To add to this, I don't think the Carney polls are being factored into the 338 model, because they're "what if" polls, and don't reflect voter intentions today. If Carney wins we will probably see even more of a drop in the following weeks.

This from the guy who wears oversized cowboy hats and undersized t-shirts to cosplay as "rural".

There is lots more detail in the full news release link at the bottom of the page. It's going a bit over my head right now though.

Ah yes, a sort of cleansing operation.

Of people of a particular ethnicity.

I wonder if there's a term for that...

Not only that, climate change is making it more French. We truly live in the worst timeline

I hadn't heard about using the headers to check for spoofed emails before. Here's more information on how to do it for anyone else who's curious.

The next paragraph after the screenshot is also important:

At the first sitting of the House after an election, the members of each recognized party vote on whether any or all of the sets should apply to their caucuses. The provisions only applying to the caucuses that approve them was another compromise to ensure passage of the Act. The approval of the provisions by the caucuses is binding until Parliament dissolves, after which another vote is held.

The Liberals did not vote to approve the provisions, so this can't be used to remove Trudeau.

If I stabbed someone, the headline would not be "person stabbed by knife". Even if it was an accident caused by me waving it around recklessly in the kitchen or something, that would be a ridiculous headline.

A car lane is dedicated to the through traffic of cars. Similarly a bike lane is dedicated to the through traffic of bikes. If it is truly such a nothing burger to wait one minute, surely you would have no problem stopping on the car lane either and telling drivers to wait. And yet I have never seen a delivery driver attempt this - probably because it is considered socially acceptable for drivers to honk at shout at anyone blocking their way. Not so for cyclists, even though they are the more vulnerable road users.

Perhaps you could also stop at a bus stop and tell the bus driver to wait a minute. Or you could stop in a stranger's driveway while they are attempting to leave. Or hey, stop on a train track. Let me know how that goes for you. It's only a minute, right?

If your city is only designed for drivers, it's no surprise that people will want to drive places. When you remove parking minimums, you also need to prioritize transit and micromobility accessibility, so people are actually incentivized to switch modes. Cities can and are making this shift successfully: here's one example.
