Westopher, the fact that you ignore over 2000+ years of the utilization of eunuchs across several imperial empires... you are basically showing that you have zero clue of history.

Like seriously bruh... zero hate... I bet you have a good heart as a person, you just don't have a grasp of history or power structures.

Even with a desperate reach for man->woman transitioning, that has zero to do with woman->man transitioning. I'm not the one who keeps bringing this up either. I'd be happy to not talk about it but you never shut the fuck up about it no matter how irrelevant it is to the conversation that's going on.

If you live in a society that accepts the hoax that a man can become a woman, or a woman can become a man... that society can fall for ANY lie.

Use your brain bro... think.

What’s interesting is that Doug Ford doesn’t want to help the Conservatives federally, which, in my opinion, will be a massive blow to PP.

Doug Ford telling PP that his team is too busy to help the federal Cons is hilarious.

Latest poll results: https://angusreid.org/canadian-elect...-bloc-polling/

Libs up 8%!! Vote commitment is lower than with Cons though - the Cons have a pretty solid floor of high 20s or 30% support but the Libs do not. This is the glow of a new leader who hasn't said too much.

Doug Ford is thinking strategically. He wants to be PM of the country someday. Little PP losing is a benefit to him.

I expect Carney to have a pretty weak performance in the French debate. He is gonna say his things in some fluent but straight forward French, and then when PeePee doles out the attack, he is gonna be on the defensive the entire time.

I wonder how much a performance like that would hurt him in Quebec though because I really have no idea.

Carney's media team has already knocked it out of the park. Get Skinny Puppet on board. Get him to ban my account if the Liberals lose. I'm ALMOST confident enough toi say the Libs will win a majority.

Little PP has the charisma of a puddle of vomit.

All art in modern times is made by people in alignment with the system. Conservatives are so stupid, or so willfully ignorant to ignore this fact, that they are DOOMED to fucking lose.

Can anyone reading this post, ANY of you fuckers, can you point out ONE PIECE OF CULTURAL ART that highlights the power of conservatism? OF FUCKING COURSE NOT. THERE IS NO CONSERVATIVE CANADIAN ART.

Jesus Christ. I appreciate the Canadian conservative friends and allies I have, but you all need to understand, without art on your side, you've already lost. Art directly converts into culture through people's minds. People vote for what they're INSPIRED by, not 3 word slogans. Fucking CHRIST... Conservatives deserve to lose.

Mark this post, if Liberals lose, Skinny, please ban me. I'm 99.9% sure the Liberals will win. They've already won hearts and minds. Conservatives have no ammo at all.


Jason00S2000 03-24-2025 11:05 PM

Western society is so woke, so stupid, and so fucking gay, that simply saying things like "women don't have a penis" and that "children can't consent to puberty blockers" is quickly becoming illegal.

Shitbag, worthless coward boomers don't stand up and say jack shit, because they only have their comfortable positions as asset holders to lose. They are the ultimate traitors, and, personally, I hope people like my own father die alone, unloved, in shit-filled diapers because they prioritized their own comfort above any sense of duty.

I'm 46, and I've realized, we're already at war. Life was so easy for me for like 20 years, until COVID was the gigantic bitch slap that I needed to wake me up to the fact that if you don't play along with the system, the system will happily ruin your life and kill you, while your peers stand around and say you deserved it for resisting.

Bet my life if I transitioned to be Jasmine Bryan, the system would reward me with so much money and positive attention, so brave, what hero for transitioning to a woman, while my real self, Jason Bryan, is punished by the system for resisting all of the bullshit and lies.


Jason00S2000 03-24-2025 11:08 PM

My advice to bros...

Just get rich. The system is setup in a way that resistance is impossible. Watch the above video. Just get rich. If you can legally use and abuse people, fucking do it. If you can find ways to rip off boomers and steal their money and get away with it, do it. They 100% support the state in crushing you to support their lifestyles, so if you can get a leg up on them, do it. All is fair in love and war. That's the only way to win. Crush throats, gouge eyes, bite people. 2025+ is tooth and nail. Kill or be killed.

