"We get democratically elected, and some judge slaps an injunction on bike lanes. Don't the judges have anything better to do than worry about if we're taking out bike lanes or not taking out bike lanes?" he said.

Now let's do some changing

"We get democratically elected, and some judge slaps an injunction on killing kids. Don't the judges have anything better to do than worry about if we're killing children or not killing children?" he said.

It had might as well read the same, because regardless all he's taking about is nonsense, as if laws aren't supposed to make sure elected officials aren't running away with their power. I can't stand this useless prick, and appreciate my own riding for voting NDP, but holy shit has the rest of the province (read: GTA) really fucked up.

Dammit, Ontario, why did you re-elect this guy again?

Because when Trump came into power this time around he started making a bunch of "no 51st state" hats, and the people love that support him love themselves a hat and didn't want to become a part of America, so he was the clear choice.

It didn't help that the provincial Liberals were trying to bring in Crombie (Ford Lite) and the NDP couldn't campaign themselves out of a wet bag. It was another abysmal turnout (sub 50%, I think it was 45%) and it seemed to be because he had a anti-Trump narrative at the time.

Everyone that votes for him seems to conveniently forget how he went quiet after his Maralago visit and disappeared back to his cottage until the election took place. They forget the period where he stopped posturing and disappeared.

I'd be lying if I said the castles weren't one of the biggest reasons for my interest. I spent the better part of the past year playing Kingdom Come Deliverance, and it's broiled an interest in that part of the world's history for sure. Your comment makes me feel like I'm making the right choice!

Alright but let's not forget that the Liberals were about to get removed from the face of the map when it was projected before Christmas.

The Conservatives were never going to be a non-factor, and only 4 months ago were looking to be sleepwalking into a majority. Luckily Trudeau stepped down and we got the result we saw tonight. Thankfully the CBC will live on.

Looking like she's doing well enough to be on the projected board, hope she can keep it up.

Been interesting to watch the seats swinging, it's going to definitely be close all night.

I'm curious how Polievre will do in his own riding, he is against a liberal Bruce Fanjoy who has actually done pretty well for himself and the early voting was counted first in that riding which had Bruce up a few votes so it'll be a matter of time to see how it actually goes since the early vote was said to be largely Liberal supporters.

Edit: oh my god he did it, he lost his seat to Bruce.

Hoping to visit your country in a year or so, any recommendations for places to see/things to eat the most? Always love getting an idea of someone's favourite parts of their home.

They're just as involved in the Arctic as Russia is, not to mention a lot of their illegal fishing in our waters. They've been just as involved in trying to put people in positions of power in our government, and have had their own CCP police stations where people can report on dissenters of the CCP on Canadian land.

This thread is so focused in other comments about how "America is just as bad if not worse of a problem for Canada!" And that alone makes me wonder how much Chinese propaganda is showing up on Canadian social media channels, even newer ones like Lemmy. The fact of the matter is that there can be multiple threats, and ignoring China just because the US is being a big, loud, scary threat right now is not what I want the leader of my country to be focused on. Carney has been doing well to bring up the problem of the US wanting our minerals, while also pointing out other adversarial problems focused around trying to open up shipping lanes through the Arctic in our land.

Which is twice as funny because consultants often cost more in the short term. It's mostly to avoid those pesky things like "benefits" or "pension plans" that employers need to take care of for their own employees.

I agree, we have that problem in more ways than one.

then they vote left for unfunded spending

Explain how the Doug Ford victory falls under this with his $400M spent on rushing the beer in grocery stores policy instead of waiting 6 months and getting it for free, or the proposed $800B highway tunnel under the 417 (which would likely be over 1T). I suppose I just don't see the left being the party of unfunded spending, because I don't think he's going to make the profits from this just by selling Ontario Place.

Maybe I'm missing something, but he ripped up a contract that was just recently signed. This seems to be related to existing contracts that are separate from the 100m contract.

It's tough to balance the worth for me on this one. Should we expect these communities to have to rely on internet when they are clearly so broken off, or should we be providing these services as infrastructure as a country through installation of cables to connect them (which would likely admittedly be tough with the distances through bushes).

I'd argue the best option is to continue funding this service separately, just to keep the users up north online for their court visits, while working on establishing our own service. I'd prefer if we didn't have to litter the skies with satellites for our solution as well, I don't like the amount of space junk above us currently.

At which point that would require funding from our government, and it looks like regardless of who gets in, we're going into austerity measures, so I won't be holding breath that our R&D goes into this service.

Tough one and unfortunately it looks like the north is going to be underserved. Which, also unfortunately, with the number of voters/people up there, is likely to continue as I doubt this will be a focus on people's voting decisions. Especially not 4 years from now when we have another provincial election.
