I don't disagree with you. Again, it feels to me like the natural motivation here to dig all this stuff up will fall on a journalist with a story to tell and books to sell, not on the police. Like, sure, the police should come up with a bunch of resources to assign to task forces, etc., but given how much negative press they're getting for mishandling the Toronto murders I would imagine they are going to see all those theoretically connected cold cases as further embarrassment waiting to be unearthed.

For this family day long weekend, LCBO presents:



No-name beer for $6. Someone braver than me give it a try - I tried Cool Beer and didn't enjoy it.

no name is contracted by loblaws, their stuff is usually pretty good.

There's no chance it's actually any good but it's probably not worse than generic Coors/Bud/Labatt/Molson etc.

I remember when Dave Nichols put out a line of beers after he stopped being Dave from President's Choice in the early 90s



Bought them at least a couple of times. Can't remember if they were any good, but I imagine no worse than Labatt and Molson.

True story, the best tasting non alcoholic beer on the market is PC blonde, it is an overwhelming winner on taste panels for initial taste as well as for rebuying cases (most non alcoholic beers suffer from being disgusting after a couple sips.)

I actually buy it from time to time. I find it gives me extra energy and tastes pretty good

I drink that. Great in the summer after doing some work in the yard when you want a beer but don't want to start drinking. I'll even have it with a curry for dinner.

From the AOC thread Yeah, I was referring to the Conservatives in power in Ontario (Rob Ford's bro). Federal election coming up soon. The Libs are mired in scandal as they block a public inquiry into a political interference scandal, and the left wing party hasn't even managed to get the leader they elected in 2017 a seat in Parliament yet (he finally got himself in a byelection that he should win tomorrow). The conservatives had the runner-up in their leadership convention break from the party 6 months-ish ago to start a new populist righter wing party that is now the darling of the white supremacists, so that might split some conservative votes away from the main conservative party.

Thanks gregorio/mosdef.... I'll keep reading here for future info ��

Right on cue, an article about Canada's new far right party https://www.thestar.com/politics/fed...aby-south.html

Maxime is more run of the mill college dorm room libertarian than "far right". When I hear "far right" it makes me think more of the expressly hateful and fascist governments that run backwards countries with uneducated populations like Hungary or the United States.

Sure, Maxime may not be far right (though he's courting people who don't find the Conservatives right enough and certainly using far right rhetoric), but many of the people who support his PPC party are https://www.thestar.com/politics/fed...t-problem.html

Andrew Scherer was a horrible choice by the conservatives. They did not pick the guy that could beat Justin. The way Justin is going I would have said he is not beatable a year ago but with the SNC scandal. He is ripe.

I think Pierre Poilievre was a better choice

Skippy may be the only person people would’ve taken less seriously as leader than Scheer.

Do you think Scheer was a good choice? Nothing more than a junior Harper

Really, there were very few good options, the whole CPC leadership race was a clown show. All I knew about Scheer was that he was an unremarkable Speaker and was marketing himself as Harper Lite, and I couldn’t understand why anyone would think that was a good idea for the party. He wasn’t even the best of a bad lot, it was more right place, right time. And it’s only gotten worse since then.

I don't even know where things stand these days. I assume Trudeau is down because of the SNC-Lavalin debacle, but Cons not able to take full advantage b/c nobody cares about Scheer, and NDP is just floundering around somewhere towards the bottom b/c it's hard to remember they even they exist at the Federal level without a leader in parliament, though I doubt their fortunes change at all if Singh gets elected and maybe their best shot is if he loses and resigns and they can run a new convention leading up to the federal election campaign.

Ok, here we go. I guess this is like the 538 aggregator https://www.calculatedpolitics.com/p...nada-election/







Election is October 21, 2019 for Americans playing at home

I wonder if we could see a surge by the Greens. The climate seems to be right for it (pardon the pun).

I wonder how much Greens take from NDP, and if they take a similar amount from Libs. They used to be to the right of NDP on non-environmental issues, but now the two are similar enough that it's a shame they're going to split the left vote indefinitely.

Green Party 7.3% -> 3 seats (<1% of all seats)
Bloc Quebecois 4.8% -> 12 seats


seems fair

Bloc only fields candidates in Quebec so it's 4.8% of a total population of 8.4 mil vs Greens who run country wide and get 7.3% of a total population of 36 mil. Trudeau's big campaign promise was electoral reform to move from a first-past-the-post system to proportional representation or a ranked ballot. Once he got elected he was like "lol j/k not gonna happen, suck it."

More accurately, his platform was Which, once he became elected, switched to

By elections today.

NDP lose a seat in Quebec to the Liberals.

NDP leader Singh wins in South Burnaby

Cons hold on in York

NDP are screwed next federal election. I could see them easily losing 1/2 their seats.
