Unfortunately this is an alternate Batman, where Wayne Industries doesn't exist.

Although...I would love to see an issue where this Bats just goes to town on the health insurance industry. I wouldn't put it past them either if they were willing to publish this thinly veiled allegory for MAGA being Nazis.

It’s really not ambiguous. Anyone can fork Firefox, make any changes they want, and release it with different branding. This is the goal of open source.

The term you’re looking for is free software. By making this change Firefox is no longer respecting the freedom of their users. That’s the “F” in FOSS. It’s possible for Firefox to remain open source without being free software.

He’s already working with BC housing, and realistically he’s better off there. Housing is more within the provincial jurisdiction. But yeah I agree with the sentiment...fuck Robertson

Most of the world lives in cities - as high as 80% in Western countries - and that number is growing. You definitely don’t move to the city to get away from people, and it’s not because the housing is cheaper either, so we must conclude that this isn’t a concern for most people.

Another factor here is just how much space suburban sprawl takes up. Look up satellite images of how farmland has been eroded over the past few decades. By maximizing space in cities for people instead of cars, we can preserve our rural green areas, which better accommodates people like you who want to live away from others.

To add to this, I don't think the Carney polls are being factored into the 338 model, because they're "what if" polls, and don't reflect voter intentions today. If Carney wins we will probably see even more of a drop in the following weeks.

This from the guy who wears oversized cowboy hats and undersized t-shirts to cosplay as "rural".

There is lots more detail in the full news release link at the bottom of the page. It's going a bit over my head right now though.

Not only that, climate change is making it more French. We truly live in the worst timeline
