I'd like to point out that Doug Fords buck-a-beer promise is basically Mr. Burns plan to swindle the power plant union. Free beer in exchange for their dental plan. Implying that voters are dumber than Homer Simpson.

A big problem with living in NB (i did for 15 years) is you get locked into a seriously impoverished economy, one with massive downward mobility. People always say its such a nice place to raise kids, as someone there as a teenager and young adult it blows. Nothing to do but drink or get high, part-time minimum wage jobs are all that's available. Everyone I knew either got out or got poorer year to year, with a few exceptions. It really features the Appalachian learned helplessness, pretty depressing, so few young people. Don't get locked into an economy heading for collapse.

However, shes already switched positions on KM, saying that if it goes though it will be very good for the value of the house she just bought.

Look at this guy, clearly never seen a liquor agent in rural New Brunswick or PEI. An aisle or, heavens be blessed, two would have been amazing. I have seen just a single fridge door with Moosehead called a liquor agent.

The Liberals have believed that for about every leader except maybe Paul Martin, it doesn't change the fact that Ignatieff was a placeholder. Lots of conservatives love Scheer, but he's likely going to be remembered as a placeholder while the party shifted even further right,

I've never really followed Quebec politics, but now that my brother lives there I am getting a bit more familiar. I can't help but feel like Quebec politics is to Canadian politics as Canadian politics is to America. Ya got more parties, most are worthless, and trends lag behind.

Not to mention Trudeau could score some easy, and desperately needed, points at home by looking tough and standing up to Trump. As much as I despise Trudeau, Scheer is looking really bad.

Postess with the Mostest posted:This is exactly what I'm saying, I don't think they have to negotiate with us at all. A big hit to the auto industry or oil might be enough to pop our only other industry, housing. The states have a great economy, top notch, diversified, innovative and chugging right along. Nothing Canada can do affects the US in a noticeable way and even if we could, it would hurt us 10x more. They are a juggernaut, we are a banana republic of lovely oil that only pipes to the US, overpriced houses, cars that americans make here and send back because we have banana republic wages (in USD) and cronjob twitter based IT. Bring on the housing collapse! Housing shouldn't be a luxury commodity and gently caress speculators.

infernal machines posted:if you live in the gtha or gvrd you'll be fighting gangs of cannibals in the streets if things collapse badly enough to make housing "affordable" As a Canadian I naturally live in one of those zones, and that would own so much. Also I might be able to get a home that way. All joking aside, we need a massive overhaul of how we approach housing. Where I am there are condos going up constantly, but units get bought up by speculators and sit empty. The building that went in a year back a block down from me has been sold out for 9 months now, but at night only ever has like two lights on. The house across from me has been sold three times in a year, no ones moved in, just some cosmetic work and gets flipped each time. There is tons of housing, its just insanely overpriced due to speculation causing artificial shortages. A crash in which a gov't bailout prevented people from losing their home, but in which speculators lost everything would rule so much.

SENSUAL DAD KISS posted:I don't know if I'd say gender is the most fundamental tool to controlling the population. As a man whose lived on the fringes of what is considered acceptably masculine I can say its pretty powerful, but its generally applied as subtle coercion. I would say it is the fundamental tool, it maintains and stabilizes all other tools. It requires two stable binaries that ruthlessly police the action of their gender and the other gender, making sure there is little room for those that break this structure. It is breaking down, but access to basically any power or advancement in our society depends of your adherence to this system, look at how important the traditional family is in politics.

It was bad ten years back, and I distinctly remember being warned about the police there too. I can't imagine it's gotten better in the past decade.
