@mark-carney.bsky.social you remind me of going out shopping to get some tape, you buy all kinds of things get home and realize you forgot to buy tape. Drones seem to be that for you. 12 mths later STILL no mass production of drones using our automotive downturn 🤷 France did it, we can too #cdnpoli
French vehicle manufacturer Renault will start building long-range attack drones at its Le Mans and Cléon plants.
Renault will produce up to 600 of the drones per month, with some employees voluntarily transferred from the automotive chassis and motor lines.

Corporations and billionaires are the winners of the BC NDP budget, while working people are forced to foot the bill.
Eby’s cuts abandon $10-a-day childcare, cancels public housing, and puts thousands of public servants out of work.

Commentators be damned, I'm enjoying the #cbc #olympics on Mute. Also the replays are on another section of the website not the replays section because f'you that's why. 🤡 Even other family members have reported the same thing, just mute it. I wish there was just Olympic feed only, no commentators

By voter turnout it looks like this:
43% vs 30% vs 19% vs 5%, thus FPTP 43% Ford wins. Three times in a row 🤡
Or 43% vs (30% + 19% + 5%), thus FPTP 54% coalition wins🎉
Ontarians need to finally learn the latter instead of endlessly goldfish-brain repeating the former 🤷🤦🤡🔫

If the party leaders LIBNDPGRN continue to deny a coalition because their delusions of grander are more important than Ontarians, then Ford has already won on the split vote. It's basic math.
@beynate.bsky.social must be asked before he's anointed leader, if he'll form a coalition. If no, Ford wins

If the NDP would stop playing games with 5% candidates, on just 30 ridings, ridings they lose anyway, those ridings would stop giving away Conservative seats. Then a coalition gov could be made. If LIBNDPGRN made a coalition, have votes go to GRN in those 30 ridings, then Ford can lose

How it works (long thread incoming...)
First off Ontario has too many parties to support FPTP. This ensures we don't have a democracy. 45.4% turnout in 2025 is just a plurality, not a democracy. We don't have laws to force a 50% winner. Doing so requires ranked ballot, or fewer parties

still can't believe ontario keeps voting for a guy whose idea of making things better for its residents is "force way more debt on university students," "build spa literally no one wanted," and "dig underground car tunnel literally no one asked for" like how are we this masochistic
