Mr. Apollo posted:”Trudeau is too woke/too much of a SJW.” Is what a lot of Conservative voters are telling me. NDP and Liberal voters generally give me some vague policy (real or imagined) reason why they’re voting for their party. However, a lot of Conservative voters seem to be driven by anger at Trudeau for a reason they can’t really elaborate on. It reminds me a lot of the anger against Wynne, with a lot of the rage against Trudeau seeming to be similarly misogynistic in nature.

They largely agree with the actual bad things Trudeau has done so they have to make up an imaginary version that's a diehard stalinist

Yeah pretty much. They were calling it back in 2015 but it’s really weird to see it in person. There’s plenty to criticize him on but they best most of them seem to do is just a general deep seated anger towards him.Yinlock posted:They largely agree with the actual bad things Trudeau has done so they have to make up an imaginary version that's a diehard stalinist

If Canada really is constantly 4 years behind the state's then we are finally entering the stage of politics where the right enters Trumpian spite ie voting against someone out of spite moreso than for someone. See also: doing stupid things to own the libs, hating any left leaning policy that benefits you etc.

I just got a PPC flyer in the mail. Apparently the candidates for Toronto-St. Pauls and Davenport are husband and wife, and they made one leaflet for three ridings. Also, all the candidates and the local campaign group are using free Gmail addresses.

I do smile whenever I see a car with a MyLocalDoggyDaycare@telusplanet.net decal or whatever. I realize not everyone knows how to register a domain etc. but still. It's not that hard.

If you're working with something on the scale of a national party in a federal election campaign, someone somewhere should probably have a clue. It's one thing for a local crank running as an independent, but beyond that spend the money and set up proper email for your candidates.

ZeeBoi posted:Oh poo poo the Parry Sound-Muskoka candidate is Revolver Ocelot Official Policy of Multiculturalism I am personally opposed to the Official policy of Multiculturalism. It encourages immigrants to keep the values and culture they left behind instead of integrating into Canadian society and adopting Canadian values and culture. In a free society, immigrants have the right to cherish and maintain their cultural heritage, but not at the expense of taxpayers. what the hell are canadian values

...or if you mention "Trudeau" or the "NEP" to an Albertan. That any seats in 2015 went to the Liberals is testament to how sick and tired some of us were about Harper basically pulling the football away the moment he got elected to a majority. Otherwise smart, thoughtful people start frothing at the mouth and start looking for the nearest pitchfork when the subject is brought up of energy resource policy under the Liberals during the 1970s and 80s. It's truly bizarre, and I was born and raised here.

I don't know if Alberta's production would have allowed it to hit Norway numbers, but it is sort of amazing that despite Norway having modeled their sovereign wealth fund for oil after Alberta, Alberta only has something like $16 bn. in their fund while Norway has over $1.2 trillion now.

I feel like Giant Tiger is even lower than Zellers. It’s basically a step above Dollarama. Good nursing scrubs tho according to my wife.

Canadian values is the immense pride I feel every time I walk past the original Giant Tiger in the Market. Wait also maybe the BeaverTails location there. But for real, there's a sign saying something like "Tour Buses Welcome" hanging in front of a decrepit alley at that Giant Tiger and I do not want to believe that there are actual tour buses that include the original location of a discount store on their tour. Like that's the follow-up to seeing Parliament or something.

Arc Hammer posted:I'd rather not do another year of waiting for things to get bad and then only reacting after it's way too late. Yeah but it was abundantly clear that this is what was going to happen pretty much all summer. Despite being in a worse situation, restrictions are way lower right now. It sucks too because we were maybe on the cusp of keeping Delta at a steady state or even dropping, but there's basically no way IMO that schools aren't going to push the Rt way above 1 again.

He then ran past the woman's clothing isle, and dissapeared behind a pile of opened Skunk Man (He Man) figurines. I like to think he is still there, 30 years later.

I'm well aware, I have two kids in school myself. I'm checking the numbers in my area and in the province everyday. You're probably right, but lets give it a few weeks and see what happens by Thanksgiving before we start freaking out.
