Kenney has so many enemies in his caucus it could be anyone Considering its derek fildebrandt, whose political career was completely destroyed by kenney when wildrose and ucp merged, he's got a serious axe to grind and lots of contacts within cabinet. I find this whole thing hilarious, it's totally petty conservative infighting

Maybe not everyone to begin with, we could start with eliminating Calvinism and see how that works out as a start. calvinism. that's the one where you make up the rules as you go, right?

That's the one where God knows from the moment of birth whether or not you're a good Christian, and your entirely life is spent performing the role of being innately superior to everyone else. That being said, Christianity is the way it is because it got married to the capitalist/colonialist project of states. In the same way that I wouldn't equate all forms of Judaism with Israel, or all forms of Islam with the Saudis, I keep in mind the several forms of liberatory Christianity that exist, and that athiest like Richard Dawkins have essentially become apologists for empire anyway, just substituting in rational humanism for Christianity as to the reason Europe was right to genocide the world.

With time religion will go away on its own as a major cultural force. The Internet broke that spell I think, we're all way less religious than our parents. It would be nice to eliminate the special place the Catholic Church holds within Canadian society, though. Do they really need their own separate school board in Ontario, for example, given their history and contemporary irrelevance?

There's no upside to any party getting rid of it - the people who think it shouldn't exist are at most sort of mildly annoyed by it, and it isn't going to make the top 10 list of anyone's voting priorities, and there's a smaller group of people who absolutely will not vote for you if you advocate getting rid of it.

Jenica Atwin apparently crossing the aisle and ditching the Greens for the Liberal Party. I'm guessing that Annamie Paul's chief staffer hasn't been winning many friends in the party when he started harassing the other sitting MPs and accusing them of being antisemitic for not endorsing Israelis murdering civilians in Gaza.

This will forever confuse me. Dont the majority of Canadians support Palestine and disagree with the Israeli governments constant forays into civilian murder? Why is every one of our federal parties still running in the opposite direction?

The media presents an extremely "both sides" narrative which is shockingly the dominant view most Canadians have. But even then, most Canadians that think "well both sides are bad" can see the massive power imbalance and that's only increasing. Our politicians are lagging way behind on this issue, but politicians rarely follow popular opinion. There needs to be groups of very well organized pro-Palestinian special interest groups with proven voting reliability before our political class will take a risk on anything.

Canadians support Israel because they are a settler nation who treat the settled as less than people, just like us. e: To acknowledge that there's something fundamentally wrong in Israel requires Canadians to admit the same thing about our country, and a lot of Canadians won't ever do that.

After the 2014 Gaza War, a handful more Canadians supported Israel than did Palestine - that has probably evened up after the last one. But the actual majority probably think that the issue is too complicated and unpleasant to think about.

So apparently Pallister still hasn't actually said what his plans are for reopening Manitoba. How the gently caress are we over a year into the pandemic, and over a month after poo poo had officially hit the fan for Manitoba, and he's still just kinda shrugging and going "I unno. I mean, we have ideas on what to do, but... I unno. Maybe we can open for Canada Day or something?" Also, if we had no plans on how to reopen after poo poo hit the fan, WHAT THE gently caress WAS RESTARTMB? I mean, in theory you had a plan from before! Why not just... oh, I unno... STICK TO THE PLAN YOU loving NUMBNUT. Or crib the reopening plan from *checks notes* LITERALLY ANY OTHER PROVINCE. I mean, even Doug "Denser than particularly dense osmium" Ford managed to pull SOMETHING out of his rear end.

There has been some hoopla in the Green party recently over Israel and anti-semitism, with recently-elected leader Annamie Paul (who converted to Judaism 20 years ago) making a mealy-mouthed both sides non-statement, then getting push back from her own party and blaming anti-semitism: So now the Green MP who tweet that criticism, Jenica Atwin, has crossed the floor to join the Liberals, a party famous for their frank and honest criticism of Israel's human rig.... wait what? quote:"It certainly played a role," she said, when asked whether a recent dispute over Green Party Leader Annamie Paul's public statements about the Middle Eastern conflict pushed her to join the Liberals. Paul has been accused of ignoring established party policy on Israel.  I'd call her a craven opportunist, but she did this for apparently absolutely nothing in return, so ... what...?

Yeah, this is confusing as hell. I voted for Atwin, and I still can't figure out what I feel here as the Green Party federally has become a poo poo show but the Liberals are, well, the Liberals. I hope she's not naive enough to think that she is going to accomplish anything other than finally giving the Liberals their "think Green, vote Red" chip to play in the next election.

Oh poo poo the nurses went on strike? About drat time. I know they're going to get a ton of flak from idiots, but nurses have really been treated like poo poo by Pallister's government ever since he came in and this was a long time coming. I hope they're able to get what they rightly deserve after all this time (as in, proper contracts, higher pay and overall better working conditions, not the other implication of "what they deserve").

Pretty damning indictment of the PCs handling of the situation, but then Pallister thinks increased labour disputes and strikes are a sign he's doing a good job because somebody is "sticking up for the taxpayers." I hope they get all their demands met.

Paul is up right now to It might be a nothingburger movement that accomplishes little more than loving the Greens, but maybe don't foster hatred in your own party by calling people antisemites when they call you out for being a mealy mouthed void on human rights abuses.
