I suspect the complaints are exaggerated and counter-complaints could be made.
But in answer to your question, Can it really be an alliance if there are strains and disputes? Yes.
You do see guys like that, and they're likely to vote NDP or Green, but there are plenty of Dippers having high tea at the Empress. This is Victoria.
Everything just gets worse and worse.
Do these orders only apply to individuals, or are government authorities covered as well? For example, if a government passed legislation that caused alarm and distress by grossly violating liberal and democratic norms, could they be charged?

Heads up, @OpenAI and @AnthropicAI. Rumor reaches my ears that you're doing a stupid thing, and should stop before you damage yourselves.
I hear you've now nerfed your models so that when people try to use them to clean the spamware and spyware out of their televisions, you block that.
If you really want Chinese open-weight models and open-source projects like OpenWaldo to eat your lunch, crippling your models so that people paying expensive subscriptions can't use them for completely legitimate purposes is a great way to accomplish this.
If, on the other hand, you'd rather have a volume business, maybe stupid arbitrary restrictions that look like they have the sole purpose of protecting corporate sleazeballs aren't such a good idea.
A word to the wise should be sufficient.
The main problem is not one perverted man. Such people will always exist, unfortunately. It's that sports bodies defend him. Every responsible decision-maker in those organizations should be removed, and banned from positions involving overseeing child and youth activities.
In this case, you may need the obvious pointed out to you, that the BC Liberals of Gordon Campbell and Christie Clark were well to the right of Liberals in the rest of Canada. Your characterization of Doerkson misses that.

What would the protestors ask for? The Nigerian army already fights Boko Haram and has made significant progress.
In the case of the Palestinians, Israel continues its stealth annexation of the West Bank and drags out its bloody campaign in Gaza with no apparent plan to end it.
I know what you mean, but I'd define Left and Right in context, so there's necessarily a Left and Right, even if the content fluctuates. But there is no American Conservatism in the historical sense.
Gone are the days of, "I thought I should get a haircut before that client meeting" and, "Well, that went well. Coffee?" "How about a beer?"
It's nice to have a recipe. You can do a zillion things with hamburger, chicken, or pork chops. But don't mess with steak.
...Social Credit collapsed and the Mandate of Heaven settled on the BC Liberal Party, which became a conservative party in all but name. When the Liberals collapsed, serious politicians had to navigate the chaos.
You're from Alberta, so perhaps you don't understand BC politics. Admittedly, they are bizarre. There's always a conservative party, sometimes more than one, but they tend to collapse after a few years or decades, & the conservative-minded rally under a new banner. In the 90s...
The election call was the biggest issue for me, but a surprising number of NDP-aligned voters I spoke to here in ultra-Orange Victoria were also critical of Eby's lack of financial discipline.

Here is Part 2 of my Mind to Mind interview with psychologist Susan Blackmore: youtu.be/c-XvrTW0x5M. We talk about meme theory, from Dawkins’s idea of a second replicator to Sue's suggestion that technology is creating a third, and what this means for the self.
