Eh....This is a little rose coloured glasses. Anyone else remember the pre-adblock era of umpteen pop-up ads?

Walking the line with them is helpful. A strike with community support will pretty nearly always be more successful than one without.

Obviously not fans, but the Liberals seem to think the "right" to strike is contingent on the approval of the sitting government, as well. Maybe time to consider the NDP.

Ring wing "populism" isn't really populist, it's masking politics beneficial to the wealthy elite in a way that is palatable to enough people just long enough to gain power and put into effect laws that are highly unfavourable to your average person. The antidote to that is making changes that are actually favourable to your average person. Placing those two different concepts under the singular label "populism" is, frankly, disingenuous.

You need to stop thinking laws are inviolable writ handed down from God. We're all playing a game of shared make believe where the rules are only strong as the collective will to enforce them. That will doesn't appear to be sufficient so he can likely do what he wants.

Whenever a movie starts with a Part One in it's title, I get a hesitation. And Dune's only covering one half of the FIRST book. This was going to be slow, this was going to have a lot of filler, this was going to have information and scenes that are not at any point integral to the main story and it won't be very pretty because they would save most of the budget for the second film.

The thing about that is that there was a very good chance Dune part 2 never got made if the first didn't do well enough, so there was a lot of motivation to make it as good as it could be. Dune was kind of a redemption attempt after Villeneuve's Blade Runner 2049 (unfairly, imo) flopped.

Surely supply side economics will work this time. The million attempts before were just practice.

The gap in Kelowna Centre is also now just 35 votes down from ~90 this morning.

Guess they took her calling for their invasion personally. Good work, Australia. I wish Canada had done the same when Tucker Carlson came here.

B.C. Conservative Leader John Rustad said in an emailed statement Friday he was “appalled and deeply saddened” by Sapozhnikov’s comments. He said her “remarks do not reflect the values of our party or the vision we have for a united British Columbia, and we are taking this matter seriously.”

But Rustad made no indication he was considering her removal from the party.

I don't think you're taking it that seriously, Rustad. If you won't remove her from the party then it's hard to see how her views don't mesh just fine with your values.

Marina Sapozhnikov, who finished only 23 votes behind the NDP’s Dana Lajeunesse in Juan de Fuca-Malahat, said that before Europeans came to North America, First Nations Peoples “didn’t have any sophisticated laws. They were savages. They fought each other all the time.”

Right, that notably peace loving continent, Europe. You are Ukrainian, Marina. Your birthplace is literally under invasion from another European state, today.

I don’t know how they aren’t like walk ins with an emergency release.

I can't imagine it would pass OH&S muster to not have an internal release on a walk in oven. I suspect poorly maintained equipment where the release was broken. Something similar happened to an Arby's manager last year.

He's such an attention-hungry dork it makes him very easy to hate on.
