xtal posted:All taxes disproportionately affect poor people because taxes are why poor people exist, hth There's probably a modifier on this that makes it make a bit more sense like "vice" or maybe the idea that corporations will pass taxes onto the customers, but if we're talking income tax, we have tax brackets for a reason. If taxes disproportionally hurt the poor, its because the rich aren't paying their share. Don't blame the taxes, blame the rich & the loopholes.

So basically the right's version of occupy wallstreet got grifted 10 times worse than occupy wallstreet. The right, failing hard and failing fast.

The Liberals spent $4.5 billion on an Albertan pipeline to keep the possibility of the Trans mountain expansion alive. Doing so was a betrayal of their environment based campaign. And yet, according to most Albertans, Trudeau is the most anti-pipeline Prime Minister in history. It does not matter what he does, he's wrong. Trudeau's best move is probably to give up on Alberta and those three Liberal seats in favour of becoming the heretofore imaginary villain (which is, not coincidentally, to be his father).

But you see if Conservatives were in power there would be pipelines everywhere. We'd replace all of our roads with pipelines and ride to work in gushers of oil like waterslides. Every man, woman, and child in Canada would be a millionaire.

As soon as Trudeau stepped into the PMs Office, the Cons were screaming to impeach him even though it isn't a thing. On Xtal, he is an anarchist and hates any group of people that has any semblance of authority. In practice this means picking on organizations that have astoundingly little authority i.e. defacing TTC vehicles.

There was a popular boomerpost on LinkedIn in the oil industry the other day who was screaming about how he wanted a federal program to guarantee an oil price so we could sell Ethical Alberta Oil™ to Ontario instead of Saudizuelan murder grease. Almost like some kind of national energy program. Sounds good to me.

Any Quebec posters know how le bloc quebecois is doing these days? I wonder how the political landscape might look if the party is able to pick up support currently held by the ndp, making for some ridings a 5 way race between the libs, the cons, the ndp, the bloc and Maxime's new party....

Their new leader is pretty appealing, they're pivoting back to a centre-left/green position instead of the ultra-sovereigntist positioning they had under Ouellette, and they're polling a whole lot better than the NDP. They've got potential to be a real force again if the collapse of the NDP in Québec continues.

It also sucked to lose Methot who was the only defenceman who could cover Karlsson.
