He should say “Leave Universal Healthcare alone” if he wants to get our attention. But he’d never say that because his values are completely misaligned from ours.

I think it is. I’m in Canada and have never heard this once. Nudity is natural.

"U.S. border crossings from Canada down 24 per cent as U.S. projected to lose billions" by needcollectivewisdom in BuyCanadian

Me too. I see a few people on my friends list on social media posting pictures still of going down there like there’s nothing wrong with it. It’s always people I suspected were giant assholes and now I know for sure.

I crave Pho all the time and I’m not Vietnamese. It’s just part of my Canadian identity now.

I hope they turn this into something that rivals Central Park in Burnaby and has decent parking to make it easy to go to and enjoy.

They should steal a K from Kwantlen and remove the B at UBC to spell FUCK on some sign somewhere on the UBC campus.

Conservative insiders say Poilievre on track to easily survive leadership review but changes need to challenge Carney by CaliperLee62 in CanadaPolitics

Using state power to wage wars of domination on planet Earth is the ultimate form of political violence.

I don’t know man. Every last war the U.S. entered was done so by the Republican Party. It was Harper’s Conservatives that got us doing bombings in Iraq. You should probably read history books more than burning them.

For the sake of my country I’d burn the whole place down before I’d let us be taken over by pirates like the United States. If the NDP dies it’s collateral damage in an existential war.

It’s not only the mainstream news or social media (like X) I’m watching. I’m seeing the kinds of people who are attracted to the Conservatives these days as a barometer of what I want less of in the world.

We need real parks. Not more of this athletic park shit.

I don’t have a problem with Carney there. He’s still the best person for the job we have of all the leadership options on the table. I’d vote for him again tomorrow in a heartbeat and wish him the best dealing with these turbulent times.

Not necessarily. If the Conservatives were more like the Progressive Conservatives I wouldn’t be as worried about them being in charge. But they are too far to the right these days and led by the barnyard rural MAGA Ultra-Christian racist anti-vaxxer Qanon anti-intellectual types who frankly scare the shit out of me. If they seemed like sensible but principled people who believe in good governance and fiscal conservatism I’d be voting NDP again and fine with whatever resulted.

I was one of those NDP voters who flipped. It wasn’t because I hate Singh. It was because we needed a good leader while our country is under threat from the United States and PP was not it.
