The problem is that this country is fucking brain-dead and tries to elect conservatives federally every chance they can. Shit, there’s an actual chance somebody as against the general public as Poilivere could be elected. There are actually working class folk out there absolutely excited to fuck themselves and everybody else over by electing him in. Every point they make against Trudeau will very possibly continue or be worse under PP yet they’re out there with raging truck boners hopping to vote him in.
And that has the potential to fuck the entire country over for healthcare instead of just a few lobotomized provinces.
How about a Civics exam that you need to pass in order to vote? If somebody doesn’t know the basics of the government including federal vs provincial vs municipal, then their vote shouldn’t count because they have no underiof what they’re voting for in the first place.
The deaths of two bear cubs of a well-known rare white grizzly — known as Bear 178, but nicknamed Nakoda by locals — in Yoho National Park this week has reignited calls for increased awareness and highway safety for those visiting the mountains....
Don’t blame the cars for their shitty occupants. There are plenty of other things to blame on vehicles, but this isn’t one. This is shit drivers, shit drive tests, and try fact at after you get your license the whole thing just becomes a pay-to-play subscription. Should be mandatory re-tests every time (or every other time) it needs to be renewed.
If you’re traveling through an area where there is the potential for wildlife to yeet itself onto the roard, then chances are there will be signs posted and a reduced speed limit…
This still sounds like shit driving, and as somebody stuck doing pointless commutes to an office and back every day I swear people on the road have gotten significantly worse after the COVID restrictions lightened up.
And generally signs pointing out the potential for deer and other animals crossing. Will probably opt to drive like mad at night through them? Probably, but you can’t fix stupid nor should you let them take away the rights and privileges of the less stupid

I swear we are living among a major population of zombies. The amount of stupidity is too damn high, and it seems to be on the rise, too. The number of people crying about Trudeau, but wanting to vote in Poilivere is so incredibly ass-backwards, but these are the same people who were protesting on government property about tyranny and losing freedoms without any repercussions… Imagine how good the world would be if these people had any modicum of critical thinking skills.
With five million square feet of available space across 47 office towers, downtown Toronto is becoming a tenant’s paradise - and an investor’s potential nightmare
Tangentially, as a homeowner in the GTA I hope this market crashes. I’d love to break even or even take a slight loss on my place. The difference between what I paid 12 years ago and what they’re going for now is just stupid. I’d like to move, but I don’t want to pay the stupid price things are at right now.
Just got a steam deck and immediately checked out the desktop mode, and I was somewhat surprised to see KDE and pacman as opposed to GNOME and apt, I have nothing against the former though a strong preference for the latter, anyone know why Volvo went in this direction?

We don’t have too many immigrants, we have too many houses being wasted as “InVeStMeNtS” and too many rich fucks not paying taxes choking out the economy and social services.
