Polls show liberals tracking behind conservatives by 20 points back in July. Even if this figure is exaggerated, when you include the loss of that so called "safe" seat in June, the trend is only worsening, and everybody but Trudeau can read the writing on the wall.

Dont dismiss this as "fake news" unless you want a conservative majority next election.

If you're going to die because you can't afford it, then does the risk really matter?

Republicans only like bribery for rich people, not poor people.

Believe me it's as pathetic as it sounds.

Easiest way to get laughed out of the courtroom when you attempt to use it as a legal defense.

The study itself highlights that this is a correlation, not evidence of direct causation. Still, evidence of a correlation with worsened outcomes for newborns is concerning in itself.

The only reason I can think of that EPA would act like this is regulatory capture.

You used a VPN... Right?

Not too hard to achieve after seeing how dead set Musk is on killing Twitter...

I completely disagree with the idea that people who do not choose to display unfettered consequentialism are responsible for negative outcomes, especially when the numbers are so small that it's barely relevant. Your view of politics is so polarized and embittered that it alienates anybody who looks at the world with shades of grey. Believe whatever you want, but if your takeaway is that the Liberal party should blame everybody else but themselves for their loss, then you will be just as rudderless as the party leadership when they lose the next election.

That is an absurd argument to make in a functional democracy, and I find it appalling you lack any self awareness of how entitled and cynical you sound. Why not direct this venom at the people of the riding who didn't vote, rather than the people who participated in democracy as intended? Why have venom at all?

If I was a swing voter, I would make sure any party whose supporters try to guilt trip me for exercising citizen's rights to vote (for whoever I want) is punished at the ballot box. That's not a winning strategy - that's being a sore loser.

I don't disagree with that. Poilievre won't want to burn political capital on this issue and would much rather neglect these services, even if it's fiscally irresponsible to saddle future governments with the bill for cleaning these messes up. Yea, it is exhausting to watch important services degrade day by day.

But once again, this only underscores the need to establish electoral reform so that a plurality of 40% will never again grant the Conservatives a majority government with which they can sledgehammer our institutions.
