Why do you guys make less than the dishwasher Guy? Makes no sense to me. -

I'm going to quietly wait for you to admit you were wrong on this statement. -

Libs Housing Plan Pretty Good
Michael Hardner replied to herbie's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
I get you now. I made the bad assumption that Sweden had similar population to ours. I didn't realize they were much smaller. Abandoning platitudes and useless habits is a must. Furthermore, when a politician makes a promise of a program it needs to be accompanied with a tracking dashboard audited by a third party, or the auditor general. That way we can follow up. People are getting much better at tracking things via numbers, however, there's no objective truth yet so you'll get clashing statistics. Also governments have to start admitting mistakes, and we have to forgive mistakes when they try something new. You get somewhere by failing a few times than succeeding. -
Liberal Party Takes Lead in Polls
Michael Hardner replied to TreeBeard's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
Exactly. What is there to be learned ? One party has a core of motivated and engaged followers, even if it's a smaller number. -

Well it's difficult to understand the appeal of Carney, the most boring politician we have seen in a country of boring politicians, we should note that Poilievre was only ever popular in relation to Trudeau. His numbers were never good, in terms of likability. As for this West versus East thing... We are behaving as a nation more than we have in years, in the face of the tariff threat. Separatism in Quebec is down. And based on 338 seat projections, the Liberals are healthy... Tied with the CPC in Manitoba, and ahead in BC based on seat counts. Poilievre is a Rebel, and Canada is culturally loyalist which is the opposite... The USA was formed by rebels, we defer to authority. Carney is an insufferably dull authority on the economy.

The trade war is back on

American. Must boycott. -
We haven't talked about response. So how can you say I'm not interested in negotiating or compromising? And I don't think interpretation should be subject to negotiation. Facts point to a conclusion, what would be the role of negotiation in that exchange? "The thermometer shows it's -20. I interpret that to mean that I would feel cold if I went out" "Let's compromise on this" ?

Well ok, but an encyclopedia entry is not authoritative when it comes to providing the complete evidence of climate change caused by humans. Furthermore, you're nitpicking one word in that article and trying to work backwards to say that we can include there's not enough evidence. I would say look at summaries of the scientific papers, how often they're cited by other papers etc. There is enough evidence, though ,and as I mentioned, there are no other factors that add up to causing climate change on the level that it's happened other than human produced CO2
