Unless a political party is willing to bring back crown corporations in full they are part of the problem, imo. Nothing will fundamentally change no matter the party. It's just degrees of change towards the same result. I'll still vote but I have no illusion that we will ever see the real change we need.

half cocaine posted:It all makes so much sense that people are angry at JWR for having the integrity to blow the whistle on JT when you see how much slobber they can work up over Chretien, forgetting adscam ever happened. I still have fond memories of Chrétien in spite of lying about not implementing the gst during the election in the 90’s, and the corruption. He had personality which so many lack these days.

Paper Lion posted:singh this election: 2,887,108 I think to some degree it is media consolidation and a swing rightward that has had an impact on NDP support. Maybe that's not true, but it certainly feels that way. I still remember NDP governments in Saskatchewan, Ontario, and BC growing up and don't really know what happened for support to die off as it has.

China is a bad country and you shouldn’t support anything they do. For any bad that western democracies do China and Russia are 100 times worse. You’d be in jail for saying the things you say. They hate democracy and will ship you to a concentration camp in a heartbeat for any public disagreement with the government. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Every home owner near a sky train fears increases in crime. I know of two in Coquitlam who moved because they were within a couple of blocks where the new sky train station went in. It’s too bad that they are so selfish but that is most people. You do what you perceive as in your best interest first. It’s why we have so many problems while having so much wealth.

Mr. Apollo posted:Yeah, based on my limited experience, he was probably approached by a cultural organization, or someone in his riding office belongs to one, told that they have someone who would be great to introduce to Zelensky because this guy also bravely fought the Russians, fought against communism, and fought to establish a homeland for his people, etc. Rota, like many other people, being ignorant of history says "sure, sounds great" and doesn't ask who this guy was fighting with if he was fighting against the Russians in 1941-1945. It was the guys son who asked for him to be invited, lol. Maybe he hates his father and this is revenge for a childhood of abuse.

Mr. Apollo posted:Either that or he heard some “really cool war stories” from that guy’s family about fighting the Russians. "Mr. Hunka's son contacted Mr. Rota's constituency office and asked if it would be possible for Mr. Hunka to attend the address in the House of Commons by Mr. Zelensky. This request was accepted by the Speaker's Office," Crosson said. https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.6978266

I guess doctors can just sterilize women now and face no legal consequences. What the hell is going on here? It makes no sense to me. https://abcnews.go.com/Health/wireStory/canadian-police-investigate-doctor-sterilizing-indigenous-woman-103528539 quote:Canadian police won't investigate doctor for sterilizing Indigenous woman

Mr. Apollo posted:She would have to file assault charges and she hasn't done that yet. The police would also need access to her medical records and she hasn't given them permission to view them. She is, however, currently suing him. She's been severely traumatized so no wonder she hasn't reported it officially yet. But that shouldn't matter in this case. It's not like some spousal fight. Someone was irreparably physically damaged. It's not some slap to the face, a bruise that will heal. It may be the law, but the law clearly is failing in this situation. I understand what is going on, but it still pisses me off.

Lars Blitzer posted:At this point I'm going to consider the whole bunnyhug thing a bit of disinfo trolling on the level of "Sure, here in Canada we live in igloos!" sorta thing. And please for the love of everything decent if you're in Manitoba: vote! As someone living in the orange blob in a sea of blue (Edmonton) it would suck if the Cons got voted in again there. It's real. It was more of an 80's and 90's thing until hoodie became ubiquitous.

Monaghan posted:Congrats Manitoba. Hopefully saskatchewan follows the same path so I'm not stuck with the sask party forever. I remember the tail end of the grant devine years and the mess they made. I honestly think that the media consolidation and rise of talk radio is what swung Saskatchewan so far to the right. It’s difficult to fix brainwashing. A big economic hit needs to happen to shake people out of their stupor.

ChickenDoodle posted:Despite BC saying over and over again "YOU MUST WAIT UNTIL YOU RECEIVE YOUR NOTIFICATION BEFORE GETTING YOUR VACCINE", I never got my notification. Neither did my husband. I just happened to ask if I could sneak in the Covid shot while getting my flu shot and the pharmacist told me I was eligible. No idea how long I was eligible for, but I called the day after the vaccine went live and they told me to gently caress off and wait so thanks for that! I don't loving know why we have to wait to get notified at all now - I'm certain they'll be delivered in tandem from now until the end of time. I’m in Vancouver and got my email. Maybe it got spam blocked or something.

COPE 27 posted:Ideally all health care and indeed all commodities would be provided for free but if one has to go first because of Liberals™ I'm happy for people to get free insulin before I get free glasses. It would be wonderful if we still had all our crown corporations and all the profits from natural resources went into social spending instead of corporate pockets. Everything would be so much better for everyone in terms of day to day life. But we live in hell world where it slowly gets stripped away from us as we descend into privatization hell.

Until the NDP supports nationalizing all natural resource companies I don't think I'll be voting for them again. Bring back all crown corporations and expand them. That would get a lot of votes.
