But it's unreasonable to expect that a Liberal is going to pay for a poor person to go to University. "I don't care about your poverty" is not an insult - it's the Liberal party platform. Call him an rear end in a top hat because he is a Liberal and I'm right there with you. This whole "oh, the way he said it wasn't respectful" when we don't have the full conversation is bullshit. If the NDP ever form government, people can and will try this same poo poo to attack them. If you are an MP, you have to deal with all the crazy assholes who think the government should fix their personal problems. If you are an MP from Alberta, that means a lot of crazy right-wing shitbags. I expect MPs is to begin every conversation with respect. If the person is being awful at you, I expect you to keep your cool and not blow up but it's okay to get in some little digs here and there if the person is being nasty. It may be that he was in the wrong, but without a larger transcript of the conversation, I wouldn't jump to that conclusion. How many people have we heard twist the words of opposing politicians to try to make them look bad? This is on the level of saying that Hillary called Americans deplorable! Okay sure, she did, but which Americans? And did they deserve it?

I guess we should never call the Liberals out on their bullshit because that is the party platform. Pack it up everybody.

Call Liberals out on their lovely policies but have some skepticism when it comes to trash tier political smears from right wing rags. Don't see what's so hard about that.

You're moving the goalposts so much my head is spinning. First the complaints themselves were bullshit, then this veteran's spouse was the equivalent of a student who can't get their poo poo together, and now the problem is actually that we shouldn't expect Liberals to be human beings or be accountable in any way for the horrible things they say to people's faces because they might have to deal with awful constituents sometimes, and this is just a hit job by noted right-wing anti-Liberal rag The Globe and Mail. I'm confused.

"I asked Jagmeet to pay for my kid's school, but not only did he say he wouldn't, but he also acted like I was kind of an idiot for asking him." In this hypothetical, should Jagmeet resign from his position for being disrespectful to women? My position is simple: No. Apparently having lots of arguments all pointing to the same conclusion is "moving the goalposts" now? Also, the G&M has endorsed the Conservatives in every election since 2006. The last time they endorsed the Liberals was Paul Martin. They're maybe less of a rag than the Post - they're not The Rebel, certainly - but I don't really care to differentiate. They're all poo poo.

The woman was asking him in his capacity as Minister of Veterans, not if he'd spend money out of pocket. If Singh were asked by this woman "would an NDP government pay for my child's education?" then I would hope he'd say "yes of course, education is a right." If he answered otherwise then yes I would want to resign his position as leader. quote:Apparently having lots of arguments all pointing to the same conclusion is "moving the goalposts" now? Multiple people, some with corroborating witnesses, have independently described separate incidents where this guy acted like an enormous rear end in a top hat. He has even apologized for several of these instances. Reporting on this isn't a "smear".

I enjoyed the prominent article in the Calgary Herald (Post media rag) stating that Kenny's by-election win is a wakeup call to the NDP about their terrible policies. As opposed to, you know, being the completely completely loving expected outcome.

The Alberta Party has been promoting itself as the "centrist" alternative in Alberta, especially now that the Liberal party has collapsed and the Progressive wing of the Progressive Conservatives has been eaten alive by the United Conservative Party. Their leader, Greg Clark, resigned in order to drum up interest in the party. And he's not running again. Unfortunately for the Alberta Party, uh, literally nobody wants to run and get curbstomped by Jason Kenney. The vote with no candidates so far is February 27. Also, late but worthwhile: Kraftwerk posted:I have been prescribed Cipralex (Escitalopram). I asked the pharmacist to write the expiry date onto the bottle and stashed it into my drawer. I’d look at it whenever poo poo gets rough and then put it away deciding not to take it. I’m rationally aware of my mental health. But no amount of intelligence can help me overcome the apathy and anxiety I deal with on a daily basis. All my willpower gets used up going to work. After that I go straight home and don’t talk to or see anyone for days at a time nor do I feel the urge to do so. I have a lot of lovely friends I got rid of and my aura is too dark and depressive for my other friends. I cling to a strict routine to maintain whatever grip I got on normalcy. It’s no way to live. I know what I gotta do but felt scared to do it.

And post-secondary education isn't free in Alberta. Even for poor people with sick veteran parents it's not free in Alberta! Should Rachel Notley resign her position, in your opinion?

This is surprising to you? Mulcair was explicitly against free education and it was one of the many reasons I thought he was a terrible leader for the party. I'm not sure what this has to do with your inexplicable defense of noted rear end in a top hat Kent Hehr, who you seem to think was the victim of a coordinated partisan conspiracy.

The Toronto Star has a pretty good infographic on corporate tax cuts and how useless they are. But since you already knew that, here's a thing that might surprise you: Teresa Gratton is at least the 16th person to die in immigration detention since 2000. Canada Border Services Agency does not release name or cause of death when someone dies in their custody. This info comes from coroner’s inquests, media reports and detainee advocates. I occasionally give poo poo to Australians for their popular but pathologically psychopathic policy of detaining asylum seekers on remote islands, where they usually suffer abuse and occasionally die. But hey, apparently Canada does pretty much the same thing! Good times.