Poilievre called income tax “the fine you pay for the crime of working hard.”
I find statements like this just gross and unbecoming of someone wanting to lead our country. Taxes are what pays for the things that make working hard pay off. It pays for the roads, the clean air & water, the police, the firefighters, the doctors, the nurses, the lights, and the schools (and so on and so on). Without those things your hard work leads to very little - ask those early settlers how hard it was to build a life.

It's not a fine to pay taxes, it's a privilege.

The real discussion is how much of that infrastructure do we believe we need and how do we effectively deploy it so we get the most benefits from it. If you PP doesn't believe foreign aid is valuable and wants to return that money back to the people then make that case (and vice versa). If Carney thinks $10 daycare is a worthwhile investment then make that case and raise taxes to fund it. If either thinks a pipeline to the east needs to happen and gov't needs to participate in building it then make the case and tell us how much it'll cost us and what benefits we get from it.

But don't fucking tell people that paying taxes is a fine. You're a fucking jerk if you are.

Hondaracer 03-25-2025 06:57 AM

More taxes please papa

I agree taxes pay for a lot of things, but when you look into systems like Norway etc. where the tax rate is even higher, their health outcomes are better than Canada in every single category. Also seem to focus largely on preventive care and early detection where as in Canada, you wait a month to see a doctor for an ear infection.

Roads are pretty shit, my garbage regularly gets missed, recycling is contracted out to crack heads to dump shit all over the lanes. It took CoV 3 months to fix a street light that basically rendered my entire block pitch black at night, etc. etc.

I pay all my taxes, never cheat on them etc. I do everything by the book, and then I got audited for the empty homes tax. Awesome.

Some of this stuff you could take away and most people wouldn’t even notice. I feel like, in typical Canadian fashion, people have zero resistance to tax increases when the end result is lower quality services, contracting out those services, or cutting services all together. It’s the Canadian way.

Most people would consider it a burden but ok dude.

I dont mind paying taxes but what I do mind is how government spends it all and come up with new taxes instead of cutting costs such as

1. Property transfer tax
2. Luxury tax on new and used cars
3. PST on used cars
4. Foreigner RE tax, speculation & vacancy tax (did fuck all for lowering housing prices)

This 100%. Europeans look at Americans like they're fucking nuts in this idea of absolute hatred of taxes.

You can't complain about your country being shit, meanwhile trying to abdicate your fiscal responsibility to contributing to the better health of that country. Ronny Chieng makes an excellent joke about this:


This gremlin idea of absolute tax avoidance of libertarians and conservatives is something I absolutely disagree with on a fundamental level. If you think you shouldn't pay taxes, you're a leech on society, and you should move to Mogadishu, a wonderful place with no taxes.

PP's words on this subject are disgusting for someone who is looking to lead this country.

Honda, for the record I am a firm supporter of the changes to the cap gains tax levels, and disappointed by Carney's pivot on that. I also recognize that ship has sailed, and the winds are blowing in a different direction now from an economic standpoint, he had to move more center on that policy in order to have a viable campaign.

#1 was originally intended to slow down real estate speculation back in 1987 (we've been ignoring the root cause of real estate prices for well over 40 years) and #4 is just the natural evolution of #1 b/c, again, we kept ignoring the root cause of why prices were going up. Neither were going to lower housing prices - they were just there to add friction to the process and slow down the rise of housing prices and they do actually work, it's just that there are better ways to achieve their goals (build more housing).

You may not like these specific taxes but all four are partly the reason why BC has some of the lowest income tax rates in the country. We're trading one form of taxation for another. The PPT brings in about $2b in revenue and income taxes bring in about $16b - if we got rid of the PPT (which I think we should do over time) we'd have to increase income taxes to make up the difference (we should do this anyways b/c we're running some pretty big deficits right now).

If you were centre-right (or communist) you would have said First Nations or Indigenous.

I honestly don't think debate performance will affect the results of the election, they rarely do.
