I think most people here are on the same page, it's just that some people are angry at the liberals for sucking poo poo (true), and some people are posting reminders that conservatives tangibly suck even more poo poo and that keeping them out of power is a sensible political goal (also true).

Reince Penis posted:Saying that both parties are the same was true 20 years ago, but because the conservative movement has shifted so far right it really isn't true anymore. How do you figure? I think many would agree the libs have gone more right (atleast towards big business) in past 10 years, when the conservatives have essentially told their members certain old positions like abortion or gay marriage are no longer arguable and a part of todays canada. They seem closer to me than ever.

My god it'd be loving hilarious if the Republic of Costa Rica seized his property and barred him from entry, forcing him to actually live in the province he 'governs'.

Remember when Sam Katz was the mayor of Winnipeg, but claimed his primary residence as a home in Phoenix, Arizona because that gave him a massive US property tax break, Manitoba has some of the most corrupt politicians.

Maybe we should be like Belgium and just not have a sitting government for a few years. Things seemed to function more or less the same during that gap. Maybe if the same thing happened here it would be a reality check that on a local level that most people operate on, things will remain the same regardless of who, if anyone, is in power.

Belgium is very different, and is super fractured and hyper-regionalized. They have even more language tension that Canada/Quebec does.

Jesus, the Manitoba PCs are out fundraising the NDP 3:1, the MB Liberals are getting next to nothing. 2.3m for PCs, 700k for the NDP and 150k for the Liberals. The NDP and the Liberals are sitting cash positive with their debts paid off from the last election. The PCs raised personal contributions from $3000 to $5000 and eliminated the per vote subsidy in their first month.

I love a free and open democracy quote:The Tories finished the year with $1.1 million in cash, compared to $86,000 for the NDP and $54,000 for the Liberals. Oh and Ad spending is unlimited during the campaign quote:They were previously forbidden to spend more than $268,000 on ads outside of a campaign period in an election year. The law passed last year limits the cap to 90 days before a campaign begins.

just another posted:Are they really "so far right" relative to 20 years ago? I mean Stockwell Day was a Young Earth Creationist. Stockwell Day was a part of the movement that literally took 'Progressive' out of the Progressive Conservative party. There is no place for red tories in the Conservative party anymore. That's my point, they've excised the more moderate parts of their coalition leaving only the far right elements.

It's Christie Blatchford and the National Post, so yes. They're striking while the iron is hot, because TPS was once again dis-invited from Pride and a whole lotta folks got feelings about that.

It was a move designed to make evidence based decision making impossible, rather than just unlikely, which is particularly heinous IMO.

Nationalize the National Post and put Blatchford in the Gulags

The gulags had to be closed down because entitled, lazy Canadians felt they were too good to work at prison camps in the NWT for minimum wage, and red tape bureaucracy makes it too difficult for TFWs to be certified as guards.

Is it not the ultimate result of marginalizing a group of people and shirking responsibility to protecting them: someone can murder those people with impunity?

I believe that it is well established that when gay and indigenous peoples feel the shadow of death, they seek out a large pipe in a construction yard in which to stuff the themselves before dying of natural causes repeatedly to the head.
