This could trigger a Minsky moment. And a world wide financial meltdown. Then he'll just say haha just kidding. Once that genie is out of the bottle though, there's no going back.
I've been wondering this past week if Canada Post could take advantage of this angst against America that we are all feeling, and start an all Canadian Amazon competitor. I mean Canada Post would for sure find a way to fuck this up, but they've already got the shipping network on lock. Start a marketplace.
I don't know how you browse, but I use Boost for Lemmy on Android. You can filter your account to show Local, All, Subscribed, etc. I used to use it for Reddit and got so used to it, that it was worth the 8 or 9 bucks or whatever it cost.
I got super into it in the days after my daughter was born a couple years ago. I had a few weeks off work, so I was letting my wife get some sleep at night and I'd stay up playing Cyberpunk until the baby woke up and needed fed. I'm actually on the last mission on the main campaign, but for some reason still haven't finished it.
Fuck Singh, he's just as sus as PP is. What does he think he's going to accomplish here? Would it not be just as well to keep some order, while the country faces it's biggest threat in probably 200 years?
It's well known. I'm actually a polisci grad from another university, we all knew that if it was boot licking conservative, we didn't even need to look at the header, we knew where it came from. I mean sure, it's important not to paint people with wide swath brushes, but that school is heavily heavily tainted with conservative one-track mind.
Edit: I should point out, just to your point, like a famous grad of UofC was Naheed Nenshi, so non-cons exist there. But the issue at the UofC, for every Nenshi there's like five Danielle Smiths. Makes sense, I mean Alberta is a con stronghold, and has been since forever pretty much. So it goes to say of course the UofC is too. But it's just a bit over the top.
I actually don't disagree with you. I'm a big proponent of do as I do, not rules for thee but not for me. Oh gosh do I hate rules for thee, but not for me. Grrrrr it boils my blood.
I have to give this one a go. I'm not even Vegan, but I sure am one of the world's biggest poutine fans, and I've found with poutine, the more unique the better.
Au contraire. I'm a manager who enjoys work remotely. I don't give a shit what my team is doing or where they are doing it from, or when, or whatever. As long as they are comfortable.
The formula is something like: People's comfort x Shit gets done + my bosses are satisfied at shit getting done so they leave me the fuck alone= happy me.
Jagmeet did a good enough job navigating through the minority situation, like Canadians in the middle class are actually much better off with having had him where he was, and for the work he got done. The pure irony is though, those very same Canadians are screaming for PP. The tyranny of the majority...
The only thing I'm scared of, is the Michael Ignatieff effect. The liberals have tried this one before. Michael Ignatieff is on a plane that is well beyond any of our comprehension. Which works really well in academia, but not so well when it comes to trying to deal with the common world and to level with the common man.
This guy sure as shit ain't a dummy, and I've actually had the pleasure of being at lectures with him, and buddy is pretty gosh darn smart. We'd be a better nation with him leading us for a little while. Problem is, half the population are wearing raccoon hats and railing ivermectin, and cheering over transport truck horns from parking lot encampments in the middle of nowhere. The other half gets their education solely from Facebook. We are still pretty fucked, me be thinking. He's polling well as a liberal, but the polls at the macro level are still looking like a clear CON blood bath across the country.
