right wing learned to consolidate (US, Alberts, and now… BC with Libs just plain converting to Con) Left does not and under present electoral system Left will be in disadvantage in perpetuity. (I know Libs are not left, but they are further Left than Cons)

I didn’t say that either 😉 However there’s plenty of evidence suggesting PP is on a winning trajectory and NDP having abysmal chances of winning either majority or form minority government

“are you a chicken Marty? Are you?” jeez… so mid-to-highschool 🤦

Inrespect Charlie, but presently NDP is doing poorly countering PP ascendance

of course BRICS members would be welcoming POTUS47… he’ll ruin whatever is left of US for them

“Grifters United”

we can only hope fb implodes sooner rather than later. I personally know multiple people working there who are very decent human beings who need to pay bills. I just hope their current trajectory will force employee action and paralyze fb long enough to hurt. Unlike other places it’s not so simple to just hire a load of IT professionals and have any meaningful results short term, esp. if they have not been ramped up to speed by their colleagues. So it’s not impossible, bowever tolerance threshold is kind of high for any action to take place. Wads of cash, unpaid mortgages and all. Employees of big tech are truly living in gold cages…

that was a weasely answer. Now imagine PP at the helm dealing with full-on US onslaught… will he really stand up for Canada or just for pockets of few Canadians? Any sane politician would distance themselves from Musk, the un-elected human equivalent of genital cancer. While POTUS47 is covered in Teflon and will serve his full term Musk could fall out of grace at any moment making his endorsement rather undesirable for anybody.

Canada has “centrist” and right wing media outlets. It has virtually none (maybe tyee…) truly left-leaning ones.

Also, kind of content here may reflect folk views in general. Social media is mostly about echo chambers anyway…

I wonder whether alternative solutions were discussed: like Google retaining integration but breaking off Maps division into it’s own entity that has to use same API’s as everyone else and use the same integration points. Would’ve been more user-friendly thing to do.

it’s about “next PM” And Plolievre does qualify.

funny, on the same day we get a headline about Germany energy prices dipping into negatives mainly due to renewables… hmmm

Interestingly Luigi is pretty much guilty by default, so why stack the court and make it into a spectacle that it is? He can easily be convicted with less coverage, and pomp surrounding the trial. So this is unlikely to “stack the court” but more message to the masses: “we own you. there’s nothing you can do”.

US runs trillions in debt and even if for a second we assume US is 100x size of Canada, we’re still better off proportionally. Everybody, exhale. 😃

well after Pelosi torpedoed AOC there’s little surprise. That person is dead set against progressives tanking them at every opportunity. She is made of steel and were effective in some things that were net positive but she’s wielding too much power with Democrats and is virtually unchecked.

Liberals liberallybsupport corporations, Conservative conserve corporation’s money while NDP wants to get to power an playing “hard to get”… in other words right at this moment nobody truly stands for workers rights. NDP are the closest to even begin defending workers while the other two are good at playing to fears and paying lip service to workers. We’re not where US going to be come Jan, but we’re rapidly chasing them

that’s just the thing comservatives turned the entire system into game “us vs them” and liberal joimed in a bit later as they lack the capacity to redefine the game. Progressives get shunned by their respective wings and orthodoxy gets entrenched making it even more of “us vs them”. I’d love to find a way to abolish parties and force representatives to actually represent all people from their electorate area… but I’m a dreamer.

which is why I asked as it was not an ask for the same hardeare but whether there are othrr instances with any hardware…

dell precision 5690 with caldigit tb4 hub it’s actually in bugzilla case if memory serv3s me right 😉

so he’s not president yet and already backing out of his election pledges… we can only hope it’ll piss off his electorate, but it won’t, they’ll just get angrier at opponents
