If you don't eat the brain you'll have a much much lower risk (your link suggests about 9x less likely), and if the person you eat wasn't a cannibal then your risk is lower still.

Also worth mentioning that Kuru is a specific disease for natives in Papua new guinea , and it only existed for about 100years and was going away on it's own when the cannibalistic practice was outlawed.

I think the health risks of cannibalism is very exaggerated.

(this is not an endorsement of cannibalism)

I would bet the other quarter would be the most likely to be influenced by misinformation.

can he purge himself?

A lot of good things happened for the CPC under PP (unfortunately for the rest of us). Trudeau had to step down, the carbon tax is gone, the CPC gained seats and secured a record number of votes and the "far left" has been wrecked. While the liberal narrative is that PP fumbled a huge lead, I think cons see it more as carney resetting all the work PP did to discredit Trudeau, as trump interfering with the election (for his own gain, they think Carney is weak and will fold to trump) and they see the polls tightening as the election got closer (and him out preforming them) as a sign of PP's success. They think Carney will show his true colours soon enough and become as unpopular as Trudeau, allowing PP to win.

O'toole didn't acomplish much of anything during his time, the CPC mainly stayed the same or slightly declined despite liberals being steeped in controversy.

Sheer one his leadership race by a very small margin while the CPC (and right wing politics in general) was having an identity crisis, while they gained ground under him they did not make the strides they expected. Sheer also had that financial scandal.

I think PPs perceived performance is much closer to Harpers first loss. but even that isn't a great comparison IMO we are in new territory, exciting times and all that.

Disclaimer: I voted green, when I talk about good or bad here I'm putting myself in the shoes of a conservative voter, and I'm talking about perception as the right wing sees it, not necessarily fact. Their feelings don't care about your facts :D

Houses are expensive even in bumfuck no where and the point of modular buildings and wartime measures is that it drops a large amount of the bureaucracy without compromising on quality like deregulating would.

I agree zoning and sprawl are problems though, there isn't as much the feds can do about it as it's more a provincial and municipal concern. The planned high speed rail (a Trudeau thing not a carney thing tbf) along the toronto-montreal corridor should help somewhat reduce the sprawl. As someone who lives an hour east of Toronto, I do wish it was planned to extend to me.

Both the ndp and the bloc are pretty weak now, they'll need quite a bit of time to fundraise, for ndp to get a new leader and to figure out a response to carneys new governance style. Both of them need to be willing for an election to happen before it will happen. I think this will be a fairly long minority government unless carney does something truly awful or there is yet another change in the global order.

The Crown corp and modular homes seems like a pretty great way of adding a lot of affordable homes. I just hope the government lasts long enough for it to actually kick off. It's not perfect and it doesn't solve capitalism, but it will help if executed well.

If I were to bet, I'd say we'll see the effects just in time for an election, and cpc will take over and take the credit.

I agree with him on this one. Leopards meet face.

This is the same logic right wingers use to suggest liberal voters are communists.

Pp did not resign and indicated he would keep going

So about 69% of the voters elected 169 liberals? Nice.

A coalition is not the same as a minority government, there has only ever been 2 canadian coalitions. It's pretty unlikely that will happen.

I think a minority supported by BQ will be good for the environment, significant tightening on immigration, probably liberal agenda otherwise. the BQ is much more closely aligned with Libs than CPC, as I think Blanchet made clear in the english debate. A LIB+NDP+Green isn't totally out of the question right now, probably also good for the environment.
