He seemed like a genuinely OK guy, although he fell short on first nations and environmental issues.
I wonder if there’s a correlation between leftist politics and being a Trekkie. TNG is probably the thing that had the single biggest impact on my political views as a kid (and to this day).
Why do you care if you pay it off on time? Credit cards have always had horrible interest rates.

Looking purely at vote counts, he isn’t wrong. Trump lost about 3 million votes compared to 2020, whereas the Dems lost 15 million. There’s certainly a lot of blame to lay at the feet of “both sides bad” people who didn’t vote, but either way that’s catastrophically bad turnout for the Dems.
Hilarious. The MAGA movement is like a fractal of grifts.

Absolutely. It’s like how if you’re poor and crazy, you’re crazy; but if you’re rich and crazy, you’re eccentric.
Well that’s good news — at least it’s one-and-done and won’t divert resources and money from SNW.
Whaaa… Wasn’t this going to be a show? When did that happen?
My expectations for this show could not be any lower.
I see the media’s extreme reluctance in calling white people “terrorists” continues.
Their premise is that the free market drove up the price of houses. Deregulation that is to say end of social housing programs led to this.
Yes and no - lack of supply led to this. It doesn’t really matter where the supply comes from. More social housing would certainly be good though.
Is that not neo-liberal? High construction costs come mainly from high cost of labor. The market driving up costs isn’t free market?
Do… do you think that business owners like having higher labour costs? I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone on the left complain about higher worker wages.
What protectionist policies are there?
Try building a residential property and see how many hoops you have to jump through.
When have property values been under threat of dropping.
If supply were to increase, prices will drop. This is good for everyone except those who think their house is a retirement fund.
They’ve been ever increasing due to market demand.
You forgot half of the “supply and demand” equation.
You say “lack of good investment”. Others say investors determined housing was a prime investment.
Exactly… Whereas housing shouldn’t be an investment. If its value outpaces inflation, it becomes less and less affordable to new buyers.
It sure would be nice if folks on the left stopped using the term “neoliberal” as shorthand for “something I don’t like”. Words have meanings. A neoliberal housing policy would be a bunch of 5-over-1 in mixed zoning. The housing crisis is caused by many factors:
I don’t know how price sensitive you are, but check out Asket.
Interesting that they are/were both black. Is there a genetic component?
I don’t know enough about New Brunswick politics to be certain if the cruel and needless anti-trans policies Higgs imported from the Benighted States of America are the reason he’s finished as premier of that beautiful Maritime province and even as MLA for the riding of Quispamsis.
In large part, yes. It even triggered a near-coup in his party last year. The Sask Party also barely eked out a win this week, which is hardly an endorsement of this brand of nonsense.
Then again, it’s Alberta we’re talking about. They’ve always had the most right-wing dirtbags ruining it for the rest of the country.
Worse still, Hasan isn’t Arab at all. He was born in the UK to Indian parents.
Does Ed ever miss? I suppose it must be possible, but I have yet to see it.
