In 1996, the party with fewer votes formed government.
In 2001, 58% of the vote produced 98% of the seats.
Proportional representation means seats match votes. Nothing more. Nothing less.
It is China's third aircraft carrier and China's first designed domestically and also the first capable of more advanced catapult-assisted take-offs -- a powerful launch system to rapidly accelerate fixed-wing planes for short-distance flight.
Alexander believes the premier’s plan could have the opposite effect, potentially triggering more court cases from First Nations and thereby creating more uncertainty for resource extraction and other industries in the long run, while also damaging the province’s relationship with First Nations.
“People have very fragile trust in the government of the day, but when they so intentionally change legislation to ensure that there’s no objective party reviewing how they perform reconciliation, it seems very insidious.”
This year, B.C. passed legislation to fast-track the North Coast transmission line, renewable energy projects and yet-to-be-defined “provincially significant projects.” The B.C. government admitted it had not fulfilled its consultation obligations before introducing the legislation, which many First Nations forcefully criticized.
Dr Moran of the NGS criticised the Labour Party motion as "significantly misinformed" in many regards, including the reference to WHO guidelines. "There are no WHO guidelines regarding Gender Healthcare, and there have never been," he said.
He also criticised WPATH, saying what he called "the most extensive and authoritative review of evidence in Gender Healthcare," by UK paediatrician Hilary Cass, "found that the WPATH Standards of Care (SOC8) were not evidence based and unfounded."
Mohan is a dirty transphobe doubling down on bigotry and denying healthcare to those who need it now.

Speaking to Prime Time, Deputy Sherlock defended her motion, stating that it "is part of a constructive contribution to the redevelopment process" for a new model of transgender healthcare.
She criticised the lengthy waiting times at the NGS, stating that "if you are trans and waiting for four years to see somebody, it leads to other outcomes in terms of self-medicating."
In it, she said, "No country is perfect but we can learn a lot from Iceland, Malta, Spain and Australia. Malta is a small country like our own. It has shown the way. Its model is a de-pathologised model, building on maximising the health and psychological well-being of the individual."
I strongly agree! Canadians need to shed the americanization of our form of english.

Then the cowardly OU admin threw the professor under the bus.
Reality: data breaches and censorship with age verification.
Once captured by the law – sites that deliberately transmit pornographic materials to minors and do not use government-approved age verification or age estimation technologies – the enforcement side kicks in. The enforcement of the bill is left to the designated regulatory agency, which can issue notifications of violations to websites and services. Those notices can include the steps the agency wants followed to bring the site into compliance. This literally means the government via its regulatory agency will dictate to sites how they must interact with users to ensure no underage access. If the site fails to act as instructed within 20 days, the regulator can apply for a court order mandating that Canadian ISPs block the site from their subscribers. The regulator would be required to identify which ISPs are subject to the blocking order.
Bill S-209 is better than its predecessor as it seeks to exclude search and other incidental distribution, adopts a new standalone definition for pornographic materials, and sets a higher bar for the technology itself. Yet many concerns remain: the bill still envisions court ordered website blocking, including blocking access to lawful content by those entitled to access it. In fact, the bill expressly states that the effect of the blocking may “have the effect of preventing persons in Canada from being able to access material other than pornographic material made available by the organization.” Orders that knowingly block lawful content is certain to raise Charter of Rights challenges.
The right wanted to grift again.
The falun gong cult is wild!
