Weird take. Yes, the consumer carbon tax sure. But look at housing, Carney has one of the most ambitious plans in the developed world, the cons' is more of the same with minor tweaks. Admittedly, Polievre borrowed Carney's removal of duplicate reviews... But other stuff, like expanding resources East West have been pursued by both parties for years but mostly died against opposition from the provinces.

It's why Polievre is reduced to cheap stunts like provoking a constitutional battle to extra punish murderers or stupid sound bite policies like 3 strikes which have been repealed in most (if not all) places they've been tried.

It was going to be announced at his retirement party on Monday... You know the dev likes surprises.

Honestly, a lot of days make me feel satisfied. I work on the comp side of a fundraising department for a large public university. I'm good at what I do, enjoy it and have earned enough of a reputation that people generally let me tackle whatever comes my way however I want.

So, if I have a good productive day, I feel like maybe more students got scholarships because of my work that day. And I work from home so if I did well at work, found time to do my "old man refuses to stop playing sports with kids in their 20s" exercises AND had a couple good homecooked meals, well yeah, I feel pretty accomplished and satisfied.

But yeah, doing something I like for a cause which I ferverently support, I have more good days than bad. Working from home is a heck of a cherry on top though.

I'm streaming games.

Though, arguably depending on the network, that may actually just be hurting Canadians.

NHL revenue is based on merch (okay, easy to boycott) gate sales (again, easy enough) and tv licensing which has already been paid this season for the next however many years.

Watching a game on a Canadian owned network like TSN mostly just helps Canadians, possibly some minor adjustment in the next licensing deal but pretty goshdarned marginal as most of the movement on those is driven by anticipation of growth in foreign markets.

I've wondered and never thought to ask. Thanks, the resulting conversation has been awesome.

Holy hell, had no idea about Reuters. Wild!

Hmmmm, do we want to be closer with crazytown or basically reasonable people? I'm torn!

This has been tried and repealed in a lot of other places. If memory serves, it also led to a significant increase in homicides. (If there's no difference between robbery and murder, there is no incentive to leave witnesses.)

And Trailer Park Boys notwithstanding, it's not like the usual addict criminal is really thinking "well, I'll only get a couple years, no biggie" before committing a crime.

Oh absolutely. I mean, witness the defunding of radio free Europe etc. Also, even if they hate Hollywood, it's still the American economy.

I feel a shot at "woke hollywood propaganda" isn't going to bother trumpworld all that much.

Utilitarianism makes sense from first principles, Kant is just his opinions.

It's act vs rule ethics, what is ethical in a particular situation may not be broadly applicable to society.

Edit: And from the religious parents perspective, letting your beloved child suffer an eternity of torment is probably not super moral. I may disagree but that's their perspective and there's no arbiter make the call.
