This woman is such fucking trash. Regardless of the video. Speaks volumes about the party that she is the interim leader.

Hondaracer 05-13-2022 11:04 AM

Jagmeet gets fucking destroyed at a public appearance and the guy throws up his arms questioning why? Lol

Why are people calling me a traitor? Hmm maybe because you abandoned your entire base to side with the liberals who couldn’t care less about your agenda?

We all saw the guy is somewhat of a dimwit in those previous debates but recent events kind of paint him as a further imbecile.

Lol at least NDP are actually doing what they can to contribute to ANYTHING happening in parliament while you have an entire Conservative party running the “devils advocate” model. Just argue and do your best to prevent anything from happening good or bad because turd big meanie.

Hondaracer 05-13-2022 11:15 AM

What are the NDP doing? Propping up a govt. that couldn’t get majority support?

They are just grasping at a sliver of power with their fingertips they otherwise wouldn’t have if they didn’t bend over to the coalition

You mean the decision by the Supreme Court of 9 judges where 5 were appointed by Harper?

Would their goal be to have no power, since they can’t have all the power? Seems like what any party would do as the goal is to, you know, govern. If NDP is woven this tightly into the liberal government it means the power that hangs in the balance is theirs to swing one way or the other.
56% of Canadians voted for a government left of center, 35% voted right and about 9% voted for France. It could be pretty clearly argued that where the balance of power sits now is exactly what the majority wants.

It’s actually the other way around. 5 of them were brought in under Trudeau:

westopher 05-13-2022 11:35 AM

Actually, the 5th one was appointed by both Harper and Trudeau. He left and was brought back. Doesn’t seem all that partisan.
Edit: I misread, he was actually appointed by Harper, and then promoted from puisne Justice to Chief Justice by Trudeau.

westopher 05-13-2022 11:37 AM

And either way, I agree with you, the decision was a fucking travesty, but the work of the liberal government, it wasn’t.

GLOW 05-13-2022 11:43 AM

wtf i thought when that 1 cop that slammed booze after nailing someone with his car and getting off sparked a change to close that loophole, now they're saying it can apply to everything else? is this real life?

westopher 05-13-2022 11:45 AM

That was pretty different though. Him slamming a bunch of booze brought the integrity of the BAC testing into play in court as they couldn’t prove he was shitfaced when he hit the person.
Same shit as Kevin O learys wife slamming drinks at the cabin after she killed that person in the boat crash.
“Oh I only had half a glass of wine before the accident. I slammed a bunch after”

That's a shit take.
You're going to completely gloss over the actions the other party had in causing that incident?

westopher 05-13-2022 12:38 PM

They didn’t have their lights on. Does that change any of what I said about the drinking?
What’s a shit fucking idea is to slam some drinks while you’re waiting for the police to show up after a motor vehicle accident, unless you’re trying to hide how many drinks you had before the accident.

I was lucky enough to talk to Jagmeet in person and one of the things he talked about is bringing dental and pharma care to all Canadians. Look what's happening now. Jagmeet cares more about pushing his agenda than getting into power. The cons don't care about making Canada better, all they care about is getting into power.

Many Canadians are happy with JT in power and would be OK with Singh in power.

Anything but conservitive.

Hondaracer 05-13-2022 12:50 PM

If you’re happy with the current situation as an NDP voter, you’re just ignorant is all.

FTFY

Fook that dental plan nonsense (at least the way they want it set up that is -- good idea but the way they want to execute it is not good)

A lot of people think we would not be any better off under a con government many think we would be worse off. Looking at what they have done in the last year and the debates can you blame them? Social issues and conspiracy theories are killing the con party.

It's not even close to perfect but better than nothing. What have the cons put forward?

I think hondaracer is saying if you voted for ndp you expect ndp (not ndp/liberal combo). Same thing if you marry a woman but then find out she is sleeping with her brother then you wouldn’t have married her.

But at the end of the day your one vote for green/blue/orange/red really have minimal impact on your life. Reading books and applying that knowledge is far more powerful than ticking a box on a piece of paper expecting that a bloated out of touch political party thousands of kilometres away has your best interest.
