So I'll continue to vote for the Liberals federally until a better option comes along. None of the fake conservatives would make Canada better, safer, or freer, they're all running on a platform of shit on poor people, pander to the ultra rich, and fuck everyone.

I'm no Trudeau fanboy, but I'd take him over a regressive Reformer any time, and every time. Real leadership and compassion before out of context gotcha moments and clueless wood stroking. We don't have a conservative party anymore, or a viable progressive party.

Postmedia, who publishes all the major Canadian newspapers, including the Sun, National Post, et al, is owned and controlled by MAGA Americans - Trumpers. They're a CPC mouthpiece, and their political takes are 100% CPC supporting drivel.

At the end of this thread is a screenshot of the US CDC document explaining how to classify Covid deaths. The document is available to the public - sadly, it doesn't match up with what they're telling everyone about catching the disease.

For a centrist who's working to boost the middle class, and boost people outside of the middle class in to that middle class it a huge job - and he's doing it reasonably well. He has no real scandals, he's respected on the world stage, and he's been remakably consistent.

If you went in to work and got blamed for everything wrong with the world, when you're one person who struggles with too many tasks? Take those tasks and multiply them by a million - that's what's on his plate. His job is to delegate, not do everything.

because again, it damages your immune system. It also mutates quickly, so even if you had immunity to a strain (you did not), new strains aren't the same, and you'd still be vulnerable.

🧵Hi, I'm Patrick. When I was a kid, I leaned Reform, I voted for conservatives - There were many reasons, the primary being they talked financial responsibility, and making sure we leave a better world for our children.

Sorry my dude, he didn't, you confessed to being a terrible person. He's not a dictator, and he couldn't be even if he wanted to, because he's in a delicate minority situation - he has to collaborate, or lose his job. Even when he didn't have that risk, he still collaborated.

The most egregious foreign interference we're dealing with is Postmedia - a foreign owned conglomerate regularly pushing political opinions and narratives that belittle our government, and ignore what they're actually doing in favour of the opposition leader's petty gaslighting

Public funds should NEVER be used to fund private schools OR private medical services. 100% of public money should be spent on PUBLIC services and facilities. If the only options are private, nationalize them. NO private entity should be offering essential services in Canada.

When he does say something negative, he generalizes it in a way it doesn't implicate anyone specific. The people who freak out are telling on themselves, because they're the only ones offended by it. If he says some people are terrible, they scream "HOW DARE YOU CALL ME THAT"

Weird how people are complaining about federal overreach, but they're cool with the UCP passing a law that's blatantly authoritarian and unconstitutional, and will remove their rights as Canadians if allowed. I guess "sticking it to the libs" is more important than their rights.

I do believe this is one of the biggest media failures in Canada - not ever correcting their eager reporting of fake scandals targeting the Prime Minister - and never bothering to retract or correct anything when they don't amount to anything. We need media reform in Canada, fast

I have a question for Conservative voters. If you owned a brand new, 2023 F350 Supercab with 500L of fuel storage, you took it to the shop for service one day, and when you came to pick it up, they gave you a rusted out 1977 ford pinto, would you pay the bill drive the Pinto?

September 28, 2022. Good morning! A gentle reminder that Canada is still one of the freest countries in the world, more free than the USA, safer than most countries, and we need to fight to keep it that way - the CPC wants the freedom to take your freedoms away. Stay safe!

I find it odd that we had 2 World Wars that were about defeating Fascism, and now people in the west are defending and subscribing to it - it was always horrific, always anti freedom, always anti democracy - nothing has changed. We don't need more wars, we need less fascism.

Private sector is more efficient? Hard no on that one. Costs stay the same for things when they go private - but now, someone needs to make a profit. How do you make a profit? One of 2 ways. 1) raise prices 2) lower quality of service that's it, those are the only ways.

Went to a clinic yesterday, asked them if they could remove a mole. They said yes, it'll be $450. a few years ago a doctor in a clinic suggested I should have it removed - while it wasn't concerning yet, it probably will be, it's free. AB heath care isn't safe, fire the UCP.
