From the article: Hmm…almost like the criticisms against our NSF…

Fair. The big thing I have against this specific argument (Trudeau is the cause of homelessness in Canada) is that - and I totally understand that it’s impossible to prove unless we can slide between Multiverses - if the LPC wasn’t in power in the past 8 years and all other things remained the...

That’s totally on the reporters for asking closed-ended questions. That’s just shoddy question-asking. If I was being questioned, I’d hope for questions like that.

It still irks me that people write BLUF at all. How about “Summary”?

More to the point, how many of those six were there before Trudeau came into power? 6 is too many, but calling homeless encampments “Trudeauvilles” is about as correct as calling the homeless crisis in Victoria “Klein-stans” because Ralph Klein bought one-way bus tickets for AB’s homeless to...

Quirky claimed that Canada was a shithole country, not QV.

That’s near the airport, right? Depending on where it is (ie. how it affects the landing/departure pattern) there are height limits, including max height of trees, due to Transport (or NAV) Canada regulations.

Not that I’m suggesting that this is a good idea, but a family living in a 500-600 sqft (at best) apartment is the norm in many places in Asia. It’s pretty surprising how much you can pack into an apartment in HK.

NASA sort of agrees, but they say that the CO2 output basically bounced back by end-2020. So 9 months of drop. https://climate.nasa.gov/news/3129/emission-reductions-from-pandemic-had-unexpected-effects-on-atmosphere/ To be fair, it’s not completely refuting your point but it suggests that...

“It’s time”? Even when I was in high school in the 90s, I was told that a fair percentage of immigrants to Canada from other areas eventually moved to the US. The thing is there are lots of folks who would proudly say “we moved to [insert country] from Canada and we love it here”. Outside...

Last time I was there a couple of years ago, it seemed pretty deserted. Maybe I was in another wing?

I’ll be pedantic here: There are PMQs in Ottawa. I know some folks in them. Not enough, but “none” is incorrect.

I was just answering the question you posed. Why would you say I’m triggered?

There should be a corresponding chart on how much each country pollutes. Just putting tax amounts doesn’t mean much by itself. Does France produce more or less than Canada? If Canada produces 20x more (number completely made up) than France, then it tells a completely different story.

Yeah but you “followed rules” and such. Nerd.

I’m sure there are some departments quietly doing just fine, regardless of party in government. Those are usually the ones where you wouldn’t even recognize their names.

I’m sorry - are the rest of the world suddenly super wealthy? The US has 78% (!) living paycheque to paycheque as of last year. https://www.forbes.com/advisor/banking/living-paycheck-to-paycheck-statistics-2024/ Germany has 40% in the same situation...

Well that’s one way to stop someone from side-sleeping.

I’m not. I figured they weren’t going to answer.

…and now for something completely different. https://time.com/6967306/beijing-half-marathon-cheating-investigation-he-running-pacers/
