  • The Canadian Future Party (CFP; French: Parti avenir canadien, PAC) is a minor federal political party in Canada that was officially launched in 2024. It describes itself as being politically centrist, campaigning on a fiscally conservative and socially liberal platform.

    That made me audibly groan, along with this:

    • Allowing the private sector to take a larger role in society with government oversight
    • Simplifying the tax code to close loopholes in cooperation with the provinces and territories
    • Ending corporate subsidies and supply management where a return on investment cannot be delivered

    I’m happy to be proven wrong, but this seems like a recipe for laissez-faire capitalism that will eventually end in a collective shrug, a few golden parachutes, and a recession. Canada does not need more centrism.





  • The bar isn’t really that high if you look at how cases that are solved actually got solved (deductive reasoning, forensic analysis, trust from the community including the marginalized, and focused manpower from people who give a fuck).

    It’s just that the people who want to be cops are more interested in wearing a fancy uniform, using weapons, harassing poor people, and beating their spouses than actually doing real work that involves brain power. Not to mention office politics.

    Magic omniscience would probably help though. They should work on that after solving the “violent and stupid” issue. ;)
