Yeah, they elected a rapist so...

Yeah, I have only been able to find American spinach so no spinach for me.

Yep, this is where I am too.

I'm annoyed at having to vote Liberal, to be honest, but I hope this election makes it clear that cozying up to American populists is a losing strategy in Canada.

We need tech regulation.

Here's a great interview that explains why:

In short, in order for democracy to work, we need shared trust. To have shared trust, we need a common basis of reality.

Our current unregulated informational landscape fragments reality and polarizes people because it is the most profitable thing to do, but it is death to a functioning society.

Dude, most Canadians think about the US a lot.

You ever listen to the CBC Power & Politics podcast? 25% - 50% of their coverage is about the US.

Probably for good reason, the US has a lot of influence over our lives. But let's not be delulu.

An amazing number of people think "I'm mad at Liberals" = "The cons must be better"

Is there a practical component to your argument or are you just sticking with ideal hypotheticals.

If this election has shown us one thing, it's that the Conservative party is willing to ignore evidence to double-down on a bad idea.

Yeah, Boomers getting special protections is kind of annoying.

A generation of millenials were told to go to post secondary no matter the cost and then when we did and incurred a ton of debt but the good jobs that were promised to us weren't there, the reaction was "oops, oh well, get fucked I guess".

Maybe if we stopped funneling a billion dollars into "managing" our CPP plan into poorer performance and used that money to increase CPP payouts instead, boomers could afford more of a hit on their housing.

I do wonder if another large contributing factor is that most of our MPs have conflicts of interest when it comes to the real estate market.

In the video, the creator is very clear that this is not an argument to remove the pension fund and he specifically addresses those concerns (twice, at the beginning and end of the video).

Wanting good, responsible management of something most of us pay into is not a bad thing. This should not be a partisan issue (which the creator also says)

Yeah, not a valid excuse in my mind. It shows a disturbing lack of responsibility/accountability.

They have a strong individualist consumer culture. If they can't individually consume their way out of it, many of them think they've done everything they can.

Some of us make medical decisions based on evidence rather than listening to online grifters who make money from creating rage-bait content.

Evidence-based decisions doesn't mean we're LiViNg In FeAr. I barely think about it.

How much online content do you consume about vaccines?

I think the solution is having these agencies be accountable to the accountability metrics that they set up.

Normalizing mismanagement seems short-sighted to me and ultimately only supports the argument that government is "useless" or "broken".

That extra billion going towards healthcare or education or even back into the pension fund could do a world of good.

I also like Nellie for cleaning products. Their dishwashing powder is pretty good.

Big oof

Carney declined to do a common/popular debate in Quebec.

Nice, thanks! I was wondering if I could get a Canadian replacement for my oral B heads.

Where... are you seeing "kill all men" discourse in Canada?

Complaining to other countries? /s
