  • Canada’s National Observer asked the NDP for comment on the situation and later that day posed the question to NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh in a virtual press conference on April 22.

    Singh did not directly respond to Canada’s National Observer’s question, nor its follow-up question about the Green Party’s complaint.

    Instead he said many strategic voting websites regularly promote the Liberal Party and that “if you want to stop Conservatives, vote New Democrat. If you also want someone that’s going to … stop liberals like Mark Carney from cutting the things that you need, vote New Democrat.”

    An hour later, an NDP spokesperson contacted Canada’s National Observer but did not offer a statement. Instead, they sent information “on background” — indicating it shouldn’t be attributed to the NDP — that pointed out the federal Green Party was sanctioned by Elections Canada in 2016, and said “that website isn’t ours.”

    Gotta say I’m unhappy that I’m disappointed in the Federal NDP again, the whataboutism around the green party being sanctioned almost a decade ago is maybe tangentially relevant, but that feels they’re more trying to cast doubt on the green’s poll. Your candidate linked to the website, it doesn’t matter if it’s yours, its part of your party’s official communication. I don’t love that Singh (or any politician for that matter but I align closest historically with the NDP so I’ll be critical) seemingly didn’t address the questions during the press conference either.

    There’s something about the current NDP priorities I don’t love, while I totally acknowledge their work on pharmacare, ban on scab labour and dental (and understand why they tore up the supply & confidence agreement over back to work), I started being disappointed back when they held back 100% of campaign rebates, I’ve personally noticed less and less riding level activity from then as well. I don’t love that they’re supporting S-210, I know a bunch of people who started listening to the NDP specifically because they were pretty adamant in their support for privacy. It’s a lot of small things but yeah, they add up.





  • Yeah, I’ve never had

    Definitely up there for the most notes I’ve taken playing a game for a while, some of them aren’t immediately obvious though their usefulness

    I’m glad I started tracking the name of each angel for example.

    The back story as I said is probably the thing that kept me going, not 100% there but I needed to know if my own theories were correct.

    I kinda wish I hadn’t gone funeral parlour as my parlour upgrade


  • I did enjoy it and the underlying story kept me going, gotta say after playing it with my partner for a while, the rogue like elements started getting a little grating, especially if you’re looking for extremely specific rooms and get crap RNG (took like 12 days to get a

    I know there are

    ways to manipulate it or influence like the chess puzzle, but my drafts suuuuuucked, just weight rooms and archives constantly or dead ends as my choice. Probably not running an optimal strategy but was kinda hard to do when I had no other options. Would get screwed over constantly trying to power the lab too.

    Got tedious/frustrating at times but did overall enjoy it.


  • This isn’t even borrowed from the yanks, look back at shit the Tories said during the Harper years, it’s literally exactly the same rhetoric, there’s a clip on CBC from years ago with Pierre talking about the Omar Khadr supreme court ruling and dude was saying shit like “this is a matter for the democratically elected government, not the courts”.

    While I get the overlap, we shouldn’t downplay our own shit, we’ve been perfectly capable of having a christofacist party on our own, and exporting it globally (Gaven McInnes - Canadian, worked with the rebel, Jordan Peterson, Harper has been involved with the IDU, Preston Manning’s takeover of the Conservatives was cited as an inspiration for Nigel Farage)









  • I got the dbrand grip for it with stick grips, it’s actually really nice to hold, certainly better than my switch lite (seriously that thing gives me RSI, really needed something to grip onto.) Which also has a kickstand attachment if you want. It’s overall though very comfortable, I find it better to hold up over propping it up with something, seems to keep it at a more natural angle for me.

    I also switched to clicky buttons on mine, it’s definitely a preference but they feel better to me vs the stock ones on my partner’s.
