It’s not trying to reference the slur.
Raccoons are to Toronto as Rats are to New York.

He wants to tax the rich, and increase universal health coverage. Dental (already got some of this through), prescription medications, and mental health care for all. The last one is huge, because a lot of homelessness is directly related to addiction and mental health.

Also, if you are a Canadian who received CERB cheques during the covid-19 lockdowns, you can thank the NDP. The NDP have also been pushing for paid sick days for workers Canada-wide, which has happened, but not to the extent that they wanted.

You can likely just block the magazine for yourself, or you can contact https://kbin.melroy.org/u/melroy about it.

The butterfly, or an overweight jungle cat?

People can have more than one account, so there might be overlap between these two instances.

Also, having an account on one of these two doesn’t make you a vegan, just like having an account on any other instance doesn’t mean you’re not a vegan.

If you bought a house at the very top of your budget and the payments went up, it doesn’t really matter how much money you make.

The Greens are also full of crazy people, and very inconsistent from member to member. Greens run the gamut of “We need to stop climate change while also helping the poor”, to “Vaccines are evil, you need to sun your yoni instead, and 9/11 was an inside job that also never happened”.

Even if they can stop having negative headlines, they would need a constant platform and candidate vetting process to get my vote again.

You should be showing your source.

I gave it a fair chance a few times, and I am not a fan. I was told by friends that I needed to be high to like it, which has confirmed in my head that it’s not for me. Things should be able to stand up on their own.

who ran the worst campaign in modern history.

He should be in jail, he’s genuinely not a good person, and I am surprised that he was allowed to run in the first place, but if the point of a campaign is to win, was the campaign “bad”?

I went with the Razr (2023), and it’s great. It was cheap, it gets small, and the screen is on the inside, meaning I don’t need to worry about things scratching it, and the battery lasts a long time.
If there is another similar phone when I go to replace mine, I will grab it.
If all the market offers me is an expensive phone with a giant outer screen, I won’t.

If SK can stop fiddling with clocks twice a year, other provinces can do it too.

The three “normal” suggestions are:

C*ash Slap is on the poster, which is probably supposed to be a reference to Crash Bash.

If you don’t remember Crash Bash, that makes sense, it wasn’t great.

If it’s a word that already ends in an s in its singular form, like Travis, I would pronounce it like “Travis is”.
It’s a word that only got an s at the end because it’s pluralized, like “Smiths”, I would generally just pronounce it like “Smiths”.

The US election is an election of elections.

They break the election into smaller elections, based on where people live. It doesn’t matter if someone gets 99% of the votes in that area, or 50.0000001% of the votes. Winning is winning.

So if someone wins 49% of the smaller elections, but wins them with a high enough amount, they can have more total votes and still lose the whole thing.

Edit: Let’s say there are only 3 areas of 10 people each.

Area 1: Goes to Person A
Person A: 9
Person B: 1

Area 2: Goes to Person B
Person A: 4
Person B: 6

Area 3: Goes to Person B
Person A: 4
Person B: 6

So person B wins 2 of the 3 mini elections, which makes them win the whole thing.
Person B had 13 votes, Person A had 17 votes.
Person A would win if it was “popular vote”

Sorry, I thought the person who was assumed dead was the father, not the character receiving the shares. If the person receiving the shares was the one assumed dead, it makes way more sense as to why it was less believable. It’s still possible but, unless things were set-up in a way that already assumed that everyone would be dead, except for that one guy, who is still totally alive but is going to be missing for a while, then it’s highly unlikely.
Then again, this is a universe where magic exists, so a wizard did it.

Depending on how long MC was presumed dead, and if there were any issues with either his estate, or of his father, the shares could be held by the personal representative of either estate for quite some time. If there was any less than 7 years between when his father died, and when he came back, then it’s completely reasonable that he would be entitled to those shares. The longer it is after that seven years, the less likely it is that he would have the shares. The shares could’ve also been held by another entity, like a family trust or holding company. And as long as a trustee, or a controlling interest in the holding company, was still alive and willing, they could give him back the shares.

But: He wouldn’t have an officer or director position in the main company if he was presumed dead. Directors need to be re-appointed every year, and depending on the set-up of the corporation, you sometimes need to be a director in order to be an officer, or the officers need to be reappointed every year. A position like “chairman” was likely appointed to someone else rather quickly after the presumed death. Then again, it might also have the wildest bylaws ever written, likely by a wizard.

Thanks. I hadn’t read the article yet, and I was concerned that the (real) CBC went hard-right.

Banana also isn’t a valid answer, but if you have the chance, you always go Banana.
