  • I admit, I had to look up Liz White. I'm not sure why you bothered to include someone who manages less than 250 votes while ignoring the dozen other party leaders with similarly limited support.

    She has an interesting perspective but, like other micro-parties, the Animal Protection Party is not likely to meaningfully contribute to a minority government (even with proportional representation)

  • So, from my understanding, the bill dies, but the petition persists. Thanks for clearing that up!

  • Once the election is officially called on Sunday, will the bill be considered dead and have to be reintroduced in the next parliament? In effect, don't petitions also die when the bill associated with them dies?

    It may as well be delayed until the bill is re-introduced with the next government, as it may not even be re-tabled in the House with its current deficiencies.

  • This is true (about an hour before any official policy was released), which means it was published as a half-informed leak instead of news of actual policy. However, claiming an (inaccurate) leak as released policy remains misleading.

  • Like most USian news sources, the article is misleading. Ford said he will add a 25% export tax on electricity IF tariffs persist. He did not provide a timeline on exactly when he might do it. He referred to this as "keeping the powder dry"

  • This sounds cool, but it doesn't look like it's intended to ever go to market.

    Maybe there will be a pivot with the current political situation state-side, but that doesn't seem to be the purpose of this project.

    Still, a project worth rooting for! I just signed up to receive updates straight from their website: https://projectarrow.ca/

  • If I see any, I'll be sure to let you know!

  • !greater_sudbury@lemmy.ca is actually the 2nd or 3rd oldest city-based community on lemmy.ca . It's not very active, but should definitely be added to this list.

    Also, !canadasoccer@lemmy.ca would be a good community to add to the soccer category.

    For team-specific Canadian-based soccer teams, there's !torontofc@lemmy.ca of the MLS (US-league with 3 Canadian-based teams). Other MLS sides include Vancouver Whitecaps and CF Montreal, which I don't think have a community created.

    None of the 8 Canadian Premier League teams, nor any of the numerous League1 Canada sides have taken steps to establish their communities yet (as far as I know).

  • Absolutely create them, but more importantly post to them & where possible, post about them. People often hold back from posting if a community seems vacant, so its important to add new stuff regularly to your community.
