Water? You mean Pee spread over a russian hooker*?

Out of 10 pro abortion state measures 7 passed (one still undecided i think), and only 1 anti abortion measure passed.

First game that has convinced me to setup my vr at my new house.

If it was it's been reverted:

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "voting is done" but I think our parliamentary system is somewhat more resistant to systemic fuckery than the US system.

I don't mean we are invincible, but 1 conservative term is not going to end democracy in Canada.

that'd be a huge pull, but if it were to happen we'd probably end up with a very exciting 5-way split which would be quite exciting (and probably extremely unstable). if ABC voters can heavily coordinate AND PP says a bunch of quiet stuff out loud then it could happen.

"If it's important someone will tell me about it" is such an infuriatingly common position.

A certainty.

Liberals have been in power for a decade at this point (5th-6th longest term in history depending on when exactly the election happens), and have picked up a ton of baggage, from corruption scandals (some more manufactured than others) , oil pipeline flubs that left everyone mad, blackface scandal, political interference, broken promises of electoral reform, even a divorce. They currently hang on to an extremely weak minority with the NDP. The only reason there hasn't already been an election is that the NDP is too broke to put up a real fight.

Anyone right of centre will literally foam at the mouth at the mention of Trudeau, anyone left of centre is disappointed and disinterested. The NDP is likely to pick up seats, but they have never held power and the current leader is seen as pretty weak, they don't stand a good chance of gaining power.

the conservative party is polling with a 20point lead right now, look at this map. Furthermore they have been taking a hard right turn over the last few years to avoid losing out to a far-right party that has emerged, the new leader poilievre is a populist and the furthest right I have ever seen a viable Canadian candidate. He's also french speaking, which has traditionally been a strength of the liberals and weakness of the CPC. He is actively campaigning on reducing trans folks (and especially trans children) access to healthcare, ending the carbon tax, reducing immigration and has been dog whistling hard about restricting abortion.

The question is not If he takes power, but rather how quickly we can rebuild left wing power and how much can we mitigate the damage. Personally I hope Greens pick up a few seats, liberals get their shit together within a year and no-confidence Mr.PP. He mostly won't be winning because he's popular but rather his opponents are politically radioactive.

Form an in person community. Focus on fun, then slowly start integrating shared political activism. Use the experience from this to enter local government.

I don't think you can start with prison reform.

You can't rehabilitate someone who is stealing out of necessity or because they are mentally unwell. Have to start with providing UBI and universal Healthcare (including and especially mental health and addiction rehab). Probably also should solve homelessness and provide cheap educational options too.

Once that's in start improving prisons, make them not slums, provide some ways to keep up with the times (an excon with no concept of the internet is not going to be functional in today's society) and provide job programs and some way of protecting excons from excessive discrimination. The number one metric to measure the success of a prison should be the recitivism rate.

Now maybe after all this is done there's a few people who cannot be classified as insane and are deadset on committing violent crimes. I will point out that a lot of organized crime would fall apart when there isn't a fresh supply of disenfranchised people to exploit at the bottom and a lot of white collar crime does not need full exclusion from society more than exclusion from the system they were exploiting.thise few remaining murders and terrorists can go be in prison.

Tldr: to fix prisons you must first fix society.

It has a real ending, Season 3 ends in away that would make if difficult (but not impossible) to continue the show.

I really enjoyed "Travellers" a 3 season showcase/Netflix time travel show where time travellers possess the bodies of people right before they are going to die and try to stop the apocalypse.
