The state was Utah, the governor quoted the following in his veto statement:

Here are the numbers that have most impacted my decision: 75,000, 4, 1, 86 and 56.

• 75,000 high school kids participating in high school sports in Utah.
• 4 transgender kids playing high school sports in Utah.
• 1 transgender student playing girls sports.
• 86% of trans youth reporting suicidality.
• 56% of trans youth having attempted suicide.

The veto was overridden.

Right, the party with the most seats won would get first shot at forming government.

If your assumption is that the Conservatives would win the next election with a majority, then they would be able to form government without needing to rely on any other party (like the Libs rely on the NDP now).

Since political parties in parliamentary democracies typically vote uniformly, a majority party is generally able to pass legislation regardless of the position of opposition parties, which is why I questioned the presumption of gridlock.

NDP +Libs outnumber them now, yes. I assumed by "Cons can grab majority" you meant a majority of seats following an election, no?

Cons can grab majority but will be gridlocked on every move

Genuine question, why the assumption of gridlock if the conservatives form government with a majority?

It doesn't appear to use either.

The MLS® HPI is based on the value home buyers assign to various housing attributes, which tend to evolve gradually over time.

I can't seem to find how they define value, or how they determine a home buyers interest in various housing attributes.

Since it's MLS own metric, I would take it with a grain of salt anyways.

Average home prices are from the CREA MLS® Home Price Index (HPI)

I was able to match the pricing data in the article to the "Composite" figures on the HPI website. The amounts include condos.

Thank you kind stranger!

edit: Wow, didn't expect this to blow up!!!

Don't forget blatant corruption and a refusal to be held to any reasonable code of ethics!

I firmly believe that if any other candidate, in a primary or general election, either republican or democrat, had said this, it would end their campaign.

We have become so accustomed to Trump saying outrageous bullshit, that this will be forgotten in less than a week, and most voters will never even hear about it.

In July, of an election year, in the US? Yes, that's the best you get.

Make a time machine, convince Biden to drop out 8-12 months ago, then you can have your open primary season.

Twitch disabled the account following the Jan. 6 riot on the US Capitol in 2021 due to “the current extraordinary circumstances and the President’s incendiary rhetoric” before issuing an indefinite suspension two weeks later, according to a Twitch spokesperson.

Guess we'll all just collectively forget about this now that's he's the Republican nominee again ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
