I’m sure the libs have more than enough of their membership doing the same. It’s a non-partisan issue as far as I’m concerned. Inv4zn laid it out pretty well.

Anyone in power has enough influence to work the system to their benefit. None of us have that luxury.

The people I mentioned in another thread who I grew up with who’ve never worked a day in their lives yet are driving 100K+ rides and living in 2 million dollar homes through grow ops and tax scams are -nothing- compared to what’s out there. Yet plebs like us just mindlessly pay our taxes on time and live in poverty compared to most of these people.

We live in a society where it’s considered racist to ask where the guy driving a 600k Phantom living in a 8 million dollar home got his money from. He just got here yesterday but his contacts at Rolls Royce are legit so good enough for our govt! It’s fucking disgusting and it’s been a non-stop game long before all this casino money laundering BS was around.

These situations are bad for everyone, and if no party has the balls to fix it, it doesn’t matter who’s in power we’re all fucked. The funny thing is, the longer this shit goes on, the more ir makes me want to find ways to avoid paying taxes. And as a result, the system as a whole suffers. Healthcare, socia programs, etc.

I agree that both parties have members pulling that crap, or have buddies in the companies that are doing it on an even larger scale. But I still don't see where in there the Cons will actually do anything about it. So if neither of the major parties is going to do anything, why support the party that wants to send society back several decades and gut social programs just so they can funnel the money to their buddies companies instead?

^Those #TrudeauMustGo tweets with "I'm a working (insert some blue collar job) electrician, I fuck my wife daily, I shoot guns, and I'm tired of the woke agenda. Trudeau seems to think I'm a criminal for loving my woman as a straight white man" are cringe as fuck :lol

Do people actually fall for this Psyop garbage? Have we learned nothing about Cambridge Analytica?

If anyone is interested in the subject I recommend this book by Christopher Wylie. He's a Canadian data analyst from here in BC, started his career in data consulting for the Liberal party, eventually ending up in England working for Cambridge and that whole debacle. His story is quite interesting and illuminating to how these misinformation campaigns work.

:lol Also... "Imma Family man/woman. I love my family. And my Children. We need someone who stands for FAMILY values! Who knows where Justin Trudeau comes from? I heard he doesn't even have a family and was created in a test tube from pure concentrated Liberal tears"...insert random "my body my choice" anti-vaxx rant while at the same time being obviously anti-choice.

Off Topic but did you all get that Amber Alert last night? Turns it it was some anti-vaxx hippie nutbar stealing her own child from BC Children's hospital being treated for Meningitis.

I get what you’re trying to say, but it’s kind of hard to relate Justin as the typical “family man” given his family history. There aren’t too many people in this country more detached from a normal family life

I don’t think you could show me a successful politician that isn’t worlds apart from a normal Canadian.

That's the thing though, does any politician or anyone in the limelight have a "normal" family life? It's like republicans who extol "Family Values" all the time and elect someone like Trump.

Hondaracer 09-22-2022 08:21 AM

I’d argue PP is far more normal than Justin, born and raised in politics. Of means, wealth, and influence that even many billionaires don’t have. And that was all before he became PM.

Private jets to private islands with the family friend the aga Khan? Very relatable

68style 09-22-2022 08:30 AM

Full disclosure, I know a few people who are older than me including 1 guy that was best friends with Justin for years when he lived in the lower mainland... he was very much separated from politics and wealth when younger, so I think he did grow up somewhat normal.

I mean he worked as a public school teacher didn't he? How much more relatable is that? He rented an apartment, he went partying and drinking in downtown with the guy I know regularly... he had a gf that was apparently a stripper at one point...

Seems like a pretty normal guy to me. He's suffered family tragedy that none of us have... perhaps that teaches you something about enjoying life when opportunities do present themselves.

Again, I don't like SOME of his policies and the party is leaning a bit too far left sometimes for my liking... but he genuinely is a good guy from everyone I have talked to including this guy (who showed me MANY photos of them together) who said he doesn't like his politics at all... but that JT is a really good dude.

underscore 09-22-2022 09:36 AM

The guy who has been involved in politics since 16, and whose job history is almost entirely just being an MP for 18 years since he became one at 25? Sure Trudeau grew up wealthy but saying a career politician is more normal is laughable.

highfive 09-22-2022 12:31 PM

Bet you guys that they make it sound like they hate each other but behind the scenes they become buddy buddy. They're all part of the same old boy's club. It's all a damn show and we're the one paying for the production of it.

He became one at 23 and had a full government pension at the age of 31.

Jagmeet is your typical immigrant story except his dad was a massive alcoholic who almost died. His karate teacher was also a big pedo. Jagmeet has worked a lot of min wage jobs including one at Randy River.

Went to the all candidate's meet and greet and asked all the candidates if they were vaxxed.

What the fuck kind of Hunger Games shit is going on over there on the island these days?

68style 09-23-2022 06:57 AM

Somehow the statement that shocks me the most is that anyone likes Rudy Giuliani

Vancouver Island for all it's beauty is an island of insanity when it comes to politics. People there are "different".

The island is very left but because it is one of the best places in Canada you get a lot of people from places like Alberta.


Anyone know what happened to the anti sogi candidates? You don't see then anymore.
