.@farronbalanced https://t.co/vOTHHvnx3v This is how one ranked-choice voting method, Hare, works. Look into systems like Borda, Condorcet, Coombs' method and others. Many commentators like @KyleKulinski and @krystalball also make this mistake.

@BruceMcIvor ...is explicit on the point of requiring the unanimous consent of Parliament and the provincial legislatures to change the composition of the Supreme Court of Canada. Adding two justices to the court, and requiring that three justices be Indigenous, would be such a change.

[Daniel Pareja @nobthehobbit]

@BruceMcIvor "There should be three Indigenous appointments and one way to do that is to expand the court. We could move from 9 to 11. That could be done by parliament. It doesn't take a constitutional change. Parliament could do that." How so? Sec. 41(d) of the Constitution Act, 1982...

.@esaagar Re: https://t.co/38EAMhpXxn Anthony Kennedy was a Reagan appointee (same with O'Connor, who joined Kennedy on Casey), and he did vote to put Bush Jr. in office in 2000. David Souter was Bush Sr.'s nominee and he completely flipped on the Republican Party in 2000.

.@krystalball Re https://t.co/T6FPl2T4HT Codifying same-sex marriage into federal law in the US would have extremely limited impact. It's well-established in US law that each state defines marriage as it sees fit, except as required by the federal Constitution.

I don't agree with using terrorist financing laws against the protesters. But they were clearly causing substantial harm to the public.

[Daniel Pareja @nobthehobbit]

What about the harm done to the residents of Centretown by having 100 dB horns blaring at all hours, in defiance of court orders, @esaagar? What about the incipient harm done because emergency vehicles couldn't get through? What about the 911 line being jammed by fake calls?

As is often pithily noted, your freedom to swing your fists stop at the other person's nose. These protesters did a whole hell of a lot more than swing their fists at the residents of the areas where they protested.

[Daniel Pareja @nobthehobbit]

https://t.co/gbvZWuBTJh @esaagar The Emergencies Act does not override the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. We have s. 1, but that is just an explicit acknowledgement of the reality that all rights have limits.

[Daniel Pareja @nobthehobbit]

which can potentially prevent emergency services from reaching the town of Sweet Grass, Montana.

People have a right to protest, but as with all rights, they stop when their impacts on others become overly deleterious.

[Daniel Pareja @nobthehobbit]

You're uninformed on a few points here, @esaagar https://t.co/DSJ3MUGwjW. For one, the noise created by the convoy is highly disruptive to residents of Centretown, to the point where protest organisers are facing a potential class-action lawsuit.

Hey @KyleKulinski it's not like the data wasn't in literally years ago. Canada has had safe injection sites since 2003 (which the Conservatives tried to shut down) and they've been saving lives. https://t.co/WxMCg8xIWj

https://t.co/q0E6HiOWP0 @KyleKulinski I think this is partly Trump's egomania. He probably gets daily briefings about how many lives the vaccines are saving, and it feeds his ego to be told that "his" vaccines are saving hundreds of thousands, if no millions, of lives.
