Maybe next time do this stuff during your mandate instead of the last eight weeks?

The correct response is "If I'm going to jail because abortion is murder, I may as well kill my rapist"

Can't find a fraction of of that to fix the Science Centre.

Can, however, spend a fifth of that amount to end the Beer Store contract early.

Finally, what's galling is that this is only the third or fourth most wasteful thing he's done, depending on if we count the attempted nine billion dollar Greenbelt Giveaway.

But yeah, Conservatives are "good with money".

This would be accurate if they ever cared about neonatal or prenatal health.. They don't.

Infant mortality being sky-high is completely fine. Mothers with no supports, nutrition, or health care? Fine. A baby can die in utero as a result of neglect and they'd say it was God's will, or rather that it's God's will that they not pay taxes for health care.

More like seventy five cents, given Google's profit margins.

I mean, Howard Dean talked into an unadjusted microphone one time. That's totes just as bad.

Yeah, listened to him carry water for people that wanted to harm me and people like me either through neglect, if not outright malice.

He's not Henry Kissinger, so I'm not actively hoping he's burning in hell, but I'm not sorry he's gone.

So we're supposed to truck ourselves for an hour or more in a car, at our expense, to spend money in a downtown that we can't afford to live in, so that landlords--who are already rich--can get richer? How about landlords pull themselves up by their bootstraps, stop buying lattes and avocado toast, and cancel their Disney+ subscription?

Also:

• This is rich, coming from a guy who avoids downtowns where possible, and ran away and hid when the Convoy occupied Ottawa
• If you want people to live downtown, how about providing for actual affordable housing in downtown? Get out your chequebook and fucking build it, Doug.

Maybe the next step would be a handy badge that unbelievers can wear, you know, like a yellow star or a pink triangle. Something like that...

I don’t get the NatPo’s issue with this. They want the CBC to be more like a business, more conservative and less progressive, right?

Isn't this exactly what Conrad or Izzy would have done?

There's a psychological phenomenon, a cascade effect, that causes people's perceptions to flip if enough people around them also change their minds.

It's not nefarious, or a sign of stupidity or ignorance, it's part of how social primates like humans work. And it's something that the Right knows to work, and is exploiting.

It's how we got LGBTQ rights, and it's how we'll lose them if we, and especially the media, don't stop giving these troglodytes and their ideas oxygen.

Anyone who tells you that if we just educate people it'll make a difference ( it won't, cf the Backfire Effect) and that "sunshine is the best disinfectant" is either woefully ignorant of how humans work, or is actively disingenuous.

Tl;dr radical centrists are paving stones on the path to He'll.

And this is why the LPC will never pass electoral reform (except for ranked ballot, because they're more likely to be everyone's second choice) because under full PR they'd never, ever, get another majority government despite having tepid support among the voting population. For the record, the CPC wouldn't even support ranked ballots as they're almost never the second choice of anyone (because their policies--when they can be bothered to articulate them--are unpopular, believe it or not)

For the record, no Canadian political party has had >50% of the popular vote in half a century, and even before then it was exceedingly rare. FPtP allows the LPC or CPC to sneak a majority in, anyways.
