Reminds me of the NIMBYs who opposed the Coal Harbour elementary school on the basis that, being near the seawall, children would "fall into the sea".

Millions of people have already developed weird parasocial relationships with their chatbots. Anyway it doesn't matter, you can always slap a real person's face on an AI generated product.

Citation needed on "the Canadian taxpayer came ahead on TMX". I followed the source from yours & Tombe's articles and the actual CER 2040 GDPΔ estimate between Reference (pipeline) and Constrained (no pipeline) scenarios was just $17B in 2023 dollars, not $240B. That's a pretty shocking difference!

Counterpoint: the zoning bills have been a failure because they left wiggle room for cities to poison pill them and then did nothing in retaliation when cities predictably poison pilled them. And even before the 2024 election when they lost all ambition, bills 43 & 46 were laughable, not phenomenal.

It can't be hypervigilance against being tricked or taken advantage of, as these same people will line up to elect obvious conmen.

The whole area southeast of the station all the way to Boundary is really nice. Mix of low, mid, and high rises, tons of parks and tree coverage. Should be a model for residential areas across Vancouver.

You know who *else* only beat the left wing vote by 1.5% and failed to secure a decisive mandate from the public? Huh, turns out that's totally fucking irrelevant!

1932 German election results showing the Nazis winning a plurality but not majority of votes or seats in the Reichstag. The combined left wing vote was only 1.4% behind the Nazis.

For posterity since he blocked me, the quoted post was @ed3d.net's screenshot of the 2024 election results, adding "WHAT MANDATE" in response to a post about the lack of the US's trustworthiness going forward. Instead of engaging on the substance, he "um ackshually"-ed the use of the word "mandate".

🪿🪿 WHAT MANDATE 🪿🪿 "Hitler's really unpopular! His lack of mandate means he couldn't do anything extreme! There's nothing deeply wrong with the national institutions that led to his rise! It won't take decades to rebuild Europe's trust! The German public bear no responsibility for any of this!"

July 1932 German federal election results showing the Nazis winning a plurality but not majority of seats or votes. The Nazis' vote margin above the left wing parties is almost identical to Trump's margin over Harris.

Oh I find everything about telecom's plan pricing and structure to be manipulative as hell. Whereas I'm pretty sure we banned hidden fees at airlines a while back? I haven't paid more for a flight than what was advertised in a long time.

I can go further: the rehab program behind this could have *coerced* this money away from their members, whose membership may be a mandatory condition of their incarceration. *And then* the state claws it back.
