@Leafguy991 @inquiringmind76@patgagnon_75 AB, SK, and MB are the only governments voted in by a majority of votes. The rest won with 30-40% of the vote from an avg 55% turnout. Basically power is held with about 20% of the vote. Even the best PM we've ever seen won on 20% and lost the popular vote 2 elections in a row.
@asifintoronto @MJMCK3NNA It is deeply harmful to suppress children's natural urges. That is why after my kids are done with their ice cream dirt lunch I'm going to give them the clippers to cut their hair.
@asifintoronto Children are the property of the state. I don't care what religion you have at home, but the state believes in LGBTQ2SIIABMPC+ and that supersedes any hocus pocus about Adam and Eve.
@ThePerfect57187@IngleWitch @Atlantianaryan @FunkGodArtist@Nantanreikan Just because virtually every Black person in Canada chose it, doesn't mean that they weren't forced in to the trans Atlantic slave trade spiritually.
@IngleWitch @Atlantianaryan @FunkGodArtist@Nantanreikan Exactly. Black people from Nigeria, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Haiti, St Louis, and Port Coquitlam are the same culture. More people need to know this.
I worked for an Ontario Minister of Finance, and also inside a few government ministries.
Cabinet ministers cannot drive themselves on work days. In fact it's forbidden, an ironclad rule they have no say in at all.
Because:
1. Canada is a major world economic player. A modern nation state. Entire regions of the world depend on Canada existing as a trusted reliable partner.
2. Now imagine a (ie: FIN) Minister who works around the clock, and can send stock markets plunging, erasing billions in economic activity, with a one word misspoke or misquote.
On-call 24-7 for domestic and international crises and sensitive cabinet decisions.
Imagine that person driving themself to work every day or between meetings in downtown Toronto and Ottawa.
3. DAILY we'd end up with :
Auto accidents
DUIs
Unreachable ministers in a crisis when many lives depend on rapid signoffs
Dead ministers
Dead pedestrians
Constant cabinet shuffles
That's disfunctional.
Investor confidence would collapse. Canada would be unstable and unreliable.
Avoiding that is worth the comparitively miniscual cost of a driver.
@Mikeggibbs Maybe he'd have had more practice if he'd gotten the safe and effective shot that has no side effects and stops the spread. Selfishness brings Karma.
