According to this and this vouching can be a thing for both eu and Riksdag elections.

40 dollars may not seem like a lot to you, but for a homeless person, that's quite a lot and they font have foxed addresses for mailing either. Homeless people deserve to vote.

I live in Canada, I can vote using my free government issued healthcard or I can bring a friend to vouch for me, or i can bring a student id and a bill. While most people probably vote with their drivers license or photo ID this enables people who are homeless, very old, or in my case in 2021, just moved. (Here's what's needed for the curious). You'll notice in that link there are special exemptions for people who live in long term care homes, for whom it is much more common to have no form of id.

People who don't have easy access to id are societies most vulnerable people and I think it is especially important that they have access to voting.

America does not have a free form of id (in most states anyway) and does not allow someone to vouch as a form of identification.

There's some good and some bad imo.

I'm indifferent to slightly tightening gun regulations,

I think more money for cyber crimes is a good idea and more money for equipment to secure the border is necessary as the us unravels. More early retirement isn't something I will complain about and will win a lot of votes amoung those effected. I think the organized car theft is something worthwhile to address.

I like criminalizing unconsenual deepfake porn and becoming stricter on revenge porn.

Increasing funding to Building Safer Communities Fund sounds nice but might just be lip service.

I don't like making bail more difficult, but con leaning voters will love it. I don't like most of the tougher sentencing but it is a more reasonable version of pp's 3 strikes horribleness that undercuts him while in practise not changing things that much.

Didn't the ndp just very publically fire and shame someone for propalestine sentiment?

It's now april 4th and retail egg prices are still pretty stable at 4$ a carton. Certainly not the sorts of prices usa was seeing at the time (although their prices have come down significantly, I think)

I think some spreaders of misinformation are victims and not intentional bad actors. Banning them from legitimate communities only pushes them further from reality which is bad for our society. Telling the difference between useful idiots and bad actors is hard, so i think the general policy should be a warning and a ban until election day, and having the mods reserve the right to be harsher for clear bad actors.

Man I am SO grateful that our election cycle is only a month long.

The US navy could destroy an airforce 10x our size and there is no way to change that in the short term, especially by giving the US money. We should not be investing in conventional warfare.

It's the first thing that shows up for me on cbc, posted 4 hours after your comment. I think this might have been more that it takes time to research, interview, get responses from the opposition and fact check.

Anecdotally almost all the people who went to the states after graduating my compsci degree (about 40% of my cohort) have come back now. One guy in my cohort died in a firefight with ICE, it just isn't safe.

The application includes a legal opinion by a retired superior court justice (who did the opinion on the condition of remaining anonymous) supporting prosecuting the PM for the allegation of obstruction of justice, and possibly also for breach of trust

Being unwilling to put a name to it, even while retired seems like a huge red flag for the credibility of the claim.
