“This bill explicitly gives government the power to end legal strikes when a minister decides that a strike is or could become contrary to the national interest — and the national interest is defined solely by the opinion of the minister,” warns top labour leader Bea Bruske. Holy shit. This is bad.

Again: "Tilly Norwood" is not a person; it is a shoddy, and also pretty gross puppet. Stop referring to it as "she," and start asking whether there might be something a bit off about wanting to promote a sexualized but also childlike "actor" that can never tell its creators or users "no."

People are arguing between road design and enforcement. In the Netherlands, not only do they have both, but they have a third tool: presumed liability. Drivers who hit a pedestrian or cyclist are presumed to be at fault until proven otherwise. This would be a powerful tool in our litigious society.

This is why I say that caving on the sports issue doesn't make it go away. The IOC, World Athletics, 27 states, and every major sporting body have banned trans athletes. The Supreme Court agreed with them. They got what they wanted and they still can't shut up about it and keep making it an issue.

Chris Alexander was one of the architects of the Conservative plan for a Barbaric Cultural Practices snitch line, so running for mayor of Canada’s most diverse city is certainly a choice. Fun Fact: Stephen Lecce was a Harper spokesperson at the time. Here he is weaseling out of any accountability.
You were in that role during the unveiling of the so-called barbaric cultural practices tipline. What on earth was the thinking there?

My focus as a conservative is uniting our movements around economic aims. When we lose focus on that, my priority is unleashing the economic potential of individuals and small businesses.

this is really well said www.liberalcurrents.com/graham-platn... @liberalcurrents.com
There is also the elementary truth that Platner is but one man among millions; we are no more condemned to him than we are to Susan Collins. Neither has a right to rule; that is what democracy means. To say that we should have standards for those who govern us, and hold them to higher ones than we may hold a private citizen, is not elitism. It is a bulwark against everything we’re now fighting against—who can deny that Trump’s dictatorial streak is downstream of his violent entitlement, personal bigotry, and utter lack of moral restraint? His solipsism is a cataclysmic personal flaw, and has proven fatal when applied to the mighty instruments of American power. His personal flaws have a body count that may already number in the millions.
