Carney already axed Labour minister position… I think the message is clear. Unions should prop some other party that actually cares for unions. NDP is one of them.

Same Liberals that every single time, given the opportunity to support unions, moved against them? BAD move.

Danielle very much is behind it.

lookup CUSMA visa… Equivalent of TN for Canadians. If your profession falls into covered category all you need a job offer at the border. You could come over on tourist visa, scout for work, get offer, go back to the border, stamp visa in and enjoy Canada

he did say that Canada would be annexed with no representation… so no worries about left shift… also think that whatever party would be in power that surrenders to POTUS47 would immediately become local unelectable pariah, considering polls currently it’d be Libs. So the pressure is rather to push for Cons… what they can’t comprehend is that Canada is not US and it creates some serious pusback

Liberals were always representing business and investment communities in much the same way Cons do, the only difference is their posturing on social issues. We only have toothless NDP to represent people… this electoral system sucks and sucks big time. we need more parties, more voices and we cannot have party representing 30% of population pretend like “it’s got mandate” and it’s “majority”. Voting should be mandatory and number of seats should represent percentage of population represented. Spoiled ballots should be represented with empty seats and “majority” rules should be the absolute majority. If no absolute majority available for decision it’s to be put to plebiscite. That may get us some semblance of Democracy in it’s true sense.

great. then we shall ban any conservative think-tanks funded from abroad or by multinationals…

we’ve got pineWatch so why not pebble? PineWatch is OK but it’s.not pebble. It was an amazing low tech that was actually extremely useful

it was proximity sensor and audio. would’ve been perfect for PiZero build of a tiny motion-activated player.

she’s following into Harris’ footsteps. Courting conservative voters… bad move

My opinion is that of the two Postres is more “adult”. So if you want to"just wing it" MariaDB would work, but if you’re serious Postgres is a better choice. However Postgres also requires better understanding of you setup etc. So it’s a ROI game - what’s more important to your project, how complex your DB is, what are the requirements for availability, transaction security etc. There is no “better” or “worse” there’s “feasible” and “prohibitive” 😉

right wing learned to consolidate (US, Alberts, and now… BC with Libs just plain converting to Con) Left does not and under present electoral system Left will be in disadvantage in perpetuity. (I know Libs are not left, but they are further Left than Cons)

I didn’t say that either 😉 However there’s plenty of evidence suggesting PP is on a winning trajectory and NDP having abysmal chances of winning either majority or form minority government

“are you a chicken Marty? Are you?” jeez… so mid-to-highschool 🤦

Inrespect Charlie, but presently NDP is doing poorly countering PP ascendance

of course BRICS members would be welcoming POTUS47… he’ll ruin whatever is left of US for them

we can only hope fb implodes sooner rather than later. I personally know multiple people working there who are very decent human beings who need to pay bills. I just hope their current trajectory will force employee action and paralyze fb long enough to hurt. Unlike other places it’s not so simple to just hire a load of IT professionals and have any meaningful results short term, esp. if they have not been ramped up to speed by their colleagues. So it’s not impossible, bowever tolerance threshold is kind of high for any action to take place. Wads of cash, unpaid mortgages and all. Employees of big tech are truly living in gold cages…

that was a weasely answer. Now imagine PP at the helm dealing with full-on US onslaught… will he really stand up for Canada or just for pockets of few Canadians? Any sane politician would distance themselves from Musk, the un-elected human equivalent of genital cancer. While POTUS47 is covered in Teflon and will serve his full term Musk could fall out of grace at any moment making his endorsement rather undesirable for anybody.

Canada has “centrist” and right wing media outlets. It has virtually none (maybe tyee…) truly left-leaning ones.

Also, kind of content here may reflect folk views in general. Social media is mostly about echo chambers anyway…

I wonder whether alternative solutions were discussed: like Google retaining integration but breaking off Maps division into it’s own entity that has to use same API’s as everyone else and use the same integration points. Would’ve been more user-friendly thing to do.
