  • I'm going to make a second comment here just because I wanted to separate the ideas.

    All current political parties have zero actual path to affordable housing. If you think about it, affordable housing would mean a drop in prices by greater than 50%, maybe even greater than 75% in some regions. No political party has suggested policies that would even come close to this kind of reduction.

    Ask each candidate by what percentage they expect their platform to drop housing prices over the next 8 years (giving them the benefit of voting them in twice)

    Given that this is the single largest budget item for anyone under 40 years old, the lack of action means entire generations are screwed.

  • Does a candidate accept a platform which hates others based on gender, race, or religion? They don't even need to have espoused those views themselves, but if they're willing to support a platform or other candidates who have those views.

    They're disqualified from my list.

    Im willing to listen to the policy ideas of pretty much anyone else.

    A point of clarification, adjusting immigration can be racist but it can also not be racist. I'm willing to listen to non-racist reasoning and policies for adjusting immigration numbers.

  • Yea, well, we'll see how well the republicans get support 3 years from now when everyone is in even more pain than they are today.

    The people will again be looking for someone to blame, and rather than blaming themselves for being stupid and voting for Trump, they will simply throw Trump under the bus.

  • We also allow it for grizzlies.

    It's part of a population control system to make sure they don't end up in human controlled areas or killing each other due to competing for limited resources.

    Same reason they do this in Africa for elephants.

    There are some 16,000 polar bears in Canada, and if a fifth of those have two cubs every second year that's a lot of extra pressure on the food supply for them, which is already having issues.

    They're endangered because there's not enough food to support a larger population in the areas they live, not because they can't have babies.

  • Eggs are not super expensive in Canada despite also having issues with bird flu.

    Canada structured their industry differently via regulation such that the impact of a bird pandemic wouldn't be as damaging.

    My eggs are cheaper in Canadian dollars than your average is in American dollars, despite the exchange being like 1.42 cdn per USD.
