If you don't think she has a serious chance to win, then I'm not sure I understand what the complaint is here. What "harm" are they causing?

At the end of the day what does LBC stand for if they’re undermining legitimate independent candidates?

The stand for electoral reform (and against the first-past-the-post voting system).

If they're a serious contender, then it shouldn't matter how many people are on the ballot; their supporters will be voting for them by name.

Just like the LBC didn't affect the end result in Carlton, it won't make a huge difference here either.

Can you define "non exploitation"?

My understanding is that leather is a waste byproduct of the meat industry, so much in the same way that gas is from dinosaurs that are already dead, the cows that provide leather are "already dead" due to their use as meat.

So in that sense, it seems like leather is the more ecological choice, though not knowing your definition of exploitation, it may or may not be exploitative. I certainly wouldn't consider it vegan though.

But if we also include all the times that he didn't kill Hitler, then he actually killed two thirds of a Hitler

Despite these options not being mutually exclusive, I think I would be in the 17.2%. I'm not buying US booze now, but I wasn't buying it before either.

Mostly this survey is pretty bad, and I don't think we can make any good conclusions from the results.

The left seems awfully worried about home values

Why do you think it's the left that's worried about home values?

I live in Canada. I used to visit the States probably every other year. Then Trump was elected in 2016, and I stopped going. Then covid happened, so I figured I'd wait a bit longer. And now it'll be another 3 years until I even consider it, but that largely depends on what happens in that time span. It's not out of the question to just never visit again. There are plenty of other places in the world that I haven't seen yet.

There's a good chance that many or all of these cases are in the Mennonite community.

That's not an explanation of why he should be barred from office.

He's Catholic, but he's not trying to make Canada Catholic. Trudeau and Poilievre are also Catholic. In fact, every single PM of Canada has been either Catholic or Protestant.

Sue them for what? They are fully within their rights to run anti-abortion ads and reject pro-choice ads.

when he says that trump wouldn’t win election without him, I wish people would respond that he is full of bullshit and trump alone would win anyway, pushing him to say more.

I believe that Trump may not have won without him. He weaponized twitter to push misinformation against the Dems and in favour of Trump. I don't know if the result of that can be quantified in such a way that we'd know for sure whether it changed the outcome, but it certainly had an impact.
