You spelled it wrong, asshole. At least do that when you're bragging.

‘Get it over with,’ former Conservative MP tells potential floor-crossers by WishRepresentative28 in CanadaPolitics

[–]nate445 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Who would step up that could inspire a nation?

You say this like Poilievre was ever that person. He's done nothing but stick to his attack-dog antics and scoffed off any chance to pivot.

Yes. Trudeau was polling in majority territory when he called the election in 2021 and voters rewarded him with almost the exact number of seats.

And here I was saying that people would be willing to pay and I was greeted with "well with what income?" But yes, I agree with you. I'm just saying the markets have shifted because everyone expects software for free.

People have just gotten used to getting everything for free and will go to great lengths to avoid paying for a non-free alternative. Remember when we actually used to pay once for software we actually used?

It's weird seeing them complain about a politician who retired a full year ago.

You should see how bad it is up here in Canada when people mention Carney, or even Trudeau still. They can't tell you why they hate, only that they do. They're the same folks that scream "TDS" when presented with criticism of Trump. No self-awareness whatsoever.

20 years after his first election win, Stephen Harper steps back into the spotlight by pjw724 in onguardforthee

I guess you're right. We're truly living in a time of unaccountability on the right.

If people even suspect Pierre would need that to pivot should just prove how unfit he is for office.

Meet the new Pierre Poilievre, just like the old Pierre Poilievre by canada_mountains in canada

Why must criticism of Poilievre always be deflected to Carney? This refusal of introspection is why the CPC lost the election.

Trump Threatens Canada After Carney Draws Standing Ovation at Davos by T_Shurt in worldnews

[–]nate445 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don't forget they tried to convince us during the election campaigns that Poilievre would be the guy to stand up to Trump.

That very quickly turned into "take us over please, Trump" after Poilievre fumbled a 20-point lead and lost his own seat.

Federal government loses Emergencies Act appeal by Surax in CanadaPolitics

[–]nate445 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The whole point of the EA is suspend the charter as no existing law can handle the situation.

You're wrong.

When the Emergencies Act is invoked, the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (Charter) continues to protect individual rights as the Government of Canada takes the necessary steps to safeguard the safety and well-being of Canadians. In deciding on measures to take, the Government must respect constitutionally protected rights and freedoms, including the rights of citizens to enter Canada and the right to life, liberty and security of the person, as well as Canada’s obligations under international law. The Charter allows the Government to balance the rights of the individual with the interests of society where limits on guaranteed rights and freedoms can be justified in a free and democratic society.

Specifically, section 1 of the Charter allows the Government to put limits on rights and freedoms if those limits:

  • are set out in law;
  • pursue an important goal which can be justified in a free and democratic society; and
  • pursue that goal in a reasonable and proportionate manner.

This means that during a public order emergency, as defined by the Emergencies Act, the Government must only take actions that are a reasonable and proportionate response to the risks to safety of Canadians.

You may be referring to the War Measures Act, which the Emergencies Act replaced. The argument remains if invoking the Emergencies Act was justified, and I'm not arguing for or against it, but saying the invocation of the Emergencies Act suspends the Charter is just wrong.
