New foreign policy directive: Waaaaaaaaugh!!!
The correct response is "If I'm going to jail because abortion is murder, I may as well kill my rapist"
Hear me out, but aren't these people supposed to be professional?
Wondering whether "happy" or "angry" variants of a person will show up should stop being a thing around sixteen to eighteen years of age.
Maybe thes story should read: "Trump grossly unfit for office and the Republican party is so badly broken that they can't manage to replace him"?
Let's re-write that in truthful language: Tim Hortons franchisees, who are multimillionaires, don't want to pay people a market wage and is looking to the government the bring in cheap labour to help them get richer.
More like seventy five cents, given Google's profit margins.
Do more for the poor.
It's really that simple. Do more for more people, and less for corporations. Deliver results.
That's why the Right is eating everyone's lunch: they're promising they'll make things better. They're lying, of course, and their path to making things better is just basic scapegoating of out- groups, but at least they're speaking to people's insecurities, where the neoliberal left is clinking glasses with billionaires.
“Neither party is willing to compromise”
What a load of faux-centrist bullshit. One party has been captured by a grifting demagogue and his protofascist enablers, while the other's run by milquetoast technocrats that have been Lucy-footballed since 2008.
But sure Joe, tell us again about "both sides".
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.
It was the 1980s. Capitalism hadn't reached its end-stage yet.
Want to know the reason?
- Finance people are wealthy
- Finance people's money works for them, instead of the other way around, so they aren't constrained by 9-5 jobs
- Finance people are on other boards, and know other board members and politicians, and have reciprocal arrangements--official and otherwise--with them
- Between "having the free time" and the network effects of "all my friends are here",
The same applies to Law, frankly.
It's the same reason our political class is dominated by law and finance, and why labour of any kind if highly underrepresented: they're the professions of the idle rich. If you work a day job--even medicine!--good luck taking the time off to do something like running for office or working on multiple boards.

You want us back?
Impeach Trump.
Then, if Vance fucks around, impeach him, too. Then Johnson. Keep going until you find someone who isn't a fascist asshat.
That would help with America's "trust" problem.
