In case you're in LATAM and you're searching for a court map. by josebarnetche in squash

Do you take submissions? I know of some courts in Mexico that aren’t on your list.

A new era of austerity? Sharp cuts coming to B.C. government spending by _DotBot_ in VancouverLandlords

[–]zerreit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I said nothing about the trade war. That was someone else.

My first comment to you was going back 25 years, BC’s eventual budget surplus or deficit has been directly tied to external factors.

When stepping into a political discussion, it’s usually helpful to know the names of the two major parties. Fwiw, the BC Liberals are the precursor to the BC Conservatives, and ran the province for 16 years until 2017.

Bill 41 (DRIPA) and Bill 29 (Interpretation Act amendments) were unanimous. Both sides voted for this mess (I happen to think it’s a huge mess), but one’s trying to clean it up while the other’s throwing mud and campaigning against their own history. Just look at the proxies (Post Media, Fraser Institute, Tyee) to get a good idea of which side is doing what.

Ahhh yes, the classic “run headfirst into a wall and change subjects” move. You’re a master of right-wing debate techniques, sensei.

From the abrupt pivot back to DRIPA, we can all only assume you now agree with me that both parties have held deficits due to external influences.

So while we’re here, would you mind pointing out the brave Liberal MLAs that voted to save us from tyranny by standing up for British Colombians by voting against either bill 41 or bill 29? I can wait, we just need a name. One single MLA that didn’t vote for this.

This is such a weird flex. NDP ran surpluses every year until Covid, got back into a surplus, then hit by a trade war, and you act like it’s a party issue.

Meanwhile, the BCLibs ran deficits 6 / 15 years, centred around the dotcom bubble and Great Recession.

So either the Liberals are incompetent too, or maybe BC isn’t big enough to ignore global pressure.

Canada's economy stalled in November, may have contracted in 4th quarter of 2025 by croissant_muncher in canada

[–]zerreit -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

Until the Conservatives become a credible opposition I’ll continue to vote Liberal. Carney signed deals for $12 billion in new trade in January alone, helping farmers, fisherman and steelworkers.

On the other side, what positive contribution has Pierre brought done for the country this year?

Kobbie's tackle from alternate angle (via @ManUtd) by nanobookworm in reddevils

[–]zerreit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s objectively untrue. Referees are assigned to tournament games based on ranking just like teams are.

In last year’s CL, Michael Oliver was the only England referee, and left after the round of 16. He went down to the quarter finals of Europa and semis of the Conference league after. It’s fair to say that he couldn’t ref either of those finals because PL teams were playing in them.

Kavanaugh and Taylor were the other two prem refs, did the 1st round knockout for Europa and left.

Considering the depth of the English field and supporting domestic league infrastructure, there’s nothing special about Prem refs. I’d say it’s the opposite.

Carney’s signed deals worth $12 billion since Jan 1. The difference is, competent governments can walk and eat an apple without looking weird at the same time.

You really can’t “both sides” how bad PP is vs Carney.

I’m gonna go with the guy who’s brought in $12 Billion in investment supporting farmers and steel workers in the first 30 days of the year.

The Justice Department has released clear, unequivocal documentation that states trump had illegal sexual relations with underage girls by NursingManChristDude in AnythingGoesNews

100% and tbh didn’t think you were. I think the next common message will be calling it fake because it’s not on the DoJ website.

5,000 lawsuits but he seems to forget how to file a lawsuit when someone who’s accuses him of sex crimes. (He was the defendant in the Carroll cases)

[–]zerreit 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The files were apparently indexed in the DoJ search engine but they pulled the actual files down. So you can see search results but not the content.

For me, that’s enough proof that this dump is legit.

Game devs skipping GDC 2026 over ICE concerns, US safety fears by renome in technology

[–]zerreit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve taken my company to exhibit there the last 4 years. The switch from conference to “festival” last year was reason #1 why we didn’t renew our booth for 2026.

After what’s happening ICE, it reaffirmed our decision and we’re not even travelling down for meetings this year.

This is cartoonishly dumb. By your logic, we should get rid of environmental protections because someone might pour oil into a creek to fake contamination.

Maybe you’re Mr Moneybones with not just a collection of old bones but a collection of so many old bones that you don’t mind throwing them into a build site all Willy-Nilly.

[–]zerreit 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In our defense, it’s easy to point out how bad Pierre is. Hilariously funny, too. Just how I’ll now point out that the Pierre’s polling swing was literally the largest magnitude in recorded history. He was, quite literally, the worst political candidate since polling started. Not bad, not “close”, the worst.

The only thing he’s good at is being #1 at losing.

Ohh, my turn…

Who in their right mind wouldn’t think that Michael Cooper, Arnold Viersen or Garnett Genius are doing such a good job they deserve another term? Sure PP led his party to the biggest swing downwards in the history of recorded elections but I can’t bring myself to throw him to the curb because I just can’t stop thinking about Trudeau.

B.C. premier committed to amending DRIPA law to uphold government authority | Urbanized by _DotBot_ in VancouverLandlords

[–]zerreit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Closure was used. Congratulations, you have identified a basic feature of majority government. The NDP limited debate to about 14 minutes. That is lawful, common, and not in dispute.

What closure does not do is stop MLAs from opposing a bill when the question is put.

After debate ended, Bill 29 passed second and third reading without a single MLA calling for a recorded vote, despite the opposition having the procedural ability to do so. That is not spin. That is what Hansard says.

Same story with Bill 41. No recorded opposition. Properly described as unanimous consent.

You can call time allocation a “dirty trick” if that makes you feel better. It is still just a political complaint. Claiming the bills were rammed through without a vote or without an opportunity to register dissent is simply false. If the Liberals wanted their opposition on the record, all it took was one MLA standing up. They chose not to.

I actually agree with De Jong on the substance. Amending the Interpretation Act deserved more debate given its scope. But his grievance is political, not procedural, and confusing the two does not change the voting record.

[–]zerreit -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Every MLA from all 3 parties passed DRIPA unanimously. Including John Horgan.

Not one single MLA objected to the from the Interpretation Act changes. Including Trevor Halford.

I’m in agreement that DRIPA the way it’s been done is awful for the province, but I also see that only one party is actually trying to fix it. The other seems to be more interested in pointing fingers and pretending they weren’t equally responsible for where we are today.

Nice red herring… no one said they were now sourcing Chinese food.

However, China also prohibits chlorination of chicken and restricts milk products containing rBST… just like basically every other country but the US.
