The vote split is maddening, this should not be a Conservative vs Green race.

the CCC and Euclid (math equivalent) were both hugely inspirational to me. They showed me what real math and real computer science was like instead of the arithmetic and programming classes I took during regular school. I didn't do particularly well, and I don't think it's really a good predictor of university performance but I would be really sad if they could no longer exist because of some script kiddies.
Canada rank 31 in potable water. Not great but notable countries with worst ranking include:
Greese
Norway
Japan
USA
Switzerland
Italy

Personally I think the telco is more compelling. If it wasn't american i would strongly consider it.
6-8 are proportional too (Netherlands, Norway and Luxembourg - the latter of which allows noncitizens to vote!).
9 is Switzerland which has a 2 round run off system + some direct democracy.
10 is Australia, a run-off system
11 and 12 are new Zealand and Costa Rica which are proportional
13 is Kuwait which has Single Non-Transferable Vote (like fptp but with multiple winners)
14 is austria, with another 2 round system.
Most of them also have compulsory voting.
The next electoral system that isn't at least partially proportional or 2 round run off is the UK at 20. The southern facists are at 23, much higher than I expected to be honest.
Here's the full ranking, they use a 3 year rolling average.
Gallup polling data from 143 countries for the past three years, specifically monitoring performance in six particular categories: gross domestic product per capita, social support, healthy life expectancy, freedom to make your own life choices, generosity of the general population, and perceptions of internal and external corruption levels.
In order to properly compare each country’s data, the researchers created a fictional country—christened Dystopia—filled with “the world’s least-happy people.” They then set Dystopia as the rock bottom value in each of the six categories and measured the scores of the real-world countries against this value.
It means you were a bad person, most kids are, that's why we train them. You choose if you're a bad person today. I would suggest apologizing to those you wronged in ways that still affect them (prolonged bullying, stealing that significantly ruined a business, hitting that caused long term physical or emotional damage etc). An apology is more than just words, and it won't always make you feel better. This self reflection is good and healthy.
A coalition is not the same as a minority government, there has only ever been 2 canadian coalitions. It's pretty unlikely that will happen.
I think a minority supported by BQ will be good for the environment, significant tightening on immigration, probably liberal agenda otherwise. the BQ is much more closely aligned with Libs than CPC, as I think Blanchet made clear in the english debate. A LIB+NDP+Green isn't totally out of the question right now, probably also good for the environment.
