Homophobia is more important to idiots than saving lives.

the city of Providence, Rhode Island. She sued the city after it denied her an accidental disability pension for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) she developed in response to years of homophobic discrimination she faced while working for the city’s fire department.

Her initial discrimination lawsuit concluded in 2016, with a jury awarding her $806,000. The city appealed the decision and lost.

This month, a jury unanimously sided with Franchina and awarded her $1.75 million. With interest and legal fees, the total award may reach $4 to $5 million.

“That’s more than double what the city would have paid if they just granted her the accidental disability retirement in the first place,” Martin said.

Wasting millions of dollars to defend garbage behaviour… instead of just fixing the core of the issue in the first place before it escalated so far.

I completely agree the liberals wanted all the seats for themselves while acting like they deserve 100% of the power with only 42% of the vote while the smaller parties pulled out of some to avoid splitting the vote.

In a better world the liberals and conservatives would only receive 49% of the vote at most so they're forced to stop doing the bidding of corporations and oligarchs without question.

People say location doesn't matter but it actually does. I'm so happy for your coworker!

No, that's just the nature of supply and confidence agreements where they break up slightly earlier than 4 years because the parties have to distinguish themselves before campaigning, you can thank the obsolete first-past-the-post for that. Also the Liberal-NDP supply and confidence lasted for 3 years, that's pretty stable and we got lots of progressive policy because of it.

Yes, we should be very excited! We must greatly pressure Mark Carney and the liberals to put their country first so we can improve our economy and ensure state stability with proportional representation. We must have a national citizen's assembly formed now to look at all the electoral systems to decide on the best one for the mps to work together to implement!

The ndp must force the liberals to enact a citizen's assembly on electoral reform for the first condition of a supply and confidence agreement.

Pierre Poilievre is a loser who must be kept as far away from the seat of prime minister.

He didn’t lose everything as the NDP may hold the balance of power with the other parties.
