Better watch out, or the Sim City riots will block the tracks at Renfrew and Grandview highway.

COV proclaimed Oct 3 as "Chip Wilson day" just after he put up the NDP/Communist sign.

As I’ve said before.. everyone in politics is an idiot.

whitev70r 11-05-2024 12:52 PM

Conspiracy theorists ... arise

Man, is this negligence or what? Box of votes went missing !!

Given the type of people working the election sites, I can’t say I’m surprised.

It’s not a conspiracy, it’s just typical govt. incompetence. People should hold people accountable when shit like this happens because it obviously undermines the whole process, especially when it’s weeks after the election.. what a joke

westopher 11-05-2024 01:11 PM

I think a bigger issue would be if there was some sort of coverup. This was a serious issue but it was brought to public as soon as it was known.
Wouldn't the "corrupt leftwing media" everyone likes to spout off about cover this up after an NDP win if that were the case?

Well would you look at that... rent prices started to decline despite some people on here saying its impossible without the Cons:

Rest in Peace, Mr. Horgan.

Former BC Premier John Horgan passes away at age 65 from thyroid cancer.

Oh shxt... RIP, Hulk Horgan. :'(

westopher 11-12-2024 11:17 AM

Bummer. Didn't get to enjoy his retirement. Very sad.

Harvey Specter 11-12-2024 12:07 PM

Despite political differences, everyone respected Horgan. He was a good guy. RIP.

whitev70r 11-12-2024 12:40 PM

That's sad ... good man. Didn't say much and it is private and personal, my assumption is that his cancer came back? 65 ... oh man :heckno:

In June this year, Horgan told CBC that he had been diagnosed with cancer for a third time during a routine followup appointment for his previous throat cancer.

...

Earlier this year, he was diagnosed with thyroid cancer.

"It is the third instance of cancer I have had but I remain confident and hopeful that I will again live long and prosper," he said in a June statement.

that's big considering politics these days i don't think politicians could/would say 1 nice thing about their opponents if asked.

Hondaracer 11-13-2024 02:42 PM

Politicians like him are (literally) a dieing breed

People who others, and the public, actually respect.

i know we all see that minimum wage jobs have been taken over from TFW's, but I didn't know that meant managers too.

Damn, only $46K salary to be a Burger King manager. This is what I expected the salary of a manager to be 30 years ago.

I met a guy working at Lids of all places. He started chatting me up and said he was from the Philippians (not sure if this was true or he had just lived there previously as he was very clearly an Indian guy, with an Indian accent, etc.)

He explained to me he had some “masters in digital marketing” almost certainly from a Coquitlam college type place etc.

He then went on to explain how, as a TFW looking for PR, you get “3 points” a month towards PR instead of 1 point as a regular wage slave. Said even though he figured he could get a better job he stays as the manager because it’s the avenue to his PR in 1/3 the time it would otherwise. He also said that’s why these low end management jobs are in high demand by TFW.

Yuck.

If he brings value sure. He can at least do the basic math and planning to get himself ahead. A lot of these TFWs don't.

Hondaracer 11-13-2024 04:23 PM

If he actually brought value, he probably wouldn’t be in that position

Like I said before, the whole program is just based on exploitation of people to cheapen wages for large businesses. I have 2 people in the LMIA program at work, and I pay them exactly what I'd pay anyone else. I hired them based on their attitudes and skill and don't really give a shit where they came from. Value is value in staff.

hud 91gt 11-13-2024 07:30 PM

I just watched a PP ad that flashed up. If I didn’t know anything else I’d totally be voting for him.

Axe the tax, affordable houses, bring it home or some shit. Was simple, catchy and the simpletons will totally buy in. If he keeps it up, he’s gonna win.

Hondaracer 11-13-2024 07:45 PM

Bra he doesn’t have to do any of those thing and he’s gonna win.

Lol that bring it home line in the ads is cheesy af and sounds so fake. Gives me a chuckle when I hear it on the radio.

This is unfortunately true, he just has to not do anything totally illegal between now and then………. And he might even be able to recover from that if he did lol
