The people who wear white socks with slides in public have something to say about my ankle socks? Get off my lawn, idiot kids.
All I want is Corbyn to win Islington North.
Yea, in fact if Labour fucks this up, Reform will ride a wave of populist right wing nastiness in the next election...
The "Right" harps on the fact that they are Syrians to somehow paint all Syrians, all Muslims, all immigrants with the same brush, stoking fears of population replacement and other such bullshit.
The "Left" says that we have already laws for mob violence, apply them. Bad people who are Syrians exist just like bad people who are Italians exist and just like bad people who are Americans exist and bad people who are Canadians exist. There is zero reason to weaponize the bad behaviour of those bad people to enact discriminatory policies against an entire community. Just apply the existing law. Persecute these assholes for the homophobic hate crime they did. Why is that not enough? In fact, the only people who would say this would not be enough are people with a hate agenda of their own, i.e., the far right..
I don't disagree, but I think there you can trip them up with saying that you are making the majority of streets more quiet and family friendly keeping those horrible people from that other neighbourhood from speeding through our streets etc etc. Push the right buttons and you can play nimbys like a fiddle.
Your populist "solution" was to demolish councilor property. How many councillors are there? How many parking spots did you create? 20? 30? Wooptie doo. Venting is not public policy.
One major difference between Canada and the US is the Westminster parliamentary system and the fact that we don't have a quasi religious commitment to a piece of paper and founding daddy issues. The two party system will probably never become as ironclad as in the US because we don't have the Imperial Presidency where every election is an event of cosmic proportions. Instead our system has a lot more space for power sharing (minority governments, coalitions, supply and support, etc). Plus Québec, which is literally Canada's saving grace, no matter what Canadians think. (New Canadian who loves QC here.)
Yay, you just created 20 parking spots and "punished" some people. Happy now? You still have the same fucking problem...
Make those dumbass two way streets a one way street, and use the parked cars as barriers to separate bikes from moving cars (curb, bikelane, parking, driving, parking, bikelane, curb). There, no parking space lost. Not the absolute safest thing but it naturally puts the street on a diet, is damn well safer than nothing and it takes care of the parking argument.
Why do you say that the UN Sustainable Development Goals are a recipe for trouble?
Palestine has the right to defend itself.
Sounds like kinks to be ironed out rather than insurmountable problems tbh.
I haven't read the article but.... :)
Generally the big problem we still have to solve with reviewables is storage.
I think that one advantage that the NL has with renewables is that they don't have the storage problem, because they can always reroute to more pumping water out the polders.
There are places far more misogynistic than the US that have had women presidents/heads of government. Pakistan of all places has had a woman prime minister.
“A republic, if you can keep it.”
Do you know of any version with English subs?
This kind of hate crime should be persecuted to the fullest extent. Lynch mobs like this should never be normalized.
Schooling is mandatory until 18. Any other activity has to not interfere with that. Beyond that, do what ye will.
The entire post war international order was to make sure Germany does not engage in military power politics in general and France does not do it in Europe in particular. The EU functioned as designed and that's good. WW2 is still too raw for anyone to accept German military power in Europe. It's just not politically acceptable.
And the author completely underplayed the role of NATO. The deal has always been that American muscle will be funded by German money. The EU and NATO are not at odds with each other, they complement each other.
Also, bro should not drop a quote every other paragraph, it makes it annoying to read.
Quebec's housing crisis goes beyond supply and demand, says new report
Submitting for this truly astonishing quote:

Watch/read the speech that I could not deliver because German police burst into our Berlin venue to disband our Palestine Congress (1930s style) before I could address the meeting. Today, because I dared publish this speech here, the Ministry of Interior issued a “Betätigungsverbot” against me, a ba...

The Age of Sigmar double turn is an albatross round its neck
>The double turn is an attempt to use a very simple system – a single die roll – to introduce a very dramatic outcome – comebacks – in a game that wants to provide an even playing field for competition.
