a more technically correct but probably less rhetorically good answer for Hodgson would have been to point out that the legislation says the governor in council may consider it, not that they shall consider it.

Jonny, something I'm unclear on after reading this and other coverage—did anyone other than Ferzli allege that Farnsworth was a neo-Nazi? or was this just Ferzli's perception?

the ANDP didn't turn towards petronationalism under Nenshi; they already had adopted that position during the Notely government and have stuck to it since. not really Nenshi's fault, though perhaps you can attribute his election as leader to it

it's obscene that Lewis would mar such a sacred occasion as Yom Kippur by claiming that it's about atonement. and no, I am not going to look up what the words yom and kippur mean

if eby loses this thing he and his strategists should be permanently laughed out of politics. we may be looking at a staggeringly embarrassing own-goal here, a serious self-hoisting

something i have observed among streamers is that project zomboid weapon choice is mostly gendered. women run the paring knife, men the baseball bat, everyone else firearms. however, there is an intersectional factor, which is that if you're good at video games you go short blunt

It's good for people to abandon movements when they realize what they've been (some amount of willfully) ignoring or dismissing this whole time is in fact real. No more media career, though. No more notoriety. Like a pilot that forgets to put down the landing gear. Sorry bud, you don't have it.

if immigration laws are liberalized, immigrant labourers will be more difficult to exploit. harsh immigration policy basically gives every employer monopsony power, since it's difficult for workers with restricted status to change jobs—keeping labour artificially cheap even if the supply is tight

I think it's ill-advised and anti-democratic to introduce an omnibus bill, cite a crisis, and rush major changes to labour and environmental law. It's going to provoke aggressive resistance and risks, ironically, slowing down the projects the government is so keen on. It's going to be a huge mess.
