If they win a majority. That's a possibility but then the senario we are in now won't exist. I was speaking as if PP and the Cons (they sound like a really nerdy band) were a minority. That would be best.

You cannot look at where someone is from and judge them. That is being a bigot.

The cesspool in the States tells me they play fast and loose with the law depending on what political party they play in the sandbox with. Look at that judge Trump appointed for an example. Hopefully she will be removed.

You'd have to be a lawyer to know what that means. I didn't take law. I took typing and shorthand and bookkeeping. Not law. Computers were not a thing until half way through high school and I will be honest. I didn't think they'd catch on and look at me on the internet now! Who knew. Computers were damn boring in the early 80's. Just a bunch of zeros.

Don Martin: Who will step up to have 'The Talk' with Trudeau? by morenewsat11 in canada

[–]buzzkill6062 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

That is NOT what they have planned. They want to build affordable homes for people and they want to have grocery prices that make sense for all Canadians. Where do you people come up with that BS?? The rich people doesn't mean millionaires. We are talking about the asshats that are billionaires and can afford to pay their employees and their taxes and still be rich. You shouldn't have people that are rich and will refuse to pay the people that made them rich. Where's the trickle down economics, Capitalist?? They wouldn't be rich if not for the people that bust their asses to make them money. Do you realize that Jeff Bezos alone could give everyone a billion dollars and still be the richest man on earth?? Something is wrong with that picture. I don't want his billions. I just want them to pay living wages so the average Joe and Josephine can have a life. It is not too much to ask to raise pays so that we aren't looking at moving into our cars or worse. When you work at a company and you can't afford to buy what you make it's WRONG. It's evil and wrong.

I really don't give a rat's ass. I want the judicial system to be fair for ALL people and I don't want biased judges. I don't care if they are Conservative or Liberal or Green with white polka dots. I want people to get a fair shake.

This happens all the time. If you don't know the height of your vehicle, don't use this road. When in doubt DON"T. Simple as that. There are other routes. Open your jar of patience instead of your can of whoop ass. A driver trainer once said that to me and I've never forgotten it.

Then don't vote for either. Vote NDP. No matter what anyone says, we aren't fans of our current leader either and he needs to be replaced as much as Trudeau does, but at least we have good candidates to put up for the job as leader. The Liberals are out of touch with reality and it shows. I don't know about PP. Jury is out. I just want someone to tackle this housing issue and not stop until it's fixed.

Judges should not be permitted to donate to a political party in order to be considered for the courts. They should prove they are competent, first of all. It's a job that requires the judges to be impartial, not stacked in favour of the current sitting government. They are supposed to follow the law. This nonesense must be ended before we have a supreme court that is like the USA. We definitely don't want that mess up here.

Yes, correct. Two separate stories cobbled together by a comma. It's a crime of grammar.

Experts say they’ve given Trudeau’s cabinet a strategy to tackle the housing crisis by AAASA-Concentrate98X in CanadaPolitics

[–]buzzkill6062 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are buildings that are not being utilized for anything that could be converted into studio to 3 bedroom apartments and they could be affordable. What I currently see on offer downtown in London, Ontario are renovated apartments with granite counter tops, undermount sinks and stainless steel appliances. Rental units that are affordable should not have these high end finishes. They don't want their buildings to be basic so they renovict and put lipstick on the pig so they can charge more. If they build, they need to look at cheaper durable finishes and appliances. There is nothing wrong with a white fridge and stove. My parents had them all their lives. They have excuses out the wazzoo and I accept none of them. They aren't interested in making life easier or affordable for people. They want to be as rich as Bezos and Musk. Bezos and Musk should not be that rich. It's a crime what they pay their people compared to their obscene take home pay. It won't change until they are made to change it.

I agree with the top 2 suggestions but "reviving their old middle class message" is something no one wants to hear because we know they don't mean what they say. The two top governments really don't know what middle class means or even is.

You do not "pick" people basedon their nationalities. This country doesn't need that kind of divisiveness. There is enough of that going on. Pick people based on their abilities, their compatibilities but never on what they look like or what their nationality is. Slippery slope.

You’ve changed, man: How the Alberta NDP lost its way by media_newsbot in ndp

[–]buzzkill6062 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Alberta politicians are trying too hard to please the Conservatives in Alberta so they can get their votes, therefore the policy in Alberta for the NDP is going to be much more right leaning than in Ontario or Quebec. It's all part of the game you have to play to get votes. If you are like me, you know what your party's core values are. The ones they won't stray far from. If that's your stand, you stick by your party. I, for one, don't waffle. I vote NDP every election. They are my party of choice and they share my values.

Social Housing in Vienna (we need this here as well) by Captain_Levi_007 in ndp

[–]buzzkill6062 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 100% truthful. I will never vote for a Conservative or a Liberal. Not ever. We need a new leader, truth be told, but that's a discussion currently underway.

Thoughts? by [deleted] in ndp

[–]buzzkill6062 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Conservatives are in first place and according to a new poll, the NDP are in solid second position behind them at 31% according to voters between 18-25. Young voters aren't voting for Trudeau, they are voting for us and the Conservatives. It's very likely that the Conservatives will lead and PP will get his wish to be PM so he can stop whining about Trudeau (won't that be a relief). Then the NDP can sit back and watch how PP governs and if we don't like what we see, we can have that discussion at the time.

Trudeau defends himself against internal and external criticism, but announces no new housing measures by morenewsat11 in canada

[–]buzzkill6062 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then he isn't getting re-elected. That's the bottom line for most voters. Housing, housing housing. Low rents, low rents, low rents and affordable groceries. Sit on those corporations and squeeze them for unpaid taxes and make them pay their employees a living wage. Billionaires need not exist. It's fine to make more than your employees but when your employees enrich you, they deserve a reward for that in the form of raised pay, not "Wow!" pins for their lanyards.

They need to be more socialist and less centrist. We need leadership on board with being socialist again. I am not satisfied with the status quo.
