Keep in mind that our standard of living while at its lowest point in 40 years is still among the top two or three in the world. The propagandist never mention that while they're pushing their grievance politics.

And to be very clear, electing a Conservative government that will cut taxes on the rich and cut services to everyone else to pay for it will crash or standard of living. Never trust s politician who says, "Elect me because I'm not the other guy and I'll fix everything" but never tells you how. The one thing you can be absolutely sure of is the fact that he's not going to fix everything.

It's not over until the Supreme Court sings.

I've found that being confident about others ability to succeed or recover is very attractive to some people. "I think you can do this and if your can't that will be ok and you will be ok and I will be here to help" is better than, "Of course I can do that."

Conservatives lie through their teeth to get elected. Once they're elected they cut taxes which greatly Bamford the rich, cut services which greatly benefit everyone else to pay for it, neglect necessary spending and call it savings, run up the deficit and the debt, then lose lose an election because everyone is pissed of because we can't get any services, then they spend the next few years lying through their teeth about Liberal spending trying to fix their mess until they win another election.

Rinse and repeat.

Comparing anything that is happening that falls short of the systematic murder of more that 10 million people to the systematic murder of 10 million people is going to get you in trouble. This hateful asshole said the quiet part out loud and is now suffering the consequences of her actions. She should have been dismissed immediately.

He also says that it milquetoast right of center Prime Minister is a Marxist. He's a liar but the people who believe his nonsense are fucking idiots.

Why the fuck do these people always panic about such nonsense? Can't we get them panicking about something real like the erosion of our rights, wealth inequality, climate change? No, these feckless idiots are panicked about pronouns. The Pronoun Panic. I guess it's easier to get through your day if you're panicked about something imaginary instead of something real that has actual consequences.

If you think that Canadians support the tantrumist bullshit then you definitely do live in an echo chamber. You really should stop reading Chinese and Russian anti-Canadian propaganda masquerading as extreme right wing "news" and come back to the center.

Lich is an idiot. She said, "If we had been there with an agenda to take over Ottawa and overthrow the government, we could have done it." A bunch of northern hillbillies with a hundred big rigs were going to overthrow the government of Canada. What a bunch of fucking nonsense. That would have ended in one of only two ways: They would have ended up in prison or they would have ended up dead. They are a bunch of delusional children who share a ridiculous collective fantasy. Save yourself before you buy their bullshit book, line, and sinker. Or are you already too far gone?

Why add losing the social progress we have made over decades to the mix? If what we need is further left why vote far right? Nothing is going to happen quickly. If the US goes authoritarian it will likely take decades to bring it back. How does electing white supremacist, white nationalist, racist, conspiracy theorist supported neo-fascists/christofascists help the average Candian who is socially progressive in the short, mid, and long term?

[Lawyers for AHS] cited a national consensus statement — developed in November 2021 and subsequently accepted by all Canadian transplant programs — which found a 25-30 per cent mortality rate in patients infected with COVID post-organ transplant.

July 2022 - Court of King’s Bench, Justice Paul Belzil - "...subjecting clinical decisions to charter scrutiny would create “medical chaos,” with patients seeking “endless judicial review of clinical treatment decisions.”"

November 2022 - Alberta Court of Appeals, Justices Frederica Schutz, Michelle Crighton and Dawn Pentelechuk - “Ms. Lewis’ COVID-19 vaccination status is not who she is,” the court wrote. “It is not an immutable personal characteristic … her choice not to get vaccinated against COVID-19 is just that — a choice.

June 2023 - Supreme Court of Canada - refused to hear appeal.

We make our own caramels. I forgot them and had to buy edibles in Toronto at a really nice store. They sucked. Ours are way better. Someone came by yesterday and left with 64. That's how you know they're good.

The thing that I find the most shocking about these people is that they actually believed that they could move into downtown Ottawa and threaten, harass, intimidate, and torture the residents and that there was nothing that anyone could do about it. You're a few hundred people with a few dozen really hardcore and you're taking on a country, with a standing army, with tanks and APCs and helicopters, and engineers with heavy wreckers, and tens of thousands of police officers. They're going to ask you to leave, they're going to tell you to leave, and then you're going to to be forced to leave. That it was done with no major injuries or deaths is a testament to just how much care was given to their rights and their safety despite the fact that they had proven themselves to be hateful, intolerant human garbage who had convinced themselves that everyone who lives in Ottawa is fair game in their tantrumist effort to get their own way.
