I think a majority of Canadians are kind, hardworking, and want what's best for their families, friends, neighbours, and the country.

What does a brand new political party platform look like to appeal to an overwhelming majority of Canadians?

Par for the fucking course. Remember how his crackhead brother cost Toronto nearly $100M in cancellation fees, wasted work, and then probably hundreds of millions more in lost productivity by writing a one page memo on mayoral letterhead cancelling Transit City?

It infuriates me that people think conservatives are good with money. They burn through hundreds of millions in utter and complete bullshit while championing 'efficiencies' and burning the system down from the inside.

He wasn't afraid of fucking around in downtown Ottawa for 3 weeks... but the finding out... THAT part he's afraid of.

Can we just sentence him to get a university-level education? It will effectively keep him out of society for the rest of his life.

Yeah, when the convoy crew ended up in court, they kept talking about their 'amendment rights', and the judges had to ask what they were talking about. These people are so dense that black holes are jealous. It's more proof that they're being purposely misled and manipulated in order to sow anger, disharmony, and fight against ourselves instead of the real sources of our problems.

One more time for the people at the back: POLLS ARE VOTER MANIPULATION

Polls and their news coverage gives people the impression that the outcome has been decided and demoralize / frustrate voters. It's why Thug Ford won a majority in Ontario with just 17% of eligible voters.

SHOW THE FUCK UP TO VOTE, AND BRING THREE FRIENDS.

Reality has a well-known liberal bias.

Oh yeah, phonecalls with my mother would start pleasant and turn into her bullshit about 'the great reset' or 'the great barrington declaration', and when I expressed doubt in the accuracy of her information, she'd go full-on smug asshole and say shit like "Well, I guess we'll know which one of us is right soon enough." or "Don't come crawling back to me when your investments all go to zero.". It was 100% 'escape to the future' fallacy, all day every day.

I eventually got tired of the bullshit and went zero-contact, filtered her eMails to the spam folder, blocked her number, etc.

I anticipate that I'll get the call one day that she's in the hospital and nobody will come pick her up, but until then, my sanity remains intact.

It's not just men. My mother was pushed down the FaceTube YouBook weaponized disinformation rabbit hole.

It's outrage porn... They LOVE being angry at 'the system' or 'corporations' or 'the WHO' etc. etc.

Yes, there's a lot of stupid corrupt shit going on, but posting on social media is the most impotent thing a person could do to make a difference. (Yes, I appreciate the irony.)

In other news, water is wet. Heat... hot!

Fuck Meta. Just tell people to go to TRUSTED news sites. Either their local radio or television stations, or the CBC.

If it's less painful to pay the tax than to do the right thing, then the tax isn't high enough. Keep doubling it until it works, and in the meantime, use the tax revenue for the city to use as low-income housing.

Dude doesn't sound like the kind of guy who has $200 million. Or could ever earn it in a lifetime.

The numbers are still in favour of getting vaccinated. Complications from the vaccine are as close to zero as any medical procedure could be. The complications from raw-dogging COVID are far greater, regardless of your cohort. Turning a life-threatening infection into an inconvenience is what the vaccines do. If your concern is minimizing total risk, getting a COVID booster each year with your flu vaccine is the way to go.

These people are literally a herd of cats in a room with a laser pointer pointed at a disco globe.

My mother is a conspiracy theory sucker. Being isolated during the pandemic with her idiot boyfriend literally spun her around from being a compassionate intelligent woman who ran her own successful business for over a decade to literally being afraid of everything and everyone.
