it's inconceivable to me there exist premieres with lower approval ratings than christy clarke. reminder that she lost her riding in vancouver - point grey, a slam dunk liberal riding if there ever was one - and had to ask a mp in west kelowna - a sparsely populated suburb of a city she had zero association with - to step down so she could run there and server as premiere. she still lives in point grey, but she bought a vacation home in west kelowna maybe

MA-Horus posted:Saying "You go to Branksome because you can't afford Havergal" is stupid. Tuition at Branksome is 24k a year, Tuition at Havergal is 30k a year. For people with that kind of money, 6K a year is pocket change. Hahah. I didn't google tuition from the 1990s or anything. That's what her mother said when I asked, "why not Havergal?" because I was a tactless poo poo at age 14. (I remain a tactless poo poo.)

Each and every time the PQ or QS makes inroads with the anglo voter, they immediately lose it two weeks later when the OQLF or one of their own hardliners so much as farts. Kinda frustrating. Hal_2005 posted:Montreal has been a rusting, rotting cesspit of institutional corruption since 1960 (Expo 67 anyone?). Anyone who disagrees is both nostalgic and willfully ignorant; likely seeking fresh Government patronage contracts. Yeah, we do have horrible corruption problems, but we also are quite active at confronting them, (half-assedly) prosecuting them and calling them out in the media. Are you telling me that the ROC doesn't have a single corruption or nepotism problem? I seem to recall a couple Canpol threads worth of potential material in these last pages. The corrupt Quebec swindler is just a convenient image for you to pat yourself on the back over. Nine of Eight fucked around with this message at 17:41 on May 25, 2016 |

Eby is the only this the NDP has going for it right now, and I hope they recognize that when election time rolls around next year.

Kinda frustrating. This is what I meant about anglophone media being propaganda: the OQLF is actually virtually powerless and hasn't done anything big enough to warrant this hatred. But the anglo media uses it as a scapegoat all the time so it's become the dreaded "language police" and it would be hilarious if it wasn't so sad.

The recent teacher's protest on the 7th reached into the thousands of protesters. It has been a complete poo poo show.

Newfoundland's Premier Ball has walked back the deficit reduction levy, and now only those earners above 50k will have to pay anything I cynically believe they always planned to use this option after a blowback, but I don't think they expected such severe protests. I'll be genuinely surprised if this doesn't hurt their long term reputation, although following Dunderdale this might be their one get out of jail free card.

BallsFalls posted:Brampton rejected a proposed LRT route connecting Mississauga and Brampton, paid for by the provincial government because they didn't want to "destroy the heritage character" of "historic downtown" Brampton. Completely agreed. Hamilton's bus lane debacle a few years ago really laid bare just how FYGM some councillors are here. The way Terry Whitehead conducts himself on social media is absolutely reprehensible. I was once against de-amalgamation but seeing what those shits in Flamborough and Ancaster are willfully doing to the lower city I think we should give them what they want and cut them loose to sink.

So the Liberal government is holding a "consultation" in "Toronto" regarding the TPP on June 15th, in the middle of a work week, and they have yet to announce the time or location of the event, which isn't exactly being widely advertised anyway. I can't wait to hear about the Liberals "listened to Canadians" before making any decision on the deal. What a joke.

Since it keeps coming up does anyone feel like going over what, exactly, the implications of being found Not Criminally Responsible are for De Grood? I'm familiar with the basics but not being a lawyer it's not entirely clear to me how long he is likely to remain forcibly confined, what the conditions of those confinement would be, and what criteria would be used to judge whether he can return to society. If anyone wants to weigh in on this I'd appreciate it. I mean, based on the Vince Li example it is conceivable that De Grood could be unattended in public five years from now, yes?

I don't care whether he's responsible, or whether he ~intended~ to do so, or whatever, it's just important that he's removed from society. Let him live out his days in the nuthouse, get him a PS4.5 if you want, but it's insane to expect people to nod and smile and very tolerantly and progressively accept someone who attacked, stabbed, and murdered five people, you know, it's just a little oopsie of the brain!CLAM DOWN posted:Source your quotes. drat good catchphrase, and funny!

So I think I owe my friend who pointed out he'll stay on til the Duffy trial is over Yeah, it's safe now that a bunch of his senators are no longer facing legal action. Harper might be a good tactician but he's certainly not subtle. Sounds like his fellow one percenters are planning to take good care of him. Just as well; it might crease my brain if he was planning to go into humanitarian work.

Canada is simultaneously too small and insigificant to do anything about global warming yet big and powerful enough to strong arm an American president who is busy trying to maintain his party's electoral coalition.
