I'm going to be making some major changes to the forums over the next few weeks.

The first, and likely the biggest change, is going to be in the name of the site, and the domain name you use to access the site (and consequently the discussion forums). I'm not going to release the new name yet (or the domain), you'll just have to wait and see what it is.  Not to worry, all of the old URLs will still work, everything will just be forwarding to the new domain URL scheme.

I will also be modifying the sub-form categories somewhat, incorporating some long overdue changes.  Mostly, I'll be expanding the US Politics section, so that it has it's own section (similar to what we have for the Canadian Politics section) 

  1. Canadian Domestic Politics
    1. Federal Politics
    2. Provincial Politics
    3. Local Politics
  2. United States Domestic Politics
    1. Federal Politics
    2. State Politics
    3. Local Politics
  3. International Politics
    1. Canada / US Relations
    2. The Rest of The World

The remainder of the forums I plan to keep the same.

Of course I'm always open to suggestion for organization of sections, so please post below if you have any ideas.

If you have any other good suggestions on reasonable changes we can make to the forums, please post them below. If they're good ideas, I'll do my research and see how easy it would be to incorporate into the new forums.

Thanks!

I can't imagine the US state and local politics subgroups will get much attention. There just aren't enough Americans here, and most Canadians aren't much interested.

I would like a 'General" group in there somewhere for stuff which doesn't really fit elsewhere. Based on experience and what I've seen elsewhere, groups for gifs and for political cartoons/memes would be popular. Also, a group specifically for the culture wars might not be a bad idea, however it's titled. I don't think that's a topic going away any time soon.

Yes, I would agree somewhat, but things are changing in the world of online discussions, and I believe there might be a migration away from large platforms like Facebook, towards more non-aligned forums like this one.

Perhaps we could merge the State and Local into one sub forum...

That's not a bad idea too.

      What is the Leading Death for Covid-19?
      By Hussain
      All over Ontario, people have been quarantined for weeks in order to flatten the curve and save lives, for the majority of places it has been working. Health officials are now saying that some places in Ontario have reached their peak and the daily number of cases are slowly starting to decline. However, long-term care homes are still at high risk and are being closely monitored to prevent a wide-scale outbreak.

      Justin Trudeau & COVID 19
      By Hussain
      Canadians won’t be able to return to life as they knew it before the novel coronavirus pandemic until a vaccine is available, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Thursday.
      “Normality as it was before will not come back full-on until we get a vaccine for this… That will be a very long way off,” the prime minister said during his daily news conference on Canada’s response to the COVID-19 outbreak.

      Should the government declare a national emergency?
      By Hussain
      As Canada confronts the worsening COVID-19 outbreak, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has hinted his government might declare a federal emergency, giving his cabinet extra powers to battle the pandemic.
      “It is a major tool and I can tell you that we already have a lot of tools that allow us to do what we need to do,” said Trudeau, at his Thursday news conference outside Rideau Cottage in Ottawa. “If there are other steps that need to be accomplished and can only be accomplished through invoking the Emergencies Act then we will do so.”
      Some experts have been urging the government to invoke the Emergencies Act, while others have shuddered at the idea, which would be an extraordinary step in the government’s response to the crisis.
      “We do recognize that the Emergencies Act is an extreme law with certain implications that would also require us to bring back the House of Commons to pass these measures,” said Trudeau.

      Should we call it the Chinese Virus?
      By Hussain
      Bill Maher said it was fine to call the coronavirus the “China virus,” adding that a global pandemic was no time for political correctness.
      “‘What if people hear Chinese virus and blame China?’ The answer is we should blame China. We can’t afford the luxury anymore of non-judginess towards a country with habits that kill millions of people,” Maher thundered Friday in a monologue at the end of his HBO show “Real Time.”
