Depuis le 18 décembre dernier, une condamnation pour conduite avec facultés affaiblies enclenche automatiquement le processus de renvoi des étrangers. Not a conviction. A charge.

xpost from dem primary:Sedge and Bee posted:I actually hate Jagmeet as much I hate Trudeau because I saw all my NDP compatriots cheer the idea of Trudeau+PoC as the ultimate trump card, only to watch him tank whatever chance the NDP had to be a credible opposition. He's definitely the reason Trudeau will probably get a second term because the NDP is basically DoA now. what did jagmeet do? I haven't kept up with canadian politics for like two years now

failed to declare support for Full Communism Now, dooming the NDP to insignificance compared to the electoral juggernaut that is the Communist Party of Canada

E: There's no point to the NDP if it won't significantly differentiate itself from the Liberals. Otherwise it dooms itself to being Liberal-lite forever.

the current NDP is co-opted by centrists who use it to disenfranchise the young who have funny ideas about better things being possible it can be turned around but it will take a concentrated effort to do so, and not enough left people are really politically active in canada to do that

And they called me once to stuff envelopes asking for donations. That was it.

infernal machines posted:Just out of curiosity, what were you expecting? I don't know, something more. I wanted to canvas or fundraise or something, or at least talk with people to see if other action could be taken. The provincial NDP candidate for my riding (who won) was and is much more involved and holds regular meetings and townhalls and stuff. But the NDP is just electoralism, I was naive to expect anything else, I realize now.

This article just makes me real sad for the federal NDP: https://www.thestar.com/politics/federal/2019/01/14/ndp-takes-out-12m-mortgage-on-jack-layton-building.html Such a mess.

Don't feel bad for the party. Feel bad for the people they're failing with their tepid centrism and Jagmeet's pathological need to be liked and get along with everybody

In times like this it's important to remember that while we like to think of politics as a horse race where everything is either a win or a loss for Trudeau or Singh or Scheer as individuals, actually politics affects all of us and the things that happen are wins or losses for millions of people. Passing something like pharmacare wouldn't be a win for the NDP, it would be a win for Canada as a whole, while doing things like buying pipelines that can't be built may be a loss for Trudeau, but it's also a loss for the entire country.

https://twitter.com/richard680news/status/1085931146095976448 People are rightfully focusing on how insanely awful the OSAP change is, but the "no student fees" is a big deal too. The point of the move is to deny campus organizations funding. I remember about a decade ago when people from Queen's snuck someone into an OPC youth meeting and got a recording of people there (most notably Kevin Wiener, who sometimes gets RTed in the Canadian politics twitter hellsphere) talking about a campaign to make student fees non-mandatory with the goal of gutting OPIRG.

Student fee-funded organizations like student government, student newspapers, student radio stations, etc., also act as stepping stones for a lot of careers that conservative politicians hate.
