there's more nuance than that. If AOC support is coupled with heavy (and popular) DSA representation in both chambers she may actually stand a chance. So the focus right now should be elsewhere which is not to say AOC endorsement should seize, but that for that to become reality a lot of things have to fall into place. Also, just as Bernie's "failed" candidacy did AOC challenge will force DNC to acknowledge it's leftmost side and incorporate it's agenda.

Short-time thinking on Eby (and NDP) part. They toyed with proportional representation, they should've stuck to their remaining 2yr mandate, get proportional representation and save us all the embarrassment. Also BC NDPs leaned so far right they were past 2000's Liberals to the right... so I guess it's time for them, like for Dems down south to do some soul searching and find their roots.

am I the only conspiracy theorist here thinking Eby intentionally given BC to Cons when sh#t flies at high velocity towards the fan? This is such a blatant mistake that I refuse to believe it was an accident. Any careful polling would've shown the outcome WITHOUT election. So the only reasonable explanation it was rigged for the outcome. There are several explosive issues in a pipeline (pun intended) that Eby likely wasn't looking forward to solve.

rerun of Chile

Lake Ontario, along with other lakes touches multiple countries... Google had no problem there 😉. In reality Americans are free to use whatever names they feel like for anything in the world, just like with the empirial measurement system but don't count on others to know WTF you talk about when you open your mouth.

Can't read entire article, but at risk of repeating what may have been stated in article I would still like to mention that Business School is not Economics science. HOWEVER Economics science turned into a dogmatic religion. So while as such science is valuable, modern Economics is utter garbage and any progressive thought is always banished from the field. Imagine physics or mathematics doing that, or even computing? So the question should be not about shutting down but about restructure and reform. What governments need to do is to employ those rare progressive economists who actually survived institutional "pecking" and make them mainstream by adopting their policies. We need economists but not the kind produced by modern schools of business.

one caveat: I was talking about Canada where those things are not so deep-rooted

While I dislike what those individuals stand for, their attitude and their ignorance, I do not think violence towards them will change things for better but rather aggravate things.

One has to look at the root of the problem. Why are they angry etc.? Fact that we have vast economic disparity within our society breeds this kind of behavior. When resources are plenty and everyone gets their fair share and doesn't need to live loan-to-loan people don't usually care about exclusion of others (well, there are always zealots with loose screws) and those movements to not gain traction. Look at fascism in last century: it has risen on the back of economic collapse of society when it became easy to accept "you can't eat because he took your food" kind of messaging.

Bottom line to stamp out those thugs we need to change our society drastically with a sharp turn left but we're keep on veering to the right with each election, which will end up in violence one way or another. Someone however has to be focused on the target though: political and economic system in Canada is broken and needs to be rebuilt, until then we will be miserable and thugs will proliferate

even 10 years ago I'd side with students as there was no imminent danger to necessitate military service. Today, however, is a different story: russia is unpredictable and war in Ukraine can spill over into the rest of Europe (just watch russian TV with calls to reduce Berlin to ashes, etc.). China is flexing it's muscle and US on on the colony snatching spree itself. At this point Sovereignty lasts as long as you have sufficient armed forces to back it up.

consider yourself lucky then

like leading us the wrong way. Or completely ignoring existence oh our house.

I'm old enough to remember them having "don't be evil" written in big letters on their campus...
