  • Costed platforms should be a requirement of being on the ballot, and not at the 11th hour the day before. It should be, at a minimum, due by the halfway point of the campaign. Election is announced and we have 12 weeks till election day? Any party that doesn’t have a costed platform written and available for the public to view by midnight 6 weeks til election day, sorry, you are welcome to run again next time, off the ballot.

    I know we will just end up with different bullshit shinanigans but at least they have to do their homework and then we can laugh at it.



  • Its bonkers that we spend so much city funds to make every road and sideroad and street an extra 1-2 lanes wide, then store private vehicles there… The snow storm in Toronto was fun to watch. Main streets with cars that had been parked for over a week. Not because they were trapped, I get that the first few days. But because they leave what, once or twice a month?

    Speaking from experience. My mother-in-law just said “oh well I’ll walk.” For 2 weeks, before we realized she just couldn’t unbury her car on her own. So why does she own a car that lives permanently on a side street?

    Listening to our Wanna-Be-Mayor shutting down our bike lanes because they block traffic, I drive (yes I’m part of the problem) daily along routes that have parking outside of morning rush hour or whatever, and I’ll count 19 cars over a 2km stretch that essentially turn 2 lanes into 1 plus sometimes a turning lane. But yes. It’s the bike lanes that are the problem…




  • I’m really not following you anymore.

    I wasn’t dismissing the fact that (in Ontario anyways) the HPV vaccine was rolled out for girls and not boys. I’m trying to get you to use your brain and think about “why” that would be.

    Because if you think some board of doctors and scientists in the late 90’s was like “you know what, fuck men, let’s give this vaccine only to women, that will level the playing field.” Then I don’t know what to tell you.







  • So… no coherent point. Thank you for clarifying.

    Anyone can earn my vote by:

    Prioritizing healthcare and social services (including education) Protecting basic human rights. Not being a shit-bag of a human nor tolerating them in government. Focusing on green economic growth.

    I don’t base my votes off who can get me the most irrationally mad about issues that are invented or overblown. And while I have a whole list of complaints about the uselessness of the changes to gun laws here, the biggest one is how effective it is at mobilizing otherwise happily dissconnected voters into actually taking the time to go vote. It’s like 8d chess where the Liberals are looking for a way to get the Conservative vote out and found the key…

    Gary and his Demons is wild, hard to say if it’s up your alley.

    Cavendish you might enjoy the supernatural angle.

    Dark Matter? Is that on gem? It was filmed in Toronto and has a small following. (Just checked it is not…)

    Started Poker face and it’s got some good vibes.
