Great analogy for the man who managed against all odds to bankrupt his casino business.

almost every white, male union member* that I know proudly and repeatedly votes Con, and actively and vocally slags the NDP.

i have read this headline, “and given it more consideration than it is due already. Now, [NYT] fuck off. Then keep fucking off. Fuck off until you come up to a gate with a sign saying ‘You Can’t Fuck Off Past Here.’ Climb over the gate, dream the impossible dream, and keep fucking off forever.“ *

Adelaide Hunter Hoodless was a tireless crusader in Canada against drinking raw milk because so many children died. Her story, and the story of The Women’s Institute is an important part of women’s history that few of us know about.

according to the Maple Scan App, some of French’s mustards (eg. Classic Yellow, Original Yellow, and Honey Dijon) are manufactured in Canada as well as using Canadian mustard seeds. Care in label reading is needed. Your point that they are an American company and there are good Canadian alternatives is a good one. @npub1jay…80k8

I’m not sure that “quiet” is a bad thing anymore. Right now it means much stupid shit isn’t hitting the fan (at least in Canada).

one of the madmen is doing everything that he can to take out the largest country in NATO by getting a whole crew of other madmen installed in government who are gleefully destroying it. Wars are not won or lost by weapons alone.

I know, but we can dream (and write letters and protest and, if the NDP and Greens don’t get their stuff together to become truly viable, maybe a whole bunch of us lefties should join the LPC and take it back). [@david_megginson](https://mstdn.ca/@david_megginson )

upgrading infrastructure and security at port facilities was mentioned on one news broadcast.
Renewable energy projects too, pipelines are huge targets https://www.cbc.ca/news/investigates/nord-stream-pipeline-explosion-ukraine-diver-1.7296527
Health care and hospitals - military spending. Gotta be able to treat the wounded.
The list is endless. Let’s just hope our government is creative, and that they tax the rich and cut fossil fuel subsidies to pay for all of this new “required” spending.

why are we all so afraid that the rich will leave? This is something that we ought to be encouraging. They suck up more than their share of resources, destabilize society, and contribute very little, if anything to the greater good. #TaxThrRich #DontLetTheDoorHitYa

if you go to Remembrance Day services and watch the old veterans parade, they are all in step and look sharp. Most of them have not done drill in many decades, and they have still never forgotten it. I remember walking with my Dad, and as soon as he heard the pipers fire up, he stood up straight as an arrow and started marching in time.

same goes for Eby, but Eby may be more willing/able to try to finesse the situation than Ford who is, as my mother used to say, “a bull in a china shop.”@npub19zy…rrny

it wasn’t so much glass ceilinged as she is just not the right candidate to defeat Pollievre. Too much baggage having been at the forefront of everything the Trudeau government did.

I like @npub1fdr…lvhs ’s ideas for the world to just decouple itself from American tech. Canada has lots of talented people who can figure this stuff out. Heck, maybe we can even get BlackBerry back. https://pluralistic.net/2025/03/03/friedmanite/

I have been thinking about this for awhile, and the only thing that I have come up with is that they have fully bought into the Club of Rome postulations and come to the conclusion that killing off billions of people is the only way to mitigate climate change. The oligarchs et al. think that they and the people they invite into their bunkers will be the ones to survive and they will then have power over whatever is left.

I think that some people who don’t vote really believe that voting for anyone besides CPC or LPC is a “wasted vote.” I haven’t figured out how we persuade them otherwise, but I keep trying. The main parties, and the media keep spewing this narrative that minority governments and coalitions are somehow bad, so we “shouldn’t vote for a party that can’t form a majority. In fact minority govt usually end up being good for us ordinary people.

history may not repeat, but it sure as hell rhymes. The failure of the opposition parties to act responsibly to address the threat is precisely how Mussolini and Hitler came to power.

I meant that no one cares about the spoiled ballots, but my comment could equally apply to the DRO and Poll Clerk. If voting Green is an option, it does send a message to both Libs and NDP that the environment and climate change is important.

vote Green or hold your nose and vote for the party most likely to defeat PP. He is still the worst option. All spoiling your ballot does is piss off the DRO and Poll Clerk who have to do the paperwork for the spoiled ballots, and no one cares about them.

exactly. Singh’s ego is overriding whatever judgment he may have had.

I doubt it. Singh views himself as the successor to Jack Layton. As much as I liked Jack, I did not think that his drive to destroy the Liberals was good. It left us with four years of Harper that we did not need. Not that the Liberals helped themselves at that point, but still.

someone needs to ask the federal NDP how they’re going to feel when PP cancels pharmacare, dental care, the Canada Disability benefit (and more). Idiots.

I was going to choose Debt, but this one seemed to synthesize it all together for me. And, as a side benefit, I really liked how they disproved a lot of the theories that “popular historians” like Harari, Pinker, Diamond et al. have been spouting, despite existing evidence to the contrary, over the past couple of decades.

I remember my parents getting a whole pile of manure from a local farmer dumped on the driveway to be put on their garden and flower beds (no wasteful big plastic bags at that time) . And, yes, I had to help shovel it into the wheelbarrow to take it into the backyard. My folks grew the best veggies and their rhubarb crop was legendary (to the point where everyone who came over in spring got some to take home).
