People don't talk about it much, but a significant chunk of the NDP base (~10%, if I remember correctly) jumped to the Conservatives, not the Liberals, in the last election. Some of these numbers might be them returning?

It's not a great comparison, really - the Manitoba Orange Team more strongly resembles the Federal Red Team in most respects.

Winnipeg suburbs breaking NDP in a federal election is far from a sure thing.

Fuck you, Carney.

The expanded birthright citizenship rules were brought about as a result of a 2023 court ruling, very solidly in the Trudeau era.

I'm not completely opposed to hosting these mega-events, or subsidizing them to a degree. Whatever you might think about the "prestige" factor, they can be a good excuse to ram through valuable infrastructure projects.

But the devil's in the details (and FIFA in this instance is a literal devil), and it's madness to expect an actual profit.

I think it's more about shoddy training and oversight of the staff.

I guess I'll add a more moderate take of "this is probably intended for absolute emergencies like a Biblical plague of locusts or something," but in the name of the Prophets, put guardrails on your emergency measures.

It will be interesting to see what the Senate does with it - they're not as predictable as they used to be.

I only recently discovered this channel, but I find their economics-based energy and climate discussions pretty interesting.

In this episode in particular, they talk a lot about what they think Carney is getting right in his approach to climate (though I wish they would have given more details), as well as something they think he might be getting very, very wrong.

I'm guessing this is hinting that they'll finally be restoring the Klingon War-era "trilogy" of "The Kuvah'Magh", "City on the Edge of Never", and "Past Imperfect".

If true, it will be good to finally restore a lot of Leonard Nimoy's recorded dialogue.

If they can show that Sylvestre et al have committedntreason, then 46.2(e) might be applicable.

Maybe. Is there any credible reason to think that they have access to military or scientific secrets that threaten the government?

As for sedition, it is the use of force as a means of accomplishing governmental change, or advocacy thereof. I don't think that line has been crossed yet.

But as I said, go ahead and investigate. I just doubt there's anything there. Yet.

Yeah, I guess there's some provision somewhere that doesn't require them to amend the entire criminal code every time there's a change in the monarchy?

This is not an article about amending the criminal code, nor is it an article about having the RCMP investigate people for future crimes (at least, I hope not).
