real democracy is incompatible with conservatism

what's the joke
There's been chinwagging forever... Except that unlike the Qubecois they lack the ability to actually get their shit together to organize for it. Instead all energy is spent attempting to implement a chisto-fascist takeover of all Canada to make everyone as dumb as they are.
13000 years ago. You are off topic.
There have been moments like this in the US.
Can't rely on other people to do the work.
they lost cause they are comprehensively jackasses who suck and everybody hates them EVEN MORE than they hate the soggy liberals. they have the leader they elected, and whom they deserve.
🔮 I forsee at least an attempt at social media influencer. He loves trolling and attention. He already has a platform. He has been double cancelled which is a giant boost. (And unlike many claims to have been canceled, this one is true, at least in one domain.)
If he can read the currents and catch a good wave on some right wingnut conspiracy theories he could have a lucrative career, at least for a little while.

the article I read about him said that he left his job to raise his children fulltime while his wife worked. then goes on to say his children are well into their post-secodary degrees so he's been renovating his house and talking everyone's ear off about how great it is because of its greenness. One of the things he'd like to do as MP is help other people renovate their houses the same way he did.
Losing to Carney, a serious member of the financial class is one thing. But losing to full time parent of 2 adults, who loves eco-friendly home renos is another thing. It's interesting that neither men has held a conventional job in 20 years. Not to mention the dynamics (esp gender) of one of them having spent the time being a homemaker and the other being a brainwrecker.

What did the BQ do loose so much favor? As usual I am out of touch with Qc goings-on.
Eighty-five of those candidates were signed up in the final few days as part of an operation orchestrated by a group that says it is making a point to push for electoral reform.
Gotta say its a poorly made point.
Here is the list:
How do you discern autism from a smart watch, labs, pharmacy etc?
there are adults, mostly men, who have been grooming them for years.
about the books people asked vancouver library to remove from its shelves
This was a comment on Vancouver librarians caught in the middle of the culture war by @zephyreks but I ended up writing so much I thought I'd make it a new post. Hope that is OK.
The term "culture war" is excessively very dismissive. The subjects that people take issue to here are matters of material well being.
People in the article and comments are using the word "ban" alot. I don't think there is any request to "ban" anything. It is just the one library. When something is "banned" it is prohibited from all sources. After actually taking a look at the list of books I don't think any of them should be removed from the collection on the basis of the complaints. I do think some of them could be re-shelved. But getting all worked up about a few random complaints that literally anyone can make because they are in a bad mood, and obliquely referring to nazis/holocaust is going way overboard.
I also don't see that anyone is "caught in the middle" of an
