On the bright side a hot war between two nuclear powers likely means you won’t have to worry about the next four years.

Bamboo straws I like as well.

Like… I get that paper straws kind of suck. But my god. We’re a week away from the election and this is what he’s talking about. These people are so childish. It feels like he’s running for class president instead of PM.

Oh that’s interesting, I didn’t realize that. Thanks for the info.

I haven’t seen it and I’m trying not to be biased but was there any missing context?

I’m not a Conservative and think that the conservative obsession with crime is overblown and borders on hysterical but it’s incorrect to say that Canadians are as safe as they were 10 years ago. Violent crime has been on the rise every year since 2014 after a sustained period of reduction. We’re now at roughly the same crime rate we were in 2002.

Feelings are fine. But facts are facts.

Agreed. But there are better ways of dealing with this than making laws that will inevitably be struck down by the Supreme Court.

Apart from the fact that this obviously is against the charter - how does this work? Is it three separate convictions at different times? What if you’re charge with multiple serious offenses during a single crime?

I am actively political and have been my entire life. I go to protests, I’ve campaigned for candidates, I’ve been a member of political parties, voted in leadership contests and do so at every level of government.

I’ve never once attended a political rally. They just strike me as creepy and weird.

I don't live in the city proper so I couldn't vote but it was awesome seeing so many people out there. Municipal politics are so important and I don't understand why more people don't get involved in them.

Hahah. Yeah same. Obviously the fediverse needs to be more user friendly to gain traction, but I’m having a lot of fun with the more… technical(?)… knowledge required to wrap your head around it.

The Fediverse feels much more like the old internet.
