I don’t think MPs actually have to live in the riding they represent as a matter of law. It’s mostly just so you have some skin in the game and don’t look like an outsider to voters.
I agree that ignoring 4.6% of the provincial population is misguided. I’m certainly not advocating for it, but that’s the reality.
In the context of Bill 21, what does it mean to take a bill seriously when it doesn’t affect you? As far as I’m concerned, the Liberals would never implement something like that nationwide even if they were forced to more significantly rely on BQ for support.
Carney could literally ignore the NDP for the next 4 years and I doubt it would make any difference. I say this as an NDP voter.
BQ has over 3 times the seats, it makes way more sense to try to work with them because you only need to convince 4/22 of them instead of 4/7 (and the things that BQ asks for in return may be a lot more politically achievable than whatever the NDP asks for, because they like to go big).
Carney may also want to cosy up to Quebec voters who were not entirely impressed with his French and don’t trust him. Having a good relationship with BQ may go a long way for these people.
I don’t love it, but the NDP don’t have leverage here.
On Friday, the Conservative Party announced Conservative MP-elect Damien Kurek will resign to allow Poilievre to run in an upcoming byelection.
Kurek was first elected in the Alberta riding of Battle River—Crowfoot in 2019.
The Conservatives handily won that riding on Monday with nearly 82 per cent of the vote.
Of course it’s Alberta and solidly blue.
About time. You have to wonder whether that’ll stop any of the others, though. They were creating fucking tutorials for this shit and spreading it. A lot of these people torturing kids were other kids. Really horrible stuff.
I hope the victims are or will be okay.
I would hazard a guess that jurisdiction over elections is both federal and provincial, depending on the type of election. This is similar to how most governance systems are set up in Canada, like healthcare (i.e., federal legislation empowers provinces to self-regulate and pass their own legislation).
I think, if that’s the case, that we can pursue electoral reform on either a federal or provincial basis. Maybe we should be encouraging people to write to both their MP and their MLA/MPP.
From a data analysis perspective, it doesn’t really make sense not to ask for it if it’s going to be affecting every aspect of a person’s life. Knowing the implications of belonging to a particular caste in terms of life circumstances and statistical outcomes could be valuable.
That said, I don’t trust a dictatorship to collect, analyze, and draw conclusions from demographic information fairly or responsibly.
I’m currently playing Research Story, that one is pretty cute. There are romances. I don’t know about combat since I haven’t gotten that far (just a few hours of play); it doesn’t really seem like there will be combat, but there could be.
I’d also recommend Apico, Mudborne, Littlewood, or Fields of Mistria. I’m sure I’m missing a ton. I think Steam has “Cute,” “Romance,” and “Slice of Life” tags if you wanted to browse those on the storefront.
