He spent a quarter of a billion dollars the last time you guys had a presidential election. He tried to!

When we had our third kid we ditched the 3 row crossover for a minivan. More practical (sliding power doors) more cargo+interior space, smaller overall footprint. It’s perfect.

The nice thing about parliamentary system is you can remove a PM without popular/electoral support (caucus controls who is their party leader) and confidence votes allow for a minority of government party members to form coalition with opposition to defeat the government.

Agree that they are further right than I would prefer (when I’m feeling extra spicy I like to think that the AB separatist movement would flush all this nonsense right out of the country altogether), but even the current configuration of the CPC is probably left of the US Democrats on policy.

I think a big part of this is because provincial and federal parties don’t have strong partisan ties, so we don’t see provincial governance by the far right (ie: Alberta) translate into national popular support.

Canada has had several far-right parties attempt to rise up, they have rarely polled above 5% of popular vote or won more than 1-2 seats in parliament.

So many 60 year old white guys who realized they hate their families during lockdown and assumed everyone else felt the same way.

We forgave you the first time, but it was pretty bad form to do it twice, man.

The pride and power of Iowa State basketball's Audi Crooks Audi Crooks hears the haters. But Iowa State's star inherited resilience from her mom and joy from her dad. Her high-scoring game is the ultimate counterpoint.

Spent some time in Iowa and went long on Iowa State’s Audi Crooks. Despite her dominance, she deals with a lot of negativity, especially about her body. But no matter what is said about her, Audi Crooks wears a smile. www.espn.com/womens-colle...

My man, it is not my responsibility to explain to you why your spellchecker doesn’t have feelings.

You elect left-wing governments just hoping they’ll build homes and fund healthcare, and every now and then you get a little treat.

British Columbian here about to act all cool and smug about the fact that we’ll never “fall back” again. Losers.

I think if the president doesn’t believe America should accept refugees, he should create fewer of them directly with his actions.

This is amazing because it would solve so many problems and have absolutely no impact on the people who pay the taxes. When you have $1B and someone takes half of it away, you still have $500M which is about 100 times more than I will earn in my lifetime and I am a top 5% income earner in my country

I have had the exact same week. Every day I wake up a something one-every-25-years event has occurred in the last 12 hours. Every day.

It’s bookmaking, not bookkeeping, and that is the same as setting odds. The way to do this correctly is to be savvy enough to offer the correct odds so you get equal action on both outcomes, and can settle all bets. They provide slightly worse odds to both parties and make money on the spread.

This was exactly my thought when I read the Stratechery daily update (yes, I still subscribe…) today - this is the same Ben Thompson that regularly defends Apple and attacks governments that seek to build back-doors into it’s strong and functioning privacy protections? That Ben?

“We also will build technical safeguards to ensure our models behave as they should” lol, as if they didn’t realize these things hallucinate until the military asked them politely. I bet the military version still can’t count the R’s in strawberry every time.

There are two things that turn otherwise normal, kind, thoughtful people into sociopaths. One is, clearly, having more money than you could possibly spend. The other, it seems, is when you put someone in a car and have them experience the slightest inconvenience.

As someone who believes in evidence-based policy making, I think this is good.

It is simply not common for candidates for office in Canada to refer to their religious beliefs as foundational to their policy goals. There is a fringe of our right wing party that acts that way, but broadly speaking serious politicians aren’t speaking this way.
