Their entire survival hinges on keeping investment money flowing, which means they essentially have to lie and over-promise.

A chronic issue plaguing the entire tech and media sector right now. Line must go up no matter the costs.

The stunt driving charge includes a 30-day licence suspension and the vehicle is impounded for 14 days.

Driving dangerously fast and endangering the lives of other drivers and then flees from the cops and is still allowed to drive after a month?

There is something seriously wrong here.

I’d imagine he will do what Trump often does in debates.

Spew so much BS that you drag your opponent down to your level. It’s hard to debate someone who isn’t even playing by the rules in the first place.

People blaming the current premier for problems that he has little control over so they can elect someone who has no plan or ability to tackle them.

This is potentially going to be an extremely damaging election all because of voters being extremely naive and irresponsible.

It’s politician-speak for “Lie and distract until the heat dies down and then sweep this under the rug and move on”.

I lived close enough to my school that I was able to walk every day. Every morning I had to deal with self-centered parents dropping their crotchspawn off at school. I nearly got run over numerous times while crossing the street- a few of which got close enough that their front bumpers touched the backs of my legs as I walked. One parent cut in front of me instead of behind me, and I was able to punch the back of their car as they sped off.

Keep in mind I was a child when this was happening. These were parents that were very nearly running over a child willingly.

Delaying the inevitable. He should have stepped down when he had the chance. His pride is going to give his party a catastrophic election loss.

A mixture of people voting with their hearts instead of their minds, and people being very ignorant about politics.

The end result is a voting population that will vote based on knee-jerk emotional reactions and are very gullible and lead astray by false promises, lies, and misinformation. Basically: They are extremely easy to manipulate.

A lot of Canadians feel Trudeau is a shit, do-nothing politician and PM and that he has to go, and I frankly agree with them. The problem, though, is that they let their hatred of the PM (and his party) blind them and they end up voting for a party which has no functional solutions to everything they hate Trudeau for. The problems that Trudeau has neglected DO need to be taken care of but the CPC doesn’t have a platform or policies to actually deal with them. Voters don’t care though; they just want Trudeau gone. They just want red party gone.

Two or three years from now when PP is prime minister - his ratings are going to tank and people are going to start hating him. The scandals will start stacking up and media pressure on him and his corrupt ministers will continue to grow, and many who voted for him will be crying that they got betrayed. Maybe some day people will learn to stop voting for con artists but I doubt it’ll be in my lifetime.

Ah, yes. “Balance the budget” - the one thing any politician can say to instantly generate voter favour. It’s like a magic money printing button but for votes.

If you think about it for more than three seconds you realise it doesn’t even mean anything or make any sense. It’s an empty fluff promise that people think will somehow make their lives better.

I dunno, I have had nothing but awful experiences with Shaw for over 10 years even when they were independent. They consistently lied to me and my family, overcharged us, and provided shoddy service which, at times, was barely functional. The layout of my local Shaw office is burned into my mind forever because of how damn often I was in that place.

My decision to stop playing online games a few years ago continues to prove that it was a good choice. The games industry in general is going to shit but online games in particular are in race to the bottom of greed, malice, and contempt.

Smartphones in general.

It will be very close. Depends on what the ex BC-United voters will do now.

Maybe this will be the lesson that Albertans need to stop electing crooks. Right?

… right?

Steam needs to offer refunds when a game does this - at the publisher’s expense. They should put it right into their ToS for game publishers that want to sell on the platform.

I wish we did things for own reasons instead of just doing whatever the US told us to do.

Amount of people surprised by this:

I miss my Z10, Q5, and Leap.

You might not. Many Americans might not. But the internet is annoyingly US-centric and can be frustrating to use as a non-American. A random example: Numerous times I’ve gone to sign up/purchase something and put “Canada” as the country and the “State” and “Zip code” boxes never changed. I have been denied purchases and registration several times because the website was coded to only accept US zip codes even if I change the country.

So many sites just assume everyone is American, speaking American English, and interested in American things.

They won’t.
