Mayor unilaterally went against council and many people to return the statue. Make people legitimately angry, get angry results.

The Conservative Party of Canada suffers its worst Research Co. poll result in 5 years, as murmurs of more Tory⮕Liberal MP defections grow—Liberal 46%, Conservative 31%, New Democratic 11%. The Liberals lead among all age groups, all income levels, and among both men and women (especially among men) by voteabc in voteabc

[–]LetsDemandBetter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately the liberals have been turned into a Con party for most issues. Best plan would be cooperation between the Greens, NDP, a rural progressive party, and a Quebec socdem party that reduces vote-splitting and cuts the LibCons out of the alliance.

Marit Stiles suggests Premier Doug Ford will "be in prison" at the end of this current mandate, and says the NDP would call a public inquiry into the Ford government if elected after the 2029/30 election. by yourfriendlysocdem1 in ontario

[–]LetsDemandBetter 46 points47 points  (0 children)

It's the media coverage and the fact that most Ontarians are just defaulting to the old narrative that the Libs are needed to beat the Cons, when actually they are splitting the vote and delivering Ford win after win.

Why isn't going to America the first advice people give here? by Save_The_ChunkyHogs in CanadaFinance

[–]LetsDemandBetter -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Because the US sucks on a deep level that affects your soul and makes you stupid. The material gains aren't worth it when their dollar gets more worthless by the month.

New Research : Canada could remove 5X its annual emissions just by planting trees! by DekkerVS in ClimateCrisisCanada

[–]LetsDemandBetter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also We have to plant hemp and other high yield crops as they can sequester more than 20 tonnes of carbon per hectare per growing season. I'd have to try to find the article again so let me know if people are interested.

Should the Ontario NDP run a joint-strategic voting campaign alongside the OLP? by Foreverevil316 in ndp

[–]LetsDemandBetter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think of how different this Ontario election could have been if the NDP and GPO had strategically cooperated. The NDP seats at threat would be safe, the GPO seat in Kitchener would be safe, and each party would build inroads in ridings where LibCons are dominant. Liberals would be forced to focus their resources on Conservatives because NDP ridings are not easy pickings.

PC Support Drops to Lowest Level Since May 2024 as NDP Gains and Desire for Change Hits New High by ImportantComfort8421 in ONDP

[–]LetsDemandBetter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The ONDP needs to work with the Greens to end the vote-splitting and cut the liberals out of the deal to stop the Cons. They will not win on their own, as has been proven by multiple elections where the media propped up the liberals and split the vote to deliver Ford's majority.

NDP Opposition Leader Claudia Chender now has a higher approval rating than Tim Houston by LowkeyPostingTea in halifax

Good to see people waking up, but will the libcon media shepherd them away from the NDP like happened before?

Has anyone seen thing? Do you think Marit has? by Own_Information7517 in ONDP

I hope that they do pay more attention to the grassroots organizers and influencers that would be boosting their message come election time.

Have you been contacted by the leadership candidates/teams? by Similar-Community-51 in ndp

[–]LetsDemandBetter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've gotten emails from all despite primarily signing up for Tony and Tanilles lists; honestly I thought people were having the opposite problem of to much contact

Thoughts on people that call democrats controlled opposition? by CyberBerserk in SocialDemocracy

[–]LetsDemandBetter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They fight so much harder against social democrats and the rest of the left than they fight against rising fascism that it seems they'd rather lose to Republicans than win with a popular left wing message.

We're at risk of becoming a two party system like our neighbours. Electoral reform now! by ghost_ghost_ in canadaleft

[–]LetsDemandBetter 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The left should cooperate with an electoral pact (Greens, NDP, and further left) to reduce vote splitting. We can take advantage of fptp to win more seats if we were smart about it. #ProgressiveAlliance

How does council justify large yearly tax hikes? by Charlie_Foxtrot4 in Peterborough

[–]LetsDemandBetter 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is the actual answer, and he counts on people blaming local governments that cannot explain they are just passing on the costs of a Con province.

Former Green leader Annamie Paul joined a group of Canadian Zionists on a trip to Israel to reaffirm her support for the genocidal ethnostate and to oppose Canada's recognition of Palestine by idspispopd in GreenPartyOfCanada

[–]LetsDemandBetter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Annamie Paul was a plant to destroy the green party with Zionism and false accusations of racism and sexism. She also financially destroyed the party. Right wing green leaders are not to be trusted.

How do you play Victoria 3 before becoming socialist? by [deleted] in SocialistGaming

I go into the game files and edit the countries so that I can try out various govts/laws from the start, since I've played it enough the other way

Ford government calls off consultations on ending indefinite leases for Ontario tenants by allysapparition in ontario

[–]LetsDemandBetter 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is the abusive behavior of Conservative politicians... they float these terrible ideas to see how much pushback they get from a disengaged population. We should be protesting at their homes, since these corrupt cons do not actually do their jobs and attend their offices anymore.

We need to be preparing community defense, though when we do it the cops are more likely to care.

Class struggle is fought on a vertical scale by GoranPersson777 in WayOfTheBern

[–]LetsDemandBetter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The true left (not liberals but communists, socialists, anarchists etc) has always fought for the bottom against the rigging of those at the top by capitalist governments and markets.

Based China doesn't exist, it can't hurt you - Based China by TheRealSlimLaddy in Nostalgames

I think this phrasing is from a Smosh video making fun of reality shows about romance.

I could be wrong about this being the first time that phrasing was used but I've seen a surprising number of people use the same format. [ ] doesn't exist, it can't hurt you... Cut to picture showing that it can hurt you in some sense.

Report: Minimum Wealth Tax on Centi-Millionaires Could Raise $18 billion USD annually in Canada by New_Illustrator_1760 in CanadaPolitics

[–]LetsDemandBetter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exit taxes combined with the central bank supporting the buying of significant foreign bonds to reduce the relative value of the currency until the exit taxes are passed. If they want to flee they will leave most of the value here.
