In this case there would never be “won by a single vote” because any party that gets a minimum percentage of the vote already has a seat. More importantly, the people that voted for the “losing party” would have better representation as more of the vote would go to smaller parties (that better represent the minority of people) thereby making the house of commons a better representation of Canada. In contrast FPTP means any party that get’s >50% of the votes has most of the power which means anyone that didn’t vote for them is essentially left without a voice in the HoC, or at least a greatly diminished voice.

Personally I just really hate seeing policy whiplash with liberal and conservative PMs undoing each others bills when one or the other is elected (especially on a provincial level). 🤦

…this is also not to mention PR would likely increase voter turnout by a lot.

We really need proportional representation… IMO it’s good that the riding isn’t conservative anymore, but I still wish that ~half the population of that riding didn’t just essentially elected no one.

Listen, betting on which horse will when the campaign race is no basis for a system of government.

(It would) significantly ease congestion on the busiest highway in North America, […]

No, it would make it worse.

Nation wide high speed rail would be best IMO.

When you look at all of the infrastructure upgrades that need to be done, water, sewage, the lack of schools, the lack of hospital care and hospital professionals – we’re not set up for this.

Guess you better get to work and stop whining.

It’s also inherently a conflict of interest, people that own homes there will pass laws so that their property value increases. Rent goes up, and now people (mainly students) are paying ~$1000 per month to live in someones bedroom and even more for a shoddily renovated basement “suite”.

I have a slightly more positive view of manga because it’s more likely to be hand drawn (March Comes in Like a Lion, Made in Abyss) but one of the things I really don’t like about manwha/manhua is that it’s always (as far as I’ve seen) a continuous strip which means I have to scroll a lot. I have an auto-scroll extension but it makes me dizzy after a while. I do appreciate how each of them have their own unique style, I think that’s pretty cool.

Also my first “manga” was Scott Pilgrim. Author’s Canadian and IIRC it was read right to left but everyone still called it a manga.

It’s pretty fun so far, and I haven’t even finished the training levels.

In Chinese it’s 比亚迪 which sounds like Biyadi [insert fancy Winnie the Pooh meme here]

When officers approached the car, it quickly drove off. Police said the driver was operating the vehicle erratically; running red lights, weaving through traffic, and hitting speeds around 90 km/h in the downtown core.

Multiple police units, including the Tactical Support Team and the Canine Unit helped stop the vehicle near St. Michael Road and Pulberry Street.

The driver was arrested and officers discovered he had a quantity of methamphetamine in his possession.

Consider using a Chemex. If it’s kept away from explosions and impacts with rigid surfaces, it’ll keep ‘working’ until the heat death of the universe. You can even keep using the same filters if they’re the right size.
