The money won’t start flowing until 2026 –– after the next federal election. None of it is going to cover day-to-day operations, which observers note is the major gap transit systems are dealing with right now.

It's pretty much the same the Housing strategy, really just sets up a timeline where it looks like a political maneuver to get the Conservatives to retract of this spending that would make people lives better while not doing much while they have the power to do so.

Most people would just say CBC should be run differently, but everyone familiar with the Conservatives know they really just itching to do a fire sale for all crown properties.

If anyone was wondering Danielle was essentially copying pasting a milder version of what Marjorie Taylor Greene said.

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/marjorie-taylor-greene-donald-trump-shooting-b2580000.html

The Georgia Republican congresswoman baselessly alleged there’s a conspiracy afoot, insisting “Democrats wanted this to happen” and have “wanted Trump gone for years and they’re prepared to do anything to make that happen.”

After attacking Democrats for repeatedly calling Trump a threat to democracy, she soon blasted the party with more extreme rhetoric, calling the country’s polarized politics a “battle.”

“We are in a battle between GOOD and EVIL,” she wrote on X on Sunday.

“The Democrats are the party of pedophiles, murdering the innocent unborn, violence, and bloody, meaningless, endless wars.

In case anyone needs a recap:

Presidential candidate calling for people to second amendment their politics into reality for almost a decade. Someone took them up on that suggestion.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith — who once told former Fox News personality Tucker Carlson she wished he would put a federal cabinet minister in his "crosshairs" — called on "progressive" politicians to temper their language Monday after former U.S. president Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt.

I don't think there's enough time for the Liberals to seperate themselves from Trudeau at this point. If that was the direction they were going they should have done it a year ago.

I think twelve years later it pretty agreeable that compensation alone is not what stopping Canadians from having decent MP's and in itself there's a lot of sitting MP's that's probably not even worth minimum wage.

Fun chart I made:

Source data

Median Income: Income of individuals by age group, sex and income source, Canada, provinces and selected census metropolitan areas

MP Compensation: Indemnities, Salaries and Allowances

109 second video from 2012. This is going to be a rather long summary for a short video,

• Video starts off by saying the one thing political pundits agree on is slashing the MP's pensions
• Pierre qualified for a full pension at 31 because he got elected straight out of school
• How he's done nothing but is a expert in everything
• We'd avoid people like this in real life but the House of Commons is crawling with them

• He wants better MP's
• Taking off to Ottawa for 6 to 7 years is bad for the career and family
• Are we going to attract better MP by making the job less desirable
• End with "say when it comes to MPs instead of all of us piling on and lowering the bar let's aim high for a change"

I'm not talking about overall atheism rates. More so extremely overtly religious people seem to be on the rise where as the same people used to be a bit toned down.

I have noticed people becoming more religious in the last year or so.

I don't think the Liberal are willing to sacrifice their entire future as the one of the two alternating parties in order to gain a few more seats.

338 on a federal level projects them for 67 seats and 24% ± 3% on the popular vote. That translates to 85-91 seats which is a decent gain.

However this would mean the Liberal will likely never get anything close to majority again. I would also believe they would slowly dwindle in popularity with a rise of smaller parties. That's a lot give up for 24 more seats for 4 years.

It's plausible that Trudeau could want to push through voting reform as one last move to salvage something since him losing the next election likely spells the end of his political career.

The problem is the Liberals as a whole. It pretty predictable Conservatives are going to do a horrible job and by the 2029ish election the tables will be flipped and Liberal will only need to campaign on not being a disaster of a party like the incumbents.

The ballot seemed like it was setup for failure although the turnout(42.2%) was also mediocre as usual.

Theoretically yes but it also encompasses a number of different design changes.

These are his videos talking about it:

How Breaking Rules Could Create Better Apartments - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=011TOfugais

Why North America Can't Build Nice Apartments (because of one rule) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRdwXQb7CfM

I'm always look forward to Uytae's videos but since his last few topics seems to have driven legislative changes I really wonder what he'll tackle next.

I saw a quite a few comments about how NDP and Green voters were somehow the bad guys in the by election but the Liberals seem more than happy to let the Conservatives run Canada into the ground for 4 years and somehow they've done a "good job".

One of these categories seem very out of place for a conversation about national inflation.

Some of the increase was typical of the season. Prices for cellular services, rent, travel tours and air transportation grew at a faster pace, according to the data agency.

America is ramping up their production again and it will very likely be part of the trade agreements to be supportive their endeavor which leave us once again in a rather awkward position.

I'd like to think a competent government would be able to take advantage from both the American and Chinese subsidies, but I have feeling we lose out on the cheap decent Chinese cars while finding ourselves on the losing end of a North American trade agreement.

Technically speaking we need a lot more infrastructure as whole. Housing being the most dire one.

I'm actually starting to feel like Trudeau actually thought a ahead on this one politically and really setting up Pierre to fail.

It's my belief that the guy is trying to be so embarrassing that he sweeps this video under the rug.

If you're referring to combining units I don't think it'll really be practical. The 300sqft mark is on the lower end of what is technically okay for people with some heavy consideration into functional design and lifestyle. Essentially a single person who probably spends a lot of time outside.

This is a pretty good video(13:03) on the topic .
