I can’t help but feel this is a bit of a stretch.

This is great news for anxious mice everywhere… which I assume is most all mice.

I had ChatGPT make a press release for them to help make the streets of Norfolk County safer:

Complete and utter garbage. The police in Canada are truly a place where the corrupt and incompetent go to prosper. I live a hop skip and a jump from where this incident occurred.

Shit I’ve been through where charges weren’t brought. A person in Barrie (while I was stopped there to charge the car) pulled a knife on me and said he cut me. A person in the town here via SMS said they would fuck me up. As a child, the father of the kid who stole my brother’s backpack threw a rock the size of a golf ball at me and hit me in the leg (the cop who investigated I learned was a friend of the child abuser and played in the same hockey league with him).

Please tell me someone is organizing a protest of some sort at this OPP office. Maybe we can organize a water toy amnesty program at this office.

I think this reply may be a part of the problem with this debate. It assumes that the participants in the program are agricultural workers. This is traditionally true, but under the current program agriculture workers only represent 60%.

An estimated 15% work in food service, with another 10% in the broader hospitality sector. 5-10% work in construction.

This right here. There is an appetite for a real party with actual progressive policies. But I guess we’ll have to go with Liberal light.

The party used to have a large and engaged progressive contingent involved in its governance. Most of those people have been driven away or have been banned as members. The NDP is not interested in good governance, they are interested in having a very small elite that controls every single thing about the part, the ridings, and its members and has ZERO tolerance for anyone who wants to do anything that isn’t following the orders of the that elite.

So yeah, the NDP doesn’t deserve good governance because that is not what the party wants.

With anti-democracy Lucy Watson being made national director, the party will be more and more like the Liberals from a policy standpoint. So I guess voting Liberal just skips the middle man?

If the party actually allowed itself to be ruled by its grassroots, then maybe things would be different, but it is fervently opposed to being accountable to its members - and largely even their own bylaws.

Yeah, you never see the Cons trying that sort of thing! Disgusting libs using what a politician actually says and does against them - presposterous!

Does no one see the irony of a negative post complaining about negativity?
