Nothing made me want to frivolously waste funds more than people telling me I was wasting "the queen's money" or that waste was an "insult to the queen". Turning up the heater (not that it ever worked) in the LSVW wastes the queen's money? Turn it up all the way!  No comment. She paid good money for those licence built Italian trucks…

I do honestly love that horrible little truck. I light up every time I see one. They should keep them in service until the end of time, always adding more weight to it and never more engine power.

My fondest memories of my service are in that vehicle climbing a mild incline doing like 50 with the pedal to the metal and the engine going somewhere around 4000 rpms. I would always do a scotty impression. Equally fun was then getting it up over 80 coming down the other side of a hill and feeling like the whole thing was about to shake apart.

I’ve never had to physically put the pedal to the metal in anything else, and in the Iveco it was to get up to 80 on a downhill onramp. Still thought I was going to die. e: Exactly lol special memories

Wow, that would be something to see. The signals LSVW is a lot heavier than the canvas backed one too, but has no extra power. That poor little 4 cylinder just isn't up to the job, turbocharged or not. I only had good experiences with it off road though, I could always get myself out of mud or snow with ease when I got stuck. I even got to ford a small river in NB, that was fun, not deep at all but still cool. We probably weren't supposed to do that, environmental impact and all, but it was fun.

Apparently, the trucks can be up-armored. Can't imagine the dog poo poo performance when you add even more weight.

This may be out of left field but someone accused me of "remembering Stephen Harper wrong" when I said I thought he sucked as bad as Trudeau. Am I wrong? Am I remembering wrong? I'm willing to accept that "Stephen Harper sucks" was just a meme I bought into but it's so hard to remember things from last year let alone 2015 that maybe I just bought into misinfo.

On a purely economic front yes I'd agree with you, but you just know Harper would be pushing through a trans bill, drag ban, and/or done something to abortion by now.

Harper has infinitely more awful deeds to his legacy, but as with all conservatives he did his awful things with either direct Liberal support and approval, or implicit support stemming from Liberal indifference, non-resistance and their unwillingness to scale back the reactionary political project.

he shut down the abortion debate and re-litigating the legalization of gay marriage because he rightly viewed them as unpopular outside his base. no one since has been smart enough or capable enough to keep their mouths shut and their people in line when it comes to things like that and it's very probably why they haven't formed a government since. at some point trudeau will gently caress up badly enough or pass the torch to someone like freeland, we'll get another PC government, and all that poo poo will come roiling to the surface immediately

In comparison to how awful all the various conservatives and republicans have been since him, Harper seems pretty mild tbh. "Oh no he cut funding for studying fish in lakes" is kind of a nothingburger compared your average Trump anything. Some of the worst things he implemented was mandatory minimums and those were kiboshed by the courts, and he wasn't able to get pipelines built as Trudeau put an end to the Northern Gateway Pipeline immediately. Harper was so concerned about the long term project of building a Conservative apparatus that could unseat the Liberals as the "natural governing party" that he didn't try to push for any of the truly awful things that his backbenchers and supporters would have wanted. I don't think there's any argument that Trudeau was worse than Harper tho.

People have studied this more in the States but I wouldn’t be shocked if there’s been regional and class separation within the Conservative coalition. Finance, extraction, industry, the Maritimes, Ontario, the West, these are all pretty different even if they’re on the same “side” of capital accumulation. The Truckers seem to hint at that fraying.

Harper very much made Jason Kenney's career, not sure how promoting the guy repeatedly to increasingly senior cabinet positions was tamping him down. Harper had message discipline sure (in a bygone era where that was still possible) but there was no daylight between his real agenda and what the Jason Kenney's in his caucus wanted to get up.
