PK loving SUBBAN posted:I have a suspicion all the slanderous parts will be attributed to Rob, to insulate Doug and the publisher. If the purpose of the book is to raise Doug's profile in conservative circles and earn him some of that sweet, sweet wingnut welfare, it will definitely work. The actual content of the book will almost certainly be a compilation of already published newspaper articles about Liberal politicians and their drinking problems.

Jordan7hm posted:By biggest problem with this government, bigger even than stuff like the Saudi arms deal (they were getting those weapons anyway. it's bad to have blood on Canadian hands but the blood was going to be there either way), is how pisspoor a job they are doing of running the public service. They are every bit as bad as the previous government. Liberal voters posted:It doesn't matter that Justin Trudeau isn't that smart and doesn't know what he's doing because he's going to surround himself with smart people who know what they're doing. I'm willing to give the Liberals some benefit of the doubt, I assume that it would be difficult for anyone to get the public service working properly after 9 years of Harper. But if things don't start improving soon, the next election is looking pretty bleak.

Barbaric cultural practicesSocial conservative is code for Christian authoritarian. Just because they're not actively trying to stone the gays doesn't mean they've been muzzled.

Risky Bisquick posted:Petronas won't even build the pipeline because of commodity prices so this is a joke. It's a sly win for environmentalists because shovels won't hit the ground Except Christy Clark has already promised massive subsidies in the form of tax and royalty breaks, so when gas prices eventually do go up we'll get the least benefit possible from the project.

OSI bean dip posted:Funny how BC has government liquor stores that have fantastic selection. I think this must have something to do with having so many private liquor stores, leading to something resembling a competitive marketplace. The BC Liquor stores don't sell cold beer, so their niche is selection.

Brannock posted:Isn't mincome good for business? You make sure people can actually buy your products, and by doing so, the economic engine keeps going, so your money retains value and you can actually do and buy things with your money. Losing your customer base for whatever reason, including poverty, is death to a business. That depends on whether the business class is more concerned with accumulating wealth or with accumulating political and economic power.

You may have a humble past, but your present is your membership in the middle class along with the other 36,286,424 Canadians. Actually there are only 36,286,423 middle class Canadians. There's one rich guy, one poor guy, and everyone else is in the middle.

Postess with the Mostest posted:Maybe we are just ahead of the states and Harper was our Trump, IIRC he was unironically called a fascist in these very hallowed halls of discussion. We're already ahead of the states on health care, welfare, taxation, death penalty, marijuana (as a national average you pedants), multiculturalism and maternity leave so why wouldn't we be ahead on Trumps. No Harper was our Reagan. patonthebach posted:What? He beat the polls by like 4-6 points depending on which ones you believe. There was definitely a "silent majority" or more accurately its just the social desirability bias which has been seen before. Postess with the Mostest posted:I think the polling problem was Clinton friendly firms mostly oversampling Hillary voters. It gave the perception that Trump was trailing badly and why would anyone donate to a lost cause? It's a good strategy, starving the campaign is as good as cutting off the head BUT it didn't work, votes came cheap to Trump. The likely voter screens were based off the 2012 election. That's the main reason that the polls were wrong.
