Arivia posted:Why wouldn’t it be? Campaigns advertise on online services all the time, and beer pricing is something the government does control somewhat. It’s very well done targeted advertising. On an xbox, the video game console for children. But yeah, it's just an surgeon advertising about beer, not a beer ad.

So I've gotta say, I don't have a news story handy but I skimmed one earlier today and having "being white is okay" posters investigated as a hate crime strikes me as quite the propaganda coup for whoever put them up.

In light of the Globe and Mail announcing a hike in their online subscription price today, I'd just like to remind everyone that whenever you call in to cancel your subscription because "it's too expensive" that they'll give you something like six months for half price, which is (now) nearly $90 for the five minutes the call takes.

I think you'll find that any liberal leader, like Justin Trudeau, serves nicely as a far left figurehead. Everyone else is just some degree of left from ol Justin
