I still can't help but think of last time when the Cons were ahead for a most of the election season, Trudeau got caught doing multiple blackface, and they still managed to lose.

Had a fun interaction with the Libertarian candidates for Edmonton Griesbach and Edmonton Centre when I was out for a walk on my break. They asked me if I supported the government forcing a 'not very effective vaccine' on people, and then wondered what evidence I was looking at when I told them that I thought the evidence supported the vaccine being tremendously effective. I'm sorry, I don't bring my references with me in case I get into an argument with weirdos.

Then I stepped in dogshit and it was the second worst thing that happened to me on my walk.

BC re-introducing the mask mandate and providing guidance on schools, and loving up the press conference as always.

The mask mandate should never have been removed in the first place. Dr Bonnie Henry and Adrian Dix are idiots who have completely eroded any trust I had in them.

Alberta recently attempted to remove the need to isolate if you currently have Covid.

BC is certainly not doing this perfect, but it is still legit better than next door.

No, I get that, but vaccinations and masks, at least. You can require vaccination for in-person learning from any cohort eligible for vaccination. It'll be fine.

Bonnie just hates masks. After following this poo poo intently since it started its my only take away for BC's policies. She constantly gets extremely concerned that in places with mask mandates people with "valid reasons" for not wearing a mask might feel shamed or bullied and that's a price too high. She also thinks masks make people overconfident. She's an idiot.

Last election, the Christian Heritage Party candidate in my riding mass-mailed a detailed policy letter talking about how they were going to completely solve the medical wait time issue in Saskatchewan by banning gender reassignment surgery and abortions.

Because gender reassignment surgery is absolutely something that doctors in Saskatchewan do. And those OB/GYNs can easily transfer their skills to hip replacements and heart surgery.

Last time I was in a Subway a kid dressed in black sweats and a black hoodie said he "didn't care" about what kind of bun he got, then ordered a veggie and demanded that it only contain pickles and onions with extra mustard. That is some next level Subway ordering right there.

Also Manitoba mandated masks in schools and that all educational staff be fully vaccinated, so congratulations BC you are somehow worse than Manitoba at this stuff now.

Better than Alberta is a very poor standard, and honestly we're making the moves we are because we're still "better than the US."

The idea that we only need to be better than those around us, rather than good by objective standards, is loving poisonous!

It's the attitude that they can behave as badly as they want because the neighbour's an rear end in a top hat that pisses me off. BC is so obsessed with looking better than AB while at the same time obfuscating data and claiming to be super transparent. It's hypocritical and it's dangerous and they should be held to account. But then fucker Henry just giggles nervously and the world moves on again and again and again rather than holding them to task for their fuckups.

Yah, they could have mandated vaccines for all students 12+ and all teachers/staff. I wish I knew who my kid's teacher is going to be so I could flat out ask them if they're vaccinated.

This. She is a buffoon who has given credence to all the anti maskers all along. My colleagues teaching grades 4 and under have found it manageable to have children wear it, and for the most part they do without issue.

There are some kids who legit can’t do to extreme behavioural or medical issues, but Henry just goes “it’s just too hard”. When these cases are 1ish students per class at my school.

It seems the anti vaxxer line of argument in BC is now “the immunocompromised are 2nd class citizens!” with the vaccine passport when they previously opposed all public health measures.

So very very happy to have these assholes eat poo poo and (not) die.

If the Liberals are re-elected on Sept. 20, Trudeau said, he would introduce a first home savings account which would allow Canadians up to age 40 to save $40,000 toward their first home and withdraw it tax-free when it comes time to buy. Money added to the account would go in tax-free and could be withdrawn without any taxes owing on possible investment gains.

He said a Liberal government would double the first-time home buyers tax credit from $5,000 to $10,000 — an incentive that would help with the many closing costs that come with buying property.


nothing about reducing house prices, just starving the government of revenue so its easier for you to get into massive levels of debt

Because I have a hard time accepting that our options are only "lovely status quo" and "even shittier status quo."

There should be a reckoning coming for the politicians who abuse their citizens for their own gain and we shouldn't have to accept mediocrity because the alternative is worse. The Conservatives being worse does not absolve the Liberals of being terrible and I'd be just as happy watching them both burn, along with the NDP the Bloc and the Greens. They all deserve to lose and none of them deserve to lead.
