Who are you, who are so wise in the ways of science?

Same thing happened in Windsor West.

NDP incumbent lost to the Conservative but the Liberals actually got more votes than the NDP did. NDP had 50% of their support stolen only for both of them to lose to blue. FFS

Also, wouldn't a minority Liberal government be risking a no-confidence vote for being so heavy handed?

Any chance he might self-reflect on this? I doubt it.

If your doctor is confident enough to declare it a scam I'd go with the opinion of the trained certified medical professional whom you let do unspeakable things to all your orifices protected only by latex gloves instead of listening to anonymous idiots like me.

That said, if you insist on listening to me then you can do your own allergen test at home:

• Wash (with soap and cloth) and sterilize (with iodine or isopropyl alcohol) your stomach and a sewing needle.
• With the needle gently scratch a series of small bloodless paired nicks an inch apart.
• On the left side leave clean for a negative comparison and on the right dab a miniscule amount of a single suspected allergen on each scratch. Maybe jot down which scratch has which substance so you don't forget.
• Wait 20 minutes and compare the left to the right. Any on the right side significantly discoloured, swollen or blotchy compared with its respective left side negative are likely allergens and should be avoided.

Disclaimer: Not a doctor and not medical advice.

I'd be more inclined to believe you if you supported this opinion with some cherry-picked statistics. /s

From a behaviourist's point of view there are 3 things you can do to help her:

1) Reward bravery, and ignore fear. Dog is trembling? Don't use a soothing voice and pet her. You're literally encouraging her to be frightened if you do. It's tough I know as it goes against what 'feels' right. Ignore her. If she jumps up for attention/pets/cuddles let her be near you but don't pet/console. Do your own thing while also letting her hang out if so inclined. If and when she seems no longer afraid then pet her or treat her however is appropriate.

2) Gradually acclimate her to noise Have a TV or radio on in the house to generate ambient noise. Set the volume low to begin. Raise the volume as high as you reasonably can until you get a concerned response from her. Tone the volume down a tick below that and go about your day. Increase the volume a tick after you see her relaxed for a long time repeatedly. If you can have the TV or radio on at a level that doesn't bother you or your neighbours that is good progress

3) Lead by example. Act unconcerned and unafraid of noises. Is she afraid to go outside? Go outside, look around, and call her to you. When she comes, shower her with praise/reward. Then go do something in the yard that doesn't necessarily have anything to do with her. If she flees back inside don't call her back immediately as that may be rewarding her fear with attention. Wait and call her back out after a bit. The longer you hang out outside while it is noisy the more normal it will become in the dog's eyes.

Combine all these strategies in escalating difficulty as she improves. For example, feed her nearer and nearer to the TV/radio, etc... Do you take her for walks? Perhaps as final challenges start walking nearer and nearer to ongoing construction, or the busy street. If you do this last thing don't keep getting closer until she panics. Walk a little bit in the direction of noise and turn 90deg walk a bit and then walk away for that day.

Good luck. This is something that will take a lot of thought, work and patience on your part but she sounds worth it.

Getting your last chance digs in to try to manipulate voters I see. Golly, I'd better not vote Liberal to help prevent a majority government get PP into power.

Polls are BS attempting to sway your vote (or lack thereof as the case may be) through trickery. Do not take your riding for granted. Vote like its 999 for 1000 against your candidate.

Still happy ya'll didn't vote for the "lesser evil" despite being told numerous times this would happen?

I don't use HA so this is confusing me. If the software works for your home setup, why update at all ever? What do you as a user get other than the opportunity to see new ads on the thermostat screen or whatever?

If you get your Canadian news from an American owned propaganda network you need to rethink your whole belief system and any fact you think is true.

Will these rags see any consequences? Probably not.

Jordan’s Principle, a nearly 20-year-old policy declaring that First Nations kids’ medical needs should be prioritized — ahead of figuring out which government would foot the bill

Oh no! Not strong language! Mercy me whatever will they do?

"Deep cuts to NASA’s science programs would be the end of America’s leadership in space science. It would clearly signal to the world (and to America’s children) that America is a declining power."

Yeah, tht's been clear since Donald Doofus got voted in the first time. It's time that the signals get registered by America.

Considering those grandfathered in is too broad for the discussion because at that point someone somewhere has one still, no matter what we're talking about.

Not really. Setting aside that atm the only legal handgun owners are the police/military, they have to be stored in a locked container anchored immovable to the home and their location known to the police at all times. IF someone broke in and somehow ripped the safe off the wall/open the minute the owner got home it would be immediately reported.

That's a whole load of gaslighting and disinformation. You are not entitled to guns and they will be taken away.

You're welcome to actually disprove anything instead of just putting your head in the sand. They'll never get taken away. They are too ingrained in our culture. The reality is we're only discussing how annoying the Government will be about them, not whether they'll be removed completely. You'd never see a Liberal Government ever again if that was the case.

the case of a father murdering his wife, his grandfather and himself a few months back

Citation please. Edit: NM I found it. The exception that proves the rule. Your only example is a case that emphasizes the limitations I already explained. It was a crime that happened to use a gun, not one that could only have happened because of it. Had the guy not had a firearm he would have done the same thing with something else because the firearm used is so neutered.

It wasn't Luigi. He was banging my wife at the time.

This isn't for you, but anyone else who feels similarly to @sunshine@lemmy.ca

In Canada, all firearms are regulated and fall under 3 categories: Prohibited, Restricted, and Non-Restricted.

In order to possess or buy a firearm you must be licensed. To get a license you need to pass a firearms safety course, and pass a background check of varying severity depending on the class of license. History of mental issues? Good luck. Ex girlfriend doesn't want you owning guns? You'll be getting a suspension in the mail instead of a license. On top of that, most Canadians are ineligible for Prohibited and Restricted licenses which are limited to mainly the Military and Law-enforcement (with club owners and those grandfathered in being the notable exceptions).

The one category you do need to 'worry' about are those deemed Non-Restricted. Firearms that fit in this class are limited to long rifles that don't have an automatic action. Even here, cartridge capacity and transport options are limited. What that means is you won't see normies walking around with a rifle legally, except maybe under extraordinary circumstances and they are functionally limited to the point even street patrol officers outclass them. Someone with a longarm could indeed commit violent crimes, but the scope of the damage would be limited to 1 or 2 before reality prevented any further harm to the public. The same amount of damage a madman could inflict with a butcher knife.

Looking at the image and scenarios described in the article make it clear further laws are unnecessary. Almost all of those weapons in the photo are restricted to law enforcement use or flat out prohibited already. Some are clearly labelled "Restricted" but you can tell just by looking at them. Automatic action, or barrel short/sawed-off? Restricted/Prohibited. Magazine larger than your palm? Over capacity. There are only 1 or 2 actually Non-Restricted firearms presented and the issue with them is they have a conversion kit to change them from semi-auto to full-auto, which is already illegal.

If you see an article about an instance of tragic Canadian gun violence in the news the perpetrator will (or should if accuracy is intended) be described as in possession of illegal firearms. They (edit) almost always are. The issue is they weren't caught in possession of the illegal firearms before they acted, and more laws won't fix that.
