Those are not usually real gold though.

It's not really an "of course"

Some countries don't tax lottery winnings, Canada for example. Though for Canada game shows are a bit more nebulous.

Doesn't matter what they want.

The only real option for right wing voters is the conservatives so they will keep voting blue.

The only real option for liberal voters not happy with the current state of things is the NDP.

So the NDP pulls votes from the liberals and the conservatives will be in power.

Canada has only put it off for a few years. The liberals have been in power for a long time and people were already itching for a change.

It isn't like the conservatives did poorly They turned out tones of votes, the only reason they are not in power is because the left United to keep them out, essentially decimating the other left wing parties.

The next election we have will very likely go to the conservatives when the left splits again.

If they are standing their ground it might be up for debate.

Kernel level anti cheat is such crap.

It isn't true Arch though, so the Arch forums would never accept them. They would have to go install from scratch to be able to get "I use arch btw" badge.

I use endeavouros btw.

It all started that day Day road up on that seadoo...

Actually I'll never forget Air Farce lampooning Preston Manning, good times.

I disagree that he is effective in anything other than being not Trudeau and being a contrarian in the American conservative mold. If he was at all a good politician he would not have fumbled this election the way he did. The liberals made some good plays but if PP had spent one minute reading the room instead of playing party over country he might have been PM.

If he manages to hang around until the next one he will probably get in when the left splits again but it won't be because he's good at his job it will be because he has a pulse and a name on the ballot under conservative.

The conservatives still turned out a lot of votes. The left just voted strategically to keep them out. Next election the left will split again and we will get the conservatives again. Given the parties recent history even if it isn't Poilievre I'm sure they will pick another alt right sycophant.

Same regarding the last referendum. When that happened I knew for sure it had to be introduced in a smaller lower stakes way which is why I was pretty happy when London used ranked choice (a bright spot for a city whose politicians suck more often than not). Removing that is one of the things I hate most about Doug.

You will never get it top down. The major parties all prefer and benefit from different systems.

If you truely care about electoral reform your best bet is bottom up. Start getting your preferred form into municipal elections. We almost had that in Ontario until Doug showed up and fucked us.
