I hate this mentality of bucketing Liberals and NDP together. They're different parties with different policies, and one of the main benefits of PR is that leftists don't have to compromise our values and vote Liberal just to prevent Conservatives from winning. Treating it like left vs right just pushes us towards the Democrat vs Republican in the US.

People mostly drive at what feels like a safe speed for the road, regardless of speed limit. Lowering the speed limit significantly below that speed makes roads much more dangerous

It's weird because there's lots of studies showing that tracking users' interests isn't even that much more effective than targeting based on the page content.
