Going back on electoral reform was 100% bad and the equivalent of taking their ball and going home because they didn’t like the overwhelming PR result. The pipeline concessions were also very bad because Alberta needs to find another industry that isn’t inefficiently spewing toxic sludge while it slowly dies because the world is moving past it

Going back on electoral reform was absolutely bad and stupid, and was done for selfish reasons. Jamming through the pipeline was also bad and stupid, and Alberta can go gently caress themselves.

I honestly don't understand how so many people in this thread who at least nominally pay attention to politics are not angrier at the status quo. Most of you guys love getting worked up into a lather over some dumb rural comment on facebook or stories of people taking out lines of credit they can't afford but there's such a casual indifference to the daily grind of poverty and misery that a lot of people face. The mere fact that an elected federal politician isn't constantly campaigning for policies that will help people struggling around the poverty line already makes them poo poo. By any coherent moral standard there are maybe a handful of parliamentarians in this entire country who are not either lovely people or at best people allowing themselves to be willfully blind to the constant human misery that surrounds them. To be Prime Minister and to not be constantly talking about and advocating strategies for fixing poverty and deprivation in this country automatically makes you part of the problem. All the more so when you're a popular political figure with a huge political mandate that you've barely made any use of.

I have to admire Albera's dogged determination to get the shittiest oil on the planet out of their soil and into the market, come hell, high water, or environmental catastrophe, no matter how little economic sense it makes. Way to really quintuple down on being a one-note economy.

The status quo sucks but you can't always be mad and focused on other people's problems. People don't work that way. (even if other people's problems are inevitably linked to your own problems)

Whatever happened to that disability and work bill? The media coverage a couple weeks ago made it sound Too Good. I haven't worked since I've been on disability, but that whole thing sounds suckass. OTOH, I don't trust the Conservatives on principle and there's a bit of slippery slope towards "these people are productive members society, see. They don't need any help at all."

I'd accept this more readily if this entire thread - and a great deal of politics generally - wasn't a gushing fountain of resentment most of the time. People do walk around constantly mad about things that don't particularly concern them. It's just that quite a few people - especially in this thread - seem more upset at the idea somebody took on a debt they can't service than the idea that lovely managers all around the country are stealing people's wages or that businesses collude with the government behind closed doors to reduce incomes and increase costs for working people.

Uh, I'm one of the only people who's mad about the status quo due to my life in and around poverty and you've seen how mad people get when I post about how lovely and worthless our entire political establishment is. People want to live in a comfortable world where everything is just and works out in the end, anyone who wants real change or wants people to take action to make things better just gets yelled at for having a lack of decorum or not being nice to whatever idiot is falling for the Liberal's scams at the moment.

Helsing made a good point. I'm constantly raging at the lack of effort to (1) reduce income inequality, (2) move away from fossil fuel dependence, and (3) have wealthy Canadians and corporations pay their fair share of taxes. Among friends, in my workplace, and in volunteering for political causes, I've been very vocal that proportional representation (yay for MMP) would pressure politicians to move on the above files. Now for content, I'm pretty upset at Kirsty "geography is STEM you guys" Duncan for her bullshit cop out on scientists still being muzzled https://twitter.com/KirstyDuncanMP/status/966745830609903616 For over two years I've been telling PIPSC bigwigs, including the President, that we scientists were still very much muzzled, but they wanted to call their endorsement of PMJT a victory instead. Now Duncan says it's basically the scientists not changing their culture fast enough?

DariusLikewise posted:Well gently caress Evidence from my point of view seemed kind of flimsy. Looking at the CBC article There wasn't any real physical evidence or cause of death that really tied to Cormier to killing Fontaine, and his statements could be interpreted differently to suggest he could have disposed of the body but not actually killed her. We should probably see all the evidence, but at first glance I think the Crown had a shaky case, relying on eye witnesses placing them together and those recorded statements weren't an outright admission of guilt, just reasons why Fontaine could have been killed but not actually stating he did kill her. Seemed to be largely circumstantial, where reasonable doubt could have crept into the jurors process. Or It's cause he's white who knows.

Looking at the CBC article So yes the criminal justice system failed to convict a killer of a young aboriginal girl yet again in Manitoba. Regardless of if it was Cormier or not why can't the police find the actual killer and why can't the Crown put together a solid enough case to get someone convicted hmmmmmmmm
