Yeah, party leadership is way more at fault that individual candidates but as the Eglinton-Lawrence case showed, they do have the power to at least minimize vote splitting. I'm very disappointed that the Greens put up 124 candidates when they only had good chance to win 3 seats. Why not focus your effort on these instead of spoiling or helping to spoil 11 ridings!?

I think these two separate objectives are good, but at the end of the day subscriber count is just a number. The real objective is having an actual representative democracy in Canada at all levels of government.

Even with 261 subs, posts from this comm can reach "all" (that's how I found this place). That's the way to reach people who aren't too engaged with this topic. We just need to have a critical mass of people upvoting.

Good luck voting fellow Ontarians!!! May the 45th Parliament be proportionally representative!

With that kind of money Doug Ford can build almost 4% of the tunnel under the 401.

I watched.

Not overly informative.

And Ontario (like Canada) is not really democratic because of first-past-the-post, so I will vote strategically.

Those texts may not be in compliance with CRIC standards, but do we know for sure it's a scam? I got this message and respnded, the followup was:

Thank you ... could we please get your postal code for statistical purposes so we know approximately where you live?

To which I responded with a nearby postal code (not my actual one). Then the response was "Thank you for completing the survey".

I downloaded the 70B model and tried politically "naughty" questions. Even without the chatbot guardrails, it mostly says things that the CCP would approve of, but you could trick it to be more honest (not super easy!). One interesting thing is that while it usually spews this blocks, for some politically sensitive questions ("is Taiwan part of China") it just spits the answer.

I'm good with one large meal a day.

I'm so used to it I never realized it's unusual.

No, it's not normal getting a fax in 2025.

That's actually interesting!
