That's not the cost of running the election, that's the parties spending on the election, correct? So those funds were never going to go into infrastructure. I definitely agree we overspend on politics for politics sake, but please don't conflate political party funds with government funds.

Well, the judge can order the arrest of those people. We shall soon find out whether law enforcement will actual follow those orders...
It’s like when you sell a car, once the title is signed over and you get the money the deal is done.
No, if you want a car to be your analogy, it's more like a rental. The US is actively paying El Salvador to detain them. They can end that deal whenever they want.
Technically that list is blank as we are in an election period, so we have 0 MPs therefore 0 MPs on Mastodon or Bluesky.

EDIT: I can't find the one that said 20%. It was on a Lemmy post a few weeks back. However, it said 80% were strongly opposed, and didn't break down the other responses. The article just assumed the other responses weren't opposed.
Bondi signals criminal probe into Signal chat is unlikely, despite long history of similar inquiries
I know that the BIG issue everyone's worried about is they obviously did something (actually, quite a few things) wrong and aren't being held to account.
However, the other thing I can't let go of is the fact that they complain about Clinton & Biden, but then refuse to investigate this situation. Whatever you feel about those 2 (personally I think they were handled properly), those situations were investigated and they were cleared. Simply declaring this matter closed without even going through the motion to investigate just increases the level of sketchiness.
Touché!
Go look for the source if that river.
Colorado? One of the bluest states in the USA?
If you asked the Canadians if they want to become US state I guarantee it would be lower
Any of the polls I've seen put it 13-20%.
Did I really need to put in a /s on comment on a meme post??
This is a little more nuances when you also note that the population increased by 15% from 2015 to 2024. Whether or not you think this population increase is a good idea (I personally do support it for full disclosure), fact show it was driven by immigration, and I think we can all agree new residents require more services that existing ones. Given these facts, did Canada require 40% more staff to keep the same level of service?
