Perhaps "encouraging" vaccination was the wrong approach. I seem to remember being absolutely required to have certain vaccinations before I was allowed to return to school in the early 2000s. I cannot for the life of me imagine why this wouldn't be the case here.

I get a sick satisfaction hearing an anti-vaxxer getting covid and then put into a coma cause they refused to get it. On CBC Manitoba this morning there was a woman crying and begging people to get it cause they refused and now her husband is in a coma. Play stupid games... etc. It's the easiest loving thing to do for 99% of people. Just get the loving jab.

Saw something go by about how vaccine mandates may undermine trust in the public health system. I would think that's been thoroughly covered by many other (in)actions this past year and a half?

If they fled Laos during the civil war there's a good chance they were fleeing the communists. Much like with the cuban diaspora, or the post WWII migration of Ukrainians that poisoned the prairies, there's usually a reason these groups vote conservative. VVVV Also true.

It can also be religiously-driven. A huge percentage of Catholic/Christian churches will just flat out tell their congregations to go vote Conservative.

Eat poo poo wokescolds.  What Beelzebufo said is probably what's happening here. It's a common thing to have happen. It's not normally a "FYGM" thing but rather a reaction, often unwarranted, to past experience. Sometimes it's also a naive belief that the destination country is a land of opportunity and that they are future millionaires who have a vested interest in supporting Conservatives.

American conservatives are way too outright white supremacist to realize a ton of immigrants have come from places where communism and thus anything "left" is associated with brutal oppression, and or they've come from a country with extremely conservative social/religious norms. Canadian conservatives have that poo poo unfortunately figured out.

Also I would guess that "this country I've moved to is much better than the country I left (regardless of reason), let's not gently caress it up" is a common sentiment. A pretty lovely one, but still.

in the case of my local Lao community, i think it's mostly a divide of old world traditionalist refugees and young liberal Canadians who were born here. conservatism just aligns with their culture (presitge + wealth being paramount importance for family success, traditional family values/structure, etc.), or at least the culture of Laos when they left, and their extreme disdain for taxes doesn't help. most of them have interests in small businesses in the Lao community which fuels that hatred of taxes/reinforces the idea that hard work got them where they were. their kids and grandkids are mostly a lot more liberal and Canadianized from attending public schools here and don't have much love for their parents rigid traditionalism. the thing that always kills me is most of the old guys are still "practicing" Buddhists but anti-charity, anti-immigrant, etc., i guess in much the same way as christians in our culture i guess what i'm saying is it's really the same old poo poo with old people voting cons, doesn't matter the background Bleck posted:I don't know how much more clear it can be that North America is where the nazis flee to. lol, the pathet lao are "communist" in name but absolutely nazi's in practice, right down to the genocide. there was no nazis vs communists in Laos

Bleck posted:I don't know how much more clear it can be that North America is where the nazis flee to. in the case of the Ukrainians post WWII most definitely. Otherwise it really depends. The groups using the name "communist" vary a lot in different parts of the world, and I know for example that a lot of Cambodian refugees vote conservative because of the Khmer Rouge, even thought the Pol Pot was insane and genocidal to the point that communist Vietnam felt the need to intervene. Once they get here though, it all filters through our particular culture war around the term.

Trudeau (and Biden I guess) should just announce that they're giving away 99% of our vaccines to African countries - if anti-vaxxers want to act like children, it's best to treat them as such. Cue the right wing outrage that Trudeau is daring to help non-white people. I think we're well past the point where encouraging people to get vaxxed is the right thing; at this point it's just fueling the moronic take of "the government wants me to take it, they must have ulterior motives for doing so".

Once we do plateau I'm all for offloading our excess shots onto countries in need. Any argument for why that's a bad thing can be countered by saying "you've had months to get your shot, maybe try exercising some of that personal responsibility you're always going on about."

Had a neighbour with all manner of crazy signs including one that alluded to dying for their beliefs before being silenced. Well they put their house up for sale and suddenly all the signs were gone! They'll die for the cause! ... unless it impacts then financially. Just tax the fuckers and watch them line the gently caress up to piss on their "beliefs". If they still relent, keep taxing them until they need to use some of those government services they hate so deeply. Or just toss em all into a lake.

Bowman would be good if their strategy is to completely separate themselves from the politics of Pallister completely, I was under the impression that everyone in Winnipeg hates Bowman though. CTV floated James Bezan and Candice Bergen as possibilities as well, if Trudeau ever follows through and calls this stupid federal election we may find out pretty quick who would jump down from MP to Premier.

Apparently this week UOttawa mandated vaccinations for on-campus learners. Have they got any substantial pushback on this? I haven't been able to find any enraged responses from the OCP but then I haven't been looking hard. Anyhow I happen to be on the board of a largish university on the prairies and gently caress it, I'm gonna go yell at admin about mandatory vaxxes.
