Maybe now the NDP will more seriously consider ranked choice voting.

If you knew the younger Elon, it goes back way further than that — talk to the people who started PayPal about how Elon supposedly started PayPal….

It costs tax dollars to secure the tax dollars.

To be fair, he probably doesn’t. People usually don’t admit to being in a cult until they’re well out of it, because they’re unable to see how cult hallmarks apply to their group.

I used to work for a company that converted coin-based parking meters to contactless card payment. And I completely agree.

Payment by card/app saves the companies a ton of money because they don’t have to handle cash — the guy going around is now just a fact checker and the automated systems handle the cash.

Previously, some cash was “lost” at each touch point (human handling the cash) in the chain; now this is replaced by higher fees, and a percentage going to fintech executives directly.

I moved to Telus when Rogers bought Shaw and screwed up my billing plan, and were unwilling to be competitive.

Both Rogers and Telus have capped plans and more expensive “unlimited” plans.

That means 59% disagree?

That’s sad and shameful.

Also weird that it’s normal to both Tucker and his audience.

That wouldn’t be a solution; Fred Jr or Robert would have ended up filling Donnie’s shoes, and we’d likely be in the same position today.

At this point, it’s about more than just Trump, just like WWII was about more than just Hitler.
