Ken Paxton and Greg Abbott have plenty to say when they're attacking Texans' rights, but suddenly have nothing to say when it's time to debate their opponents. Texans deserve answers, accountability, and leaders who aren't afraid to face the people they're asking to represent.

We de facto have only two parties at the Federal level when the others can barely win seats. Alternatives to first-past-the-post have continually failed to pass. The Burnaby Municipal election at least seems to do it better.

In PvPvE games, devs don't set the difficulty curve—players do. Attributing retention drop-off to being "overly difficult" misdiagnoses how extraction loops actually work. My analysis of Kevin Yanes's statement on Marathon: gq-game-mods.blogspot.com/2026/10/mara... #GameDev #Gamedesign

The Green Party opposed Bill C-5 from the start. Now the Liberals want to remove one of the few limits placed on it. Bill C-5 was meant to sunset after five years, stopping its “national interest” powers from being handed to future governments. Bill C-39 erases that safeguard.

Green Party graphic on a cream background with orange and dark green text. It reads: “The Green Party opposed Bill C-5 from the start.” The graphic says Bill C-5 gave Cabinet extraordinary powers to fast-track projects it calls in the “national interest,” concentrating too much power in government, but that even Bill C-5 came with an expiry date. At the bottom is a green halftone portrait of Mark Carney in front of overlapping clock faces.

Green Party graphic on a cream and orange background. Large orange text reads: “Bill C-39 removes that deadline.” It says that if the bill passes, every future government will inherit these powers, including governments with radically different priorities. Highlighted text reads: “Bill C-5 gave government too much power. Extraordinary powers should never come without an expiry date.” A large distressed “EXPIRED DATE” stamp appears across the orange lower half.
