Or at least demanding she resign. I bet there’s more support for that than for separation. You should all do it.

It’s the 5th largest of Alberta’s 37 ridings. I doubt it’s even in the top 20 nationwide, but I can’t be bothered to go compare areas that long.

I’d say it’s more like insisting your parents legally give you their basement as a separate property.

Yeah, the cost is so incredibly tiny. To take the full general election as an example, it cost each of us about $20. Is a fair and democratic election not worth $20 to you? It sure as heck is to me.

Maybe not PR. But ranked choice voting sure would have!

Yeah, this might actually be convincing to those in power now. The eternal problem with electoral reform is: why would you change a system which you just won with?

Thanks for the explanation! I’m familiar with the voting reform issue (and still salty Trudeau didn’t carry through on it), but some other readers might not be.

That reminds me - what the heck is up with the candidates in Carlton? Who are all these independents?

I had a past employer tell employees in a group meeting that you should stay home when sick, because coming to work just spreads it around and has a worse impact on the whole team, and therefore the business. We all stood there thinking, “OK, that makes sense… so why are you not paying for sick days, again?”

That’s not an answer. Why do you want Poilievre sitting across from Trump? What is the upside you see to that scenario?

Except when asked point-blank what his position is on his party wearing MAGA gear, Poilievre refuses to address it. Silence is complicity, plus Poilievre has been doing everything he can over the past several years to ape Trump.

Kind of splitting hairs, but a company that can let go of “scores” of employees and still exist is not a small business.

Relevant XKCD: https://xkcd.com/2030/

As a software developer, it perfectly summarizes my position.

Yoga is correct - the average riding is 100-120k people. The smallest riding in BC currently is 89k, so unless they were going to give BC more ridings it makes sense.

The only ridings which are significantly below that mark are:

• Labrador, it’s an entire island
• The territories, with 1 riding each

Labrador is perhaps debatable because Newfoundland has other ridings it could join, but I think the case for having a riding cross a strait is much weaker than splitting a city in a remote area. This is not unique to Prince George, and sharing a riding with people 600km away is just reality when you’re talking about remote, sparsely populated areas.

Meanwhile the C-suite are getting record compensation and stock buybacks. There is no “budget shortfall”, it’s just typical greed at the top that’s hoping the rank and file will swallow it.

Of course it’s not for fun. It’s for something more important than anything else - their bottom line.

I think OP is conflating the amount that a YT channel sees per ad vs the amount that YT would keep. These are not the same thing.

Plus, YT gets their share of every single ad seen every day. The economy of scale obviously is paying off.

I think most people with critical thought realize that’s the true intent. But the mask-on justification is to prevent campaigning at the polling line.

It’s broken now? I’d say that’s a bold assumption that it ever worked in the first place.

Edit: to be clear, I mean that it is and always has been an impossible problem. The only reason it ever worked is because some broker company wanted it as a feature, not because anything compelled them to give original artists a cut. And that’s before you consider the question, “but how do you know the NFT was made by the original artist?”
