Congratulations, Canada, on flushing PP down the loo.
Next up is the Aussie election. Hopefully Dutton and Rinehart’s Trump/Musk dynamic gets sent packing in a similar fashion.

A Liberal minority, but a de facto majority since (from my understanding) the Bloc Québécois generally don't show up when the issues covered in the House of Commons don't pertain to Quebec. So subtract their 11.5 seats from 172, and that line moves back to 161 for the de facto majority... most days! They have a few slippery floor tiles to walk around, they just have to make sure they don't piss off both the BQ and NDP. My personal opinion - being someone who is on the far left, economically speaking - NDP is actually closer to my values in that regard. I'm a big UBI guy, and I also believe strongly in investing in automation and any infrastructure that allows for the artisanal industry to thrive... although, Greens are more the UBI party, not NDP. The Greens need to do a lot better in Canada. Careny's an egghead, so I'm quite happy that he's at the helm, rather than someone who is more or less just branding. We'll see what happens. And I'll be voting for the first time in Canada in the next election. |
I would vote Green, did last time, but thanks to the winner takes all system people give up on smaller parties, including me this time.
Last time green got 6.55% of the votes, good for 22 seats but only got 4. 85% of Green voters were not represented.
This time only 1.2% of people still voted for Green, and again 75% of those are not represented, 1 seat instead of 4.
NDP is heading the same way, should have had 55 seats last election but only got 24. Now they should still get 22 seats but only get 7. 68% of NDP voters are not getting representation in parliament.
Liberal is the big winner in the current system, they took an extra 44 seats last time, still getting an extra 19 seats this time.
The conservatives won the popular vote last time, but lost 3 seats with the current system. (This time they are even with the popular vote)
At least the government is a bit more representative of the people for the next 4 years, last term was very lopsided.
White House says Amazon's decision to desplay tariff-based price increases on products is a "a hostile and political act by Amazon," who they accuse of working with "a Chinese propaganda arm."

Please highlight this story.
ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago.

ICE are a bunch of Nazi fucks. Gestapo motherfuckers. I have zero respect for anyone working for this organisation.

And it's also Oklahoma, which is run by fascists who admire Trump and probably won't give this family any help.

I feel this in my bones. I'm NDP All the way (They're the ones actually proposing positive change that would fix a lot of the problems here)...but they never win and I was more interested in strategically voting to keep the conservatives out than trying to make a statement.
It was more important to shut down PP man and his trumpanzee tribe than it was to get the NDP or Green in power. Liberals tend to either trip at the starting line or give up before reaching the finish line so I don't LIKE them...but on the progressive scale of 1-10 (10 being most progressive 1 being Trumpanzees) they're like a 5.5? 6 maybe? SLIGHTLY progressive but not really enough to get shit done.
It doesn't help that 90% of politics is just shutting down anything the opponent wants to do so no matter who's in charge nothing gets done, but still.

I don’t understand why Trump’s fascist barbie got so triggered over this:

If the tariffs are so incredible, isn’t it just great that their effect are being displayed, so MAGA can see them and feel good about them?
