Why did the Conservatives choose a child to be their leader?

When I started my last job (big multinational corporation) after an internship, I got 3 weeks of paid vacation right off the bat, with 1 more week every few years, up to a maximum of 7 weeks.

Plus 1 more week if I chose to "buy" a week by estimating the vacation I would accrue throughout the remainder of the year and subtracting 1 week's pay from that.

The link goes to a completely different article about the sexual assault trial of 5 former world junior hockey players.

I think you meant to post this link.

Sorry, when have "munchies" been associated with drinking and driving? That's a ridiculous stretch. This occurred outside because of the amount of space it would take indoors.

My aunt is in your situation. French from birth, sprinkled with English, but English-only after age 7. She can still kind of speak French if she thinks really hard and uses English for half the words, but it's mostly gone. She also speaks Spanish but learned as an adult.

Her native language and her first language are both French, but her primary language is English and her secondary language is Spanish. If you asked, she would probably say that her native language is English because she learned some as a child and barely uses French for anything.

Oh no, your house's value didn't double in ten years. How horrible for you, I will send a card at once.

The courts already don't pass legislation. They pass rulings which inform legal precedent, and that is used as a base in cases where legislation is being challenged as unconstitutional.

He's basically trying to find a way to make sure that illegal laws "stick" and that the courts can't repeal them after the fact for being illegal. That should worry you, because the court being able to review a law for constitutionality is a sign of a free and just society, and PP wants to take that away.

There would be nothing stopping any government from just stripping the right to protest from the Human Rights Act, for example. The courts wouldn't have the authority to act.

They're wearing masks, so it's 2020 or later in the photo, but weed was legalized federally in 2018. If cops in Canada did post this, they're dumber than I gave them credit for.

I don't think that person was arguing in good faith since many means of production are currently state-owned in governments that are not communist (France owns their energy corporation, for example).

The reason why a state planning for communism would even need state-owned industry is to transition from a capitalist mode of production to one that is socialist. When that is complete, the state is theoretically supposed to transition to communism wherein the ownership of industry would be transferred to worker's co-ops and other worker-run organizations, such as trade unions.

We all know how poorly theory often translates to practice (i.e., successfully transitioning from capitalism to socialism to communism is very difficult for numerous internal and external reasons), but the comment in the OP photo demonstrates kind of a misguided understanding of how state ownership and socialism (in the modern European sense and in the Marxist-Leninist sense) are supposed to work.

Any nation with any type of economy can become corrupt without needing to own any means of production at all.

Hmm, good. I like that my intrinsic desire to be nice to things that are helping me also takes money away from Sam Altman.

It really grossed me out when they voted to remove the word "socialism" from all of their official documentation and party constitution. I haven't been able to see them the same since.

I have hope they'll go in a new direction after Jagmeet but I don't know if the party will ever be like how it was. Really seems like the sun has set for the NDP after Jack Layton. Also every fucking email asks me for $20 that I don't have without offering updates on the actual campaign or ways to get involved; just fundraising emails with no info.

They really lack any kind of fighting spirit at the national level and in Ontario (don't know about other provinces, sorry). This isn't even really about Jagmeet but the leaders of the party at the convention level; their decisions make the party look like a kicked dog that's too scared to take up space.

We need confidence, we need socialist ideas, we need some fucking energy and not the corporate veneer that the NDP thinks will give them the legitimacy they want so bad. Only actual displays of concrete leadership will give them that.

STV is just a type of ranked ballot though, it's not a separate method.

Working in consultation with data scientists and election statisticians, I'm sure a government could easily determine which methods would meet all of the criteria necessary to ensure a fair and free election. The problem is with calling a referendum in order to implement it, which I don't think is actually required.

It literally cannot get worse than FPTP. I am okay with basically any voting method except FPTP and MMP (it's just FPTP with party list seat linkage).

His band is actually going to be doing more stuff now that Angus is winding down his political career and not seeking re-election. He did an interview with Rachel Gilmore a few weeks ago and mentioned it briefly.

Even when I went to elementary school over 15 years ago in Canada, kids weren't allowed to be held back without written permission from their parents. I thought it was really fucking weird because we literally had a kid whose mom did all of his homework (everyone knew; he had horrible writing and she didn't) and yet refused to put him in a remedial class or have him repeat a year.

The 10th generation Paperwhite is known as the Paperwhite 4 (PW4). I have one and I jailbroke it many years ago. I've even accidentally uninstalled the jailbreak and was able to re-jailbreak it.

Read all of this very carefully. Make sure that your firmware version is 5.14.2 or earlier.

Then read (again, carefully) about this jailbreak method and follow the installation instructions.

Unfortunately, even if Hamas relinquished power tomorrow, I think the oppression and genocide of the Palestinian people will continue. There's no reason for Israel to stop and they've still got the implicit and explicit backing of most of the world.

Cetaphil is pretty good for sensitive skin. They make a face lotion with sunscreen in it too, but I haven't personally tried it. I think, as a brand, it's at roughly the same price point as CeraVe.

That said, at home I do use CeraVe's moisturizing cream on my body and face; I get the 539g jar with the pump and I've found it to be really economical. It's not "face lotion" and doesn't have sunscreen in it, though.

No, "it" is the humanitarian aid that is being blocked.

Next time you're looking for a toaster, let me know; I have a bunch of refrigerator recommendations for you.
