You idiot, only the Canada line is Hyundai because it's a loving bad train type. Expo/Millennium/normal skytrain is Bombardier.

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

Did you know that Alberta has so many sunny days and such prime geography for setting up solar panels and installations that we could be a world leader in clean electrical production?

Just off the top of my head.

But our oil workers are basically like that American unemployed coal worker who took a class, when offered a realm of retraining career possibilities, in...coal mining. They'd rather burn the province, and the world, down to ashes than face the possibility of our transitioning to a sustainable, non-destructive, economy.

I loving hate them, so much. They even make it virtually impossible for anyone that opposes the petro industry in this province from speaking up against it too loudly, even if they've already been elected to run it, lest they be destroyed and a full-force loving troglodyte like Kenney takes their place.

I'm just so goddamn tired of defending this province, of claiming there are good people here, when we're so loving outnumbered we have to pretend to be like the bad ones to avoid being ground into mush, pretend enough that it becomes capitulation and collaboration and...

Don't get me started on the Toronto streetcars, which they're still way behind on. The latest news is that they added a new production line in Kingston. I'm not sure if this is to make parts that fit, which the Mexico plant can't do, or just add more dwarves with hammers to bang the misshapen lumps into shape like their other Canadian plants.

This blows my mind. I work in manufacturing QA and if I worked for the streetcar division of Bombardier I think I'd be a full-blown alcoholic by this point.

I'm almost positive that they're shipping known-defective product with the expectation that replacement parts will be available before the car goes on the line. It's an awful way to operate.

Good. I hope all the PCPO dirty laundry is aired out in a court of law.

Of course it won't happen. Brown will drop this suit within a month of losing the leadership.

Yeah, he knows he has to do this to go along with his leadership run. Everyone except him knows he won't win, but this is a formality to go along with the lie detector tests and the girlfriend defense.

we monitor many frequencies. we listen always. came a voice, out of the babel of tongues, speaking to us. it played us a mighty dub.
No one claimed he did anything with an "underage" girl, unless you mean "below the legal drinking age", which as it turns out is completely irrelevant to the actual sexual misconduct allegations.

"She was in fact 19, not 18 as sloppy reporting may have implied" does not change the "So I took her, very intoxicated, back to my bedroom and stuck my dick in her face".

I've been reading this thread for like half a decade or something, I know perfectly well how much of a waste of time it is to get anyone here to try to understand anything about anything. Almost every poster here is so crazy blinded by their own privilege and comfort that I don't really expect to change any minds. Why would I expect anything out of people who's only defense to someone saying this country sucks is something along the lines of "you're depressed and therefore retarded, go get therapy"?

As with all threads, maybe I'll help educate some lurker or less prominent poster in the course of making fun of the idiots who love the status quo.

Jesus christ, he posts this right as I'm explaining why people in this thread are worthless. Just like always, they immediately jump on whatever out they can find to dismiss the argument that makes them uncomfortable. "This guy sounds depressed and unstable and vulnerable", "he must be a fuckin idiot, he doesn't know what he's talking about", "his personal experience is worthless garbage that doesn't actually count!". It doesn't matter that this guy represents the starting point for the people bringing hatred and fascism to a country near you, all that matters is that you can find some way to ignore what he's saying.

This poster is too comfortable to even confront the idea that not everyone has it as good as he does, much less listen to what any of them are saying. You expect anything from me other than hostility to these people?

Clam Down is the perfect example of what I'm talking about. The guy has clearly never had to worry about anything significant in his entire life, but as long as he can brag about how our country is slightly better than the joke nation we live next door to he'll never accept anything that indicates that something is wrong here. He can't respond with anything other than exactly what I just said he would:

Sargon gets almost half a million views on average on each video he makes, and each one of those people has more influence over the state of affairs of their country than any number of simpletons who are perfectly happy with the status quo and don't try to convince anyone that anything's wrong or make any real difference fighting against these nazi-wannabes. You can keep telling yourself that the pathetic alt-right clowns are nothing harmful or really anything to worry about, but just because we can all see from our position of privilege and comfort how pathetic they are, there's a huge base of people just like this twitter account who can't see it from where they are. The more you work to ostracize them and tell them that they don't count, the more polo-shirt dipshit nazis you help to create.

I know nobody in this thread actually cares about making a difference, but this one seems obvious enough to be a given.

Is a tax question allowed here? Since loving Pallister is only allowing me to claim $500 out of the $4100 tuition tax credits I had this year and the whole thing is over next year, is there any way for me to transfer the remaining credits to someone or something? Or is that just gone?
