As someone who voted for Don Davies in spite of his party in the last election, I find this really funny. I don’t particularly want my vote for him locked to the NDP that ran last election.
Carney is the first PM to ever cobble together a majority through floor crossing. Power was gained with backroom deals, not the ballot box. Today I introduced Bill C-278 to require MPs earn voter consent before switching parties. If your reasons are valid, defend them to voters.
What’s being left out is that the entire population wants to die after being subject to repeated cruel and deadly button experiments.
If every person can be assigned the same probability of pressing red, what percentage should it be to maximize the relief of death?
Everyone in the world has to take a private vote by pressing a red or blue button. If more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone survives. If less than 50% of people press the blue button, only people who pressed the red button survive. Which button would you press?
I always hate this problem because the answers change depending on assumptions.
1. Is everyone pressing the button mentally capable and can make the decision without error?
2. Does everyone want to live?
Without those two details, you can’t treat it as an optimization problem.

@marissenmark Does anyone actually believe that any judge, now, or in the future is going to rule against private land owners?
For all the posturing, no judge is ever going to make a ruling that effectively undoes the existence of the country.
Why do so many grifters pretend they would?
@NDP You talk about misuse of personal data, and then immediately use something that sounds like a petition, but isn't, to trick people into joining a mailing list sign-up. With the relevant details buried in in the small print.
@NDP It's great that the NDP is doing this, but I think it's ridiculous they're using it to build a mailing list.

@vancolour@junonewscom@AaronGunn If we presume she’s trying to sign up former BC Liberal supporters, instead of trying to win over current BC Conservative supporters, she might be right.
@marissenmark@Harrisonrj_ I expect I’ll end up agreeing with most of his moderate polices, and some of his more extreme ones, but I immediately cringed at all the aggressive rhetoric that meant most people I know will never him consider him as a choice.
Reading literacy is so dead w people saying cancelled ‘might’ be about blake lively. Girl was the face of Gucci, did the flower movie and had her own brand of sours. Might as well name drop come on now
@TransLink How come real-time data is so inconsistent lately? I was waiting for a “scheduled” stop and no bus came. With real-time ones, I don’t have to waste time like that.
@jpooch21 Newsom is great at beating Republicans but he’s not a great leader. He’s been anti-worker, anti-homeless and anti-trans for too long already.
If he’s the only electable option, sure. But he’s not great.
@vig39@GaryMarcus Weird. I don't know why. Here's a screenshot. I never post these unless I can replicate. Using a name has the replication rate for this one at about 33%. But if you do the question "B's in blueberry?" on GPT-5 non-thinking, you'll get about a 60-70% replication rate.
