Twitter pulls Conservatives’ ‘Willy Wonka’ attack ad on Trudeau due to copyright
Oompa loompa doopety da.
If you respect copyright, then you will go far.
Twitter says it has pulled a Conservative Party attack ad against Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau from its platform after the studio behind Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory complained that a scene from its 1971 film had been used without permission.
The video posted by the official CPC account shows Trudeau’s face superimposed over that of Veruca Salt, the spoiled child who sings “I want it now” before things go awry for her in Wonka’s temptation-filled chocolate factory.

Canada's Recovery Plan will secure the future for you, your children and their children. Flag of Canada #SecureTheFuture
seems similar to this:
Quote:
14 Words is a code term to the white supremacist slogan "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children." Since their first appearance, the numbers 14 and 88, have had great symbolic importance to white supremacist groups. 1488 is a combination of the 14 words and 88, a numerical code for "HH" or "Heil Hitler," because "H" is the eighth letter in the English alphabet.
Quote:
Canada's Recovery Plan will secure the future for you, your children and their children
is 14 words.
Quote:
Canada's Recovery Plan will secure the future for you, your children and their children. Flag of Canada #SecureTheFuture
is 88 letters.

Can one of these parties just get their shit together so we have some alternative to Trudeau? Or at least to challenge the Liberals to put together a more balanced platform... It's not like he's got extremely high approval ratings.

So the NDP rejects the liberals plan for a bridge to replace the Massey tunnel, a bridge they already spent 100 mill on pre-loading and designing. This bridge would have already been in service today.
Now the NDP seemingly rejects the bridge simply because it was the liberals bridge, opts to build another fucking tunnel essentially only adding 1 lane each way, and it’s going to cost over a BILLION MORE than the liberals plan?
Hahahah Jesus ducking Christ, politics are such a fucking jokeeeee…
Anyone who lives on the wrong side of the tunnel should be livid as these actions made Ladner, etc. One of the least desirable areas of the LM imo.

No skin in the game for all of them. They just want to spend money for the sake of spending it and take credit for it.
You're doing it again ... being a stupid idiot. I thought I pointed that out once already.
This made me laugh out loud. I proved him to be lying and/or wrong more than a dozen times in this thread during past election cycles. Does anyone actually read Manic's posts any more? He's the most worthless 'contributor' here if you can even call him that, and should be banned from this thread for all the total bullshit he posts. What ridiculous conspiracy theory about the Conservative Party did he post this time?
Spoiler!
I don't care at all, please don't repeat it. He's been on my ignore list for a long time
OTTAWA -- Conservative Leader Erin O'Toole is promising to protect the right of health care professionals to refuse to provide or even refer patients for medical services to which they have moral or religious objections.
The promise to protect conscience rights -- a measure championed by social conservatives who maintain doctors and nurses should not have to refer patients for services like abortion, medical assistance in dying or gender re-assignment surgery -- is included in the Conservatives' election platform.
The platform was released this week by O'Toole even as he tries to differentiate himself from his predecessor, Andrew Scheer, whose socially conservative views on abortion and LGBTQ rights arguably cost the Conservatives the 2019 election.
Election Dispatch: Sign up for a daily update on the campaign
"The Conservative Party has not always been clear about its position on social issues," O'Toole acknowledged in a speech Wednesday evening in Quebec, where suspicion of social conservatism runs high.
"I want to be very clear with you. I am pro-choice and I've always been pro-choice."
But the platform's promise to protect conscience rights reflects the circle O'Toole is attempting to square as he tries to broaden his party's appeal without losing the support of social conservatives, who were crucial to his winning leadership bid and who make up a significant chunk of his caucus and his party's base.
It states simply: "We will protect the conscience rights of health care professionals."
Quote:
During a 2019 Ontario court case, services to which various doctors' groups and individual physicians said they would object included abortion, contraception, tubal ligations, vasectomies, infertility treatment, prescription of erectile dysfunction medication and gender re-assignment surgery, as well as assisted dying.
Quote:
The platform also promises that a Conservative government "will not support any legislation to regulate abortion."
However, O'Toole has been clear that he won't try to stop Conservative MPs from proposing their own private member's bills to restrict abortion and can vote as they please on them. In June, a majority of his caucus supported such a bill to ban sex-selective abortions.
Not only will cons let doctors refuse medical service based on moral or religious grounds they can also refuse to refer you to another doctor.

