Got sweats and chills and felt achy and fatigued the day after and couldn't really do poo poo all till the next morning, but that's nothing compared to the peace of mind it's brought me. Now waiting on shot #2.

ChickenDoodle posted:I can see one from my house, it’s called Mount Baker, so I get a choice of dying due to tsunami, extreme heat, forest fire, earthquake, or volcanic eruption! That said, at this point in time it's actually Mt. Rainier that stands a better chance of going kablooey that Baker does. And if Rainier ever goes off, it's gonna really gently caress up Washington State, but Mt. Baker erupting certainly wouldn't be fun either.

Drunk Canuck posted:There's no way Harper comes back because he is in no position to muzzle the loving nutjobs in the CPC anymore. As is what tends to happen when you purge all potential rivals and successors from the ranks thinking you'd die in office at a ripe old age and then get blindsided out of power. Harperland thankfully died with Harper's career in parliament, and the Cons still haven't found a way out of the Mad Maxime wasteland that cropped up overnight once the word got out that the king was dead.

PT6A posted:I am less concerned about that overall, as I think a Socon is even less electable than the rancid jar of mayo, Andrew Scheer. I feel they may try, but I don't think it will work. We need to be less concerned about a Trump or a Bush and more concerned about a Reagan. Yeah, Scheer was basically if not dead because of it then well on his way to electoral oblivion when he was asked how he felt about gay marriage being legal and a dial tone came out of his mouth. Someone who campaigns openly on "shove the gays back into the closet and annul all their sin unions by fiat" is on a bullet train to Literally Two Seats In The House town.

Trudeau sees this as his one shot to get his majority back so of course he's going to take it because O'Toole is melting before our eyes and is somehow an even worse Conservative leader than Andrew Scheer was. At this point it's only a question of who's gonna eat more of O'Toole's lunch, Trudeau or Singh.

tagesschau posted:Who do they even have to replace O'Toole, though? Don't say Harper. They don't seem to have much of a bench at the moment. The irony is this is all Harper’s fault, purging the party of all potential rivals and successors over his term in office left them with a bench full of rudderless goobers with no leadership acumen. DariusLikewise posted:There was an interesting discussion on CanPol twitter the other day about how Scheer actually might have not been that bad. Everyone was focused on the fact that they didn't "win" but reducing the Liberals to minority status after a single majority term while winning the popular vote was a pretty good accomplishment. Harper got 3 cracks to win his majority and Scheer got turfed after 1. Not that I'm complaining, the Conservatives can suck it, but it's interesting to look at it from a different angle. For example, ^^^ Scheer might well have been their best possible remaining choice and he actually did what Harper merely dreamed about : actually hurt Trudeau. God only knows what would have happened in that election if the Tories had real big boy or big girl candidate who knew what they were doing, or if the apparatus was still in place to actually groom Scheer into a worthy successor to Harper, had Harper not, in his monumental hubris, taken it down the hill from 24 Sussex one cold winter night and drowned it in the river.

bunnyofdoom posted:God, I think Skippy would def run again. Hell, Scheer clearly wants to be leader so bad he'd do is as a comeback vanity run This might be a "be careful what you wish for" thing, and he's probably been utterly humiliated too many times to ever make another serious run at his boss's old crown, but I'd be very amused if Peter MacKay tried to make another grab at power and than ate poo poo directly into oblivion. Because he's Peter MacKay, and he exists only to be humiliated.

Arcsquad12 posted:So BC and Alberta numbers are going back up again? It's a combination of factors. First of all, BC and Ablerta are zeroing in on their vaccination opt-in ceilings. Luckily, that seems to be in the 60-70% area, which is a really good place to top out at, at least in comparison to the states. Secondly, it's the Delta variant that's driving numbers now, and it is ripping through the unvaccinated like a rocket-powered buzz saw right now. So numbers are rising all over the world right now thanks to that. We're still doing quite well in comparison to basically anywhere else in the world thanks to our vaccine rollout finally getting off its rear end and ramping up, but yeah this is still far from a good thing.

Gros Tarla posted:He's the only reason the NDP has survived this long, when Quebec fell in love with him in 2011. His memory is the only meaningful thing they have to remain relevant. Or at least, that's what they seem to believe. I mean the love affair didn't last all that long after his death given how quickly all of those orange seats evaporated under Mulcair, because it turned out that Quebec actually loved racism a hell of a lot more than they loved Jack Layton and/or Jack Layton's ghost.

Femtosecond posted:On a question around Indigenous affairs and mass unmarked graves being discovered, Blanchet immediately seemed to ignore the question and try to pivot somehow into accusing Singh and the Liberals of using the issue to call Quebec racist and like man maybe line that came off more nuanced in French (as I was watching the english dub) but that seemed loving insane to me??? The Bloc kinda needs Quebec’s festering racism to get and hold power, so of course Blanchet would hem and haw when asked if he thought racism was maybe a bad thing.
