Even if that was true (it’s not but the party fills out the questionnaire themselves so it’s due to the questions chosen), it’s weird that so many people including myself are getting Green Party as the party they most agree with even though they’re further away on the chart than NDP Edit: actually I think they only asked the parties when they couldnt find a public position. The greens have a lot of answers supplied directly to vote compass Starks fucked around with this message at 14:41 on Sep 17, 2019 |

I will repeat once again that imo there are serious problems with Vote Compass's methodology and I base this on both their past coverage of electoral campaigns and personally knowing some of the people who founded and worked at the company that makes it. We've gone over this before in the CanPol thread so I don't really want to do a big effortpost on it right now, but I can elaborate if anyone wants.

Vote Compass is brought to you by Vox Pop Labs, the ding dongs who made MyDemocracy.ca It is a poor attempt to replicate the original political compass  It appears I'm an anarcho-eco-socialist:  I must surrender to Jason Kenney's Ministry of unAlbertan Activities

We've gone over this before in the CanPol thread so I don't really want to do a big effortpost on it right now, but I can elaborate if anyone wants. Yeah, on top of a binary left/right framework being inadequate to a lot of this (is "How much financial assistance should the federal government provide to first-time home buyers?" a left or right-wing position? How about "the government should offer a guaranteed minimum income?"), these people are just bad at phrasing questions. I think the child care q is the worst example: "The government should fund child care centres instead of giving money directly to parents." If you think the Canada Child Benefit shouldn't be cut but the government should also massively invest in child care, it's unclear what you should answer here. The NDP ended up giving VC a statement that said "uh we don't want to cut the CCB", which VC translated as "somewhat disagree", a right-wing position, and the Greens have a commitment to universal childcare in their platform (without mentioning the CCB), and they get coded as left-wing, but it's... real dumb.

I think it might be worth it when you have some time. It's an election after all, and between this and the strategic voting sites that inevitably get linked here every single time, it's probably worth explaining this bullshit at least once so we can quote it whenever some good natured soul bumbles in and asks. This is just behind those "based on recent polls and our proprietary methodology, you should vote Liberal" strategic voting sites in terms of absolute hokum. infernal machines fucked around with this message at 15:07 on Sep 17, 2019 |

This is what gets me going: http://www.collegeofhomeopaths.on.ca Why do we allow these fraudsters to continue their very honestly completely unethical and literal crimes. Even if you're pro hippy woo medicine, none of their products do anything (except for the ones that occasionally contain random toxic chemicals) and should be prosecuted under every fraud and trade statute.

On one hand I can respect May for her continued long service as a lone MP (until Guelph), but at the same time the Green Party here will never, ever achieve success, imo, until they can find someone who understands that they need to give up some of the fringe.

Hey hey, Trudeau proposed another tax cut nominally for the middle class but that is effectively a handout for high income folks: truly tax free parental leave money, not like that CPC "15% tax credit" that was panned by a few people. Have a summer baby and take a year of parental leave while in a 50% tax bracket? You're going to save 2x 6k in tax. Some random low income person? yeah, maybe they'll save a couple dozen bucks more than the 15% credit from the Conservatives. Edit: Does high income save twice what I just said? In a hurry, I forget how much EI pays at maxed out rate. 4k/mo or 2k? James Baud fucked around with this message at 19:28 on Sep 17, 2019 |
