It’s smaller than png which a company that shows images really likes because it’s cheaper so to force adoption they convert a bunch of images to .webp on google images
The problem is that 1. It hadn’t been adapted anywhere so people would have to convert it back to png to use 2. It is worse in every aspect to jxl files so Google has had to block the adaptation of jxl on the web as much as they can (jxl retains more quality and is half the size of webp)
Currently only webkit browsers support jxl out of the box. Firefox has had it in their nightly builds for years now but have never moved it into standard

You did but you ignored your own comment
The cops will keep us all safe from fascists.

Congrats on having a rifle, I guess you just have to keep it raised at every one…oh but then they have to do the same so now you can’t recognize a threat
Politically we have to assume they are the same due to their positions
Popularity wise, she is a woman which unfortunately is already a bad thing in Canadian politics. And media has been framing her as bitchy. She gets blamed for a lot if things that I feel of she were a man people would just shrug at
Past that though, she lacks charisma and the Trudeau brand
