Same here. I’ll be writing them to let them know that they lost my vote not from strategic voting but from a poorly explained and promoted platform. I want them to succeed but they need a leadership change and the resolve to reach toward more aggressively progressive goals.

“Doctor, please help him! He’s been stammering for 47 minutes!”

Doctor checks pupil dilation

“Can you tell me your name, son?”

PP, clutching doctors shirt collar

“Lost….

Liberal…

Decaaaaaade!!!”

That’s exactly it. No impulse control at all.

Keep it coming. When villains who announce their evil plans it never leads to their undoing.

They want the authority to decide what appropriate sentencing is for serious offenses with the promise to put criminals behind bars for their entire lives. And they also want to be able to decide what constitutes a serious offense. Can’t see anything wrong with that.

In line at the polls now, at least an hour wait on Saturday morning. Annoying but good to see folks turn up.

Unfortunately for PP, most Canadians seem to be interested in reducing the amount of avoidable garbage in everyday life.

I won’t feel safe enough to go back ever. Even if all the politicians get voted out or imprisoned the ICE and CBP agents who are kidnapping people will still be employed.

It’s true. My favorite tech podcast will (correctly) trumpet trans rights or BLM when it comes up in the news but haven’t said shit about Canada. They only bring up tariffs now in the context of their Switch 2 preorders getting delayed or their phones maybe getting more expensive.

So cancel that membership when it comes up for renewal, I guess.

It’s so much better on the other side.

Conversations with friends are more meaningful. Nobody hears what I’ve been up to until they ask, and because I haven’t pre-announced my life over socials I’ve noticed they’re more interested and they pay more attention.

So probably gone by Friday. We’ve seen this dance and we know how it keeps playing out.

While not a true coalition moment, I think the NDP arm twisting JT into passing a dental care bill for supply and confidence is a good example of a minority party able to put their thumb on the scale.

Honestly it’s not that fucking hard. I don’t get why any government agency inside or outside the US is still active there. Stop feeding the facist furnace coal with your attention.

I’m wondering why people save up points like this. I use my $10 every chance I get.

I’ve been locked out of my account three times over the years because I forgot to turn off my ad blocker when loading my grocery offers. The reactivation process is repetitive, nontransparent and takes weeks. No way I would recommend trusting thousands of dollars worth of points to this system.

It’s the zero-sum mentality. Some people can’t feel like they’re winning unless somebody else is losing. The idea that we all work to be winners is completely lost. It’s a lifelong political frustration.

Compared to?

Yep. Being a contrarian in the face of a resource economy changeover doesn’t make you distinct. It just makes you stubborn.

Effin’ finally. Let people make mistakes and apologize for them. It’s too late to run a new candidate and voters shouldn’t be disenfranchised on principle.

He’s been looking so tired in his last few one-on-one interviews. I wouldn’t put it past him to purposely swing too far right into the conservative playbook to hose his party before they boot him.

I hope he stays on with an apology. People are allowed to make mistakes. Especially on the right, so turnabout is fair play.

I didn’t except to see a Mastodon icon. Honestly I kind of hope our little social corner remains low key for as long as possible.
