Ahhh, that makes sense. I'm American and hadn't read/heard about that part of Canadian politics in awhile, so I appreciate the response!

That discrepancy hit me as well. How are the seats determined?

Yep, they come in from random races all over the country. It would be great if I had the money to throw around if I liked the candidates, but that's just not happening. I started spamming Stop a few weeks ago and thankfully the texts have dried up. It was ridiculous!

That's exactly where I took my argument with 2 coworkers last week. I tried multiple methods to appeal to empathy or logic, but both failed. So I just declared that we aren't changing any policies with our discussions so maybe we just focus on issues that have a more direct impact on our lives, like worker's rights, healthcare, environmental issues, etc.

This hit me like a brick to the face earlier too. I'm relieved to see plenty of others share my sentiment!

But who else still jams out to 30 secs to mars every now and again?

But sometimes this can be uncomfortable... Are you able to just confidently walk up and grab it or do you loudly first ask "DO YOU NEED A HAND?!"

Most of the time this makes them super uncomfortable, which is great! Better them than me. But other times they're way too okay with it.

My wife and I made the decent walk at least 6-7 times while we were there for 10 days 2 years ago. The fried onions and sauces they put on make the hot dogs so delicious! One of multiple solid reasons to visit, for sure.
