Well, a lot of Canadians wanted to export more of our resources overseas.

Thank you, Eurasian Pygmy shrew mouse!
Carney is effectively a moderate conservative, which is what a lot of Canadians have wanted for a long time. I've said it for years - the first party to field a moderate conservative that isn't a total lunatic will sweep elections.
And I hope the fact that it was the LPC to do so rips the CPC to pieces. I'd love to see that party split again. Their stubborn backing of a mini-Trump cost them one of the most historical election leads in Canadian history.
It is truly the worst.
And unlike many other injuries in/on the body there is very little you can do to relieve the pain.
Luring people into doubting elections and democratic processes is a staple practice of fascist politics.
It's a win/win move for them. It casts doubt on democratic institutions and processes which weakens them and it, if successful, also may gain them a couple seats.
The public needs to start pushing back against behaviour like this. This was not even a super close election; there are very clear seat count differences between the incumbent and opposition parties.
Cracked tooth that crushed the nerve inside. Was in tears after hours of agony snd finally getting to see a dentist.
I’ve never been so excited for a root canal. I nearly fell asleep during the procedure because I was so relieved.
Every so often, yeah. Usually $10-$20CAD or so.
Social media and news is overwhelmingly controlled or otherwise influenced/flooded by the right or those acting on their behalf.
Nothing is going to change until there are real punitive measures that are enforced as well as regulatory changes.
To drive while using one's cellphone is to risk killing other people around you. And the punishment for doing such is usually only a couple hundred dollars, assuming you are even pulled over in the first place.
That fine needs a few more 0's as well as the nullification of ones licence. Once people understand that getting caught while driving on the phone will financially ruin them then they might stop and think before doing it.
I live in a tiny space and don't have the space to work on my bike myself other than very minor things. I take it to my local bike ship every year or two for a once-over of the brakes, tires, drivetrain, shifting, etc.
Basic preventative maintenance I do here at home. I cleaned the drivetrain and waxed my chain just the other day.
