Instead of recognizing his talents he's labelled as a WEF globalist from looney right wing media.

Show me an example where a multi-billionaire businessman came in and fixed a state/country.

Every move this guy has ever made is for personal gain.

The other "banner achievement" that the Crusty Clark gov managed to do is turning a blind eye to all that casino money laundering.

And then there is the $1.3B ICBC dumpster fire debt/deficit that her Liberals left us with as well.

She is just lovely, isn't she?

Stay classy Kelowna.

Also how fucking stupid do you have to be that you go in intending to vote AGAINST the Liberals, then look down at your ballot and not even see a Liberal candidate on it :facepalm:

68style 10-22-2024 06:55 AM

I guess NDP is just whacky libs to right wingers anyway

Hondaracer 10-22-2024 07:02 AM

Steal from the veterans, give to the refugees

nah the logic is pretty easy to follow.

A cranky old bitch arrives at the voting place with an axe to grind against turd.

Bitch looks down on the ballot and doesn't see Liberal on there and instead some shit about BC United.

While I don’t give much credit to your average person, castanet certainly got their airtime with that same clip posted under numerous accounts

It's so cute when conservatives talk about the veterans and homeless to justify their disdain for refugees. Like they have ever advocated for money or housing for either of those groups.

Yea it’s way more effective just to feign interest in them.

Cons spend 95% of their time on "What about???" rage statements and 5% of their time on actual policy or action.

LOL BC United wasn't even on the ballot in Kelowna (or anywhere are they defunct now?) Only NDP, Cons, Green, and some Independent mofo.

I agree with you. A prime example of a wealthy financier/investment banker becoming a prime minister is Rishi Sunak.

Look what happened to the UK economy under the former PM Sunak haha:


https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-63345272

Mr Sunak himself worked for investment bank Goldman Sachs and at two hedge funds before becoming an MP.

noclue 10-22-2024 10:52 AM

There’s a difference between a guy from a rich family who went to boarding school and investment bank experience vs a guy that was a bank governor twice with experiences guiding a country through multiple financial crisis (2008 housing and brexit)

And brexit is a clear example not to follow populist opinions, didnt stop migrants/immigrants and fucked the UK economy.

supafamous 10-22-2024 11:17 AM

A lot of voters are stupid - my mom (who lives in East Van) voted for the Cons and said it was because they'd make the Massey tunnel bigger (like who fucking cares?) while my brother in law (who is otherwise decently accomplished in life) didn't realise the election was a provincial one this past week.

He said it in front of me and I had to withhold my laughter and outrage that he didn't know something that seems to basic.
