FPTP strikes again, where 23% of the population get you a majority government because when only 48% bothered to vote and only 48% voted for the winning party, it still worked out. “Strong mandate” is a myth in #BCPoli

I was yester-day old when I learned that “under rules introduced in 2017, the public subsidy to each party is calculated based on the TOTAL number of votes its candidates received in the last general election.” So even in ridings with no realistic chance to win with FPTP, each vote DOES matter!

Here’s a thought: If MPs crossing the floor to join the Liberals gave them majority, which MPs are BRAVE enough to cross to either NDP or Green to downgrade them back to Minority so that our PM will HAVE to listen to what Canadians are asking for? We have #NoPlanetB

Dear Canadian pundit class, You DO NOT under any circumstances have to give Jason Kenney any credit for his work on the remain side of the referendum. He created this mess by legitimizing the separatists after inviting them into his party and trying to use them to leverage the federal government.
Dear Premier Ford, It took SEVERAL FOI requests from The Toronto Star to show Ontarians the truth about gambling-related suicides. They jumped 8-FOLD in just TWO YEARS ..after which, the study you'd promised somehow got panned. Anything ELSE we should know ? Signed.
Toronto Star@thestar.com · last wk.Online gambling has been incredibly lucrative for the province. Ontarians wagered more than $82.7 billion in the 2024-25 fiscal year. That windfall has come at a cost, critics say. Suicides by people with gambling issues have increased, according to data from Ontario’s chief coroner.
