The very definition of genocide.

You'd think that Israelis would be more self-aware, but there's plenty of videos of them cheering the seige of Gaza and the bombing of children. I don't want to paint them all with the same brush, but there's a metric fuckload of people in those crowds.

I like the idea that politicians are held to a higher standard, but I can't imagine it would be easy to enforce. If it was a financial penalty, it would encourage corruption. If the penalty was an exclusion from running in the next election, the group that makes that determination could be weaponized. It would be difficult to structure.

Heh... I like the idea of a 'blue line' 'centre ice' party... Every Canuck should know what it means, and it's a nod to our Hockey heritage, but I can totally see it getting mixed up with the nazi police 'thin blue line' bullshit.

Then what's the spin you want to hear from a politician that would make you vote for them? (That is, spin that isn't full of racism and rhetoric about the other side.)

I think it's a false division, which is stoked by far-right leaning politicians. I'd like to believe that even people who lean right politically are still for functioning public education and health care. The issue is that people aren't doing as well as they remember doing 20 years ago for a variety of very solvable issues.

 

I think a majority of Canadians are kind, hardworking, and want what's best for their families, friends, neighbours, and the country.

What does a brand new political party platform look like to appeal to an overwhelming majority of Canadians?

Nope, there's a mad rush to get as many cargo ships through as possible before the Seaway freezes in January. The timing is perfect.

The way I do it (cast iron pan on the BBQ, screamin' hot at 700+C) is super delicious. So much so that I think I might fire up a steak this weekend. Gotta check the weather forecast to see if it's worthwhile.

I clearly need to get better weed then... I don't see, feel, hear, taste, or smell anything that's not there when I've had some gummies. All I get it a good night's sleep.

Par for the fucking course. Remember how his crackhead brother cost Toronto nearly $100M in cancellation fees, wasted work, and then probably hundreds of millions more in lost productivity by writing a one page memo on mayoral letterhead cancelling Transit City?

It infuriates me that people think conservatives are good with money. They burn through hundreds of millions in utter and complete bullshit while championing 'efficiencies' and burning the system down from the inside.

I rarely ever use the brakes, even in the city -- I've become accustomed to letting off the gas at the correct distance for the regenerative braking to bring the car to a stop at the line. There's a good chance I might not replace the brakes for 10+ years.

Voter suppression is why the turnout was so low. For WEEKS prior to the election, all you saw in newspapers, TV, and internet was how dominating DoFo's lead was.

 

I work in a niche inside a niche. I deal with terabytes of storage, massive servers, a variety of storage tech, and I've been in interested in computers in general for... Around 40 years. (Yeah, I'm old.)

I have my own single person company and have worked in 40+ US states, done assignments in the UK, Norway.
