I'm not going to say, "The worst part..." but certainly an especially galling part of all this is that when confronted with these figures, Doug Ford can just shrug and say, "The PCP has increased ODSP payouts by more than any other party before us," and he'd be right. It's not sufficient but it's enough to quell his base and that's all it takes, because no one else votes.

The satanic panic. It made playing RPGs and video games feel so fucking metal.

I wish I could still get something out of ratatat. Its like when you watch your favourite genre of porn until it just doesn't work anymore.

Okay. Interesting premise. Now you have to rationally show how that leads to dictatorship. Or you're just a monkey flinging shit. A broken, insecure, triggered person who is anger posting in bad faith for his own emotional needs.

Why are you acting like there is a MEANINGFUL difference? The differences that you state are arbitrary. Who cares if it was personal or not? Murders are almost NEVER random, so what?

Clearly in your mind the difference between assassination and murder is not only obvious, but it is super important and relevant in some way that no one else here is getting. Assassination IS murder. SO what is your point, exactly?! Why are you so het up about what is really nothing more than a question of pedantry?? To the point that you are insulting the intelligence of everyone who doesn't see things your way. It sounds like you have some kind of emotional issue with this.

I think you need to make a point about how this is more than "just" a murder, but possibly an attempt to influence the behaviour of other CEOs, or something like that.

The ambitions and interests of Trudeau might (for the sake of argument) be, "do whatever it takes to stay in office," but the interests of the people who have the power to put him there are, "maximize my financial profits." He is going to be thrown under the bus exactly so that these sorts of reforms don't have to become a serious option for another ten years.

If wealthy people aren't content, they can improve the system for everyone.

Like If I link peer-reviewed articles on this stuff, you’d call me an incel & a misogynist

It might not be the articles' fault.

We're REALLY like you to explain the difference you see. Even if we think there is one, no one has any idea what you are talking about.
