Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

Polievre wants to defund the CBC, build more oil pipelines and continue the expansion of city suburbs. No way I'd vote for that guy. The only good thing I've seen him say is that there should be more competition in the telecommunications market, but it does not take much effort to point out a problem.
There are so many issues with a Con government--like not even admitting climate change exists, that's not great--and you mentioned many others.
I'm honestly tired of women bailing us out in these elections though, so I cannot imagine what it's like for them to have to keep doing it.
That said, when men were losing their jobs they got told "learn to code" by callous and shitty journalists and women's rights activists. It's not hard to see why men are abandoning liberal governments that blame them for everything even while they are experiencing statistically worse outcomes with each successive generation.
The solution is so simple that you have to be abandoning it on purpose: promise men educations and to help them get employed, and you'll get all the support you need.
Where on earth has this happened?
So tell the men in charge to do that. We don't live in a matriarchy, women fight the exact same fights you mentioned. You think women don't get laid off just like men do? I've been in games for almost 20 years and I can tell you it's not any better for the women in it.
I will say, we'd never be in this mess if we didn't have the Twitter crowd claiming Masculinity and Whiteness are sins in and of themselves.
Tell a white man he's evil cause he's a white man, and he'll gladly side with someone who admits to being racist.
I mean yes but it's more than just feelings and hateful people on Twitter:
And when you talk about this as a man you get exactly the kind of replies I got, or worse. This is how you drive men right.
Pretty much.
He practically wants to ban porn too. He's not a very nice fellow.
Forget the porn, it's the absolute insanity of forcing (and allowing) all these different web services to get and maintain our identities. Huge privacy breach from people preaching that government overreach is bad... This hypocrisy gets old fast.
The Conservatives didn't do anything last time about this despite it being a big discussion point, and they had years of majority to do it. I don't see them changing tack since they don't seem too bothered by any of Canada's other oligarchs.
All that said, the Liberals barely took a step forward on this either, right before taking a huge step back allowing Rogers and Shaw to merge. These damned neoliberals just refuse to help anyone.
