On August 15, Justin Trudeau called a snap election with the hope of regaining a Liberal majority. His confidence in his ability to do so was based on the fact that most Canadians think the government has handled the pandemic well. However, polling has indicated that his edge in this is actually razor thin over the Conservative Party and the largest gains by far were to the NDP and PPC.

Holy shit this is so fucking dumb. Nobody gives a shit about this election, Justin, why the hell did you do this? You clearly just wanted to try and make use of that post-pandemic popularity bump that a number of governments seem to be getting, following actually handling the pandemic competently, but you didn't do a god damned thing, did you Justin? The only people that actually did anything were the NDP, and you thought? YOU THOUGHT? We saw through that shit, dumbass, and now you actually stand a chance to lose your plurality to the fucking Conservatives.

Question for the day here. One winner and sorry for getting back late, everyone :rat-salute: @biden.

Previous answer

butcher is 48, the baker is 42 and the candlestick maker is 60

Two diesel ships

Two diesel ships leave a pier simultaneously, the Stepan Razin downstream and the Timiryazev upstream, with the same motive force. As they leave, a life buoy falls off the Stepan Razin and floats downstream. An hour later both ships are ordered to reverse course. Will the Stepan Razin's crew be able to pick up the buoy before the ships meet?

Like usual have fun :soviet-heart: and remember to dm @Wmill the answer.

Seriously though, this election is so dumb. :kkkanada:

      I swear I wasn't ignoring your reply I just thought you'd go back and edit it and I didn't want to rush you :crush:

      And yeah we should do it there! When it was more active there were some really great posts. Maybe the spider hags can encourage more activity :sicko-fem: :sicko-fem:

        good news though, my friend serendipitously sent me a meme of Marx using a spinning wheel so we'll have a perfect image for the spinning thread! also, do you know who we need to talk to for proposing our mega? would that be the c/diy mods?

        hope you're having a good week! :meow-hug:

          Oh no, I hope things get better soon :meow-hug: if you feel comfortable im always here for my fellow spider hag :cat-trans:

          I'll edit this comment in a little bit with the link to the megathread post, we'll also need to chose a date for it. Preferably a few days before we do it so I can prepare lol

          That pictures sounds great! Do you want to make the actual post and then I'll send you my writing and links to the resources? I can also make it if you want to send me the picture. I dont think we need to talk to the mods but I can ask one of them.
