Do we know for sure that his daughter isn't actually a good/normal person who's trying to get him to kill himself on an idiotic nonsense diet so that he can't keep recruiting people to become nazis?

By the time I tried to read the comments from That Site they were p much all deleted and the thread locked. As for Winnipeg cancelling RT, I'm hoping they at least go ahead with redesigning the transit network with the new plan they proposed, even if they have to delay the dedicated bus corridors. Maybe we'll at least get new diamond lanes (that they need to kick taxis out of again asap) more signal priority and laws making yeilding to busses mandatory.

If anyone is interested in joining the Mackenzie-Papineau Battalion to get Tio Bernie elected, Canadians can join the volunteer force. I signed up for some text-banking shifts and learned very quickly how to do it following this link: https://berniesanders.com/en/text/learn/

I've been doing it for the last week or so in my free time since I have a lot of that being laid off. Most of it is extremely fulfilling and I have some hope that a President Bernard would make the left wing in Canada get some much needed messaging boost and, more importantly, the will to grow a loving spine.

there do seem to be a bunch of journalists and randos who are becoming increasingly radicalized by the emergence of left-wing candidates in other countries, as canada is a land where we all lack imagination and we can't be bothered to draw inspiration from our own radical history, but it seems more like a collection of people on twitter who note how lovely our media is at parroting the american/british media, that's about it. it feels very generational, but there's no movement in canada to coalesce around beyond just farting out votes for the NDP I can't speak for francophones though

in my darker moments, and in a place where none of my american friends are around, i do wonder if it's better to live in a country that has a nascent political movement that can actually articulate a better vision for the future than live in one where living conditions are far better but you're just stuck in a slow downward spiral where everything that's good about it is cut over and over until its lying twisted on the ground bleeding out....political speaking it's dumb because obviously the latter -- I wouldn't be alive if I lived in the American system and there's no guarantee their political movement wont be brutally crushed -- but christ I feel very out of place with the rest of the country's politics and general outlook for the future

It's weird. Here a lot of things are objectively worse than they are in Canada. There's more visible poverty and homelessness, there's millions with no health insurance, even for those with health insurance going to the doctor can still bankrupt you, there's more overt racism against more groups of people, and on and on. And yet, maybe because of these much more visible problems, there are also real movements of people fighting tooth and nail to improve things for everyone despite all the roadblocks and all the barriers placed in their way. They can imagine a future better than what they have and they fight for it. And in Canada it's like, most people are more comfortable, we hide away our poverty and our racism a little better, we bother to give people healthcare, but maybe as a result we're also all so complacent, and no one, not even the professed leftists, are really fighting to improve things any more than a little tinkering around the edges. Not even electing our own austerity autocrats like Doug Ford or Jason Kenney seems to be mobilizing the Canadian left in any way. It's really disheartening and it seems to confirm yet again that the only way positive change will come to Canada is if it happens in the US and we get dragged along kicking and screaming.

Yeah, and I appreciate your perspective, since I don't live with the US and don't have first hand experience of what it's like to live there. I have family who are type-1 diabetic and the stories of people rationing their insulin breaks my heart every time I hear them. I feel like it'd be a huge breakthrough to overcome the entrenched interests in the US and provide universal healthcare, and it could have a positive impact on Canada given the way we seem to lag 5-10 years behind the states. Ultimately what will probably radicalize most people up here, and not always in the way we'd like, is a real estate price adjustment or a major disruption to the supply chain that fucks with our resource extraction, and then suddenly the Strong, Stable Economy will poo poo the bed.

Dreylad posted:I can't speak for francophones though Quebec's political landscape is really different than the rest of Canada, there is a party representing pretty much anything on the political spectrum (except a left leaning federalist party, which is lol). But, we're going through a political cycle with pretty heavy right wing policies and parties having the upper hand on our national level. Our media reflects that, some (like the infamous Quebec city's talking radio and JdM) parrot the usual right wing talking points, but then you can just read another paper. Radio-Canada is relatively ok and did not take the.. can I say blatant rightist editorial turn the CBC took? Sometimes I'm not even sure I'm reading CBC or the National Post. At least, lots of leftist policies are very consensual. Things like public insurance for prescription drugs, nationalized electricity. financed daycare, etc. are integral part of society. Our local libs and current gov (CAQ but you can read it as conservatives, give or take) are constantly making efforts to erode advantages and they got their media to repeat ad nauseam. Would require an effortpost to lay down what Quebec's politics is all about, but to sum it up: it's not quite the same. Plus, it's not very relevant on a national level.

im going to simplify a lot but i feel like the current leftist political movement in the states is largely the result of all the kids that lived through 9/11 and iraq watching their government gently caress everything up as much as possible for 20 years and now they are all active voters who can all come together on common goals
