I can still recite the Big Red jingle by heart. But probably Mentos, because they were so bloody nonsensical - and the fact that the Foo Fighters riffed on it for their ‘Big Me’ music video.

Jesus Christ, Episode 7 of ‘Carrie’ is like a frakking Battlestar Galactica reunion episode. So many familiar faces.

Or they put it up a plebiscite which gets defeated because the pro-electoral reform argument is too convoluted to sell people on it, or the conservative parties rally against it. Anyway… I think I just wanted to say that you Americans wanting to yeet the electoral college? I see you.

Imagine a world where the republicans could literally ‘never’ form government. That would be Canada in a two party system. The solution, obviously, would be electoral reform, but every time the party arguing for it won… they kinda conveniently drop it shortly after taking power.

We want to be a pluralistic democracy like Europe - multiple parties representing differing viewpoints - but we exist in an electoral system that would outwardly reward an American-style two party system. As an example for my American friends:

The Cons are about 44-45% - which means they will, in all likelihood, win > 50 seats in our 93 seat house and get a majority mandate to govern. Of course this works both ways - the last election the NDP hit 45% and won a majority. What’s good for the goose, etc etc…
100
CJ Harding 🇨🇦 @donrocko.bsky.social · 10/10/2026
As an example, most polls have the NDP support in BC at about 40%, the greens at 10-12%. Meaning that even in an election that nobody wanted, more than half of the polled electorate support left wing parties. Generally speaking, for ‘normal’ elections the number is closer to 55% combined.
110
CJ Harding 🇨🇦 @donrocko.bsky.social · 10/10/2026
So while the left wing vote can be spread across a few different parties (Using BC as an example - in addition to the NDP, the Green Party routinely hits double digit support despite almost never getting any representation in legislature), the right wing vote is focused on one main party.

Canada is a generally progressive country on the whole. We’re generally well-educated, and diverse (again - generally. We have our share of chuds as well). The conservative parties see this and tend to combine - several smaller parties making one weird right-wing Voltron’s.

CJ Harding 🇨🇦 @donrocko.bsky.social · 10/10/2026
Here in BC, we are facing the same problem - after a horribly ill-informed election call, the incumbent centre-left NDP party are set to lose to the Conservative Party of BC, despite the latter not having more than 45% popular support. The problem is simple but it’s also uniquely Canadian -

This leads to situations where a plural minority party can end up with a majority government and mandate (this happened with Ontario’s provincial election in 2025 where Doug Ford’s party won a landslide with 43% of the vote).

CJ Harding 🇨🇦 @donrocko.bsky.social · 10/10/2026
I’m Canadian - our parliamentary system is based on ‘several’ political parties across the spectrum. But it also has an archaic and imperfect electoral methodology whereby the winner of the most votes in a specific riding gets the whole pie, regardless of their vote percentage.

I’ll admit, I turned it off at the end of the first period. I checked in about 90 minutes later and proceeded to laugh my ass off.

Any time a right-winger starts whinging about the deficit or ‘how can we pay for that?’ look at their voting history. The issue isn’t using money - it’s using money ‘the wrong way’. They’ll gladly vote for a foreign war or a tax break to the 1%, but the minute money goes to education or health care?

CJ Harding 🇨🇦 @donrocko.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
I’ve learned one thing in my almost 50 years on this planet - both sides of the political aisle recognize that money doesn’t exist. ‘The deficit’ is a talking point. But right-leaning politicians use it to help themselves and the rich people who vote for them. Left-leaning politicians help others.

God knows Microsoft and XBox have done some stupid shit of late, but full credit where it’s due - its ‘digital disc licensing’ works exactly as intended. Pop the disc in, it claims a license for the game - now it’s treated like a digital version. Play without the disc. Seamless and simple.

The trailer for season two of Hulu’s standout ‘The Lowdown’ debuts Tommy Lee Jones as Lee’s (Ethan Hawke’s) dad in a great piece of casting. I’m excited for this show - what is up with this crazy “drop the second season one year after the first season started” madness? I could get used to this.

Control Resonant is fantastic. It is everything I needed in a sequel to control - tight gameplay, smart dialogue, that classic Remedy wit and a healthy dose of weird on top. You truly ‘feel’ like an overpowered superhero, which is a rare thing, and the narrative drives you forward. Outstanding.

I don’t know what can be said about PAC - the man was an absolute wizard in the ring. A high flyer, hard hitter, with an utterly insane work rate who clearly loved his craft. There is a hole in the heart of AEW now. An amazing talent and heartbreaking loss. Rest in peace.

They want to bankrupt it so they can point at it and say, “See?” Cause how do you bankrupt insurance? You find the healthy people who don’t need it (cause their premiums pay for the people who actually DO need the coverage) and boot them off.

Downtown to see the Foo Fighters and I got props from one of The Youths on my ‘echoes, silence, patience & grace’ tour shirt. “Thanks! It’s from their 2008 tour!” “Oh awesome. In 2008 I was seven.” And that, friends, is when I disintegrated into a puddle, never to be seen or heard from again.

One of their best performances of the season. They played with pace, they were clinical with their finishing (Muller’s howitzer - holy Mia) and they did not leave any egregious openings at the back. Great win.
