Then they should be labeled to reflect that.

Unequal bins lead me to wonder if they were cherry picked to tell a specific story. #howToLieWithMaps101

Checks are increasingly a US centric thing. They're almost non existent in Canada, certainly on the personal front, and in Europe the last holdout is France. All they've said is that they're not phasing out checks before 2030, but they 100% are planning on getting rid of them. They're just archaic and far too easy to commit fraud with.

I think the post is literally implying that in previous elections, you absolutely could make the argument that people were being fooled, but that's no longer true. People voting for this guy are doing so not because they've been tricked, but because they want to and are doing so with open eyes.

That website is unfortunately a bit of a joke. It's a good idea on the face of it, but it counts every single promise as the same amount of importance, so creating a new learn to camp program for kids counts the same as overhauling the electoral system.

It also counts the electoral system reform promise as kept, based on the verbiage of the promise, which was a promise to look at doing electoral reform. While that may be what was said, that's not what we were all sold, and definitely counts as a broken promise.

I'm far from a Trudeau supporter, dude did us a dirty by going back on basically every single election promise except legalizing cannabis (i.e. the literal easiest thing to do), but who else do we have? And I'm not talking about just as a liberal leader. Name another halfway decent leader that might be a good option from any party. The last good option I remember is Jack Layton. It's been a revolving door of losers, liars, hypocrites, and outright bigots ever since, and not a single ounce of integrity to be seen.

I think you misspelled "Russia".

You mean like the previous popes, that have been pedophile apologists, rape victim blamers, and Nazi supporters? I think this pope is pretty much par for the course, unfortunately.

I deleted all my content and comments from Reddit. I hear they're having trouble maximizing profits for prospective investors, so I decided to help them reduce their cloud storage costs.
