He did say that he's going under his dime. *can't fact check.
If he doesn't go and he's PM, they will give him grief. So why not go.

This is probably the most interesting election.
1) first time liberal might win whcih is really interesting if they do as it'll be a long time in power
2) PP is a tool but I'm just happy he led - cause previous guy aaron Otool was really boring and a tool. Then again, harper wasn't that much better.
3) I never would have thought Liberal could come back and maybe win.
b) wife and I both discussed how politics is fun. Freeland never wanted to run but you have to have someone to run against Carney JUST to showcase there is somewhat a choice.
c) Freeland and Carney are actually SUPER good friends, as Carney is god father to Freeland's kids.

It's really close call and to see PP go up from SUPER 1000% support without even needing to campaign to win to now back down to 38%.

Lastly, never woudl have thought NDP would be down to so little seats that J singh might lose party status is a first for me.

let's see how this works out! Go vote

If o'toole was still party leader this would be better for the cons. The more moderates would find it an easier pill to swallow.
I want a boring politician. These spicy political leaders are a fucking problem. Inflammatory, obnoxious people are not good leaders in any capacity. Being loud isn't the same as being charismatic.

He expects people in the 416 and ON to start our day off with some insightful posts.

This is expecting too much of us. :badpokerface:

Spain-Portugal power outages live updates: Countries hit with massive blackouts affecting travel and commuting

Airports, shops and officers have been affected across Spain, Portugal and parts of France.

https://www.nbcnews.com/world/spain/...-ha-rcna203274

What to know:
A huge power outage is affecting large parts of Spain and Portugal today, including both countries' capitals, Madrid and Lisbon, according to various reports and official accounts.
Airports have been disabled, and shops and offices are in the dark. It is unclear how many people have been affected. Parts of France were also briefly hit.
The Spanish government is holding an emergency meeting in Madrid. Getting Spain's power network back online could take up to 10 hours, the power grid operator has warned.
The Spanish power company Red Electrica said in a post on X that it was gradually recovering power in the north of the Iberian Peninsula.

We have some family friends in Portugal and we haven't been able to get in touch with them. They've been unable to respond, so likely impacted by this.

Make Politics Boring Again.

Make sure you take your 3 hours off and only work from 10 am or get off at 4 pm. Or your boss can get fined and go to jail.

Oh damn, I just realized this is the Canadian politics thread.

Just so i'm clear, PM can win but still with less seats correct?

343 seats in the House of Commons 172 seats needed for a majority, can a PM win with less seats?

Of course, the PM is the leader of the party with the most seats in the house.
Possible that it could be minority government if they call the race so close.

Eg.
Cons 159
Libs 154
Bloc 20
NDP 9
Green 1

All hail PP as PM.

CBC projects a Lib Majority, let's see how close they are:
Lib - 189
Cons - 125
Bloc 23
NDP 5
Green - 1

Not bad, Bloc. :notbad:

Voted today. Took less than 5 min. The voting location was in a mall in an empty sears location. Tons of parking. The best voting location I have been to.

Cons getting real despite. Trying to attract the youth vote. Showed it to a tobacco rep and did a double take. thought it was fake but it's real. a Couple of things. ZYN has never been on sail in Canada. The only legal nic pouch is zonoic. Also the BC goverment banned the sale of Zonic in stores. You can only get them in a pharmacy.

give me back 0 and 3 nic vape juice so that I can actually ween off.

Holy shit that's like let's legalize crack and let your kids drink at 14

Mine was in an indoor sports field. It was pretty handy since they were only using half of it so people with kids could just let their kids run around on the other half lol.

in and out in 5 at a new community center

the name booklet was way thinner compared to in the past, found my name in 30 seconds

alot of staff too so I guess they subdivided the neighborhood into smaller sections to allow for faster votes

I'd change my vote to cons if it was Velo 20mg

Cons have 1 seat
