Jason did you join your brothers at the trucker convoy protest in ottawa?
Fuck no, because I knew progressives would smear it and try any ruin anyone's life who were involved with it. Also, I was writing a ton at the time.
Now whenever you hear about the "trucker convoy" all you hear is how nazi flags were waved, Terry Fox was pissed on, people were beat up by angry far-right lunatics, women were assaulted, trans people were scared to leave their houses, etc etc etc. All with zero video evidence. Let's not even get into how many 2-minute hate posts are still made on Reddit by progressives with hundreds of comments hating on people who resisted the vaccine.
Meanwhile, it was 1 nazi flag and it was waved on the balcony of a hotel full of RCMP, and the CBC and nobody else has ever worked to ID the person who waved it. Complete and utter fakery.
Anything actually organic of a movement to fight the system is captured so fast by government operators. Remember, if you're resisting the system, you're resisting people with basically unlimited money and resouraces that are coordinated with massive teams of people to fuck over the nail that sticks up the highest. Those Palestine protests in Toronto and Vancouver? 100% supported by our government.
The only way to win in modern life is to get rich enough that you don't have to work and then just laugh at people who work 9-5, because those are the slave class people who buy into the fakery of "Liberal VS Conservative" and the establishment the most.

So who are you voting for? You're not a "libtard" but you're also not left leaning. You're not a fan of lil PP either.. and don't get me started on the NDP...

More left-leaning than you probably think, since I am a huge believer in free speech, art, free healthcare, and totally anti-authority. But also cannot stand the left's pathetic, communist drug gulags that are supported by all the same people who push all of the race-bait, 215 hoax, men in dresses, vaccines, woke shit, etc etc etc.
Probably not even going to vote.
My time is better used simply coding more apps to upload filth to the internet.
The only way to win is to get rich so you don't have to work and you can talk shit all you want without being cancelled or fired.
High IQ people will all eventually come to the same conclusion, that all politics are completely fake and gay, not playing is the winning strategy, and getting rich so you don't have to lift a finger working for anyone else is all that matters.
I mean, it is still fun to talk shit, so that's really the only reason to post about politics.

How bout voting maxime bernier and the ppc? They seem to be anti woke, right up your alley!
So cringe. Completely controlled opposition. Max is a total faker and they deliberately choose racist, low IQ candidates to push everyone who dissents from the mainstream into looking like backwoods, 3 tooth retards playing banjos.
Anyone with a shred of self-awareness retreats back into the limp-dick Little PP party where the conservatives basically just end up whining, crying, 0 vision, drinking Tim's on the way to their 9-5 job and talking hockey because they already know their party has lost. They can't keep their guns. They can't say "a woman doesn't have a penis", and they do nothing to create any inspiring art or culture.
Like I said in the other post, conservatives are always 3 steps behind and have no vision, nothing other than 3 word slogans and the biggest nerd as their leader.

This is about as positive and good a speech from PP as I've ever seen but it's still not very good though I can see how it does appeal to some folks. 75% of it sounds pretty good but the tone isn't great (he's so shouty and he has one speed, zero gravitas). His constant repetition about taxes is tiresome - like everything will be solved by tax cuts.
In contrast this is Carney's speech which does a better job telling his story and motivations, paints a bigger picture of the challenge ahead, and which is delivered with so much more gravitas (and in English and French)

The Liberals already have the election in the bag.
The guns will all be taken.
All masculine things will be painted as toxic.
The woke shit will ramp up twice as hard in 2026.

You know what's strange, there is still so much hatred for the convoy, yet...
...posts that complain about the Palestine protests are completely removed off Reddit. Nobody is allowed to criticize this, or even post any video about it. Doesn't that seem... odd? They can pray in the street and the police don't stop them from blocking anything. They have their smoke bombs and they're doing this every weekend with plenty of people in the crowd trying to prevent anyone from filming. You can even find video of them harassing people in food courts at malls in Toronto for donations.
Very strange. Anyways, good thing the Liberals are winning, again, so more of these types will be imported into the country. I bet HondaRacer doesn't even have any kids like your typical 40-something conservative voter.

The Liberals have tanked the economy in the last decade they were in power. Canada performs the absolute worse among the G7.
Yes, but the people who hold the assets got rich. The people suffering are the people, generally, who work 9-5 jobs.
Boomers and gen x will vote Liberal, same with immigrants and anyone who wants to be a boomer, and the boomer-adjacent.
I know you're a conservative fan, but the problem is, the Liberal party just elected their polished globalist banker and got all the boomers fired up. Look at the rallies Mark's been to, it is a grey hair convention... and those people VOTE. Look up the numbers for young people, the voter turnout is so low.
If the cons win the election, I will stop posting on RevScene, I'm that confident that the Liberals will win. Progressives own the media, arts, big tech, and they control the cultural engines of this country. They are unstoppable as long as conservatives don't learn how to make their own art and make real impact on culture again.

