http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/alberta-calgary-consumer-debt-equifax-1.3484940 Average consumer debt is now $27k in Alberta compared to $21k nation-wide. I really want to know what the median value is because I know there are a lot of people without any consumer debt so I imagine like 50% of Canadians are carrying $50k. http://www.statcan.gc.ca/pub/75-006-x/2015001/article/14167-eng.htm In 2012 14% of families had more consumer debt than their annual income. Some other interesting stats in there like the net worth discrepancy of single vs coupled Canadians. It's like 10x. Interestingly, the only group not drowning in debt is seniors 65+. cowofwar fucked around with this message at 22:57 on Mar 10, 2016 |

No single person should be taken to represent the NDP's or any party's base of support. That's just silly. Lots of New Democrats are backing Sanders.

I know that there's a certain level of etiquette expected of you when you're a public figure meeting another public figure but cripes man, it's Kissinger. I'd consider it an honour to pull down my pants and piss on him.

Kissinger's a piece of poo poo but I don't think it's helpful to talk about taking a piss on him. I don't think selfies were appropriate, though, so I guess we agree on that.

THC's right - much (most is my sense) of the institutional NDP prefers Sanders to Clinton.Helsing posted:I don't mean to be getting all hell dumpy here and bringing in poo poo from other threads / forums but honestly if the most intelligent, disciplined and involved member of the NDP in this thread thinks Clinton is a better choice than Sanders then it really makes a mockery of all my dumb effort posts about how much more left wing the NDP's base of support is. The woman has actively sought out Kissinger's advice while in a position of real power, unlike those Liberal yahoos going in for selfies, and then she bragged about her friendship with him. I mostly don't have faith in Bernie's capacity to govern, both personally and institutionally, and the presidency is a purely executive office. Personally, he has a streak of with-us-or-against-us-itis where he and his campaign are often really quick to impugn dark motives to groups and people who ought to be his natural allies when they don't support him (see Planned Parenthood/that latina activist they slagged), and I'm afraid he surrounds himself with true believers and alienates potential allies too much. He's slow to adapt his language and seems uninterested in learning about issues beyond his core issues (last month, six months after the BLM protests prompted his campaign to change how it talks about race, he still answered "how will you make race relations better" with "we'll put the billionaires in jail"!) Hillary's been a lot better on those two fronts - 30 years of juggling diverse interests and stakeholders prepares you for the presidency better than 30 years of lobbing grenades from outside the system. Institutionally, I just don't think there's an infrastructure for a left president to be successful, and I think the american left is being wrong-headed in pursuing a presidency-first strategy and hoping to replace a liberal with a social democrat at the top of the ticket. I know you agree with me on this - you don't move politics left from within the electoral system, you do it from outside. It doesn't do you any good to elect a president who believes in free college when he's not going to have support from Congress (including much of his own party!), from the states, or even from an activist student movement. I guess I discount his policy positions because of that: single payer's nice, but it's not going to happen. 15$/hour is nice, but it's not going to happen. Free tuition is nice, but it's not going to happen. Legislative outcomes aren't going to start moving left just because Sanders is in the White House instead of Clinton. So when you look at the presidency, my sense is that Clinton would be better at staffing the Labor and Justice departments, better at recognizing and acting on opportunities to use executive action, better at appointing judges. Sanders would get help here, of course, but I just don't think he's interested in the nitty-gritty details of governing. Of course, Clinton has terrible foreign policy judgement, so you have to weigh your sense of the risk she'll make a huge blunder with your sense of how much more competent she'd be. I can understand coming to a different conclusion than me.

I think you're spot on here, but to be fair that's something Sanders has told his own supporters it's just that no one seems to actually listen to the guy. He isn't going to accomplish more than half the things he's promised if everyone votes him into the nominee/presidency and lets Congress remain in Republican hands. Of course American gerrymandering has made that much more difficult to accomplish.

It's all true, he would be an ineffectual president. But I tend to weigh it more in terms of which candidate would cause the least human suffering around the world. And I reject the premise that American misery is more important than anyone else's. So yeah, Sanders.

Maybe having Sanders in the White House wouldn't result in the sweeping changes we'd like to see, but it may shift the Overton window left - which would be nice

It's possible and even likely Sanders won't be able to pass the big policies we'd like to see south of the border, but Clinton probably won't even try. More importantly though, I don't trust our current government not to piggyback on more foreign adventurism, so I think a Sanders presidency would entail less murder at the hands of Americans and Canadians alike.
