  • I mean look at ontario’s premier who won a 3rd time in an “emergency election” that had the 2nd lowest voter turn out. It defintely wasn’t a power grab by ford cause he knew change was coming in the feds and he could not longer blame Trudeau for problems he fails to fix.

    I hope ontario somehow forces another election after Carney has some time to make an impact and the Ontario liberals or ndp can put a new face forward for this province.


  • Thinking ford is suddenly a liberal without addressing his ridiculous highway plans, ridiculous tunnel plans, his loyalty to oil coupled with resistance to green energy, gutting of the endangered species act, and greenbelt scandal is ridiculous. Ford is half the problem most people in Ontario hate Trudeau because his polciies failed to help Ontarians, but his charisma managed to blame the feds.

    He also promised buck a beer and what we got instead was an increase in beer prices and now you can buy it at every gas station, which i predict in the long term will increase the amount of drinking and driving as well as increase access to alcohol for minors.







  • We should have social systems to help people over come those fears and protect them from threats, both physical and financial. No one should be forced to be with someone they fear because of finances, childcare, safety, or loneliness.

    Not all shitty partners induce fear. I’ve known some girls who are just head over heels due to how attractive, wealthy, or mostly sweet a guy is. The good times outshine the bad times and they get into the “i can fix him” mentality. My brother is like that where he has gotten away with cheating with nearly every partner he has had. It usually takes the girl months to finally leave him and say its been enough. Hes the chad gym type and genuinely doesn’t have to try to pull women. Any time they threaten to leave he gets all sweet, shows up with gifts and acts romantic and sexy just to get caught cheating again next week.

    We need to be hard on ourselves sometimes and push manipulative people out of our lives. I think an erosion of IRL friendships has influenced this trend as well. I used to know girls who would band together to help a girl get rid of a shitty guy they were infatuated with but that is much harder to do online than in person.









  • A couple of studies have shown this doesn’t reduce car trips nearly as much as some would think and in some areas actually increases car trips due to less clumping of errands, less adherence to rush hour times, and an increase in delivery services like ubereats and amazon.

    The only solution to traffic is alternatives to traffics like transit, and nearly every form of transit is more energy effdcient than private EVs. EVs are still good, but electrified transit should be a bigger focus.
