If anyone was wondering Danielle was essentially copying pasting a milder version of what Marjorie Taylor Greene said.

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/marjorie-taylor-greene-donald-trump-shooting-b2580000.html

The Georgia Republican congresswoman baselessly alleged there’s a conspiracy afoot, insisting “Democrats wanted this to happen” and have “wanted Trump gone for years and they’re prepared to do anything to make that happen.”

After attacking Democrats for repeatedly calling Trump a threat to democracy, she soon blasted the party with more extreme rhetoric, calling the country’s polarized politics a “battle.”

“We are in a battle between GOOD and EVIL,” she wrote on X on Sunday.

“The Democrats are the party of pedophiles, murdering the innocent unborn, violence, and bloody, meaningless, endless wars.

In case anyone needs a recap:

Presidential candidate calling for people to second amendment their politics into reality for almost a decade. Someone took them up on that suggestion.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith — who once told former Fox News personality Tucker Carlson she wished he would put a federal cabinet minister in his "crosshairs" — called on "progressive" politicians to temper their language Monday after former U.S. president Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt.

I don't think there's enough time for the Liberals to seperate themselves from Trudeau at this point. If that was the direction they were going they should have done it a year ago.

I think twelve years later it pretty agreeable that compensation alone is not what stopping Canadians from having decent MP's and in itself there's a lot of sitting MP's that's probably not even worth minimum wage.

Fun chart I made:

109 second video from 2012. This is going to be a rather long summary for a short video,

  • Video starts off by saying the one thing political pundits agree on is slashing the MP's pensions
  • Pierre qualified for a full pension at 31 because he got elected straight out of school
  • How he's done nothing but is a expert in everything
  • We'd avoid people like this in real life but the House of Commons is crawling with them

  • He wants better MP's
  • Taking off to Ottawa for 6 to 7 years is bad for the career and family
  • Are we going to attract better MP by making the job less desirable
  • End with "say when it comes to MPs instead of all of us piling on and lowering the bar let's aim high for a change"

I'm not talking about overall atheism rates. More so extremely overtly religious people seem to be on the rise where as the same people used to be a bit toned down.

Premier Danielle Smith in her letter acknowledges the CDCP has led to more Albertans becoming eligible for coverage under the new federal plan.

Take individuals seeking coverage under the Alberta Adult Health benefit, for example. To qualify, a couple with four children would have to see a maximum net household income of $46,932.

"I think [$46,932] is really low for a threshold," said Ameera Shivji with Vibrant Communities Calgary, a poverty reduction organization.

"That [$46,932] doesn't cover a lot of people that would be in real need for this program."

Given the CDCP's $90,000 adjusted family net income threshold, more families would be captured above the Alberta Adult Health benefit's cutoff.

I have noticed people becoming more religious in the last year or so.

Even Stephen Harper — a member of an evangelical church himself — avoided public association with evangelical Christians due to political considerations.

I don't think the Liberal are willing to sacrifice their entire future as the one of the two alternating parties in order to gain a few more seats.

338 on a federal level projects them for 67 seats and 24% ± 3% on the popular vote. That translates to 85-91 seats which is a decent gain.

However this would mean the Liberal will likely never get anything close to majority again. I would also believe they would slowly dwindle in popularity with a rise of smaller parties. That's a lot give up for 24 more seats for 4 years.

It's plausible that Trudeau could want to push through voting reform as one last move to salvage something since him losing the next election likely spells the end of his political career.

The problem is the Liberals as a whole. It pretty predictable Conservatives are going to do a horrible job and by the 2029ish election the tables will be flipped and Liberal will only need to campaign on not being a disaster of a party like the incumbents.

The ballot seemed like it was setup for failure although the turnout(42.2%) was also mediocre as usual.

Theoretically yes but it also encompasses a number of different design changes.

These are his videos talking about it:

I'm always look forward to Uytae's videos but since his last few topics seems to have driven legislative changes I really wonder what he'll tackle next.

Just to make things easier for people.

The video talks about the glut of micro units having issues selling due to how undesirable they are for people actually living in them and not aligning with a more realistic price.

The numbers on why a lot of people can't hold onto these investments:

Shrinking units, the ones discussed in the video is around ~300sqft:

Substantially less of newer units are owner occupied:

Given his political leanings, it probably shouldn't be surprising that Poilievre has chosen to oppose the Liberal tax changes. Back in 2004, the Conservative leader seems to have been in favour of eliminating capital gains taxes entirely (the Conservative party platform that year called for a "reduction").

It's a hell of a thing to imagine housing flippers won't have to pay any taxes on their profits.

Renters make up 33.4% of households in Canada — the highest percentage it’s ever been. As expected, the largest share is represented by young Millennials still working out their balance up the property ladder by their mid-30s. The kicker is that senior renters over 65 are right at their heels.

May told a news conference the full version of the classified report does not contain a "list of MPs who have shown disloyalty to Canada."

May said one former MP accused in the report of proactively sharing privileged information with a foreign operative should be fully investigated by authorities. She said that former MP is not named in the full report.

Turns out Pierre Poilievre comments about being muzzled if he saw the reports might have been him talking about his hobbies. Hopefully he doesn't show in parliament one day in a full gimp suit.
