The NDP were right there. Any complaint against them doesn’t mean shit fuck-all when the people makong them voted for the Liberals, the party which brought us not changing how our elections work because they hugely benefit from how unfair they currently are.

In 2021, the NDP got over half the votes that the Liberals got. They have the support, they are a valid party, and unlike our two flavours of conservative party they at least try to make life better for us. Then you come along, and I think we’ve had this discussion before, and act like our only progressive option doesn’t even exist because it’s easier than accepting that you didn’t actually vote against conservatism, but instead you voted for it and against progress.

For me it started with not breathing well through my noses so my mouth would taste awful when I woke up from being all dry and weird. Then it became an excuse to get my ass out of bed and moving.

Almost like he was obviously mot the right guy for the job at any point. Conservatives aren’t the right people to do much of anything, let alone run a country, and anyone that thinks being “fiscally conservative” actually helps is dumber than a sack of moldy potatoes. And now all those brain-dead morons are getting big regret feelings like this was all somehow a well-hidden surprise.

Carney was bad from the start. He’s exactly what anyone should expect from a banker hired onto the Liberals.

But the ads I see all say that the Liberals are lowering my costs! They care about me! They wouldn’t lie, right?

It also just boils down to “stop showing me how what I want is what the bad guys always want.” People on the right side of history love “political” things.

Economies are strongest when small amojnts change hands often which is exactly the opposite of what the current concentration of wealth seeks to do. These are people who work and vote against minimum wage increases, unions, and who constantly push propaganda blaming the working class for spending money to deflect from the fact that they don’t pay enough.

It’s not “absurd” to say that the richest among us are trying to drain wealth out of the working class because it’s happening in broad daylight. We can all see it, they don’t give a shit about their employees. It’s to the point were every 4-day work-week experiment has been a success both for employee happiness and productivity but we still aren’t seeing that schedule being adopted.

The rich do not care about you, and if millions of the working class die they don’t give a shit. Slave plantations weren’t actually all that efficient but it didn’t matter because it the abuse was part of it.

You supported him making the Air Canada attendants’ strike illegal in an attempt to ignore their right to organize and to help the company continue to exploit them? You supported the firing of 40,000+ federal workers in a time of an already high unemployment rate and a weak economy? You supported them getting rid of the need for environmental reviews related to natural resource extraction so that O&G companies could take our stuff and maybe face a weak punishment in the future? Did you also support when Trump first attacked Iran and within hours he said “Canada will unconditionally support the US”? How about how he still won’t call the genocide in Gaza what it is?

Look, I’m glad something has caught your attention but are you fucking serious? Welcome aboard, I guess, just please pay better attention in the future.

We’ve already seen dead actors being brought back through AI usage, I think Val Kilmer was one of them. She might not have the most unique looks but even I can recognize her; someone stealing her likeness to make sales is very possible and would have huge repercussions, especially with how culty her base can be.

Ultimately it should be thoroughly illegal if someone hasn’t opted into it and the legal battle should be telling the people who used the likeness should be told to go fuck themselves.

You only said one person! In this essay…

There is that, but her plagiarism was kinda close to Vanilla Ice saying that he didn’t sample Under Pressure. A little aggressive, especially for her inflated ego and billions of dollars.

Absolutely agree about the other part though. She didn’t need the money to make her a shitty person, that was all original.

Not only that, but Rowling didn’t even dream up the world by all accounts. Just a bunch of plagiarized shit and racist stereotypes that happened to be the one which got extra popular.

Ones on roofs are easy, a panel can’t weigh more than a car so you lose a few parking spaces on the roof level and bob’s your uncle. The goal is to reduce car usage so it’s fine. And existing ones are too far away to provide electricity? What? They’re literally beside stores which consume power! Yea I don’t like that answer, it’s dumb as hell.

The pumping idea sounds cool, though, and I’m not against it, but dude I’m so tired of “what if we do nothing because we can’t understand the concept of having multiple solutions going at once?”

To be fair, Carney has generally tagged along with the US as his gut reaction. Also to be fair, it’s hilarious to even entertain the idea that PP wouldn’t be there sucking Trump off 24/7.

Any time, and I get that. It’s scary out there, but fortunately we still have some power even when we don’t believe we do, and those “extreme” solutions we keep hearing about are mostly just “extremely different” to the ruling class’ “let us do whatever we want without consequences” plan that has simply been normalized.

Luckily, this is the world at large and not a room with hyena in it. Also, we all know where the fucking door is, it’s actually right behind us, we’re all just too scared to open it.

We’re already so far behind and more of this centrist “being careful” stuff is not only cowardly, but it’s never actually even worked for much more than delaying, and intensifying, the issues. Far too many people believe that anything done by “the left” must be dreamland stuff that we can’t possibly actually do. You press them on it and it quickly becomes clear that it’s all just baseless, vibes-based nonsense which is rooted in what can only be considerer a hostage situation that they keep supporting.

We need to focus on making ourselves stronger. We need to expand and reinforce the rights of workers, make real effort to tackle the housing crisis(supply of houses no one can afford will change nothing), start making trade connections with reliable countries, and for fuck’s sake we have to start taxing the rich and corporations. Carney is doing the opposite of those things, but the average Canadian has the economic understanding of a toddler so here we are.

Conservatives, especially Dougie, are experts at spending a lot of money on things that don’t work because they never did any research at all. See: those stupid license plates.

“Northern Ontario” would imply that he gives a fuck about anything besides pretending that he’s the mayor of Toronto.

What I’m trying to say is that if you poll most Canadians they don’t want that shit. We have been told for so long that progressive ideas are only possible in dreamland and that things would be too expensive and then we just never question that. In reality, not investing in people and instead handing all our money to the ultra-rich just screws us over. There are people who would have said that Harper was too far right and yet will vote Liberal just because it’s in between two other parties(despite being barely left of the Conservatives).

The “destabilizing” also needs examples because a) yes, we are too deep into capitalism now so we have to make big moves and b) are they really, or are they just unfamiliar? And why are their moves “destabilizing” but Carney firing tens of thousands of people and continuing to drive us towards intense economic disaster just “normal”? We need to start thinking for ourselves or we are nothing.

We all know that, it just doesn’t really fit here.

Seriously? One of the most basic, fundamental aspects of a strong economy is one where small amounts of money change hands often. Instead, Carney has given huge tax breaks to the rich and is participating in trickle-down economics which was a term invented to make idiots think that giving all their money to rich people would somehow help them out. “Stimulating the economy” get outta here.

The NDP is not extreme. They are not asking for all private property to disappear, they are not asking for a 99% wealth tax, they are not asking for completely open borders, etc., you just consider them that way because we have three parties and you are not looking at platforms objectively, only in relation to one another. The Carney Liberals are conservatives but because the big C Conservatives are further right you believe them to be boring little centrists. Your view of our political landscape lacks any kind of nuance and you should really work on that because we are fucked otherwise.

You want the center so bad yet we’ve been crawling to the right every election for decades and you don’t see the problem. The center you’re imagining has become objectively right-wing and you aren’t noticing. They aren’t hiding it, please just pay attention.
