This asshat needs to be gone yesterday.

Except he's more popular than ever:

Well, if people in the government really don't understand the data collection is warrantless, then there's a chance they'd change that, given appropriate pushback of course.

For fucks sake. I thought this would turn out to be just a delay, or they'd release them in separate repos or something.

It makes sense for capital, until it destabilizes the system due to depressing wages, till aggregate demand falls to the point there's not enough people buying the production and you end up in depression.

As a #FuckCars person, I absolutely support the need for cars and car infrastructure for many use cases, including yours. It's why I want to get as many of us who don't need to be in cars, out of them.

Yeah, capital is fundamentally opposed to democracy because democracy means people without capital can get more power in society than those that hold more capital. What could possibly be the result of a system that removes the brakes from capital exercising its power other than the erosion of the power people without significant capital have. Which then results in further capital accumulation, which results in further disempowerment of regular people, in a feedback loop. Hell we even shoveled important public property into private capital's hands... And here we are at near historic level of income and wealth inequality.

And it isn't just me saying this. If you examine some of neoliberalism icons' musings, you'd discover they see democracy as a hindrance to the full realization of an absolute free market economy, for this exact reason. People tend to vote against the privatization of public services they depend on, and against stripping labour rights to name a couple of things that tend to rain on neoliberalism's parade.

58% of Democrats said they approved of the anti-ICE protests, compared to 15% of Republicans.

I wonder how does it compare to previous iterations of large protests.

It sounds like anyone who matters around Ford says this is a fringe no one is listening to and that what they're pushing loses elections in Canada.

I did support Carney and I hope he does good things, and I don't think the following scenario would occur but I realize this belief is entirely based on my judgement of Carney's character which could be wrong.

I was thinking about the proposed gas pipeline to the east coast. If Carney hopes to be re-elected, he can't ram a pipeline through Quebec using emergency powers if such exist. Or he'd lose his seats in QC. Instead he's gotta give significant concessions to QC, like ownership, high royalties, etc. Stuff that he and Blanchet can sell to the Quebecers. I think this is certainly possible for a gas pipeline.

But then the following disaster scenario occurred to me. He likely has significant Brookfield investments in that blind trust. He likely has a seat open on that board whenever he quits public service. What if he uses emergency powers to ram a whole bunch of infrastructure, through P3s, where the private partner retains ownership, and the partner is Brookfield. Do as many of those as possible, get kicked out of office and sit on Brookfield's board, that much richer, while we get saddled with an even angrier and vindicated CPC fascism.

Thoughts?

Edit: Thanks for wading into my election PTSD nightmare!

 

I wanted to buy a pair of pants but I can't see Add to card anywhere. Am I blind?

 

Niagara Falls—Niagara-on-the-Lake is another close LPC-CPC race that could use any help from non-LPC voters. It used to be a CPC seat.

This page shows a nice visualization of the closest races.

I have a unique opportunity to add a node at the Tower LNB ring. However I'm struggling to source a Meshtastic gateway that meets the requirements I'v been given. Any help would be appreciated.

  1. Power will be provided over 48v POE ONLY
  2. Remote management is a must, consider both internet provided over ethernet and 4G/LTE as backup (fw updates)
  3. Maximum 5db gain antenna can be used positioned on the LNB ring facing N-NW, must not exceed 1400mm in length
  4. Must be tuned for exactly 915mhz (l'm thinking cavity filter) to help with Rx.
  5. Enclosure and antenna must be pole mounted
  6. Absolutely no wifi 2.4 or 5ghz
  7. 500CND budget I'd like a set it and forget it approach. ls it even worth it?
 

Six Conservative MPs, including the party's deputy leader, disclosed last year they personally invested in companies related to Brookfield Corp., despite attacking Liberal Leader Mark Carney for his work chairing one of its spinoff companies.

 

A report from a Japanese news outlet that Honda is considering moving some of its production out of Canada to the U.S. is not accurate, Ontario Premier Doug Ford and a spokesperson for federal Minister of Industry Anita Anand said.

Previous title was "Honda considering moving some auto production out of Canada"

 
Party Name Seats (Current) Seats Change Percentage (Current) Percentage Change Majority Probability Minority Probability
Liberal 183 +23 43.6% +11% 70.5% 15.7%
Conservative 138 +19 43.2% +9.5% 5.7% 8.1%
Bloc 14 -18 3.5% -4.1% 0% 0%
New Democrat 6 -19 6.2% -11.6% N/A N/A
 

A year old but perhaps important context for this election given his rhetoric here.

 

The Liberal Party led by Mark Carney continues to gain momentum in week two of election campaigning (46%, +2), opening a double-digit lead over Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives (34%, -4 pts) among decided voters.
