"What is it called when research aligns with and confirms the researcher’s preconceived views again?"
The term you’re looking for is confirmation bias — the tendency to interpret or favor information in a way that confirms one’s preexisting beliefs or hypotheses.

What's at the root of the UCP's use of the notwithstanding clause?
Our @partyloyalty.bsky.social research suggests hyperpartisanship is playing a huge role.
The locker room mentality in the UCP caucus is encouraging MLAs to cede even more power to the premier's office.
That's bad for democracy.

“Everyone now admits… that Conservatives were right on the Liberal capital gains tax, ... on the carbon tax, on pipelines, on LNG, on fentanyl, the borders, immigration and the need to celebrate rather than cancel our proud history,” [Poilievre] said."

Mark Carney feels like a swarmy opportunist. He's like a buzzard popping up when he smells a corpse that will satiate his appetite for power.
He's in it for himself.

So @JustinTrudeau is going to govern as PM through to the end of March, while members of his party tell 🇨🇦 ians all the things the things he & the @liberal_party got wrong & what they would do differently, & then ask 🇨🇦 ians for a new mandate in the election that will surely follow?
Weird.

You have to fish where the fish are.
The legacy media and a lot of progressives just don't get it. Poliviere does. That's why he's up 25 points in the polls.

Anyway, I watched Pierre Poilievre’s interview with Jordan Peterson so you don’t have to, and picked out some of the wildest parts so you know what the guy poised to be the next Prime Minister of Canada is actually saying.
Pierre Poilievre says Canadians are too obsessed with race because of “wokeism” and agrees with Jordan Peterson that Canada essentially had to invent and import racism because it didn’t exist here before recent decades.
Canada is so fucked if this guy forms government.

In 2015, the PM declared 🇨🇦 to be the world's first post-national state. Little has been done to foster a common bond or national pride. Polling shows it has had a cost.

Measels love the brain & lungs. Complications are common. I did a hearing once & the expert said complications include bronchopneumonia, respiratory failure, blindness, deafness, encephalitis, permanent neurological sequelae, subacute sclerosing panencephalitis, and death.
Measles -not to be confused with German Measels - is *very* dangerous & contagious. Whatever risk you think a vaccine presents, I promise you, having your child catch measles is worse. It loves the lungs & brain. It can cause life changing damage & death. Vaccinations work.

Reporters say “Mr. Trudeau was prepared to step aside on Monday but was talked out of leaving, a third source said.”

A wealthy friend of mine bought $1300 of "really nice" wine yestersay. He saved about $65 on GST.
As much as I love my friend, I'd rather we have incentivised things like support for foodbanks than a rich oenophile.
