Ego-bot posted:https://twitter.com/Emilie_Ni/status/1437190851248201730?s=20 Also the question is more broad, reporter asks what O'Toole would do if a province passed legislation about like "workers' rights, say, or access to abortion" and he basically talks about how provinces should have jurisdiction over the things they have jurisdiction over. The tweet someone manages to mangle and ignore the context while including the clip, which is impressive. O'Toole sucks, we don't need to make up bullshit about him.

It's loving wild to me that the conservative premieres across the country are underwater on every loving poll for their poo poo policies and overt hatred of their own constituents and they represent the past, present, and future of the federal conservative party and yet somehow this election is 'close'. It's all so loving stupid and I'm so very tired of everything sucking.

Trapick posted:Have the Liberals done *anything* about abortion? Still no clinics in the North, PEI, Nova Scotia, Sask, right? This literally sounds like their policy as well, they just never talk about it. O'Toole even says he's pro choice and that criminal code and medical access are federal jurisdiction. They did at least threaten to pull money from NB's health transfer when they shut down their clinic.

UnknownMercenary posted:The Harris government did way more to gently caress up the province but I will never hear endlessly about Rae Days. It's the media. They seared that poo poo into genetic memory for all who live in Ontario. If the NDP ever win a major industrial/financial center again we are in for a vicious smear campaign. Quietly axing social programs while engaging in a program of aggressive privatization of public funds is something you can easily gloss over as a journalist and nobody notices.

Kraftwerk posted:And since everyone has the memory of a goldfish and the other parties are largely weak and ineffectual we will probably have conservative premiers getting re-elected too. In Manitoba Pallister was incredibly unpopular and now that he's abandoned his position, the PCs, currently being led by the man who was the architect of one of the worst received bills in Manitoba's history (Goertzen's education bill), is set to lead the party until the former health minister (Heather Stefanson) takes over, who oversaw the dismantling of Manitoba's health system that led to the province having to fly covid cases to non-third world provinces for treatment. Bonus points for the health portfolio originally being overseen by Goertzen and also that Stefanson was the one who seconded Goertzen's education bill. This is being billed as a "fresh start" for the Manitoba PCs, who will likely get re-elected for it. It would be kind of funny if it weren't also sad and tragic.

Every thing he announces is just filed under the "ugh loving tories" box, which I realize is also wrongheaded thinking because identity politics is the opposite of discourse, but every time I try unpacking something he's proposed I'm presented with awfulness that I just can't handle, much like what happens to you when you see the last post in a thread is from me

Hand Knit posted:Convention is bad because, in cases like these, it allows for the power of the Crown to be abused. The constitutional convention that doesn't permit the governor general to impose her own political will on the country is unequivocally good, actually. Hand Knit posted:This is why the governor general is supposed to only do things that have the support of the house, because the house has some level of democratic legitimacy. No, the governor general (or the queen) is supposed to do things on the advice of the prime minister, and not act of her own accord. Again, if you're asking for the governor general to decide that she can pick and choose which advice of the prime minister's she follows, except as a last resort, you are asking for a constitutional crisis.

Oxyclean posted:Feels like goldfish memory only applies to the PCs, because boy do I always have to hear about how the ONDP hosed up that one time or whatever. Rae Days. eXXon posted:I don't see how the Green platform is the problem? It has been extensive and member-voted for decades, is usually costed*, and is mostly reasonable and consistent. The current election document, despite what are bound to be claims to the contrary, has no mentions of wifi, electro*, homeopathy, naturopathy, chiro*, etc. There are naturally things most readers here will object to, such as nuclear power bans, and whatever this is: My mistake, I should not have said platform without having read their current published platform, which hopefully the other registered Green party candidates have also had a chance to read now.

This literally sounds like their policy as well, they just never talk about it. O'Toole even says he's pro choice and that criminal code and medical access are federal jurisdiction. I think the general opinion about abortion in this country is 'it's fine as it is, just don't make any changes'. So all one has to do to be on the right side of the issue is preserve the status quo, which is all the Liberals have to do to look good in this situation. As to whether O'Toole is pro-choice or pro-life, it really doesn't matter here. What he's saying for the cameras is that he won't overrule any Premier like Ford, Kenny, or whatever hypothetical fundie that takes provincial power in the future. O'Toole also says he's pro-worker, but much of his agenda is written by an Uber-lobbyist, so I'm not really inclined to take him at his word when he says he supports a woman's right to choose.

Have a gay friend who would be voting conservative except he thinks they're iffy on LGBT rights. Another who's anyone-but-NDP because they'll increase capital gains taxes. And we're all in the downtown toronto core, not rural alberta. This is a pretty right wing country.

Approx 4500 cases over the weekend in AB, 18 deaths in the last 24 hours. Seems extremely likely we're going to exceed ICU capacity unless case counts drop to like 0. Shits bad man

BC doing absolutely garbage with 2000 new cases and 9 deaths over the weekend. But they did also announce that anyone working in health care in any capacity including students has to be vaccinated or gently caress off, so that’s nice. I voted yesterday. It loving sucked and I cursed Trudeau for this stupid loving election that didn’t need to happen. At least this place is usually NDP.

189 cases of Covid in Ontario schools and one school already closed as a result. We've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas, I know it won't make much of a difference but I'd like to dream that the provincial conservative governments becoming toxic hellscapes would be enough to flatten federal conservative election aspirations by association.

We've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas, You'd think a government repeatedly and demonstrably putting your kids at risk of serious illness would leave them a radioactive smouldering crater for a generation or two. Like, "we have to rename the party" territory. However, this is Ontario and I wouldn't be surprised to see a PCPO minority in 2022. OTOH, Rae Days.
