Check what’s going on in politics in Australia. I guarantee you that’s more fucked up right now
MisterHalt
A potato is trying to become Prime Minister of Australia.
monkofshadows
As a American I want a party that acts like they’re Canadian, you know.. sane.

More like party devoted to hating people for arbitrary reasons

Oh Canada, we remember our buddy Rob.

Ya so has anyone seen Aussie politics today.? Another new Prime Minister.

Meanwhile in Australia we can't keep a PM for a single fucking term. What a joke.
SlurpGod
You had me at hookers. I'd meddle in your election but Canada probably tries to prevent that kind of thing.
thefishguru
Not really. You don’t even have to remove facial coverings to vote here if you have an id card
Foe1911
Are you saying people with facial coverings are meddling?
thefishguru
No I highly doubt they are, and even if they were it wouldn’t make a difference. Just an observation I don’t think is right or democratic.

That has no bearing on the comment you were replying too. Way to Soapbox lol

Not only will this split the Conservative vote, it will excise all the bigots from the Conservatives. A good thing twice over.
CaldariBob
Until they get tired of losing elections and cram everyone back in the clown car, like Kenney & the UCP, or the Reform/Conservative merge.

Downvote the bloody bigot?
Theinternetwasinventedforveryimportantscience
And bikers, and nazis, and kellie leech, and proud boys, and French people who ironically hate multiculturalism even though they benefit

Blaming French people while pretending to be pure. Nice! I’m a proud Quebecois living in Canada and I embrace all cultures. Quit hating us
Theinternetwasinventedforveryimportantscience
LOL I'm not. I'm saying that FRENCH PEOPLE who hate other cultures are STUPID because French people benefit from "multiculturalism"

Fair enough! We ALL benefit from multiculturalism. Bernier is an oddity to us more than anything. He will be reelected but will be forgotten

Is that the one who used to be a biker chick? The one he left a laptop full of classified info around?

Yeah, the one from the incident that forced him to resign as minister. But it doesnt matter and wont hurt him in an election
SnoBored
Says his fans. Fuck him though hes charismatic but hes not competent

Make it craps and hookers and he’s got my vote
HeyOP
Blackjack gives slightly better odds.
69Voltage
But craps is more fun, especially when you’ve got a table full of hot rollers. Nothing like it. :)
HeyOP
Definitely looks like people are having more fun, but I had fun once; it was terrible.
69Voltage
Lmao! A good way to learn it is to dl an app called Aw Craps. Very realistic. Then look for a hot table having fun and know when to leave...

a table that is or turns cold

Why would I vote for the Bloc?

kawkamawaq
For one. They are the only party you can count, that if elected, would do exactly what they set out to do.
snoozer
They suggest abolishing Environment because it’s just too hard to keep it clean or pay whole national debt with Visa and declare it stolen

The other two were 1) letting Quebec separate so it is an hour faster to fly from T.O. to Halifax, and 2) Paving the St. Lawrence seaway.

That's not true. Harper was antithesis of liberals, and his hold still dominates over the Conservatives
Foe1911
He said he was, but his actions weren't too far off. Big bail out for corporations and all that.
TheFriendliestGiant
Into which he had to be dragged kicking and screaming, and his attempted avoidance of which led to a grotesque bit of constitutional ...
TheFriendliestGiant
abuse in which he and his supporters spread the lie that it was improper verging on illegal for minority parties to form a government.
Foe1911
That was when the Liberal party bravely stepped in to support the Conservatives instead of forming a government that they would lead.
PartTimeViking
I'm gonna love the vote splitting that'll do
GrabEmByTheEmbassy
I love it. Would love it if the Liberals split too. I'd like a more open debate, not party lines.
TheGriffin
Seriously. Between Bernier and Fildebrant, the "United Right" is fracturing and I love it. Let them fight.
TheFriendliestGiant
Right? It's going to be the Chretien majorities all over again. Enjoy being out in the cold, Conservatives.
Goryofa
The only reason it ended was because Harper put his heart & soul into uniting the Canadian right. I am hard left, but Harper was a sharp guy
MechanusIncarnate
The fact that this phenomenon exists indicates a serious problem in how we do elections.
TheFriendliestGiant
Any way you set it up, proportional representation or ranked ballot or whatever, multiple parties fighting over a single voting bloc ...
TheFriendliestGiant
will always end up cannibalizing each other's support and producing weaker results than if they were united.
MechanusIncarnate
Unless your system is set up where people only vote against parties (least negative is winner), in which case the split would help.
MechanusIncarnate
There must therefore be some way in between where the net effect of a split is 0.
ITradeNewds
Pls no. I just want a conservative win so c71 can fuck off and we can get an oil pipeline rolling properly in BC. Maybe fuck the Saudis too
Equalcharlie
From the party that tabled bills c 60 and c 61. Can't say I'd trust them again anytime soon.
ITradeNewds
such a shame isnt it? liberals are corrupt, NDP are incompetent, and con's are the scum of the earth. just seems like we cant win.

