Went to see Weapons. It's good, but there was a Stephen King movie in the previews and I think we really need to start asking ourselves what is up with Western culture if 1 out of every hundred movies is from one guy.

So many trumpy ideas... tax cuts, huge increase in military spending, circumventing environment and indigenous consultation, huge subsidies for private business.... Oh wait, those are all of Carney's plans. PP is afraid of Carney because they now have nothing to fight about other than trans kids.

I've found that many people who hate unionized workers would much rather put their energy into hating those workers rather than trying to better their own workplace. "You get paid too much!" "Why don't you unionize to get paid more?" "Well... That might be hard!!! Hating is easy!!!"

We keep getting told to support Canadian businesses. But no one bothers to add the caveat "support Canadian businesses... that support Canadian workers". Don't support Canadian businesses that use unpaid labour to extract a few extra cents in share price for the few.

Gavin Newsome is the Mark Carney of America. Canada just elected a conservative to defeat the more conservative party. Tax cuts, massive military spending, trashing human rights... etc. that's what we got. But the conservative party list so ... Yay?

It is in no way a mathematical reality. It is, at best, a psychological one. The only thing splitting the vote is the BELIEF that 2 parties are similar. If no one thinks the NDP and liberals are at all the same, the NDP doesn't pull votes from the libs to let the CPC win.
Dodecahedron (@dodechedrononon.bsky.social)
One takeaway from Gaza is that maybe voting for the 2nd worst party to beat the worst party gets you... genocide. It quite demonstrably doesn't stop genocide. Almost everyone I know voted "The conservatives can't win! Elbows up!" And there's genocide we're doing nothing about.
Dodecahedron (@dodechedrononon.bsky.social) reply parent
Vote splitting is a CPC/Liberal invention perpetuated under the false narrative that the Liberals are a "leftie" party. One hopes the electorate gets dissuaded from that now. Shame it took genocide to make the distinction clear.

Based on my experience in government I expect this to work half as well as the pessimistic estimates. Even trained people in government find regulations to often be vague/ambiguous/unclear. When this regulation says "state" does it mean state, state or state. *LLM hallucinated wildly*

Think about how little you've heard of the genocide since the Iran bombing. It's still happening. That's the normalization of genocide. You're living through a time of not just genocide but a time when it becomes acceptable to not look and let genocide happen.
