If the funds couldn’t be raised then clearly there is little public demand for this monument. Why is the government backstopping funds for it?

You are right that the way you laid it out in your previous comment is the way it is in practice. Almost all votes are whipped. Local representation (federally) is mostly in name only.

The way whipped votes are standard in Canada means that in practice you are voting for a party.

Pizza isn’t “bad” for you. Eating it excessively might be bad for certain health related goals, losing weight for example. But having a couple slices of pizza isn’t unhealthy the way smoking a cigarette or consuming alcohol is unhealthy. You can absolutely design a balanced meal plan that includes eating pizza occasionally.

Wow, how did this condescending dumbass manage to lose an election to Donald fucking Trump? I guess we will never know. It was her turn!

You have to get a peach that was allowed to ripen on the tree and eat it as fresh as possible to get that experience consistently. I never knew how good a peach could be until I visited the Okanagan for the first time.

I feel like this is burying the lede. Grok would kill 4.1 billion people before killing Elon Musk?

Mark Carney promised that the federal government’s forthcoming Climate Competitiveness Strategy—his government’s first emission reduction plan—will focus on “results over objectives”

Then makes carbon capture a central part of the strategy. Give me a break.

Anyone pushing carbon capture is a shill pushing bullshit.

Kipping chin up, in this case.

Ate the beavertail if you want to keep it pg-13.

Have you considered being less nosy? Minding your business?

I’m no lover of religion but I love this culture policing even less.

Sorry, can you expand on the ways prayer is like sex? Are people praying with their dicks out in your vicinity?

I hate the idea of this pipeline but I won’t turn down an opportunity to enjoy internal troubles for that despicable party.

Also, this tweet from the article:

“The only way Alberta’s getting the pipeline built is if we leave Canada.”

Where you building it to, pal? You can build whatever pipelines you want in Alberta, and I doubt anyone would stop you building one to the US if you can find financing for it or finance it provincially yourselves. You sure as fuck aren’t more likely to get a pipeline across BC as an independent state or as part of the US.

We could also not.

Not to mention that by the numbers we are still in that position. It’s just the Liberals chose a party leader who appears to have a specific hostility towards the NDP and would rather court the CPC for votes.

Except the previous two elections had the NDP holding the balance of power?

Funny. During the election when I pointed out Carney was a conservative I was told to read his marketing material, sorry I mean book, Values which practically painted him as a social democrat.

Norway produces oil to make money for themselves while Alberta produces oil to make money for Texas based resource extraction corporations.

Right, whereas kowtowing to American car companies is turning out to be great for Canada.
