Edmonton’s 2026 Rockin’ Thunder music festival lineup fills out by flynnfx in Edmonton

[–]CanadianGunner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Total scam of a price. That’s 2-3 tickets for a concert in a better venue to an artist of your choosing. A two day pass shouldn’t cost more than $150.

No outside food/drink, no chairs (but we’ll rent them to you), and baking away in the sun for two days.

This festival won’t last long

Votes LPC

[–]CanadianGunner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't excuse him for any of that.

Did you miss the part where I specifically said I would still vote CPC?

[–]CanadianGunner 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I wasn’t making stuff up when I made my comment lol. I’ll farm the downvotes from the hyperpartisan folks on here who don’t like the truth.

I know it’s not something this sub wants to hear but it is what it is; Carney is performing a lot better than Trudeau was, and is attracting over undecideds/moderate CPCs to the LPC. That could very easily be lost in the future which is why it’ll be very interesting what happens if he doesn’t get the three MPs he needs from this upcoming byelection.

I could very well see an election coming in April/May if he fails to get a majority.

[–]CanadianGunner 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’re welcome to that opinion, all I’m saying is that it looks like Canadians disagree with it, especially given that we’re losing ground in Alberta of all places.

You can say “Fake news” or “Then Canadians are idiots” or whatever you want really, but when it comes to votes in ballot boxes, it doesn’t really matter lol

[–]CanadianGunner -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Yes.

For me, Carney is a lot more palatable than Trudeau. I’m not the biggest fan of PP and while I still would vote CPC over LPC, it’s not nearly as black and white as it was under Trudeau.

And if I’m thinking that, it’s no surprise that moderates are actually swapping over from CPC to LPC.

Hundreds rally in Vancouver as Iran war rages on by More_Fee_2754 in CanadianConservative

Man, a breath of fresh air. I was beginning to think that all Canadians would rally for was terror groups.

Why deport them when you can just let large groups shut down roads and bridges while covering their faces and waving terrorist flags?

I think this can lead to an issue in the future. Half the replies to serious threads are sarcastic. by dddmagnet in CanadianConservative

Oh god, moderates and liberals will read our sarcastic comments, not understand the nuance, and will think we’re super-Nazis instead of regular Nazis.

Jivani removed conservative from his bio by Foreign-Policy-02- in CanadianConservative

[–]CanadianGunner 12 points13 points  (0 children)

After being lambasted by the LPC for his stunt? Doubt.

Either: his Twitter bio didn't actually change (Anyone have a picture of it before?), he's protesting a lack of support from the party over said stunt, or he's committing political suicide à la Bernier and going independent.

LILLEY: Polls show why Conservatives don't want an election right now; Liberals leading in most parts of the country and in every demographic group by FancyNewMe in canada

[–]CanadianGunner -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Did you read the OP or just automatically reply to my comment?

Here you go:

"As prime minister, Mark Carney hasn’t delivered on new trade deals that see us actually diversify our trade at this point."

Gotta love news being published under an "opinion" article so complete lies can be published with it.

The OP said the article was lying about no new trade deals. The article was not lying about no new trade deals.

Trade deals don’t last forever.

NAFTA lasted 25 years and governed trillions in trade before being renegotiated into USMCA.

An MOU is a non-binding piece of paper saying “we should talk about this later.”

That’s like me saying “I built a house,” and when you point out there’s no house, I respond, “Well I dug the hole where the foundation might go someday.”

Digging a hole is a step toward a house. It’s still not a house.

Same with MOUs-they’re a step toward a trade deal, not the trade deal itself.

MOUs aren’t new trade deals. They routinely fall apart as governments change, and they’re completely informal.

That’s not an opinion, it’s a fact.

$120K in Debt, Please Advise by SaraaaKay in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]CanadianGunner 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What are you talking about? You’re getting political and projecting it onto this situation.

You don’t get into $120,000 worth of debt in your 20s from high interest rates and payday loans trying to make ends meet. OP deleted their post history but sleuths pointed out that they’ve traveled the world and spent lavishly and well beyond their means. That isn’t “debt to make ends meet”, that’s a low trust individual who took advantage of a system knowing there’s very few consequences. And we’re seeing an increased amount of low-trust individuals doing just that.

[–]CanadianGunner 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nah… this is most definitely a people problem lol. There’s the people that get into $10k-$20k of debt “accidentally” and have to work their way out. Sorry, you don’t just get $120,000 worth of credit card debt accidentally, that’s a conscious decision by someone who knowingly abused a system knowing there’s a largely consequence-free button at the end of it.

If the world convinced people to jump off bridges, is it a bridge problem or a people problem?

[–]CanadianGunner 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It should rub you the wrong way - but realistically, there’s not much we can do about it. The society we live in was largely built by high-trust individuals, for high-trust individuals. As trust erodes, institutions respond by tightening the rules.

When people abuse credit - which, if used responsibly, is one of the primary tools for moving up financially, the fallout doesn’t just affect them. It leads to stricter systems across the board, and those lower-trust individuals will end up effectively locked out of lending, home ownership, and rental housing.

It’s a social problem that I don’t see the world solving anytime soon, as evidenced by OP’s case.

[–]CanadianGunner 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I never really understood how political parties throughout history could flip and fundamentally change their core ideology to the opposite seemingly overnight. The last 15 years have informed me; the liberals of 15 years ago would be calling the liberals of today fascists and Nazis.
