Caroline-Mulroney Lapham is the leader the tories are looking for? Warning, sunmedia. Also, soem choice quotes from that article quote:“She certainly has the smarts and the glamour to offset the current prime minister in any future election — everyone in the room that night would agree,” said the Tory insider. Yup. Let's not repeat the style of conservatives past.By repeating their attack line. (Also, yes it was substance too)

bunnyofdoom posted:Caroline-Mulroney Lapham is the leader the tories are looking for? It's only been 6 weeks since Trudeau was sworn in, and I really think that someone at Sun Media is already going to spontaneously combust. And it certainly looks like the Conservatives are taking the wrong lesson from the election (beyond the obvious "everyone loves us and our policies, we were just too mean"). The key to winning an election as a leader isn't a famous name, or being great in question period, or raising a bazillion dollars (although all of those things can help). The key to winning is being a good loving politician. A great private sector resume proves jack poo poo about your ability to motivate people to vote for you. The last 3 PMs to win a majority (Chretien, Harper, Trudeau) have been, in essence, professional politicians. You can say the same for the majority of current premiers. Mulroney-Lapham might be great, she might not be, but it would make way more sense for her to, you know, actually have done something political so you might have a sense if she has any political ability whatsoever before handing her the keys to the party. Even the "inexperienced" Trudeau had the famous eulogy (demonstrating speaking ability), won a tough riding, and sat as an MP for 5 years+ before becoming leader.

Lucky, her "Reports from Parliament" always get published in our local paper http://cherylgallant.com/2015/11/13/report-from-parliament-13/ quote:Now the October 19th 2015 Federal Election is over, it did not take long for the American political operatives who played a prominent role as advisors to the Trudeau campaign to come looking for payback. The decision to reject the Keystone XL pipeline will come at a great cost to the Canadian consumer and Canadian jobs.

Goddammit, that's the second time the Beaverton's done that to me. Edit: According to Reddit it's inspired by this exchange: quote:Mr. Speaker, the new government was not given a blank cheque. Canadians expect due diligence. On June 2, when the truth and reconciliation report was released, the current Prime Minister pledged his unwavering support for all 94 recommendations, the full list, no exceptions. Could the Minister of Indigenous Affairs give us the full cost of keeping this promise? Why do Canadian satirists find pieces that are ~10% satire funny?

The Beaverton has gotten better over the last little while, in my opinion. They still don't have quite the same skill level as the Onion's writing team, but they're not awful. They've given me a few headline chuckles recently. Syrian refugees successfully integrate into Canadian culture, already hate Toronto or Trudeau announces ambitious plan to scale back promises by end of 2015 Where I think they have the most trouble is in quotes. They still write people talking like they're writing a satire piece. Writing realistic dialogue is pretty hard, and it always jumps out at me.

The onion also has the benefit of the GOP being literal loving cartoon villains at this point. Their own actual quotes already sound stilted and awkward, its pretty easy to outdo.

Professor Shark posted:Goddammit, that's the second time the Beaverton's done that to me. Agreeing to implement the TRC in full was even more unrealistic than promising to bring in 25k refugees this year. It is bad for Canada because instead of managing expectations, our government is making large, unkeepable promises to the First Nations. Making big commitments may temporarily improve relations, breaking most of those commitments will leave those relationships worse than before (probably not 1876 bad though when the Liberals first created residential schools). Trudeau promising to implement the full document (http://www.trc.ca/websites/trcinstitution/File/2015/Findings/Calls_to_Action_English2.pdf), one of which is to implement in full another 46 articles from the UN (http://www.un.org/esa/socdev/unpfii/documents/DRIPS_en.pdf) is not going to happen. I'm not going to argue whether they should or shouldn't happen. I'm saying that even if every civil servant and lawmaker started right now, there is no way they could implement those documents in 20 years let alone 4. The costing is one thing, it would be hugely expensive but the logistics of some of the changes in there are sticky wickets beyond cost. quote:We call upon those who can effect change within the Canadian health-care system to recognize the value of Aboriginal healing practices and use them in the treatment of Aboriginal patients in collaboration with Aboriginal healers and Elders where requested by Aboriginal patients quote:1. Indigenous peoples have the right to the lands, territories and resources which they have traditionally owned, occupied or otherwise used or acquired. quote:In keeping with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, we call upon the federal government, in collaboration with Aboriginal organizations, to fund the establishment of Indigenous law institutes for the development, use, and understanding of Indigenous laws and access to justice in accordance with the unique cultures of Aboriginal peoples in Canada. Trudeau's "implement it all" was vote winning, populist bullcrap that I predict will leave the situation worse than it was before. The conservative wasn't being racist. She was pointing out that, much like the rest of the Liberal platform, they promised something that they knew they couldn't do. Mulcair, justice warrior extraordinaire, had a perfectly acceptable, realistic leftist reaction quote:The government must act immediately in the areas of education, child protection and health care in order to put an end to the inequalities and sorry legacy of residential schools. We are determined to act upon the report of the Commission. We will consult with Indigenous people and establish which of the recommendations require the most pressing attention.
