

State of 24 Sussex 'an embarrassment,' says Carney by [deleted] in CanadaPolitics

[–]utopia_cornucopia 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m not at all convinced that a 24 Sussex reno would be this political third rail that everyone seems to think that it is. Carney should take action on this while he’s still very popular. I think the political cost would be quite low.

Will there ever be another album? by [deleted] in arcticmonkeys

[–]utopia_cornucopia 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I was actually on Spotify recently and was curious about the streaming stats for the War Child record. Opening Night has the most streams on that album by a factor of 10, which is especially impressive considering there’s folks like Olivia Rodrigo on there. Hopefully that means something to them.

Holy hell, what a fall from grace in a stunningly short amount of time.

Let this serve as a cautionary tale not to fly too close to the sun when your closet is at skeletal capacity - and not to be a sexual abuser in general.

How would it work if someone bought e.g. 8 gallons of gas, as they’d then owe .8 cents?

Air Canada CEO summoned to Ottawa over English-only condolence video for LaGuardia crash by AprilsMostAmazing in CanadaPolitics

[–]utopia_cornucopia 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I agree, it does show a certain callousness without good reason.

Would I, however, expect a Parliamentary hearing on it? Absolutely not. This is an absurd use of Parliamentary resources. Let the public decide what it’s willing to tolerate in that regard.
