I live in Newfoundland -- our healthcare system doesn't suck because of right wing assholes exactly, in my opinion, it sucks because Newfoundland politics is rife with nepotism and cronyism.
I would still rather this than a world where my family can be bankrupted if someone gets the wrong sickness at the wrong time.
I don't know that I agree that social definitions always have to match legal definitions.
Legal systems tend to be conservative and it's social progressive groups that push the public consciousness enough to eventually shift the legal system.
Until 1983, marital rape wasn't legally considered rape in Canada. The social understanding that you could rape a spouse needed to exist before the laws could follow.
I agree that it's nuanced and people need to be educated on the difference between legal definitions and social definitions, but I don't think what you're proposing is the only way.
I mean, I'm probably voting Liberal (the NDP have had a strong showing in my riding in the past, so I'm not entirely decided), but I kind of believe this.
Carney is obviously the least comfortable out of the main candidates in speaking in French. I don't believe the cost is a real factor. Maybe "afraid" isn't the right word, but it does seem to be strategic in a way that avoids potential negative exposure for him. I have mixed feelings about it.
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.
lol Were you just looking for a comment so you could flex about your property deals?
Personally, I'm a millennial and I'm okay -- we recently sold our starter home and we got way more than we were expecting for it. But it didn't make me feel "smart" it made me feel gross that the market seems so rigged.
I'm not talking about individuals, I'm talking about trends. The priority for housing should first and foremost be to house people.

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.
Enjoy your scam media and unwarranted sense of superiority 😘
Think of the men who go on George Street. Do you really think that they would all react with polite understanding if they got hit on by another man?
Uh-huh, I'm sure societies really thrive when their people abandon reality and embrace arrogant magical thinking.
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?

PP came out with even stronger statements backing Israel, so...
Yeah, that's fair
Where... are you seeing "kill all men" discourse in Canada?

Lol, I'm a dummy. Thanks for the info. I live in a province that has never had an NDP premier, so my brain didn't think to check.
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.
I like and respect him as a politician, but is he NDP-leaning? He strikes me as more centre.
An amazing number of people think "I'm mad at Liberals" = "The cons must be better"
Yeah, not a valid excuse in my mind. It shows a disturbing lack of responsibility/accountability.

Carney declined to do a common/popular debate in Quebec.
Yep, this is where I am too.
