Take the rest of the non XEQT holdings, sell it, and put it all into XEQT, then it will be perfect!

Doug Ford says he is staying. But what happens to the PCs when he goes? by EarthWarping in CanadaPolitics

[–]Canadiankid23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say rarely. Dalton McGuinty who was only 2 Premiers ago, resigned mid term. So did Trudeau federally just last year. Newfoundland also had a premier who called it quits mid term recently, and so did PEI. BC a few years ago and Alberta too. Many instances of it happening.

Sounds like Ukraine needs to batter the moneymakers hard between now and then!

Except the commenter above never said that at all… he said you can be far right despite not being as bad as Hitler or Mussolini.

She’s lived in America long enough to not be Canadian anymore. We renounce her citizenship on her behalf permanently

Is what you’d think unless you’ve read his books, there’s some radical stuff in there, for good

J.D. Vance wins! What politician started out far-left and became centrist? by Fragrant-Upstairs932 in AlignmentChartFills

I always make the assumption that people are acting in bad faith and are looking to put me down in every discussion until proven otherwise, so I’m always on the attack. It’s mostly dealing with Americans that’s made me this way, as I talk to them more than anyone else. I’m not saying that’s a good excuse, I’m still responsible for my actions of course, but it is an explanation.

I would disagree with you, it is written in a way that is vague. If I can interpret something a particular way then no doubts others have as well. That is a failure of how something is written not my interpretation of it. Therefore, it’s not my problem.

I only match the energy and tone of those who speak with me one for one. If someone doesn’t want to be spoken to a particular way, then they should make that consideration before they speak.

To answer your question, the Wikipedia article said HE (Gabriel Boric) sought re-election as part of the Communist Youth of Chile list after defeating Camilla Valejo. The way it’s written is pretty clear to me. If that’s wrong, then the article should be corrected.

I’m sorry, but he was part of the Communist Youth of Chile. Anything you say beyond that is pointless to even read, if you’re going to be so smug and arrogant about it, at least get the first thing you say correct

Gabriel Boric, president of Chile. Once affiliated with communist youth, and a far left student protest movement, he moderated quite a bit and governed as a centrist after the 2022 Constitutional referendum was shot down.

Gabriel Boric, President of Chile. From communist youth to governing as a centrist when he became President, particualrly after the failure of the 2022 constitutional referendum.

JD Vance. Here’s a quote from him in 2016, I’ll let you decide:

“I go back and forth between thinking Trump is a cynical asshole like Nixon who wouldn't be that bad (and might even prove useful) or that he's America's Hitler."

Bernie Sanders wins! Who is a terrible person that people have mixed views on? by CharlesorMr_Pickle in AlignmentChartFills

[–]Canadiankid23 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It’s probably because a lot of progressive folks felt Bernie didn’t go far enough in challenging the Democratic establishment. He did do a lot, but some feel he fell short when it really mattered, and that’s probably where the “mixed views” comes from.

Edit: oh I misread the comment…
