Good land, they're literally doing "Fellas, is it gay to love your wife?"

Can’t speak to Ontario. But I definitely grew up with phonics as the way I learned in Alberta.

to keep the land currently used as pasture as grassland. Once that economic reason for not breaking that land is gone, people will just break up that land to be used for crops. That has massive impacts on local wildlife and ecosystems.

I am a little skeptical of how well the conversation is going to go in either direction tbh. My observation as a farm kid is that people often miss the ecological benefits side of the cattle industry. On paper the CO2 decrease makes sense, but I have yet to see a good response as to how one is going

Canadian games that already exist. And NOT just whatever Ubisoft puts out! There are so many amazing indie games made in Canada that don't get the ample recognition from their country they deserve.

I mean Jeneroux's resignation might just turn into a Liberal seat anyway. He only won by a small margin anyway, and the conservatives aren't looking super great right now.

I'm finding myself in a similar camp these days. I think the conservatives are really overestimating how many Canadians are okay with MAGA shenanigans. Really they seem most annoyed that the Liberals are now bending back towards being a centrist party. Not being liberal seems to be all the cons can

I won't contest those people don't exist. But I feel like this is a bit of a weird point to make. I know people who bought a house in the 70s working at a grocery store on a single income. Most people's parents aren't white collar upper middle class types. Its a struggle to afford a house in a

Honestly I could see the current Conservative party just imploding on itself if it follows this track. Spiral, boom, "new" right wing party emerges out of the ashes a-la 03' Progressive Conservatives. Well, to be honest I hope this is what happens. But I'm not terribly optimistic given global

Doubling down on the strategy that lost you two MPs is a famously wise and well considered decision.

It's a tricky thing, I'm not sure how to solve it exactly. I think the continued practice of promoting fandom communities as inclusive is a big part though. That's where I've seen the best of people shine. The power of friendship is always on the table as a solution though, or mecha, possibly both:

The reality is that fandom spaces are just little microcosms. I have been subject to and borne witness to the worst kinds of humanity in fandom spaces, and have seen and been a beneficiary of the best kinds of humanity in those spaces. Those microcosms have gotten larger and larger, to the point

I think people within Fandom spaces have viewed themselves largely as outsiders without any ability to impact the mainstream world. I mean even the term sort of presumes a separate little world where fans exist in their own kingdom. And increasingly this has been demonstrated to be false.
