Life time of living in BC has given me an appreciation for the absurd in politics and real life. Play bridge quite badly. Used to write. Love train travel. Happily married 40 years to man who does not play bridge and hates trains. I don't donate.

Workcamps provide an environment that can promote the transmission of infections (quote from workplace safety north re: covid) if people are getting infected with syphilis, and then dispersing to their homes in a wide geographical area, the spread is going to be wide. Maybe strains can be tracked.

I was blaming the work camps.

Maybe Poilievre wants to bring down the govt and force an election so his leadership review won't go ahead?
It seems like rather a waste of taxpayer money, but when has he not wasted taxpayer money?

I was surprised that no journalist (that I could see) investigated the banners.

He would be the Ivanka Trump of the delegates in any high level meeting.

I don't know what happened with O'Toole. I think his image consultants tanked him when they did the whole "top gun" thing. What's wrong with being a navigator? (which was his actual job)

I hope there is a back room somewhere where small
c operatives are planning a new party. There needs to be a choice of another party that mushy middle voters (most of us) can choose when we're ready to turf the Liberals. Both Mulroney and Harper had decent cabinets. PP has nothing to offer.

We don't need to be "world class." We're already Canada class.

Not to put down American craftsmen, but this is fairly specialized work. Are a bunch of furriners going to be brought in to build it?
Or will it look like the lobby of a Radisson?

Maybe we should call it No Czars.

I find his anti-DEI nonsense very hypocritical. The opposite of merit hires is "guy your dad played golf with" hires.

Drove past ostrich farm yesterday. Bright lights, RCMP, a few protesters. There is nothing on Supreme Court docket that I can see.
How much is this going to cost us all by the time it's over and done with?

Drives me crazy and is also a foretelling of what will happen with AI. Knowledge will be the conglomerate of sludge.
The bright ideas will be reduced to outliers than never get their chance to shine.

I don't think we understand just how bad the decline of the Internet is to knowledge.

3 years ago, I could perform a very basic search in any engine and get an absurd number of relevant links, research articles, etc.

Today, I can perform the same search and find absolutely nothing.

I can't see either of those possibilites capturing the hearts and minds of the racist homophobe base.

The final results of the by-election haven't been posted yet - that's what I'm looking for. (advance and special ballots)
