You all made fun of the RCMP for trying to invent the GAYDAR, where are you now to defend the hordes of possibly bi men stealing our legislative positions?

This is getting into weird, bi-erasure territory. Maybe y'all can stick some electrodes to his dick and see if it moves when he's near a sexy otter.

I'll try again. This is undemocratic and deserves mockeryquote:The party has a policy requiring any departing MLA to be replaced by a woman or "equity-seeking candidate," including racial minorities, Indigenous people, and members of the LGBTQ community. You're going to automatically disqualify the next David Eby or Jack Layton or Abraham Lincoln just because of their skin color and sexual orientation. Politics should be about ideas, not identity. If that policy is okay, it would also be okay to just scrap the voting entirely and nominate whoever has the most diversity points. I say Gerry Taft is completely correct to use a ridiculous loophole to get around a ridiculous policy.

If you're the next Abraham Lincoln, you might just have the political chops to take out an incumbent Liberal. There's no requirement or expectation that internal party processes be democratic.

You can always come up with a reason that sounds valid to discriminate by skin/race/sexpref/gender, you just shouldn't do it. Our current fptp system doesn't even elect representatives proportional to who we voted for. Let's fix that first and then try to engineer a solution to electing reps proportional to what we look like, what dangly bits we have and what we like to do with them. The BCNDP won't be able to change any representation above their party level if their voters get annoyed by their discriminatory internal practices. There's no reason they need to do this to beat Christy Clark, it seems like cliche provincial NDP overengineering that leads to non-stop provincial Liberals.

It's not that it's solved, it's that there's something else more important to work on now. As determined by someone who has probably never been second-guessed in a position of authority due to his race, gender or sexual orientation. Another thing so important that we can't even make incremental progress on political equity! Once we figure out all the other problems then we can get to representing women and non-whites proportionally in their government. Just hold your horses, sweet tits.

Saying that it only applies to 10% isn't really any argument. quote:Taft can be commended for having the courage to come out and declare himself bisexual. But he should have been prepared to do that from the outset, when he filed his nomination papers and sought “equity-seeking” status. Refusing to be transparent — for whatever reason — made a mockery of his party’s special mandate. Break down those social barriers hard of hearing guy.

Given that immigration is likely to be a major plank of the Liberal's economic strategy moving forward (and is something of a sacred cow for the entire Canadian establishment) I thought the following article was worth considering. Obviously this doesn't touch on the potential cultural benefits (and of course problems) associated with immigration and the increased diversity it should bring, but this is worth considering:quote:The Evidence Is Clear: Population Growth and Prosperity Are NOT Linked I might add that contrary to the prevailing narrative that whatever is good for businesses is good for the economy, we might want to consider the relationship between cheap labour and low productivity growth. Some economists have suggested that by working so hard to keep labour affordable we remove the incentive for businesses to substitute capital for labour. While this keeps employment numbers higher than they otherwise would be it's also a drag on productivity, since all else being equal it would likely be better for the overall economy if businesses continued to automate and replace workers with labour-saving techniques or machinery. We only see this reduction in employment as a negative because our society does such a terrible job at taking care of people who lose their jobs. A sort of handy historical example here is to look at the spread of water and wind mills during the medieval period. Why did wind and water powered mills spread at the same time that European civilization seemed to be caught in a downward spiral? At the height of the Roman empire the economy of Europe reached an estimated level of wealth and productive capacity that wouldn't be seen again until roughly the 17th or 18th century. However, this wealth was generated almost entirely through a massive supply of cheap servile labour -- i.e. slaves. There was very little incentive for replace cheap labour with expensive technological advancements like water and wind mills. Hell, ancient Greeks went as far as to invent all kinds of technological toys like clockwork computers or a miniature steam engine. But these technologies were treated as mere curiosities. There was no selection pressures operating within society which might have encouraged anyone to pay attention to these devices as potential labour saving machines (the historian in me is obliged to add that the absence of effective research based institutions like the modern university likely also played a role in the lack of innovation during this time period, but I'm trying to keep this brief so I'll avoid the temptation to write a long screed on that). So, admittedly that takes us pretty far away from the topic of contemporary immigration, but there is an underlying point here to consider. Increasingly the supply of labour isn't some kind of automatic good for society unless you make a series of (usually unspoken) assumptions. As is often the case, merely giving business what it says it needs is a dubious economic strategy. Just because businesses claim they need more cheap and skilled labour doesn't mean this is actually the optimal path for growth.

I demand to see that man suck a dick to prove he's bi. And I want to see him genuinely enjoy it, no forcing himself. And I want it shot in 4k resolution, with good lighting, makeup and maybe a light backstory. Also I want 5 minutes to view the video in private to properly analyze it.

I'm a bi man who's currently in a monogamous, 7 year long relationship with an opposite sex partner. I have had multiple same-sex relationships in the past, but I guess I'm just a straight guy trying to pretend to be a disadvantaged minority. Seriously, get hosed with the biphobia and erasure garbage.
