What do you mean, eventually? Outside of Québec with the Bloc, Canada is already for all-intents-and-purposes a two-party system. Most people I know more closely align with NDP or Green platforms. Most people I know still vote Liberal.
It continuously astounds me that the NDP and Greens don't make more noise about electoral reform.
I just noticed that the Beatles modified an animal's name to add a musical term (beat) whereas the Monkees did the opposite, removing "key" from monkey.
Harper isn't some more respectable, lost form of conservative from yesteryear. Because those don't actually exist. If Harper were running today instead of 20 years ago he would 100% go by the Trumpist playbook.
I've never had to deal with this, but my take is that you shouldn't feel bad for not offering up information, especially in a context where you don't necessarily feel safe to do so.
I wouldn't really consider this to be lying, either. Your bosses or coworkers don't have a right to know you're trans. Like, I don't share my spiritual beliefs with anyone at work, for example. That doesn't make me a liar. You're entitled to your privacy, even more so when revealing something could be harmful for you.
Best of luck navigating this, it sounds like a rather tricky situation to be in.
I had to know the context for this so I looked it up, it's from a marketing promo for the 1995 WWF WrestleMania arcade game. The whole video just screams 1990s.
The Liberal Party of Canada can hardly be called progressive, and I never implied as such. I never even mentioned the Liberals in my comment, I'm just talking about Conservatives here.
Conservatives don't give a fuck about the economy. Research shows time and time again that progressive ideas are positive for the economy (housing the homeless, socialized healthcare, public transit, education, just to name a few examples).
They don't care. Don't listen to Conservatives when they tell you their beliefs. They're full of shit. It always eventually boils down to "I want my in-group to have advantages over the out-group". They're not the party of "fiscal responsibility", they're the party of social hierarchies.
Oh wow I wish I lived somewhere where I could ride around seeing castle ruins, that sounds dope! The closest I've found are old abandoned hunting cabins.
Part of me gets where they're coming from, I think it's definitely a thing where some inexperienced cyclists on e-bikes ride dangerously at high speeds without having the cycling experience and technique to ride that fast.
However, just like I've had bad interactions with people on e-bikes, I've had bad interactions with roadies, people on BMX, cycle commuters, mountain bikers... I've also had super positive interactions with all of these groups. Generalizing e-bike riders as a whole based on the acts of a small number of people is silly and counter-productive. The more people ride bikes, the more cities have no choice but to accommodate them, which makes things better for everyone.
One of the first rides I did to test my setup before my first small cycle-tour was to the local reservoir! It's interesting to see the intersection between nature and human infrastructure.
There's apparently a plan for a rail-to-trail which would directly connect my city and the beach, which despite progressing at a snail's pace has me really excited! It would be along some rivers and creeks in the forest, which I always dig.
Currently, the options are either the highway (which I avoid unless at night because at least it has a shoulder) or the old route, which doesn't have shoulders but doesn't have too much traffic either, and most drivers are respectful. It's a quite gorgeous ride too, going through fields and farmland. No lights and no shoulder are why I opt for the highway at night, though!
