These are also people positioning to cross the floor once PeePee poopoo pants gets in. They’re very specifically using the same terminology he is

Again, I don't know if I'm just in a weird out of touch bubble, but my steadfastly-conservative parents' opinion on PP is "gently caress it, I'll spoil my ballot." I've had words with them about the assholes they vote for not actually reflecting the values they taught me, and it's led to jack poo poo, but this is one step too far for them.

And, hey, they're still pissed off about the Ottawa protesters and the Coutts blockade, so.... PP might be uniquely unpalatable to them. My mum was going through lung cancer treatments through the pandemic, so they feel pretty strongly about the pandemic poo poo. I can hope...

Our only hope is that the NDP's desperate attempt to justify its existence might lead to the Liberals doing things people actually care about enough that the Old Stock Canadians' natural desire to embrace white supremacist fascism will be tempered by their self-interest. Otherwise, it's going to be Trump all over again and we, too, will discover one day that we're actually a lot shittier and more hosed as a country than we thought.

It’s a wrap. None of the centrist parties know how to talk about how/why everything is poo poo right now in a compelling way so PP is gonna slide his slimy rear end right into 24 Sussex’s ample foyer. Best we can hope for is the Liberals absorb the NDP, manage to hold on for another cycle and the cons turf PP for not instantly winning.

Can't wait for the discourse of four years' time from now of "Wait, so we outlawed abortion and gay marriage, and our privatized healthcare system collapsed somehow... and I'm still poor? What the gently caress? I thought Pierre was my friend  "

Been trying to remember what it was like when Harper was losing popularity in his party.. did lickspittles like rex murphy turn against him in long winded diatribes? Just thinking of what to expect with pierre. Hm I think rex was still on the cbc at the time so didn’t write his bullshit in the natty post.

You are going to see media begin to mention “change election” a lot over the next year or so. The people who will get PP elected are the Liberal in the same way they always setup the shot for the Cons. By being Liberals

What was the narrative last time around? I remember the media confidently predicting a Liberal majority due to the COVID response, followed by the tides turning once the election kicked off and then the news pieces turned to O’Toole having the Conservatives back on track. Is that how it went down? Feels like a lifetime ago lol. Anyway I’m not convinced the media is hooked into popular sentiment at all, and Twitter is just full of bots so who cares.

I’ve left several Discord / WhatsApp groups because over the last 6-8 months they’ve been overrun with alt-right people posting Pepe and Wojak memes about Trudeau, Singh, SJWs, etc. The flooding of the alt-right people happened to several channels all within about 10 days of each other so it seems like it was organized.

Algos are a huge part of it. 6buzz has 2.2million followers and there are tons of similar/knockoff accounts that expose a lot of young people to conservative bait and ideas and it’s only becoming more obvious. Basically it’ll be rap and Toronto news followed by a post that’s like “this ontario teacher fails students who don’t have more than 3 genders! What do y’all think 🤔 “ Also they are all terrified about crime. In my day conservatives blamed young people for crime (shout out Mike Harris), which just made us realize how much the media lies about it. But it seems now they’ve realized that younger voters are a prime target for fear mongering. The average >30 ontario suburbanite thinks Toronto is a warzone.

And everyone left on the Conservative lifeboat just stood around gobsmacked because they were suddenly a party of backbenchers with crushed dreams and no decent successors to Harper for lightyears because he'd bought into his own hype, thought he was going to die in office, and disposed of all his rivals or anyone with a whiff of leadership ability. The only reason Poilievre has a shot at grabbing the ring from Trudeau is because Harper's finally regained enough CPC political capital after two successive goobers came and went in Scheer and O'Toole, and he's now had time to groom Poilievre enough to inherit Harper's plastic, robotic, kitten-strangling crown to usher in Harperland Reborn.

EngineerJoe posted:It's probably the old, white men. I know someone matching this description who is progressive on some issues but thinks society has gone too far (with woke-ism) on others and doesn't value people like him so much (maxed out pay grade in a government job without forced retirement and with a generous pension but whatever). Willing to take an online course on indigenous history in Canada and thinks it was pretty good but also too political (???). If you ask most voters' opinions on enough topics you'll eventually find them all to be contradictory, or at least inconsistent, so I dunno, just take what you can get if they're not voting Conservative or worse.

infernal machines posted:This is a bit ambiguous but everyone's reading is pretty direct, you are eligible for the bivalent booster six months after your last booster shot, regardless of type. Hence calling in and providing explicit consent for anything sooner. Presumably they're worried about side-effects from more frequent doses, because there isn't a lot of data on that. Got the notification for priority shots for HCWs/hospital workers yesterday and the guidelines in the email were a minimum 84 days with the recommended interval being six months but that as long as it was more than 84 days since your last shot, the interval was up to you and there was no special process to get it earlier, just show up. Oddly enough the recommended interval was five months in the initial email then changed to six in a later one. It's also funny that not a lot of us are going to qualify for the early shots before it opens to the general population because they delayed the fourth booster rollout for healthcare workers for so long many of us AFAIK got it in July/early August and won't be at 84 days until October/November.

Heard a 17 year old PP supporter on CBC radio saying he's concerned about Canada's national debt.  He did have a legitimate beef with the way things are being run though, because his immigrant mother (from Brazil, if that matters) has two master's degrees in education and isn't allowed to teach here.

Not that I think much of Canada is like Missouri, Tennessee and Kansas but: After reading "Dying of Whiteness" I am pretty convinced that those type of white supremacists are literally willing to kill themselves if it at least oppresses a non-white or non-straight person in the process. There were guys interviewed in that book rolling around in wheelchairs with oxygen tanks, barely staying upright, that voted against local ACA-type healthcare because they didn't want black people to take advantage of it. Other people holding on to their guns for dear life as epidemics of gun suicides swept their communities. Are there people as far gone as that here? Probably, the question is how many.
