  • It’s a good tactic because whatever lies the Whitehouse comes up with to defend against the first few leaked things might be countered by the next few leaked things. They have no idea what is available to be leaked next so have to be careful what they say.

    If it all came out at once they would know exactly what they have to work with when crafting their story.

    As well, coming out a little bit at a time means people can focus and pay attention to the details, discuss it.

    If 20,000 emails were all of a sudden leaked hardly anyone would care because no one would be talking about the same things at the same time and the details get lost


  • It’s definitely something I expected to happen and still prefer over PP and the conservatives being in charge, but even though I didn’t vote NDP doesn’t mean I prefer this outcome over NDP being in power.

    I voted liberal because my riding is largely conservative and it would be lucky to turn red and a miracle to go orange

    If we had a different electoral system I would have gone 1 NDP 2 Green 3 Liberal and 4 Conservative in ranked choice.

    Unfortunately we are currently stuck with first past the post leading to my riding voting blue with a narrow lead over red and hardly any voters for orange and green.


  • I think the lawmakers here are maybe not considering all of the consequences.

    Yes a bike won’t be able to cause as much damage to another biker or a vehicle if they don’t stop at a stop sign and then hit one.

    Especially when compared to a vehicle hitting another vehicle.

    But those aren’t the only two things at a stop sign or intersection. There are also pedestrians crossing the street, often with aight telling them that it is safe to do so. People with disabilities like blindness, people with children, etc.

    What happens if there is a line of vehicles to the left of the bike lane blocking the view of the cyclist and they keep going straight since it’s a three way intersection, no road on the right so no vehicles to even worry about, and then a mother with a baby in a carriage steps out from in front of the vehicle at the front?

    Sure a bike won’t do as much damage as a vehicle, but it can still certainly do a lot of damage in the right circumstances.




  • I’m also tired of the stagnation, but I do prefer not moving forward if the other option is moving backwards which I think pollievre would entail.

    I just wish people would go e NDP or green a chance and see what the fuck happens. Might be bad, might be good, who knows until it happens.








  • But if that’s normal for a person, wouldn’t it still be concerning that these people are seeking out a product which effectively doubles the normal amount someone not on the supplement typically consumes naturally?

    If the average person consumes 0.1 / kg of body weight, wouldn’t this make it so they are now consuming 0.2 / kg of body weight?

    I know it’s still not %1600 and instead a %100 increase but still could be concerning.



  • There a free to play online game called Palia that’s pretty chill.

    Not as farm intensive as stardew, but you do have a few plots to grow crops and you can refine them into jams and pickled goods, etc.

    Can also cook your food into meals, give gifts to villagers to build up relationships, and each villager has a story and background to learn.

    There is also mining, tree felling, plant foraging, animal hunting, fishing, etc.

    It’s a first person 3D world, and I haven’t tried it with controller but I imagine it would be fine.

    It’s very chill, there is pretty much no negatives for any action or inaction that you take.

    Oh also you can build your house on your plot of land and decorate it with a shit ton of decorative furniture and nic knacks.

    Main storyline quests are not too bad either, there is a story to the world that develops as well.




  • I was hoping to get more information on the historical budgets, and interesting found that Canada post has their annual reports available to be downloaded and viewed on their website

    However, from 2004 to 2017 you can get really detailed reports such as

    And more

    But starting 2018 and onwards it only shows bullshit paragraphs about the president’s message and select pieces of information, not raw data, which is also the year they supposedly started to loss money instead of be profitable.

    I don’t like how non-transparent that seems. I was also trying to find what the budget was historically and when or if it has been raised to keep up with inflation but it’s too early to do that on my phone

    Avian flu doesn’t have 100% mortality, birds survive it all the time these ostriches aren’t that special medically or scientifically, just lucky.

    We don’t quarantine people forever because they are people, not animals.

    There is also president to set, because if they get an exception every farm down the road will ignore avian flu outbreaks because it might mean 40% of their flock can survive instead of all of the flock being killed and then tie up the courts forever fighting dozens of farms in court instead of just one.