I hope that is sarcasm. Trudeau is a menace.

Oh wow, this post was sincere?
Strongharbour432
And yet as bad as he may be a lot of people would greatly prefer the liberals to conservatives at this point
EllisBurksrocks
I think it is turning. The man has done almost nothing in three years.
Strongharbour432
The biggest roadblock to that is that there is still a lot of absolute hate for anything Harper was attached to
ITradeNewds
I mean he's not a bad dude but yeah I don't think he's a very good fit as a country leader.
MrHowe
Must be non Canadians down-voting, that retarded man child is worse than his dad
MyUserHeroes
Imo his father wasn't too bad at all.. but HE is horrible
TheFriendliestGiant
Yeah, no. Canadian here, and while Trudeau certainly has room to improve, he's hardly a menace.
porkhocks
It will erode the conservative vote.
EllisBurksrocks
No it won't. People won't vote for Maxime. They will vote Conservative. And hopefully vote out Justin.
StatisticallyInsignificantCanadian
Are you kidding? Do you remember the 90's? The right will be divided. Likely scenario is a Bloc opposition to the libs.
TheFriendliestGiant
The Bloc seems like a spent force at this point. I'd say Liberal government with NDP opposition if Bernier really takes off, or CPC rump ...
vinceender
Justin maybe a fucked prime but no way as a scientific i am getting back to the dark age of conservative shit.
EllisBurksrocks
None of that was English.
ElbowDeepInAPoliceState
Say what you will about Harper (I dislike him), he was a masterful politician.
baiin
I'd call him less 'masterful' (he proved that with his policy platform blunders last election) and more of a 'strong-man'. His way or hwy.
ElbowDeepInAPoliceState
Holding together all the factions of the tories forn12 years was no mean feat man. They've fragmented while in power before

...on record detailing his private 'blow-out' episodes when people weren't doing what he wanted. I wouldn't call it masterful is all. /2

Because some people believe all immigrants are brown.

I don't know why I thought Canada wouldn't have a racism problem...
Noob3rts
Racism exists everywhere. No country is perfect, however, Canada does not tolerate racism. This, minus some parts, isn't really racism.
dontsayretarded0itsgay
It's the 'parts' to which I refer. And it definitely smells racist to the extreme

Interesting, so he wasn't 'technically' speaking about brown folks in his Tweets, but he does have a point. People come to Canada and refuse

JonSnowAKAAegonTargaryen
As a Canadian, I have a hard time believing CBC telling me the weather. Look at how they handled Ontario's elections....

prevention sites that run against best evidence and will end up killing people. So... maybe the CBC were right to criticize the Ont cons.2/2
ITradeNewds
I mean he's not kicking people out. He just wants to tighten up immigration a bit.
ToasterDent
Did you say "tighten" or "lighten"?
ITradeNewds
The former
fudgesickle
That’s how it starts.
Goryofa
He clearly wants more than that.
ITradeNewds
Does he? He's not exactly wrong about the whole cultural balkinization thing in Canada and I think a good number of people agree that.
TheFriendliestGiant
So if he sincerely thinks that diversity is a problem, how would just stopping immigration undo that? Canada is already full of immigrants.
misterwit
Just a reminder that "slippery slope" is a logical fallacy. We all good on that? Cool, carry on.
JudgementalMan
Not necessarily, stop using that phrase if you don't know what it means
Goryofa
It can be. But the way you're using it seems to imply that any proposed chain of events is a fallacy.
