Agreed. In fact, provincial elections are more important than federal ones when it comes to internal matters despite the lack of attention provincial policies get.
The more local an election is, the more it matters to you on a personal level, though Ford is an exception since he’s hyper-focused on ruining Toronto, so he’s way more important than the mayor considering how much he steps right over the city’s own leadership.
My issue is the use of the word within the context of the matter. Whether the Liberals hold any sort of lead, or if it means much in the long term doesn’t really matter. What’s important in this article is the changes that’s shown up over the last week or so with all their numbers.
For the first time this election, the Liberals have taken popularity from the Conservatives, and by a large amount according to these polls. But the article title is basically trying to put emphasis and downplay the fact that they have a lead at all. The amount is tiny, yes, and from a technical standpoint is certainly is insignificant, but looking at the charts, what’s important is the meteoric rise they’ve achieved in the polls.
While I’m not really a fan of the Liberals (they’re more like my least currently hated party than anything), this title feels like it’s seriously slanted by trying to downplay and ignore what’s actually significant. It’s like how Kim Jon Un was “elected by the majority” sort of thing, though maybe that comparison isn’t charitable either.
I explicitly stated that I don’t approve of Israel’s actions. I think both sides are in the wrong, and neither deserve support due to their actions.
An “insignificant lead” huh? Not exactly the sort of words I would use considering that the Liberals went from “zero chance of winning” to “barely the most likely to win”. Frankly, just getting to this point is a massive upset to the degree that PP should resign on the spot just so the Cons have any sort of chance of not being the #1 cause for a new majority Liberal government.
While anything is possible and this can change on a dime, frankly speaking Carney is basically the only leader right now that has both integrity and vision. None of his competitors have either and it is well known that they don’t. How can anybody vote for someone who has no idea what they want for the future of Canada aside from just being it’s leader?
It’s quite hard to call them anti-terrorists when they let Hamas control their open-air prison. And I mean, how isn’t firing rockets at your neighbours’ population centres anything but terrorism?
While I’m not a fan of the fact that so much of Palestine is pro-terrorism, going as far as arresting someone for protesting for the lives of a population in an abuse of authority. Suppressing dissenting opinions in itself is a direct attack on the freedom of expression.
Frankly, alcohol is expensive and a hassle to bother with, and that’s before the fact that my body doesn’t handle it very well lately.
Sure, it tastes alright, but that’s just alright compared to a nice cup of coffee, tea, or juice, which is all easier and faster to get, you can drink it anywhere and as much as you want, and generally tastes better. Why wouldn’t it taste better when most recent alcoholic beverages are trying to copy the flavour of normally non-alcoholic drinks?
Modern society is generations away from being under the pressures of hard, painful, and dreary work where you need a depressant to forget how difficult your work day has been, and the current youth’s not only forgotten why people needed such drinks in the past, but are even detached from the customs to drink such even from a traditional standpoint.
Not to mention that they have weed and vapes if they want to feel like some “badass deviants” as well.
The average person no longer feels the pressure to rely on alcohol they did in the past, not personal or peer in variety, so it’s no wonder that sobriety is becoming the norm.
