And in terms of what Joel is suggesting neither of us, no, because Dale did not go into detail. All he said was that the canvasser mentioned three issues. The liberal and conservative platforms certainly discuss issues outside of federal jurisdiction
The courts have been very skeptical of legislation masking itself as criminal code laws when in fact they are regulating provincial jurisdiction issues. You can't pretend something is criminal legislation to avoid the constitutional divisions of power
I also find this line of criticism especially hypocritical when none of you said a thing about Carney's proposal around limiting where protests can occur, which even putting the Charter issues aside, clearly steps into provincial jurisdiction.
Nothing Dale said suggests Joel implies unilaterally doing things on these issues.
But the larger point is that Federal parties and federal politicians can absolutely have plans and strategies on how to impact areas that are under provincial jurisdiction. Why scoff at a canvasser for campaigning on this?
In Hamilton we are getting an LRT only because of federal commitments. That seems to me a pretty effective lever.
Also in transportation and childcare. Provincial areas of responsibility but nonetheless heavy Federal involvement
All the mega public transportation projects that are going on are intimately tied to Federal funding. This isn't a gotcha you think it is. Your shock and dramatic disappointment feels very bad faith here
The federal government is intimately involved in all those areas teven if it is technically outside their powers. Through funding the feds guide a lot of the decision making and policies. Child Care is technically a provincial area, but the $10 a day program was. initiated federally.
Omg this line: "It also took me three sittings to complete, and each one felt more torturous"
...like Greenbook this feels like a movie designed to make Hollywood liberals feel good about supporting something progressive in the most hamfisted condescending way possible. Anyone like it?
So Emilia Perez is bad bad...I have watched 45 minutes and just wow. I don't have time to watch much so may just bail. I can't imagine anyone portrayed liking what is on screen and the music is really outrageously horrible
during a canada post strike is when you really see the consequences of having virtually no labour journalists at major publications in canada, but a load of business journalists ready to parrot the corporate line
The devastation and harm that Ford's government is wreaking on our province - and the city of Toronto - is astounding. They KNOW these decisions will cost cyclists' lives which is why they're scrambling to preempt accountability. Proud of my MPP Jessica Bell for fighting the good fight.
I don't know if Bluesky will ever reach peak twitter but I go onto X and within minutes feel like shit...that hellscape is done
Bluesky has made it. I can once again explain very online things to my not very online wife and have her stare at me, bewildered. We’re back baby!!!!
