IDK if you noticed, but the first time a mod showed up in CanPol in weeks and they killed the thread for no reason, then opened another one with exact same OP from two years ago. I have no idea what you're expecting, but I'd bet on "capricious" and "arbitrary"

ChickenWing posted:Yeah it's p silly - haven't previous threads followed the federal election cycle, mostly? Yes, because that's a cycle that makes sense as far as discussions of Canadian politics goes. This break in the thread just makes it awkward to go back and quote things, which is something we're doing fairly often as COVID and the government's response remains the primary topic of conversation. Sitll, I don't want to get too down on GreyjoyBastard. They're trying, and I know this is a tough time for the mods. infernal machines fucked around with this message at 16:17 on May 29, 2021 |

Vintersorg posted:I do sometimes wonder how other cities/provinces view it. Here in Winnipeg the CFL is nearly as big as the NHL in terms of passion and fan engagement. Bombers are a big loving deal. Depends on the city I guess. Someone in Toronto may care about the Argos, but I've never met them.

Same for me in the late 90s/early 2000s. I don't think it was part of any curriculum, but some teachers cared enough to work it in.

Another Bill from Toronto is wonderfully ambiguous. Is it a guy named Bill? More chicanery from Queen's Park? Who knows?

MA-Horus posted:At a time when parks are being used more than ever before, I bring you the National Post! Clown-rear end motherfucker. I know it's NatPo and not knowing things is how you get an editorial spot in the first place, but he could at least pretend to have some concept of urban issues before slaming his face into the keyboard for another column. Bonus points for using an image showing a park being used by dozens of people in the article where he says parks aren't used except by people walking their dogs. The column is actually much worse than the blurb suggests. Mostly his problem is that there are now encampments in the parks (you know, because the shelter system which was already woefully underfunded essentially collapsed during COVID), and he thinks that if we privatized them that wouldn't happen anymore. He also thinks he can just pay for park amenities directly, because somehow the city doing that with tax revenue is bad, because of an anecdote about people who don't have jobs at McDonalds. I wish I were making this up. infernal machines fucked around with this message at 20:02 on Jun 2, 2021 |

Fidelitious posted:This seems like a roundabout way of him saying that he wants paid access to parks so that he can enjoy them without the poors messing it up, and sort of trying to use some side nonsense about social housing as cover? It's that, but the cover gets dropped immediately. Also he doesn't like that the city hires students/teens to staff the amenities.

St. Dogbert posted:So, is Dr. Williams ignoring the established pattern in order to provide Ford cover not to accelerate the announced reopening schedule, or are the higher-ups in the Ford government still unable to discern basic data patterns after 15 months of this pandemic? If I had to guess, I'd say the latter.

DariusLikewise posted:Manitoba PCs sold a provincial park and there's two others out for RFPs right now The tweet says one has been privatized, but the article says there are RFPs out for the three parks, so it's still in the proposal stage. There is an official opposition in Manitoba isn't there? You'd expect someone to have made mention of selling off provincial lands before it passed legislature.

Welp. That's some bullshit. You'd think the sale of provincial assets would take a bit more than just announcing an RFP.

Well, it's also a product of the solid decade or so the media spent demonizing Muslims after 2001, so maybe they don't want to try too hard to understand.

What the gently caress? How does that happen in Toronto in 2021? I mean in the sense of "How was there not a group of other Torontonians around to step in and if necessary tune up the aggressors?". The mind boggles. infernal machines fucked around with this message at 19:08 on Jun 9, 2021 |
