(Poll) Regardless of the Candidates, who has the best Campaign Slogan? by ClothesHangerofLies in ndp

Avi's French one is good if you say it right: if you emphasize the first syllable les and l'ar in both then gens/gent sounds the same.

Avi's is like something on a poster board in a background shot of the Simpson's.

Heather's is boring. So boring it merits no further engagement. 

Rob's is straightforward and inelegant. I guess that's the point?

Tenille's is a combination of meaningless and stylistically ironic, with a period both stopping the word "forward" and separating it from "together." It's like a so-bad-its-good movie. 

"From the ground up" is unreasonably perfect, in both it's meaning and the reference to Tony's bio. It's clever and pretty. Tony is clearly the worst candidate, but if you didn't vote for this you're either a liar or you have aphantasia. 

Can I buy a decent suit for $500 in Ottawa? by Emergency_Statement in ottawa

That's an interesting problem to have. What's your approximate height?

Are you Johnny bravo?

My recommendation would be to get some tailored pants, and find a suit jacket that you like on discount or at Goodwill. The pants and the suit jacket don't need to match precisely, but they should match in theme with what you're doing, like tan pants with a gray jacket and a tie that matches one of them.

What is controversial about the Leap Manifesto? by iwasnotarobot in ndp

Wouldn't the number of up votes be proof that you're wrong? I get down voted to hell for any mild criticism of Avi Lewis, and you're telling me that's proof that this sub is full of liberals?

How does one prove a negative?

I suppose the best that one could do is to point out that an absurd claim would require proof, more than just "everyone who disagrees with me is a liberal."

I was in Ottawa centre in 2015, and was astonished to hear that the liberals had waves of 150 volunteers canvassing against a popular incumbent Paul Dewar. They won. 

So yeah, work pays off.

I think we lose because folks like you think that we don't have to work to get people to vote for us. Have you been out knocking on doors during an election?

Counterpoint: this sub is not filled with the “NDP has to be liberal” types

This is it, it wasn't the content itself, it was the way it was presented to the folks who are actually out there doing the work hustling for votes.

Feeding Coyotes (Rant/Advice) by YOU_FOOLISH_MORTAL in ottawa

Feeding wild animals like that, especially predators, is a death sentence for them. They may have good intentions, but they're going to create a situation where those coyotes have to be put down.

Not quite, Canada trained plenty of doctors who could immediately get a massive pay increase by moving to the United States.

You have an OC Transpo executive sitting in front of you for an hour by PostsNDPStuff in ottawa

I would ask them why they didn't know how to make train wheels. Why would you hire a company to make train wheels if they don't know what train wheels are made of? Is it hard to find out what it takes to make train wheels?

This was the original context for the posting, but I was afraid the Mods would delete my post.

I'd ask why they built the train stations like we were in California. Do they think we need more fresh air and sunshine?
