I think he's the right direction the NDP need to go in, but Rob Ashton himself is pretty uninspiring when you listen to him talk.

It's kind of ridiculous it took this long to enforce community mailboxes. I acknowledge some people are physically unable to reach a community mailbox but it's such a small percentage it doesn't make sense to base the entire system around them. There's already ways to get door delivery for those people who live in areas with community mailboxes.

Can we be totally honest and admit the only reason we still have door delivery is to protect the jobs of mail carriers?

I don't know what a rooming house is but it's 1 box per unit/address. The keys can just be copied so if a bunch of people share 1 box you can just each have your own copy.

I think it depends on how you engage with it. I work with some younger people who are active AI users, and they call chatgpt "he" or "she" and prompt it like a conversation with a person. Their responses are a lot more conversational vs mine which are more direct.

Remember, the same reasons we're critical of Trump's tariffs (just hurts your own economy, ends up as just an extra tax on consumers) apply to our counter tariffs. I want to punish the US for their actions, but were the tariffs even helping us?

I think the rhetoric we're hearing from Trump is a sign that we're going to get a good deal. But I do think any "good" deal with Trump will be a net negative and it will be a long 4 years.

Steel and aluminum remain at 50%, and the EU has to invest in the US and buy military equipment from them. Sounds like a terrible deal and I hope we (Canada) don't make a similar one.

Polievre still doesn't understand how a blind trust works eh?

This has been my gripe with the national insurance plan - I think we should've started a national dentist service (or a CHA equivalent where we fund provinces to run a service) and not just run an insurance plan for private providers. Either that or regulation and standardization of pricing and care delivery.

I scored 17/28 on https://jsdate.wtf/ and all I got was this lousy text to share on social media.

Idk anything about Date but got pretty far with intuition of JS whackiness
