Where... are you seeing "kill all men" discourse in Canada?

I don't know that I agree that social definitions always have to match legal definitions.
Legal systems tend to be conservative and it's social progressive groups that push the public consciousness enough to eventually shift the legal system.
Until 1983, marital rape wasn't legally considered rape in Canada. The social understanding that you could rape a spouse needed to exist before the laws could follow.
I agree that it's nuanced and people need to be educated on the difference between legal definitions and social definitions, but I don't think what you're proposing is the only way.
Lol, I'm a dummy. Thanks for the info. I live in a province that has never had an NDP premier, so my brain didn't think to check.
If this election has shown us one thing, it's that the Conservative party is willing to ignore evidence to double-down on a bad idea.
I like and respect him as a politician, but is he NDP-leaning? He strikes me as more centre.
An amazing number of people think "I'm mad at Liberals" = "The cons must be better"
Yeah, not a valid excuse in my mind. It shows a disturbing lack of responsibility/accountability.
I mean, I'm probably voting Liberal (the NDP have had a strong showing in my riding in the past, so I'm not entirely decided), but I kind of believe this.
Carney is obviously the least comfortable out of the main candidates in speaking in French. I don't believe the cost is a real factor. Maybe "afraid" isn't the right word, but it does seem to be strategic in a way that avoids potential negative exposure for him. I have mixed feelings about it.
Carney declined to do a common/popular debate in Quebec.
Yep, this is where I am too.
I'm annoyed at having to vote Liberal, to be honest, but I hope this election makes it clear that cozying up to American populists is a losing strategy in Canada.
lol Were you just looking for a comment so you could flex about your property deals?
Personally, I'm a millennial and I'm okay -- we recently sold our starter home and we got way more than we were expecting for it. But it didn't make me feel "smart" it made me feel gross that the market seems so rigged.
I'm not talking about individuals, I'm talking about trends. The priority for housing should first and foremost be to house people.
Yeah, that's fair
