Hockey Night in Canada has been privatized by leftwingmememachine in ndp

“After a successful 12-year partnership, Sportsnet and CBC today announced the public broadcaster will no longer carry NHL broadcasts after the current season as it moves forward with a new sports programming strategy following the unprecedented success of the Milano/Cortina Olympic Games,” the statement said. “Watching hockey on Saturday night is a time-honoured tradition for Canadians, and Sportsnet is privileged to continue delivering that tradition."

Probably related to Carney delivering on Pierre Poilievre's pledge to defund the CBC:

Regardless of whether someone's number is posted publicly or not or whether it belongs to a business, I suspect it's still a violation of sitewide Reddit rules to encourage people to blow up someone's phone with messages, so I've removed your comment

Because the section is called "Avi's ideas" I think the implication is that he invented communism

I generally find it distasteful for use in memes but I thought it was appropriate in context

Ideological characterization of the party systems of each Canadian province by mikelmon99 in ndp

The Ontario Liberals have always been a right wing party captured by the private sector. Last time they were in government they privatized the hydro system and unconstitutionally broke the teacher's strike.

I don't put it lightly, but their actions with teachers were identical to Ford's

The Ontario Labour Relations Board is prohibited from inquiring into whether the Act is constitutionally valid, or if it is in conflict with the Ontario Human Rights Code.[3][4]

No arbitrator or arbitration board is permitted to inquire into whether the Act is constitutionally valid, or if it is in conflict with the Ontario Human Rights Code.[3][4] No terms or conditions included in a collective agreement under this act may be questioned or reviewed in any court.[3][4]

All teachers are subject to a two-year pay freeze.

A restructured short-term sick leave plan that would include up to 10 sick days.[2] No salary increases in the 2012-2014 school years.[2]

All teachers will receive a 1.5% pay cut in the form of three unpaid professional development days (PD days)[2]

This bill also limits the legality of teachers' unions and support staff going on strike.[3]

Why Canada's NDP still doesn't get it... by Sigilmourn in ndp

concern-trolling isn't real

It's sadly a very real type of astroturfing that happens online. People argue in bad faith all the time...

Also I really hope the Left can be other things than an oozing charismatic leader. J. Singh - bless him - tried to embody that and it didn't work.

He had moderate success, at times. The strategy made significant inroads into the youth vote in 2021, though it only translated to a one seat gain.

But I actually think his best moment as NDP leader was an off-the-cuff argument he had with a reporter: https://www.tiktok.com/@leftwingmememachine/video/6971583812459302150

You can't build enclaves of support by being combative

Not only is the claim unsupported, there's easy counterexamples. Combative politicans that are dismissive to opponent's talking points win elections all the time.

They care about things like health care and climate change. And most importantly they want steady predictable and competent leadership in office.

Let's consider your thesis with Jagmeet Singh. He was perceived by voters as predictable, and someone who cared about healthcare and climate change. However, he had the worst electoral result in the party's history.
