I think the actual mechanism is that a Conservative member in a safe riding (very unlikely to lose to another party) would step down, triggering a by-election, and the party leader would run as the new Conservative candidate.
There’s a chance he would lose again
This is how the Overton window shifts right. Socialists need to be louder and more visible than ever.
Correct, but it’s not uncommon for party leaders to evict someone else from their party who did win in order to have a seat
It’s easy to miss but there are other words in the quote where he talks about his experience, get an adult to help you sound them out.
can we not speak like we have a two party system
yeah let’s shift our whole overton window right good idea
In the same way the Americans have been a threat to ideologically misaligned countries around the world for decades, through influence, interference, subterfuge, and meddling.
Americans own our media and boost or snuff our politicians, or apply pressure on us to change our policies, China may very well get to the same level of influence over time. They’ve started on that road.
What about his convoy buddies
For too long has our economic hegemony made us the wealthiest nation in the world
let’s recall that we’re not yet a two party country
Yes they’re extremely similar policies and even that isn’t as black and white, although the Conservative plan benefits rich people and companies buying multiple homes it also benefits old people downsizing and freeing up their previous homes.
Both only affect new builds which are a tiny fraction of home sales.
Here’s a good analysis https://youtu.be/x5pPxhTNmqA
and another that includes the NDP
wait until you learn about the other parties
The Liberal and Conservative housing plans aren’t so dissimilar. The NDP are the ones proposing non-market housing solutions.
Once again your objections are misdirected. The leftist arguing against market solutions is probably not in favor of wage suppression, right?
Canada needs a bigger population to compete on the world stage and to defend our vast nation.
If builders or other industries can’t keep up, they need to step up or be supplemented or subverted. Canada’s population density is effectively zero. With greater military and economic threats, trying to diminish our population isn’t the way to go.
This just goes to show that the market isn’t effective for providing people with housing and non-market solutions are needed.
Builders aren’t going to drive the cost of homes down, they are selling them at high prices and making a bigger profit doing so.
Why is it easier for you to question immigration levels than to question the private construction of housing?
If our food supplies weren’t keeping up with population so Loblaws made more money would you be bootlicking Loblaws or calling for the government to invest in food production?
Canada has more empty homes than unhoused people. Yes they’re not in the same places, but isn’t that another data point that the market sucks at providing housing where it’s needed?
Fact: most fictional media takes place on earth. They clearly mean the lore will be shared.
Canada has low population density, poor public transit, a very fossil heavy economy, and it’s taking significantly slower and less drastic steps towards becoming green compared to Europe and China.
Instead of giving ourselves a pass by looking at it from the only statistical lens that obfuscates all of those things by dramatically over-weighing our low population, instead you should be demanding more.
Do you know what a ranking of countries by total emissions looks like? A ranking of countries by population, with some small reordering at certain indices. How is that useful for anything scientific?
I’m sorry but you’re just plain wrong.
By that same reasoning we can’t criticize billionaires for contributing 100s of times as much in carbon emissions as the average person because of their lifestyles.
Per capita analysis tells us which countries have poor transit infrastructure, harmful lifestyles, legacy fossil-based economies. Total emissions analysis tells us which countries are more populated. Cool.
Newspapers aren’t allowed to print whatever they want, news networks can’t straight up lie on TV, why are we obsessed with the idea that tech platforms need to be able to wash their hands of everything on their platform.
Maybe we don’t need the web to be full of user submitted content. I remember the early Internet, it was way better than what we have today.
