Conservative distraction-politics is very Trump-style politics.

Certainly, maybe you can make a new AskLemmy post for that.

Budget 2016 through 2021 - Preliminary work

This train project is not a thing Trudeau suddenly wanted for the election.

They have slowed some appointments in House committees.

The Senate Democrats have stayed late to filibuster nominations

Democrats have repeatedly attempted unsuccessfully to enter federal agency buildings to investigate ‘what the Doge doin’

Democrats have an upcoming opportunity to refuse to pass a budget with the trillion dollar tax cuts that Musk and other billionaire are trying to somehow justify with every fibre of their being. This means that everyone in the House (including purple state Republicans) have to be in lock step, even 2-3 R-defectors will mean it doesn’t pass.

Democrats have been proposing amendments left and right, into the night… House members have suggested excluding people with wealth over $10M, $100M and $500M, all voted down. Senators like Andy Kim for example, have put on their Instagram pages, what they are trying to do.

Congresspeople are doing their job harder than they ever thought they would have to, but we should expect more.

I do think all the Democrats, should take more opportunities to visit their states to make people aware of what’s going on, what they’re doing in Congress to try to stop the worst stuff happening, and what ordinary people can do to push back as well. I think members should also boost each others message because probably pages like AOC’s have a lot more viewers from a district than their own district’s House Rep.

Example:

The main difference is that the Brazilian Supreme Court judges have a spine, while American SC judges have an RV.

My local riding flipped today from CPC likely to LPC! That’s encouraging.

Continuing your point, for alternatives that are not Loblaws owned, there’s:

• London Drugs
• Rexall
• Pharmasave
• Guardian/I.D.A./Remedy’sRx
• Jean-Coutu/Metro/Food Basics Pharmacy (owned by Metro grocery store chain)

for Canadian owned and operated chains of pharmacies. There are definitely many independent ones under other logos and brands, and some other ones outside the provinces I’m familiar with.

Yeah unless some opportunist co-opted the name/theme (which would make them equally as deranged), it appears the same person who had many accounts referring to themselves in 3rd person, has switched to talking in a more typical way (but with Nazi-sympathetic rhetoric).

Trump during the campaign has said a lot of things during the campaign. Some very concerning, some things appealing broadly. Some things he has said polar opposite things at consecutive campaign rallies. (You can still see it happening now with the “Ukraine started the Russian occupation” then “Russia started the Russian occupation”). Some promises he hasn’t done a thing to keep, such as make life affordable. I think a lot of people were holding on to that promise.

A lot of other things he didn’t promise at all, he is doing, supposedly to bury the lede. Did he ever talk about Denmark, Greenland or Panama in his 2024 campaign? We know he likes tariffs but I think the 51st state BS came about after his election.

Axe the tax, Build the homes, Project onto liberals…

Yeah the whole Tenet media thing

These Influencers were receiving $400k USD per month from Russian channels.

Canada doing anything is making itself look mighty good, against the backdrop of the shitshow across the border…

Grocery stores change their store music based on age groups and other characteristics that tend to visit at various times. Here’s a mediocre source, I can’t find one anymore that called out stores targeting specific demographics of people based on time of day.

So to me personally, I could infer that if they know old people shop on weekday mornings and young people on weekday nights and weekends, then fiddling around with the price every hour based on perceived ability-to-pay may amount to price-discrimination by age group, gender or ethnicity.

Sad but kinda hilarious. Lemmy.ca appears to have a better succession plan in place through the nonprofit organization…

So if I’m understanding correctly:

Doug Ford is using bike lane removal as a distraction, to bypass criticism of the parts of the bill that bypasses oversight and accountability, in order to build the bypass that bypasses Toronto’s overcrowded bypass?
