Except he already has a radio and his tax dollars are already paying for the CBC. No need to spend more money, he already has what he wants. Ergo, shut up.

Radio is designed to shape public consciousness, look at how formulaic the Top 40 and Classic Rock/Country stations are. It's to keep the status quo and people like that because it makes them feel safe if they can turn on the radio and get exactly what they expect to receive. With new music / podcasts you might here some stuff that doesn't line up with your beliefs/what society wants you to believe. Top 40 music is designed to hit your brains pleasure centers so you can better receive the advertisements on the radio

Learning nothing from Carr, another LPC minister spends far too much on cab fare. The delightful twist here is that it all went to one of her campaign volunteers.Liberal Health Minister spent $1,700 in one day on limousine service to travel around Greater Toronto Area posted:OTTAWA — Health Minister Jane Philpott spent about $1,700 having a car service drive her around the Greater Toronto Area for a day, according to documents obtained through access to information.

Just think, it's almost certainly going to be the steady drip-drip-drip of articles, spread over the next four to ten years, about Liberal cabinet ministers misusing their expense accounts $1,000 at a time that will eventually turn the public against the Liberals again and lead to another Conservative government so that the cycle can re-set. The billions of handouts they'll give to corporations or the damage they do to our tax code will, if anything, keep them in power longer than they would be otherwise.

If Somethingawful has taught me anything, it is that PT6A's car setup is a bad idea... Unless PT6A uses the patented "FONERWALL" system, then Hax0rz can get into his comptar machene and steal his TCMLBB packets. If he does not use CLIENT LOOPBACK PROTECTIONE then chances are he'll be driving all happily in his car, JeffK will hack into his phone, gain control of the steering column, drive straight into a giant vat of toxic waste like that guy in Robocop. Then he will emerge, and we will have the next Rex Murphy - which could be a good thing depending on your perspective... In other words, stick with Radio and you'll be fine.

PT6A posted:With the exception of the live axle, those things haven't been replaced by a superior alternative. We have podcasts now. You get to hear more in-depth discussions about topics that interest you more specifically, and you're not beholden to the whims of some twit at the CBC who schedules the radio programs. You can pause it and then come back to it later, so you can listen to longer discussions than your commute would otherwise allow. You can listen to it while driving out of the range of a local radio broadcast. Your enjoyment cannot be affected by a faulty transmitter, nor by bad weather. ...you're aware that new mustangs have live axles in them, right?

Bunny is exactly the sort of careerist political hack that's at the core of the rot within all our political parties. Always be campaigning, even on lovely forums. I know a couple of NDP volunteers that ended up getting paid gigs and they're just the orange version of Bunnyofdoom. Just mindlessly on-message at all times, always in full marketing/campaign mode. Everything out of their mouths, every event they go to, every facebook post had some slight partisan bent to it. Their entire lives structured around boosting their chosen party and climbing the internal ladder. Maybe they personally believed in something when they first got involved, but there's no room for that anymore, that part of their brain has been replaced with an implant connected directly to whatever their party's latest soundbites are. But it's ok, it's all for the greater good. They know their party is flawed (but will never admit it), but it's the lesser evil so no argument is too disingenuous, no tactic too hypocritical, no soundbite too intellectually dishonest so long as it's done in the name of getting more votes for their party. Criticizing (or even having an ounce of self-reflection) the party is just giving ammo to the other teams, so don't even allow those sorts of conversations, steer it to how other parties are worse or just ignore any topic that might involve those sorts of discussions.

Entropic posted:I'm still mad that As It Happens changed their theme song. After about a week I couldn't remember the old one. Its dorky as hell but I have a long-standing soft spot for CBC radio. Sure I shake my head, argue, or correct whoever's speaking quite a lot, but they have good stuff sometimes. They have some sort of drive right now to make their programs more about people or some poo poo and that kinda sucks. Shows like Ideas can be fantastic, and their morning show babble isn't usually that bad.

Bunnyofdoom wanted to be free from ever having to justify or explain his party's actions while also being free to criticize the other party's. If he had just outright refused to discuss politics and only ever posted about the experience of being a liberal staffer on the hill then nobody would have given him that much poo poo. But while refusing to defend his own party he was always very eager to attack the conservatives or NDP. His last argument here was an incredibly asinine attempt to claim that the NDP were against "collective bargaining". And when called out on this he immediately resorted to ad hominem attacks and claimed everyone was "lying" about him, and when pressed for examples of these lies he stormed off in a huff and never came back. I'm not sure why a massive cry baby hypocrite is all that deserving of sympathy. His real complaint wasn't that the thread was an NDP circle jerk, his complaint is that it wasn't a pro-LPC circle jerk.

To be fair, the NDP and the Cons are still way worse, so wanting the thread to be at least as in favour of the Liberals as either of those parties is Objectively Correct and I'll not hear a word against it.

Hey, remember how you were saying two years ago you had to vote Conservative because you were sure that if the Liberals came back into power they would implement the National Energy Program again -- a fear so ill founded it would sound stupid coming from a 14 year old? And then you changed this opinion entirely because you had a beer with your local liberal representative and decided he was a good guy? Your posts are like a compass that automatically swings to the dumbest possible opinion with unerring accuracy. And not even an interesting form of stupidity, because almost everything you post seems to come from this weird, narcissistic sense of neediness in which you cannot tolerate a conversation which doesn't revolve around you.

It was not changed by having a beer with my MP, my mind was changed by Justin Trudeau actually coming out west, paying attention to Alberta and what people thought here, and promising to responsibly support the energy industry here. I didn't vote for the federal Liberal party until well after that. I'm not a partisan, I'll happily vote for whichever party most closely aligns with the things I think are important, and until JT assumed the Liberal leadership, that was the CPC. Now, it's still the LPC despite the fact I disagree with plenty of what they're doing.

I guess if the NDP hadn't run such a terrible campaign things might be different? (Actually they'd probably be doing about the same as the Liberals, in order to be seen as a 'credible governing party'.) I didn't get what I wanted (a minority government) out of the election but I am more than compensated by the fact I get at least 4 years of bitter tears to consume here from the horrible whiny losers on this forum. Of course BoD stopped posting, he wants to keep his day job. This shocks you somehow? The minute he said anything not agreeable to any of a long list of posters here it'd be sent to the LPC with a demand he be fired immediately. Hell it might already have happened and he was told 'stop posting if you like your job'. Tell me it wouldn't happen, seriously, with the type of poo poo Ikantski and Helsing alone rave about. Hopefully there'll be better leadership and direction from the NDP and we can do better next election. Didn't Jack say something about hope? Oh wait, you despise Jack for selling out. I forgot.

If you want to read the actual circumstances of his last post it's easy to find them and spoiler alert, he left because me and him had a dumb meta-argument where I called him a hypocrite for attacking the other parties when he refused to defend his own. It wasn't my finest moment as a poster but I think it reflects poorly on you that you assume people who disagree with you politically must be the most awful kind of monsters.
