Yes, we narrowly avoided going down the Trump route this time, but I don’t find this picture particularly encouraging (NDP, Green and BQ are the three most progressive parties):

It’s not straightforward to understand that, since this is a chart of seats not votes, and you can get weird effects with first-past-the-post and strategic voting, but it certainly looks like the electorate is moving rightwards at the expense of progressives.
Trump’s making the White House as ugly as the people within it.
No motive has been given, although police have said they are “confident” it was not an act of terrorism.
I wonder what makes them confident of that. It certainly resembles a terrorist attack.
Someone who used to wear an onion on his belt, which was the style at the time.
Kidney failure as a consequence of the school bus crash.
She was recently beaten so badly by her husband that her life was in danger, and then she was hit by a schoolbus. Things can’t have been going well for her.

I wonder how much his actions were about believing in the Russian cause and how much about rebelling against his CIA parents.
The UK is likely to leap to the right next time they have an election too. They had a decade and a half of terrible right-wing government then voted for something else, but what they got was terrible centrist government and they’re frustrated. The centrists expelled all the left politicians from the Labour Party, so now the choice in England at least is Labour’s centrism-with-bigotry, incompetent Conservative, neo-fascist, another fairly directionless centrist party that appears to be led by a clown, or Green. Because people are angry, it’s likely to flip far right.
I think at this point it’s “so it continues.”
When ICE are kidnapping people and trafficking them to foreign concentration camps without trial, it’s a judge’s responsibility to defend the rule of law and protect people from being unconstitutionally disappeared. This is Trump’s Gestapo trying to intimidate the judiciary for taking actual action they can’t just ignore.
Canadians need to end his career first.
How dare he rock the boat when the current bunch are doing so well.
Well, we all expected they’d just sell everything at a loss, or get Mexico to pay, or something.
Canada needs to do the same, and not elect the guy who promises to do everything Trump is doing.
I think they mean it should remind you which other devices you have linked, so that if you’re messaging on your phone you are reminded that your computer will also get a copy of the chat unless you unlink it.
That would be a helpful addition, and it sounds like it could be easily done.
And I’m still not sure whether you mean the “your gender is the sex you’re born with” people or the “trans women are women” people.
Erm, people still work at 50.
Certainly there’s a lot of strategic voting going on. But you don’t see the Liberal (centrist) seat count increasing as the NDP goes down: the gains are all with the Conservatives. If it were a matter of progressives deciding to just consolidate with Liberals, you’d expect to see the Liberal seat count go up as the smaller parties went down. To me this suggests either that some people are flipping directly from left to right or that there is a general rightwards drift, with right-wing Liberals going over to Conservatives and left-wing strategic voters filling in some of the gap they leave for the Liberals. In either case it’s concerning that when the Conservatives fielded their most far-right leader so far, their share of the seats went up.
