Was there really a PEGIDA march in London today? Are a lot of people getting intensely mad over the Omar Khadr settlement or is it just the same number of assholes being particularly loud?

Also apparently there is a rift already forming in the PC party because Patrick Brown isnt racist/conservative enough? And theyre splintering to form their own party or something?

They got pissed off at him for marching in a pride parade (or not condemning it or something) The PCs lost the last provincial election because they ran a lunatic against Wynne, not because Wynne was an ideal alternative.

infernal machines posted:~*Gleefully hands out pink slips to government workers as campaign stunt*~ I liked TIm Hudak's math error where he said he was going to create 1,000,000 jobs and it turned out he actually meant he was going to create 125,000 jobs over eight years, and he was going to start by firing 100,000 people. That's the kind of sound math that underlies strong stable conservative economic policies!

I hope Jason Kenney is found smoking meth with a gay prostitute like people of his ideological bent so often are. Then I hope he loving kills himself because he's human garbage. May he die soon, but not quickly, and in utter disgrace... Niki Ashton on the other hand is someone I just disagree with but isn't a terrible person, so I'll be content if she loses the leadership race and goes on to live a happy life in whichever way seems best to her.

I take umbrage to the idea that neoliberalism has an agenda. It's just FYGM on a society and economy defining scale. There's no overarching plan to kill the world driven by a handful of mysterious powerful men in a shadowy boardroom. It's just thousands and thousands of boring men in well light boardrooms doing whatever makes the most sense to make the next quarter shine, and you just keep repeating that until the world is dead.

Arcsquad12 posted:They got pissed off at him for marching in a pride parade (or not condemning it or something) Tim Hudak turned double-digit leads over the Liberals into election losses twice. That's how awful he was. The rift against Patrick Brown has forming almost since he was appointed leader and it is partially because he isn't "conservative" enough, which was a complaint Hudak faced as well. In this movie, "conservative" means "angry." The loud, fringe elements of the Ontario PC base, at least in my talk radio-listening experience, want someone who has a lot of "fire in the belly" and someone with "passion." They're angry; why isn't their leader as angry as they are? Patrick Brown also told PC leadership voters he hated the things they hate and then, when he became the leader, suddenly didn't hate those things anymore. He is no longer against the new sex ed curriculum, he is no longer opposed to francophones being allowed to access services in French and he's not against gay people having basic human rights. There have also been issues surrounding how candidates are vetted and chosen within riding associations and accusations that Brown is being dictatorial or undemocratic in forcing certain candidates out of potential riding races. The "new party" thing is, at this point, localized entirely around crazy Jack MacLaren in eastern Ontario, who was booted out of the PC caucus a couple of months ago when a video surfaced showing him talking to an anti-French language rights group, telling them he can't say out loud what he wants to do to limit francophone rights because the party might not get elected. He's now joined the Trillium Party and has taken the support of the Ontario Landowners' Association with him. He lost his mind in a radio interview within days of it happening. Whether any other PCs follow MacLaren's jump to the Trillium Party, or whether he even gets re-elected remains to be seen.

They are effectively deferred wages and they are owed to the people least able to absorb a loss. In my mind, you should have to liquidate the loving company and stiff every investor and institutional creditor before you're allowed to touch pension obligations.

What's left that's decent to buy at Sears aside from maybe appliances? I was there over a year ago (my parents got a credit for not needing servicing on new appliances warranty) and we struggled to find $500 worth of poo poo to buy (even including a cheap suit my dad insisted on getting).

They really don't care about the brand at this point and are just trying to siphon the cash back to sears holding company in the states, and let the workers rot. So before anyone goes all workers rights, etc, how many of you a) shopped at sears, or b) don't use amazon for this petty retail garbage. Consumer online shopping, especially through amazon who will sell poo poo at a loss they dgaf, is closing the casket on retail by and large. I like dumb kenmore appliances because they last forever and can be fixed for dollars instead of being throwaway Lucky Goldstar or Samsung products.
