And nothing of value was lost.

If you get excited over the idea of public executions let alone the death penalty, you should be nowhere near not just a seat in government, but also nowhere near civilised society in general. Seeing people's deaths as a source of entertainment is downright inhuman.

Why why WHY must Charlie Angus be stepping out of politics? I like Singh as a person, but he lacks proper leadership skills that the NDP desperately needs right now.

I have seen Angus' name in the media equally, if not more than Singh, and that's incredibly impressive given that Singh HAS to be covered by the media as a party leader. Angus doesn't. The petitions he's put out about Tesla, Elon Musk, and how Canada should respond to tariffs, on top of his GREAT speech denouncing the U.S. government is EXACTLY what we need right now.

If Singh dropped as NDP leader and Charlie Angus took his place, I would vote for the NDP without so much as flinching and do whatever I could in my heavily Conservative district to get whoever the NDP candidate is in parliament. This man is incredible and it's a damn shame he's not party leader.

Not a fan of the Senators and don't follow hockey much, however came across this in my feed since I sort by New and Local by default.

The community looks kinda dead. Lemmy has a disadvantage to Reddit in that the userbase is a lot smaller, so more specific communities such as specific NHL teams need a little more heavy lifting to get them off the ground. It's a self-perpetuating problem unfortunately. People don't engage with the community because there's no activity, but there's no activity because people don't engage with the community.

You could post news about the Senators every now and again to show people there are others on Lemmy who are just as interested in the Senators as you are. Heck, depending on if you're up to it, you might even be able to ask the other mods or an instance admin to be a mod of the community after a bit of posting activity. Just on first glance it looks like the community could attract more users if the sidebar was beefed up a tad.

Are you even Canadian? That's a pretty dense comment to make.

Indigenous people are much more susceptible to homelessness and addictions due to generational trauma that the government has inflicted on them and their communities through residential schools and the Sixties Scoop.

So yeah, sorry for being racist by... reads notes... acknowledging issues that negatively affect other races.

That's a shame. Genuinely.

For all the crap I give Danielle Smith, and rightfully so, I really enjoyed the idea she pitched of Alberta becoming a hub for the manufacturing of Hydrogen EV vehicles. It's the exact type of diversification we need in this economy.

Alberta workers are scared about moving from the oil rigs and sands because the work culture here is a lot more about working with your hands rather than working with your brain. That's not to say Alberta workers are stupid of course, just that a lot of the workers here prefer blue-collar jobs over white-collar ones since that's what they're most familiar with.

Hydrogen vehicle production here in Alberta sounded so fucking perfect. It not only diversifies our provincial economy, but also diversifies the EV market by providing options that aren't Lithium-Ion, which comes with a myriad of concerns for a number of people. In my opinion, this move could have been revolutionary.

I know this doesn't involve vehicle manufacturing, but regardless this is a bad look for the idea overall.

Fucking good. Trudeau made a campaign promise not to go through with purchasing those F-35 planes to begin with and went ahead with it anyway. The deal should have been off the table to begin with, especially with the shit build quality these things have for the insane price point they have.

All that money could be put towards lifting up our fellow Canadians in homelessness and addictions treatment, especially those who are indigenous.

The comments were deplorable, good thing he's stepping out of the race.

I do have to wonder though, is this out of actual remorse, or because of back door conversations with the Liberal party to ensure they don't risk losing a seat?

OP does realize that it is possible to be equally frustrated at the minority parties right?

The NDP has broken my trust with their poor performance as of late. Ditch Singh as a leader, and I'll be on board with the party again. Singh's lack of effective leadership skills as a party leader would NOT translate well if it came to him being a COUNTRY leader.

Also the Green party broke my trust with all the backdoor nonsense they had to elect Annamie Paul as party leader when it was clear as day Dimitri Lascaris had better skills as party leader. While they've been winning me back a little seeing Pedneault's performance as a co-leader, May still being the main leader of the party is a hard sell seeing how her work in getting Paul elected as leader literally ended up fracturing the party.