I mean, the ultra smug Liberals in Ontario thought Doug Ford would lose and he just got another term. Don't under estimate the Conservatives and how well they resonate with young people and immigrants.

But is Doug Ford actually very conservative? I don't know, I only liked Rob Ford!

Ultra smug Liberals in Ontario? Are you living in some other parallel universe, buddy?
Even back in Dec 2024 when there was widespread speculation that Ford would call an early election, there had never been any doubts that Ford was well on his way to secure yet another majority gov. The question was mostly a matter of how big that majority would remain, and who would win the race for the title of the Official Opposition.
My only surprise was that the Liberals did as poorly as they did, and their popular vote suggested that they were very inefficient in their vote spread -- almost 30% popular vote vs NDP's 18.5%, but only 14 seats vs the NDP's 27.

I live in Toronto. Yes, the media here thought Doug Ford was going to lose LOL. The NDP got brutally crushed and the stupid twat couldn't even win her own seat.

Looking forward to the conservatives winning.
Based on their record over their last 10 years do the Liberals deserve another term? Nope.
Based on the circumstances of a trade war with the US lead by a (far) right President, a highly qualified Liberal leader with an impeccable economic resume, and an uninspiring Conservative leader who is aligned with Trump who has little to no evidence of legislative success despite 20 years of gov't service could the Liberals win? Sure looks like it.
If the election is fought over the past 10 years the Liberals lose 10/10 times, if the election is fought over the next 10 years the Liberals win 9/10 times.

What do you mean by Poilievre is aligned with Trump? Proof????
Just because the liberals got some fresh meat in the titty bar doesn't mean she will be dancing there the next week. His lead is going to weaken when his new car smell wears off quickly.

I mean it's been his whole shtick since he became leader - hanging with the Proud Boys, interviews with Jordan Peterson, being a convoy supporter. He's been a lighter, not corrupt version of Danielle Smith alignment wise. His political slogans are practically stolen from Trump - the Liberals have easy material on this front to paint him as a MAGA guy just based on how his speeches and slogans are such a close match to Trump's.
It's only in the last 6 weeks that it's been blowing up on him and he's now going around trying to toe the lie between keeping his MAGA support while defending Canada (witness him being the last leader to come out against 51st state nonsense, he was toeing the Trump line about it being a drug and border security issue when it was total nonsense).
It's only a matter of degrees of alignment with Trump/MAGA, not whether he's aligned himself with him. A sizeable amount of his support comes from MAGA-land and he's courted them vigorously. Maybe he's doing it only to keep them onboard, maybe that's who he really is (I don't think that's the case).

And thus I still lean (slightly) towards the Cons winning at this point but this is a huge change compared to 8 weeks ago - I think Carney, at the time, was signing up so he could lose. Now he's legitimately able to think about winning and the winds are blowing for him.

???
The media here was all about how much more of a majority he will get and not that he was going to lose at all. And the second part wasnt even the NDP, it was the Liberal leader you are talking about.

You aren't really making a convincing case that he is pro-MAGA. He didn't really say much in support of Trump. Its the contrary.
As an aside, Jordan Peterson is a very interesting person. I had him as a prof when I went to UofT for a psych elective course I took.
The election is ultimately about the economy. The liberals will lose because their track record stinks and carney doesn't really diverge much from trudeau's positions.

If it hangs out with the ducks, talks like the ducks, supports the ducks then either he is a duck or he really wants to be liked by the ducks. I mean Danielle Smith also doesn't say much in support of Trump (nor does Wayne Gretzky) but no one is of any conclusion beyond saying that they are hard core MAGAs. Gretzky's silence speaks volumes about where he stands and so has PP's weak response to Trump's threats (until the last week or so). PP may not be a total simp for MAGA like JD Vance (or most of Trump's cabinet) but he most certainly MAGA-curious at the very least.

The "echo chamber" I'm in seems to have a number of Cons supporters upset that Carney is stealing their ideas - namely killing the carbon tax and dropping the GST on new homes - PP had to pull out a new version of his axe the tax idea (kill the industrial carbon tax) in response.
To say he doesn't diverge much from Trudeau's positions is just lazy analysis. Carney's a bit of a blank slate right now (it's why it's so easy to like him right now) because he hasn't released many of his policy positions (you can glean a lot of it from his book though) - he's been called a Conservative in Liberal clothing, he's been called a Communist (there's some Comrade Carney photoshops floating around), he's been called a clone of Trudeau, and he's been called a Trump's lackey (by Singh). I've seen lefties say they won't vote for him b/c he worked at Goldman and I've seen righties say they don't like him b/c he's a staunch believer in climate change.
