Just dropped the Fed Tax on gas for the summer. 10 cents a liter. Starts April 20.
Not bad for a day one thing.

Yeah, worse shit to happen, this is a "hey look see, I'm nice" kinda move.
Doesnt matter if its conservative, liberals, or god. We are all screwed with the neverending wars and mass immigration.
Sure, Carney has a majority, but PP got to be on Joe Rogan!
Says someone who obviously voted for the party who blames everything on the Liberals.
Well... who is the party in power that has made life less affordable over the last decade? I dont vote anymore since they are all corrupt or inept
Mass immigration is quite often caused by wars.
And who causes most of those wars?
Iran knows
Not at the moment! But since you raise the topic of
... I did learn about, study and subsequently prepared for and took a few trips on mushrooms a couple years ago. Not for recreational purposes as I rarely drink, seldom use cannabis, never smoked, tried cocaine or other hard drugs, nor indulge in other intoxicants. In fact, I used to think 'shrooms, LSD and other psychidelics were also very harmful drugs. (Mushrooms and LSD are the VERY bottom of the scale of harms of any and all drugs. Alcohol and smoking being near the top.)
I did mushrooms after reading and researching them for a couple years for the specific intention of re-invigorating my creativity AND to break free of the ruts in my thinking that inevitably develop once you've got a lot of experience in life and get into the late 50's.
It was likely one of the best experiences and decisions of my life. In fact, I'm thinking of planning for another trip sooner rather than later.
From my experience and what I've read about the rut you are in in your way of thinking (perfect examples of which I've posted above) you might want to consider Mushrooms yourself! Seriously. Not trying to be an asshole. (Like I was trying to be in calling you an "outsider" in intelligent discussions!
)Here's a simple AI summary of my question "does psylocybin open your mind to new thinking and neural pathways?"
Note that the answers refer to peer reviewed research published in respected mainstream organizations. I have italicized certain words in reference to change habitual ruts in thinking... like "Libstards always bad"
"How Psilocybin Affects the Brain:
- Neural Plasticity (Rewiring): Research in mice has demonstrated that a single dose of psilocybin increases the number and size of dendritic spines, with these changes lasting for at least a month.
- Reduced Network Rigidity: Psilocybin desynchronizes brain networks, effectively dissolving distinctions between them and allowing for greater functional connectivity (FC). This allows the brain to "reset" or break free from habitual negative thinking patterns, similar to leaving a well-worn rut while skiing.
- Reopening Critical Windows: Studies suggest psilocybin temporarily reopens "critical windows" of plasticity, making the adult brain more malleable and receptive to new social and environmental cues, similar to the learning capacity of a child.
- Increased Cognitive Flexibility: Studies have found that psilocybin significantly increases self-reported cognitive flexibility, which is the ability to shift thinking patterns.

These structural changes in the brain correlate to increased cognitive flexibility, greater "openness" in personality, and profound therapeutic benefits for conditions like depression and addiction, which are often associated with rigid, "stuck" thought patterns.

I disagree with you. The reason for the result is simple - the NDP imploded. Their vote share went from just under 18% in 2021 to 6.3% in 2025.
Polievre got 41.3% of the vote. That was higher than any Conservative leader since Mulroney in 1988.
Jughead Jagmeet...I like the ring of that. Of course I'll get accused of racism by our leftie brethren since Jagmeet wears a turban.
Interesting thought, but a strong party would not need to depend on a vote split to win Parliament. Not sure who's in their roster of MPs but maybe there is a future star in there somewhere. I'm the Cdn version of a RINO that wants to lean their way.
In our electoral system 41.3% of the popular vote was almost a guarantee of a majority government. That all changed when the 3rd party tanked.
You are correct the CPC does not do very well with urban voters who tend to be more liberal by nature. That is the case in any country's political spectrum. But they risk losing their conservative base if they start trying to pander for that vote. its a catch 22.
It was a stark choice election. Liberals got 43% + and turnout was huge, almost 70%. Both major parties improved their vote share. Liberals by 11% Cons by 8%
It was close. No doubt. But as always I saw the cross tab that said Carney beat PP by 10 points on who voters preferred as PM.
Which is the core point. PP has imo, barring a total fuck up by Carney, reached his ceiling. Which means he gets one more kick at the can, likely in 1-2 years.
