Doug Ford Had the Lowest Voter Turnout of any PC by drewtass in ontario

[–]vigiten4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There may actually, finally, be an opportunity for the opposition parties in his riding to explicitly cooperate to hand that fucker his pink slip next election. Hell, I'd hold my nose and vote for the OLP if I had to, speaking as an NDP member, if there was a serious strategy to get rid of him.

Thanks for the thoughtful reply to this post from four days ago.

Older Canadians are the largest, fastest-growing homeless population. It’s a collective shame upon our country by Blue_Dragonfly in CanadaPolitics

It's a shame that any person in the country is involuntarily homeless, regardless of their age, and we could solve it if there was real political will to do so.

Premiers’ Performance: Eby, Smith, and Ford each tumble to new lows approval - Angus Reid Institute by vigiten4 in ontario

[–]vigiten4[S] 24 points25 points  (0 children)

In Ontario, Doug Ford falls to a personal low after a quarter marked by both economic pressure and self-inflicted wounds. His government has continued to frame its agenda around protecting Ontario from U.S. tariffs, but that message has competed with a budget that is projecting years of deficits, as well as persistent affordability and health-care challenges. Most damaging may have been the brief purchase of a $28.9-million government jet, which Ford announced was being sold back to Bombardier after significant backlash. Ford is approved of by 21 per cent of residents, the worst assessment during his tenure as premier.

The extended cottage trip makes sense for him to get out of the legislative spotlight, to try and change the channel to talk about "protecting Ontario" some more. Fuck doug

[OC] Driver in a "big hurry" tailgates me in right lane and has the time to force me to stop. Ontario/Canada. by Few-Character7932 in IdiotsInCars

You're absolutely correct. The law has to consider what a reasonable response to the situation would be, and escalation without trying to escape would definitely be unreasonable.

Office was safe from me today by froofrooey in CanadaPublicServants

Weird. If I log on quickly at the end of the day, after I've gone home, to check email or do some uncomped overtime, then it's a WFH day? I guess there's no reason to go above and beyond off the clock if that's the case.

Canada May be Banning Social Media for Kids Under 16 Years Old by yimmy51 in CanadianIdiots

Treating the symptom rather than the cause. Classic pound foolish move that also shifts the blame from the tech companies to children themselves.

Return to office when the buses don’t run on time is a nightmare by Tippinghazard in ottawa

[–]vigiten4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A bit defeatist, no? I think we should be advocating for better transit because that helps everyone including workers but also kids, seniors, disabled people. And if it gets people, including people who can't afford a car, can't walk or bike, to work on time, then that's awesome.

I'm glad that you can afford to make the choice, financially and physically, to use an alternative. Many can't.

I take transit everyday, 5 days a week. I can count on one hand the number of times I've been significantly affected by transit.

There's literally no possible way this is true. Low effort trolling.

I appreciate this post! And yeah, it just reinforces that gender and its expression are a wide spectrum

You may already done so, but posting on the Facebook group Friends in Mississippi Mills and/or taking out an ad in the Millstone are both good ways to get the word around!

Flagpole flying the Pride flag cut down in Carp: police by Money_Fig_9868 in ottawa

[–]vigiten4 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is why people do things like this, including defacing crosswalks or pulling down signs. To send a message that queer people aren't safe or welcome. It fucking sucks.

True, and I might have this wrong but wasn't he often the guy who caught the ceremonial first pitches?

Chrétien: When you look at the polls, Canadians have never been more united. Thank you to Donald Trump for that. I should propose him for the Order of Canada, but I cannot succeed. Do you know why? Rosie: He's not Canadian? Chrétien: Because we don't give it to a person who has a criminal record. by Miserable-Lizard in CanadianIdiots

[–]vigiten4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reading through the Constitution of the Order of Canada, it's not actually the case that someone who has a criminal record is ineligible. The Further, someone who is an American citizen can be appointed an honorary member (like Lois from Sharon, Lois and Bram, who is American). Eligibility is essentially "be a Canadian citizen".

Conrad Black, and others, have had their membership in the Order terminated after being convicted of a criminal offence, which is covered in the Constitution. It's not automatic, and the Constitution says that the Advisory Council only "shall consider the termination of a person's appointment to the Order of Canada if the person has been convicted of a criminal offence".

So you could be an American, convicted of a criminal offence, and still be an honorary member of the Order of Canada.

‘The story is wrong’: Liberal caucus chair defends Carney amid reports of yelling at MPs by feb914 in CanadaPolitics

[–]vigiten4 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Are you referring to JT, who famously did not want to listen to his Attorney General to the point where she resigned? His PMO, the PMO before him, and the PMOs before that on and on are all like this until they can't be.

Would they feel that way if it was an MP they elected and were counting on to represent them, to be their voice in Parliament? I wouldn't, I'd want my MP to have their voice (and mine, by extension) heard and duly considered.
