I borrowed a method of computer to post this, As promised,, the story of the people we caught at LPC HQ. Now as soon as you insiders know, if you heard the rumors, LPC operations has a significant change going (I'll reveal detais when public, and it has nothing to do with politics to be fair). Anyways, we think that's why these two guys showed up, to snoop around and confirm the rumour. Anyways, these two dudes, mid twenties, show up on Friday after, wearing blue blazers. They could not have advertised better unless they were wearing Skippy's polo shirt. Anyways, for clarity, LPC staffers will be named S1, S2 etc....while these two chucklefucks will be c1/c2. Start scene, c1/c2 enter stage left from the elevators. c1/c2: Hello, we are very interested in your policies, could you please print us off them, so we can read them? s1: Certainly, we have some copies in the mail room, just a sec. (S1 make a quick call, behind soundproof glass, then rejoins them) s1: Here you go Enter s2 from meting room s2: Hello gentlemen, how are you? I heard you are interested in us. Which riding are you in? C1: Um...Otttawa West Nepean. S2: Great, do you know who our candidate is there? C2: ummmm.....Anita Vandbeld? S2: Great and do you know who the Conserative Candidate there is? c1/c2: (Instantly, and in Stereo) Abdul Abdi There is a pause as c1 and c2 realized their gaffe, and that we know that they know that we know who they are. Enter S3, who was in the same meeting room listening in. s3: Hey guys thanks for stopping by! How about we take a photo under than nice big Liberal Logo on the wall. c1: Uh, actually, I think we gotta get going now. Enter s4, also in meeting room. S4: No no, everyone has been doing it today. We've been taking photo after photo. Come on, it will be fun! C2: It's ok, we gotta run! Exunt C1/C2/ S1: Thanks for the help. While they were distracted, got their photo on my cell. Let's see if we can figure out who they are. Hal man, you gotta learn how to shave properly.

They're probably the ones too useless to fill the comment feeds of all the news stories with blatantly fake facebook accounts that spew right wing garbage like a magic 8 ball, so they send them on day trips like this instead to get them out of the office and maybe do a shred of good for them.

Most people just assume that Trudeau is a federal version of Christy Clark, which given how substanceless they both are it plays out. Ironically it was the BC Liberals who were considering changing their name, because they didn't want to have their conservative credentials tarnished by the federal Liberals.

A good 95% of the electorate is made up of low information voters, and I'm probably lowballing it here. I used to have a better impression of people and their political acumen, but then I started volunteering with political campaigns that involved actually talking to a wide variety of people.

Baronjutter posted:Nice OP, specially love the green party write up. The greens are really gearing up after the super close election in Victoria last time, I might even do the unthinkable and volunteer with the NDP this time. Please, its gonna be CLOSE AS poo poo here. The greens are pouring so much money into the riding - they've had a campaign office open for months already. It's extra stupid because the NDP incumbent, Murray Rankin, is probably the most environmentally minded politician that I've ever known.

There's tons of low information voters on the Left. For example all those people that that rage against Harper due to some minor niche issue like marijuana legalization, net neutrality or copyright extension and then "strategically vote" for the wrong candidate in the election due to doing zero reading and research at all.

(This is not the ekos poll from that tweet)quote:Mulcair leads election poll on economy So long as Canada's economy continues to be teetering on disaster that last simple and direct bolded line from Lavigne will work well for the NDP. Even my generally optimistic, conservative supporting father thinks we're in for a rough patch ahead, so surely many Canadians are thinking that the economy is not great and are open to a new approach. Interestingly Mulcair polls ahead of the NDP. Folks like him and trust him. Femtosecond has issued a correction as of 17:03 on Jul 27, 2015 |

Small business tax cuts and new tax credits. Urggggh. Is there a single bit of scholarship suggesting that small business tax cuts are an effective stimulus or good for anything really? I mean they are how the Australian Liberal Party is trying to pander to its base. Don't be like them.

Really, he's kind of a likeable Canadian everyman sort of guy who people recognize would be a good administrator and can make the hard choices, but still has a relateable personality. Trudeau has the same relateable personality, but his combination of relative youth and political pedigree leaves an avenue of attack about his competence, regardless of whether it's a valid concern or not. We've seen the Conservatives push as hard as they can to coalesce that doubt in people's minds with their attack ad campaign, so unfortunately for the Liberals it might stick. And then we have Harper, who's never been seen as a particularly likeable or relateable person, but has tried to push the 'competent steward of the economy' shtick with success. If the Liberals and NDP put the pressure on that obviously false pretence, Esp. With the state of the economy these days, we may finally see the end of this 9 year long farce of a government. This leaves the Liberals with the tough job of propping up Canadian's opinion of Justin's competence and reliability, which will be an uphill battle that they have to fight while simultaneously discrediting the NDP. The NDP really just need to get more face and name recognition for Mulcair out there, 'cause he's really got all the right cards to be seen as a great statesmen by a lot of Canadians, while continuing to prop up their economic platform and easing people's conditioned fear of the left. Harper and the Conservatives really need to find a way to undermine Mulcair and the NDP, because if they keep soaring up in the polls at the expense of the Liberals, it's really going to cut into their advantage that the split vote on the center left gives them. I'm feeling pretty loving good about the NDP this election. Can't wait for those debates with Stevie's empty podium.

I don't remember anything about Mulcair and Trudeau not going to the debate ever coming up in the news, but I do remember reading that Mulcair would be at pretty much every one of the debates. This was a few months ago though so I'm not sure what the current situation is on that

Simply Not True peach moonshine posted:I thought Mulcair and Trudeau weren't going to show up to the MacLean's debate, since Harper isn't showing up to the consortium debate? Nah, everyone's showing up to Macleans. Mulcair has said he's going to every debate he's invited, Trudeau has come short of saying that but will be at the TVA and Globe/Munk debates as well.

Her new movie, Trainwreck, is packing the theatres. People love her chipmunk cheeks, her pudgy arms and her really dirty funny mouth. They love the way she turns the tables on men, and discards them like tissue. Her character, also named Amy, flaunts her sexual freedom and scorns the bourgeois life of dull monogamy. In one scene, she brings a suburban baby shower to a crashing halt when she describes the time a condom got stuck to her cervix.
