Use ISO-8601 date format: YYYY-MM-DD (Its way better!)

[–] CanadianCarl@sh.itjust.works 1 points 46 minutes ago (1 children)

I just assume DD-MM-YYYY when wrote like this. Because it is what most of the world uses.

[–] twopi@lemmy.ca 1 points 9 minutes ago* (last edited 8 minutes ago)

Which works out here because it's literally 03-03.

But ISO-8601 is an international standard, by the International Standards Organization, to remove this very confusion.

Its like the SI / metric system.

Aye! Down with PP!

Keep fighting! Fuck the cons! There is a literal fire underneath you, geographically and metaphorically speaking

It'd be cool if it was some party other than the Liberals that was getting the lift. Greens? NDP? Uh... That's about it.

We don’t have PR yet. When the NDP or any of the other β€œ3rd parties” gain big, it splits the left wing vote which results in a win for the conservatives.

For the 20 years I've lived in Canada, it's been the country of "best I can do is ..." πŸ₯Ή

Beats America, the country of "go fuck yourself, you poor bastard"

[–] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 hours ago

Any day. It's why I never had any desire to go work in the US.

If only the proportional rep thing hadn't been a damned lie.

We regret nothing, majority here we go!

Trump winning was the worst thing that could have happened to the Conservatives. Dealing with Trump's bullshit is the one thing that most people seem to agree that Trudeau and the Liberals handled well.

PP wanted his "carbon tax election", but just about no one is very concerned about that right now.

Winning power is usually what undoes fascists. Hopefully it makes somewhat less of a mess this time.

[–] Telorand@reddthat.com 26 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

Good luck, y'all. If Canada manages to avoid the global shift to the alt-right, it will be one of the few political bright spots in an otherwise dark future.

And they’ve got water

Don't get any ideas

Funny how building your whole platform around "not Trudeau" was short-sighted. Never could have seen that coming....

[–] tiefling@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

It's the same thing that happened in the US but in reverse. Democrats ignored their constituents and made their platform "more genocide" and "we're not Trump"

[–] Albbi@lemmy.ca 3 points 7 hours ago

I feel like their platform was "less genocide than Trump", but still genocide. Which wasn't very good either obviously.

[–] shittydwarf@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

In a strange way it's the best thing that could have happened here. PP would be gargling fascist hog if elected and it's plain to see

[–] Daelsky@lemmy.ca 6 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

The worst case scenario would have been an early election before the one in the US and be stuck right now with both Trump down south and PP here.

Yes! I was sweating bullets when Jagmeet announced an early end to the confidence agreement.

It sounds like it was always going to take a while for the non-confidence motion to pass, but I didn't realise that at first.

In a press conference just now, "tariff money must not be spent on relief, but be spent on tax cuts" for those people who will still have plenty of income despite tariffs.

Too bad both parties are working with profiteers to fuck up your healthcare system.
