He's literally the NDP premiere of Manitoba...

There's nothing secret about it. They told us up front.

It's why I stopped using Windows.

Alberta takes every opportunuty to sniff its own farts. They believe they are better than the rest of us, and that they have a divine right to tell us what to do.

Not necessarily at the individual level, but at the provincial, cultural level.

They're into the same wild self-egrandizing as the Americans. They can't say anything good about themselves without sneering at someone else. They are selfish, they are bullies, and they are a national embarrasment.

No, this is a failure on that front. The Conservatives should be a non-factor now, but they're disturbingly close. This is a tight election that has kind of crushed the left-ish party.

The country is deeply polarized, and it's entirely the fault of billionaires and their media companies

Land doesn't vote, but my neighbours do, and I want to know whether I need to spit on them or not.

And to engage peoples hard, negative feelings. The conservatives keep capturing the NDP's natural base because they refuse to actually reflect their feelings and perceptions back to them. This whole "let's get along, and cancel your bank fees" thing doesn't resonate.

He's already demanded an investigation into those opinion polls. He won't be looking in the mirror.

It works the same on Lemmy, it's just that on Lemmy you subscribe to groups, and on Mastodon you subscribe to users.

Groups just forward replies and other interactions it sees to subscribers.

Languages, famously static constructs.

You have to soft launch your fascist dictatorship. People need time to accept the possibility.

It took a lifetime to turn the Roman Republic into the Principate. You gotta ease into these things to keep peope from shanking you on the senate floor.
