Yes, quite right - but until such time as this takes place, Polivere shouldn’t be paid with taxpayer funds. Maybe there’s a provision in some rule that allows party funds to be used? {/Speculation}

That’s a great question and the answer is: he shouldn’t be drawing on tax funds. He cannot hold the position of leader of the opposition unless he has a seat, and I can’t find any provision for unelected party members in here.

Fair. Worf did a lot of shitty things, I think the PIC writers were trying to have his character attone a bit, but then he also murders an unarmed ferengi…so 🤔

Are you referring to the story he told about accidentally killing a kid in a soccer match when they both tried to headbutt the ball?

He was kidnapped by humans and not raised properly. No big surprise he has attachment issues.

I’ve decided Ship of the Line is canon and that Montgomery Scott was on the engineering team for construction of Ent-E

See, this is homage/parody.

Is your premise that people cannot see the errors of their ways and therefore cannot change? Or are you presenting facts in an attempt to imply that all this time there’s been a shadow Nazi government? Or…? I don’t know if you’re aware of this, but during the war years, everyone had to be a member of the Nazi party. All youth groups that weren’t official Nazi organizations were banned.

In the years between WWII and German reunification, there was an active effort to stamp out Nazi ideals in the West. Children learned in graphic detail what atrocities were committed, and many of them took those learnings to heart. To this day, spending on military in Germany, surveillance by the state, are fraught topics. German politics couldn’t be further from a 1 or 2 party system.

What was informs but doesn’t dictate what is. I have spent a lot of time in Germany, and I’m certain that in spite of the rise of AfD, Germany is the European country furthest from Nazi ideals.

I was responding to your original premise, that “Germans never stopped being Nazis” - and you know it. Don’t try to feign outrage at being called out for condemning an entire country’s people (“Germans”) for the actions of a few (The Berlin Senate Administration.)

Do better, and perhaps people will earnestly engage with you for the better instead of just getting upset with you.

Careful, your ignorance is leaking.

Seriously asking: do we think right field voters are answering CBC polls?

Yesterday my Canadian, trump supporting boss, closed out our office’s management meeting saying “trump endorsed Carney. Do you think it’s reverse psychology?” And the response from one of her middle managers was “Carney doesn’t give a shit about Canadians. He just is interested in his wallet.”

The propaganda machines are hitting hard already, and I promise you those two would never visit the CBC website let alone answer a CBC survey.

Sorry, it’s not sovereign CA territory. The use of the land was granted in perpetuity to CA, the land remains French.

I don’t know what we you’re referring to, but in the part of central Ontario where my nephew attends school, the French immersion schools are most definitely teaching Quebecois French.

I tried speaking real French with my nephew and he reacted as if I was a space alien.

Sure looks like it.

The Tribunal was created in 2014 to bring a new approach to international environmental law, modelled on approaches to war crimes and human rights. Although the tribunal’s rulings are non-binding, they have a track record of impacting outcomes on the ground.

The advances in cancer research and treatment in the last 40 years is crazy too.

In grade six (80s) I lost one of my cohorts to leukemia. It was a long road for her to her passing, with the stereotypical no hair and sick every day looking worse and worse.

My neighbor’s grade 6 kid has a friend with leukemia and now they’re “just” sick “every once in a while” because they had chemo the previous day and they’re supposed to avoid sports, but is expected to be fine before they go to high school. Wild.

The problem is that for us there is a big difference between municipally run, province-run, and federally run parks. We also have private parks, privately owned but publically accessible parks, and of course, amusement parks.

Yep, but it requires a 500W electric-hydraulic pump to run the muscles. Human brain is ~20W Human heart is ~1.5W. Human body total is ~100W at rest, ~350W doing physical work.

This android has some serious efficiency issues to overcome, or it’ll need to be constantly recharged.

Isn’t a lot of the Geneva Convention a reaction to Canada’s WW1 conduct?

Is it like this for everyone?
