I recommend reading The Anxious Generation - it is extremely hard as a parent to control phone use (especially when they’re not banned at schools), and the internet today is much more engagement driven than the internet before phones. As a parent, I will be doing my best with my own kids to teach them about the dangers of social media, but it’ll take societal change to really address this problem.
I strongly believe that the younger cohort supporting conservatives is social media driven.
Except the NDP are unlikely to pick up many Liberal seats and will go from holding the balance of power to having no power. I don’t follow this logic.
TNG is also my favourite theme, but my favourite scene with music is the flute song Picard plays for his son’s birth in “The Inner Light” (especially the reprise at the end with the real flute from the probe).
Nice tattoo!! That episode is such a great ending to such a great series.
“Five card stud, nothing wild and… the sky’s the limit.”
With 23 of 23 samples, that’s a 78-100% 99% confidence interval (using an adjusted Wald method, which is good for small samples), so the sample size isn’t really an issue. The representativeness of the sample might be a concern, but for whatever the sample generalizes to, this is a high rate.
I think that kind of system is fine too.
While I agree that top tax brackets could use more granularity, it’s also important to note that it’s only income above that amount that gets taxed more. I’m personally okay with anything above that being taxed a lot and at the same (high) rate.
Yes we are going to waste this opportunity (independent of who we elect)! Provincial governments are in charge of funding universities and have been consistently decreasing funding for decades and simultaneously cutting off any source of revenue. Most universities in Canada are struggling financially and will have a very hard time hiring anyone in the short term. There will be some counter examples like the ones at U of T, but this will not be the norm.
