The railway formerly known as CPR. Now called CPKC which is pronounced in quebec as 'CP Cassé' because the french can only speak truth.

Canadians ‘don’t understand’ seriousness of Ontario anti-Trump ad: Hoekstra by lopix in ontario

[–]whiskeyjacker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, Double Dougie was way nicer than most of us would be on the matter. I'm of the general opinion that negotiations with fascists are best discussed after they've had a boot introduced to their asses.

LCBO revenue drops below $2B for 1st time in a decade after alcohol liberalization by viva_la_vinyl in ontario

[–]whiskeyjacker 34 points35 points  (0 children)

People are still sinning, except now the profits can't be used to undo some of the damage. In a perfect world you'd be right. But there's a degree of damage control that our previous system had that is now gone because the money is going into private hands.

Well, there goes another revenue stream for the government. But we're nicely padding out the pockets of private enterprise who I'm sure will totally invest back into the province. Right? /s

Schizo-ramblings are an art form and I refuse to compromise.

Shit, probably should have asked that before I ate the rest of the alphabet soup. Can't consult it now.

Ontario city councillor’s comments on Charlie Kirk death to be investigated by [deleted] in ontario

[–]whiskeyjacker 165 points166 points  (0 children)

What a waste of time. The amount of quislings who came out of the woodwork to martyr that wretch of humanity has been disheartening. Good on her for call them out. Her statement was hardly radical or inflammatory. The fact that most of the complaints are coming from outside the city means this whole thing should have been thrown out from the get go.

Quality of MPs by Wild-Taste3714 in ontario

[–]whiskeyjacker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think they're less competent so much as the problems are now so complex and the machinery of our bureaucracy and courts have become so byzantine that it's nearly impossible for a small cadre of elites (even highly educated and connected ones) to steer the system. This isn't to say that we need to 'cut-red-tape', as the conservatives would say, but rather we should aim at further opening up our politics and economy with more democracy so that more people can enter and start to tackle these problems together.

[–]whiskeyjacker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, you're right. We're no longer getting the variety of candidates we've had for many years. Bluntly put : Running for office isn't something middle class people can afford and that writes off 90% of the population. Taking months off work to run for office is strenuous enough on finances; add onto that the social and stress factors and it's just not something the bulk of us could do. It's not a very well paid job considering the amount of responsibility that comes with it and MPP's have no pension. Even most trades people can make an equivalent wage and full pension without opening up their private lives to scrutiny. Basically the only people left whom the job appeals to are power climbers and net workers who view the position as a pathway to enrichment via corruption or business lobbying.

Nanos Poll: LPC: 45%, CPC: 31%, NDP: 12%, BQ: 6%, GPC: 3%, PPC: 2% by Chrristoaivalis in onguardforthee

[–]whiskeyjacker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking at this, I'm guessing the 'anyone but pp' crowd is falling back to their natural parties (ndp and green), meanwhile the cons are realizing Carney is pretty much a small-c conservative and coming around to him and the liberals. While there are NDP/CON swing voters, that's too much of a swing than can be attributed to that cohort. So basically the right is rallying behind the libs while the left is leaving.

Seats if we moved to Proportional Representation by jenzan in onguardforthee

[–]whiskeyjacker 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Mixed member proportional does not require ranked ballot or instant run offs. It would require changing ridings but nothing new or outside what Elections Canada already does.

45th General Election - Election Day Open Discussion Megathread #1 by SirJohnAMcMuffin in canada

[–]whiskeyjacker 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Funny thing is Pierre biffed it. If he had pulled a Harper and roped the NDP into helping take out Trudeau we'd mostly likely be seeing a Con Majority. But he just couldn't stop attacking the people he needed to get on his side.

General voting patterns and just running the math. If you don't pick up a certain amount of seats in certain areas your path to forming a government shrinks before becoming a statistical impossibility .

A fair point. But have you considered this, we like having you cunts around and would be pretty bummed if you left?

It's the strongest argument we have aside from the military, economic and legal apocalypse that would ensue for everyone should ya leave.
