Doug Ford’s entire campaign was based on a promise he would save us from Trump.

Who will save us from Ford?

Whenever someone justifies a position with common sense you can safely take it as supported with zero evidence. If they had it, they'd give it.

see "the DARE program works. i know it works because it's obvious it works"

meanwhile in evidence and reality, the DARE program the opposite of works

What are you talking about? The DARE program worked great.

I know it worked great because I was told it worked great. If it hadn't worked, then why did it exist and why did so many people pay so much money into it?!?1?

Not directly DARE, but pretty close.

Good point, this is why we must all be against common sense gun laws in America.

Now is the time to be getting information from Canadian Owned and Operated media.

There will be disinformation campaigns unlike any other election.

The effective number of parties in Canada is currently 2.76 and declining - a trend that threatens democratic diversity. Unless we implement proportional representation, we're likely heading toward a two-party system that will further constrain political discourse and representation.

Only Green🟢/NDP🟧 consistently support proportional representation.

Common sense is such a ridiculous way to discuss politics. By saying something is "common sense" you are automatically putting down anyone that disagrees with you. You are discrediting their position immediately.

There is no compromise or discussion when you bring in the phrase "common sense."

“Common sense” is an outdated modernist concept.

[–] jerkface@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 weeks ago

"Common sense" is what you are forced to use when you don't know what you're doing. Falling back on common sense is FAILURE.

There’s no “common sense”. Half the population don’t have “common sense”.
