Quote from: Josephus on Today at 05:34:07 AMAs I said many months ago, it makes no sense for Trudeau to step down now, or for a purge. Whoever leads the Liberal Party in the next election, with the exception of maybe Taylor Swift, will lose. They all know that, even if they are in denial. No newbleader is gonna wanna run and lose right away; that's political suicide. Best to let Trudeau take the fall next election, and then start from scratch and aim for 2029 or 30 or whenever.

The Conservatives are not popular, Trudeau is very unpopular.

There is an easy way to fix that quickly. But it has to be done quickly.

The real question is whether Trudeau will have the insight and humility to realize that he is the reason the Liberals are so unpopular.  That is the thing that is unlikely.  And it will be for that reason that the Liberal party goes down in one of the biggest defeats in Canadian history.

Quote from: crazy canuck on April 26, 2024, 11:47:21 AMI agree that is the most likely scenario.  The wildcard is that I doubt Carney would want to wait till the following election given his age and stage.  It would be much better for him if Trudeau stepped down now.  And we have already discussed the grumbling within the party that many want that to happen.



Obviously.

But does he have enough support to make it happen?

The Libs are this point because theu collectively failed.  Some might fear a purge.

There was an article in the Globe quoting party insiders suggesting he does and his leadership of the party at the point is inevitable.  The only question now is before or after the election.

Never mind EU5, this is basically Vickie IV (in an earlier, pre Vickie era).

Other important aspects
Every building requires employed pops to function as well, and those that require "upper class" pops like burghers, clergy, and nobles, also increase the potential for them in the location, making pops slowly promoted. This can be slightly awkward as powerful nobles or clergy construct more buildings that make them more numerous and powerful.


Producing buildings that are not profitable will be closed, and pops will work in other buildings, however, you can always subsidize a building if you require the goods or other benefits it gives.

Speaking of profit. The profit of a building is added to the Tax Base of a location, split among the power of the population in the location.

You can always close and open a building, if you want to manipulate prices, or if you want your pops to work with other things, and you don't want to destroy a building permanently.



Also this game seems like it's going to be super ambitious. I think it may be a couple years away from full development.

If she is prone to shooting "nasty and mean" males that have not been castrated, I don't think it would be a good idea for Trump to make her his running mate  :huh:

Are boeings falling apart more often now, or just in the news more often?

Another Boeing falls apart in-flight. Starting to look a bit careless.
