CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@ZenHeathen I liked Layton, but a politically connected friend told me he and Harper shared the goal (obsession perhaps) of destroying the LPC (Harper would get the “right-leaning” Liberals and the NDP would get the progressives). Mulcair was chosen because they thought he could carry Quebec AND appeal to disaffected Liberals. My friend thought it was a stupid idea. His comment to me when I expressed my reservations about Mulcair and voting NDP was, “he’s no different than Harper. Vote for Trudeau if you want someone more progressive.” @AlisonCreekside

@crispius Poilievre to remain turd, Conservatives looking to repeat table call "Tory party of 2"

@Philip @OpenMediaOrg The requirement for reform is legitimate in my view. Where I do agree with the opposition on the Bill, is in regards that the limitations or technical and legal constraints are too vague. The privacy safeguards are weak as well as the consequences of, or meaningful oversight and accountability aren't explicit enough either.All these need to be properly addressed before the bill is passed, if it is to pass at all. Too serious to be half assed.On that we agree.

@Ajgreycloud2 @mayintoronto @OpenMediaOrg I picked up a lot of knowledge in 15 years as a developer, but I don't know how to do any of that ‍️ sorry governments, it's a #wontfix for me

@pinhman> we may soon find ourselves with a runaway wealth inequalityI'd say we're there already, and have been for a long time. Even exponential growth starts off slowly.Many years ago (1998?) I heard two men in suits talk about the shoeshine stands in the Toronto underground shopping. One said "It's nice to see lots of thriving independent businesses." The other said "Those aren't thriving businesses. What you're seeing is the polarization of wealth."#CDNpoli #CanPoli #Wealth #Poverty

@Luchador Delicious irony, wouldn't you say?

@avilewis I reserve judgment after the new leader is elected... (you know, Tom Mulcair and all) but I'm delighted one of y'all is on Mastodon!

@JEmphatically Just a glance at it, and it screams AI slop.

@atomicker In a minority government, the parties are expected to negotiate and compromise in order to get legislation passed. The fact the he think that's "stealing his ideas" is telling about his lack of knowledge about the parliamentary system.

Talk about saying the quiet part out loud!Danielle Smith said the province believes the bill is reasonable and justified. “That’s why it’s not being introduced with the notwithstanding clause.” #abpoli #cdnpoli #fascism
