Yes, and this testimony establishes that there was a reason to make the payment, and a reason to falsify them, it’s the story he was trying to bury, now the jury knows it and can make a more informed decision.

NDP’s insistence that PR be the only acceptable voting reform possible is a primary reason we didn’t get voting reform.

NDP could have sided with the LPC and gotten us STV or Ranked Choice, but they sided with the CPC and asked for an unnesswcary referendum and a dealers choice PR system that they knew the LPC wouldn’t be able to support,and wouldn’t pass the senate in any case.

FunderPants,

They didn’t have a majority on the ER committee. So should they have unilaterally ignored the majority report of the other parties and just ram through their own preference for STV? Or maybe abandon their grass roots party supporters and gone with PR, despite the fact STV was party policy, reaffirmed only a year or two before? How about the referendum the NDP supported by voting with the CPC in committee, should the LPC have ignored that and if ignore that, why not the whole thing? If they ran the referendum nothing would have gotten done before the next election anyway. This was honestly more complicated that I think a lot of people give it credit for, and the NDP Alliance with the CPC is no small part of that complication.

FunderPants,

Yes, the people with 44 seats are responsible for their own actions.

FunderPants,

I think you might be a little behind on Chevy EV news. The boltEV is back, the bolt EUV is around, the Blazer is electric and so is the Equinox.

FunderPants,

Yea they fucked up the software at launch pretty bad didn’t they. It’s apparently fixed now though.

FunderPants,

Hope he comes out and talks about the jury again.

FunderPants,

If outkast had as many tarps as they have pets that roof might still be up.

FunderPants,

Also, sometimes things are two things, you can do something to interfere with an election and also for other, secondary reasons.

FunderPants,

It makes sense to delist and stop new players from buying in those areas until the login stuff is sorted out.

FunderPants,

I feel like an outlier here, but this doesn’t bother me at all. I’ve been linking accounts across platform for probably decades. Maybe I would find it slightly annoying if I only had a PC account.

FunderPants,

That’s a huge piss off.

FunderPants,

Yea and that first one should be enough to require Sony to issue refunds to those impacted. The second is personal choice and opinion I guess, if you worry about those things then this is a problem.

FunderPants,

Meanwhile, here in the real world, conservatives are fighting to make it illegal for that unhoused man to sleep.

FunderPants,

If calling the PM wacko is allowed, we are mere weeks away from all the HoC question periods eroding into nothing but name calling. The speaker was right, unparliamentary language bans are a long standing part of our system of governance. Bye bye PP. Bye bye.

FunderPants,

Canada now has interest free student loans and very generous, flexible repayment schedules.

We also directly transfer a lot of money to our colleges and universities that helps keep tuition lower.

FunderPants,

It’s been my experience that international students are more at risk of insecurity due to outdated regulations on the amount of money they must have, increasing costs all around, and restrictions on their ability to work and for their spouse to work.

Combine that with social media culture and communication challenges and we get situations like this, I work with a number of students from India and they speak English well, but differently from a long term Canadian. Often, the english is more direct in word choice and more… bombastic or sales oriented. Combine that with social media presence and you are bound to get culture clash.

So instead of using a more Canadian culturally appropriate phrase, like “here is where to turn when in need” or “this helps me afford rent”, many will just be less cautious and might say “here is how I save hundreds of bucks” or “here is how I get free food”.

That it turns out this guy was struggling like many others, and trying to help people like him is honestly no surprise to me.

FunderPants,

Maybe a bit north during winter, with cold hazards, mutated forests etc.

FunderPants,

That doesn’t even rhyme.

  • If you love meat, keep to the streets.
  • To eat more than rice, stay away from vice.
  • Keep you hands clean, beef not beans.

Okay, well, mine need workshopping too.

FunderPants,

Hold onto your rights folks, cause Pierre is promising to snatch them away.

FunderPants,

You may not care about the constitutional rights of criminals, but maintaining the rights of the lowest of society is exactly how we protect those rights for everyone else. After the incarcerated, who is next?

Googled it (I’m not about to use international minutes for you) and found a YouTube video. It’s marketing for an AI service. Their first point of contact is bland, a conversational AI with a synthetic voice that makes your appointment to talk to a real person about the service.

FunderPants,

Just bonkers.
