The vote split is maddening, this should not be a Conservative vs Green race.

There's a "weight your results" button that let's you indicate how much you care about each question.

the CCC and Euclid (math equivalent) were both hugely inspirational to me. They showed me what real math and real computer science was like instead of the arithmetic and programming classes I took during regular school. I didn't do particularly well, and I don't think it's really a good predictor of university performance but I would be really sad if they could no longer exist because of some script kiddies.

Canada rank 31 in potable water. Not great but notable countries with worst ranking include:

Yeah but here is too small to meaningfully impact anything.

Best you can hope for is to build a reddit community and then offload them here (or discord as an intermediary) to actually talk freely.

6-8 are proportional too (Netherlands, Norway and Luxembourg - the latter of which allows noncitizens to vote!).

9 is Switzerland which has a 2 round run off system + some direct democracy.

10 is Australia, a run-off system

11 and 12 are new Zealand and Costa Rica which are proportional

13 is Kuwait which has Single Non-Transferable Vote (like fptp but with multiple winners)

14 is austria, with another 2 round system.

Most of them also have compulsory voting.

The next electoral system that isn't at least partially proportional or 2 round run off is the UK at 20. The southern facists are at 23, much higher than I expected to be honest.

Here's the full ranking, they use a 3 year rolling average.

Gallup polling data from 143 countries for the past three years, specifically monitoring performance in six particular categories: gross domestic product per capita, social support, healthy life expectancy, freedom to make your own life choices, generosity of the general population, and perceptions of internal and external corruption levels.

In order to properly compare each country’s data, the researchers created a fictional country—christened Dystopia—filled with “the world’s least-happy people.” They then set Dystopia as the rock bottom value in each of the six categories and measured the scores of the real-world countries against this value.

It's been 10 years, people have short memories and he is surprisingly popular among young men who weren't politically conscious then.

I live in the downtown of a small city with a relatively large homeless population.

Doug ford removed safe injection sites because a school for adults had a built in daycare nearby. I used to never see needles, now they are all over, including outside a for-children school that was outside the exclusion radius of the safe injection site.

Every couple months the police raid and shutdown the tent city (which is on an unused lot next to a train station), and there is always a crime surge as the people there are forced to steal the stuff they need to live again, oh and a bunch more needles. Each one of these raids costs multiple 10's of thousands of dollars, just so the ground can be empty useless land. Even if you absolutely despise homeless people this is a completely awful idea, it makes literally everyones life harder.

Space isn't black its transparent, there's just nothing behind it.

I talked with some friends in the same neighborhood, best as we could tell the person handling A-M names (e.g my wife) was really slow and the person for M-Z (e.g me) was quite quick.

I had a very weird experience.

Walked over with my dogs, my wife goes first while i wait outside and it takes 2 hours, had all kinds of extra verification steps and stuff. I go in, same length line, a volunteer looks at my voter card and has me skip the queue for some reason and I'm in and out in 5 minutes and they barely check anything but crossing my name off.