TORONTO ― An Ipsos poll released today found that 100% of voters who identified themselves as having voted Liberal in the last federal election had strategically voted that way.
Of the 2400 participants, weighted to represent the demographics of Liberal voters, every single one responded that the party with which their personal policies were best aligned was the NDP, but maintained they had never “been stupid enough” to vote for them.
“These findings clearly show that believing you are wasting your vote by voting NDP is a self-fulfilling prophecy,” said study author and self-described reluctant Liberal Percy Arthur. “And also that 33% of Canadian voters are snivelling cowards.”
A childhood friend of Justin Trudeau, speaking on condition of anonymity, informed the press soon after the study’s release that the prime minister had once considered running as a New Democrat, before deciding that the Liberals offered better career prospects.
Some voters expressed frustration upon discovering that they could have had Jagmeet Singh as prime minister, but others are heartened by the findings. Liberal voter Robin Lee said she had always believed that the Liberals were the best Canada could do.
“Now, when I die in a heatwave brought on by global warming, I’ll do so secure in the knowledge that we could easily have solved the Indigenous water crisis, taken decisive action on climate change, and strengthened human rights if we had only tried,” she declared. “Thinking about that gives me a warm feeling of hope… or maybe that’s the greenhouse effect.”
At press time, the most recent national poll showed that the Liberals were up three poi

Erin O'Toole came out and declared he is pro choice.
JT then challenged and said, 'Pro Choice doesn't mean the Dr's get to choose to do an abortion or not (conscience clause) but it means the woman has the right to choose.'
The current status quo is that Dr's can opt for the conscience clause and simply make a referral. I think most/majority of Dr's prefer a conscience clause. JT might have just made a huge blunder.

Commissioner David Johnston has invited the leaders of five political parties to participate in the upcoming leaders' debates taking place at the Canadian Museum of History in Gatineau, Québec on Wednesday, September 8 (French) and Thursday, September 9 (English).
The Leaders' Debates Commission based the decision on the participation criteria set on June 22, 2021.
Leaders of the following political parties are invited to participate in both debates:
Bloc Québécois
Conservative Party of Canada
Green Party of Canada
Liberal Party of Canada
New Democratic Party
Look who's missing.

Pretty certain that's based on the lack of French fluency.. Which I personally think is a ridiculous requirement at this point.
He is from Quebec.
It's based on poll numbers.
Quote:
In order to be invited to participate in the leaders' debates, the Commissioner decided that a leader of a political party had to meet one of the following criteria:
Criterion (i): on the date the general election is called, the party is represented in the House of Commons by a Member of Parliament who was elected as a member of that party; or
Criterion (ii): the party's candidates for the most recent general election received at that election at least 4% of the number of valid votes cast; or
Criterion (iii): five days after the date the general election is called, the party receives a level of national support of at least 4%, determined by voting intention, and as measured by leading national public opinion polling organizations, using the average of those organizations' most recently publicly-reported results.

Man..fuck Trudeau and Horgan. There should be a legislation about these snap elections and costing taxpayers millions.
This upcoming federal election is going to cost half a billion at least. Think how useful this money can be for people who are struggling during this pandemic.
^ well the way things are trending it’s hopefully gonna bite Trudeau in the ass.
I hope so too but I have a feeling it's going to end up being the same minority government with it being either liberal or conservatives running the country. We're too divided politically.
So we're spending money to get basically the same shit at the end. Hear these assholes how they're going to spend taxpayer's money like it's never going to run out.
I'm sick of being a "responsible citizen" and having to deal with constant elections here in Vancouver. I know technically we now have fixed election dates but it means shit all if we don't actually stick to them like in the States.
2018- Vancouver Municipal
2019- Federal
2020- Provincial
2021 - Federal Again!
Low turnout for municipal elections would probably shoot up if we combined them with Provincial ones.

This is what I'm hoping for and crossing my fingers that the Libs will see what an entitled pompous leader JT is and enough people will turf him for calling the election and getting the same damn result = wasting energy and half a billion dollars!
I want to see Libs win with a slimmer minority government. Cons gain some seats, NDP gains some seats and JT will look like he lost.

I'm with you there. What a complete fucking waste of time.
Parties who call snap elections on nothing else than to ride on their "popularity" (aka. greed) should be punished IMO.
