They could've stripped president of immunity and most powers on the way out and complicated process of restoring that... which would be very democratic yet they've failed to do that

They could've "poisoned the well" by locking the status quo and forcing legislation timelines to be 2yr+ so that nothing gets canceled until next midterms muzzling GOP and they could've stripped POTUS of his powers by POTUS submitting an executive order etc... multiple ways to go about it and they did not touch a single one other than "pardons"...

so, with POTUS47 so blatantly (ab)using superpowers granted to him WHY did Biden fail to use even fraction of the same powers to protect the country?

this is called extortion and racketeering... citizens get sentenced for this, POTUSes get to be idolized by electorate...

erm... for them to move to center they have to shift left. Currently they are pretty much righ of the center. They are only to the left of Republicans.

libertarians calling out POTUS47 on his lunacy, now that is something...

I see no statements from Muslim communities who helped him to grab this presidency. I would like to know their reaction to this.

we've got pineWatch so why not pebble? PineWatch is OK but it's.not pebble. It was an amazing low tech that was actually extremely useful

she's following into Harris' footsteps. Courting conservative voters... bad move

My opinion is that of the two Postres is more "adult". So if you want to"just wing it" MariaDB would work, but if you're serious Postgres is a better choice. However Postgres also requires better understanding of you setup etc. So it's a ROI game - what's more important to your project, how complex your DB is, what are the requirements for availability, transaction security etc. There is no "better" or "worse" there's "feasible" and "prohibitive" 😉

right wing learned to consolidate (US, Alberts, and now... BC with Libs just plain converting to Con) Left does not and under present electoral system Left will be in disadvantage in perpetuity. (I know Libs are not left, but they are further Left than Cons)

I didn't say that either 😉 However there's plenty of evidence suggesting PP is on a winning trajectory and NDP having abysmal chances of winning either majority or form minority government

"are you a chicken Marty? Are you?" jeez... so mid-to-highschool 🤦

Inrespect Charlie, but presently NDP is doing poorly countering PP ascendance

of course BRICS members would be welcoming POTUS47... he'll ruin whatever is left of US for them

we can only hope fb implodes sooner rather than later. I personally know multiple people working there who are very decent human beings who need to pay bills. I just hope their current trajectory will force employee action and paralyze fb long enough to hurt. Unlike other places it's not so simple to just hire a load of IT professionals and have any meaningful results short term, esp. if they have not been ramped up to speed by their colleagues. So it's not impossible, bowever tolerance threshold is kind of high for any action to take place. Wads of cash, unpaid mortgages and all. Employees of big tech are truly living in gold cages...

that was a weasely answer. Now imagine PP at the helm dealing with full-on US onslaught... will he really stand up for Canada or just for pockets of few Canadians? Any sane politician would distance themselves from Musk, the un-elected human equivalent of genital cancer. While POTUS47 is covered in Teflon and will serve his full term Musk could fall out of grace at any moment making his endorsement rather undesirable for anybody.

Canada has "centrist" and right wing media outlets. It has virtually none (maybe tyee...) truly left-leaning ones.

Also, kind of content here may reflect folk views in general. Social media is mostly about echo chambers anyway...

I wonder whether alternative solutions were discussed: like Google retaining integration but breaking off Maps division into it's own entity that has to use same API's as everyone else and use the same integration points. Would've been more user-friendly thing to do.

it's about "next PM" And Plolievre does qualify.
