So much of what we know comes from "oops"

There are no communist regimes...

Both Russia and China are authoritarian dictatorships operating on a semblance of oligarchy controlled capitalism at this point.

Overrepresented may not be correct, the majority of the english speaking world is far to the left of the US. Even the US population is like 60-70% left leaning, it's just that the left has lower voter participation rates.

I didn't see any videos posted yet. So it was just speculation on my part.

It could easily be blood from falling to the ground or even getting jumped on by the secret service, old people bleed easily.

I'd be amazed if that was blood from a gunshot, if it was he missed dying by literally an inch.

Just pointing out that Musk is an immigrant.

Born in South Africa, immigrated to Canada to avoid military service, then used Canadian citizenship to apply for and obtain US citizenship.

If you bring a case against someone in bad faith, you shouldn't be able to prosecute it again when you get caught. Otherwise there's no consequence for the state when they don't play by the rules.

At a range, sure. At home, sure. On the street, sure.

On a movie set, with someone who's entire job it is to make sure this shit doesn't happen handing it to you? No

Did you read WHY it was dismissed?

It was due to the actions of the police and prosecutor withholding evidence improperly.

Most residents aren't on these types of plans. The ones that are turn shit off, or pay through the nose.

Trump is 78, he's fucking old too.

He's not a representative of the government, what personal business would Trump have with Orban?

If he's doing it for diplomatic purposes it's illegal.

Uber's reply to the new laws.

 

This is the true Canada, open to all ideas. Let's keep it this way.

 

Personally, it seems stupid not to have a liaison in high schools. This is where teens establish "bad" patterns, and every single one they manage to save early is one less problem for decades in the future.

 

Unfortunately, it looks like he's going to elected in a couple years. I just hope people remember after a term of the Conservatives cutting important environmental policies like the carbon tax, that they will have failed to make like more affordable AND fucked up the environment more.

The conservative parties that won in the UK didn't manage to make things more affordable, the conservative party that won in Australia didn't manage it either, no party anywhere has managed it.

This crisis isn't caused by local government zoning policies, approval red tape, or anything else that the parties are talking about. It's caused by landowners (including people who own only one property) using a home as an investment.

You cannot have homes appreciate in value faster than inflation (investments) and also have affordable housing. It's impossible. That's literally just a pyramid scheme.

Until the government starts implementing policies that start reducing existing home prices, this will not be fixed. Building more units doesn't do this unless you build impossibly (literally impossible) large numbers.

So stop voting with your emotions and vote with your brain.

 

In case anyone was wondering what happened at the grocery stores over the last couple days.

 

Because reasons?
