Yup.

Yes, there's a HUGE difference between saving money and not spending money. Ford is not spending money which just pushed the problem down to the taxpayer or on to the next Liberal government.

There are lots of ignorant one issue voters.

Yup.

They’re literally in a left echo chamber.

You mean, "reality"?

I think that the reality is that each chicken came from an egg that came from a bird that was less chicken then the new chicken.

He believes in power.

He's selling lies to influence the ignorant to vote against their own self-interest. He's a conservative.

During the early pandemic the anti-reality folks said that the Covid vaccine wasn't actually a vaccine since you didn't need boosters with a real vaccine like the polio vaccine. I pointed out that the polio vaccine primary series required three boosters. No, no, they said...those were part of the vaccine, not boosters. I pointed out that each subsequent dose boosted the immune response so they were, in fact, boosters. No, no, they said. They were part of the primary series of the vaccine, not boosters. I then pointed out that in some recipients the immune response from the primary series wasn't strong enough and that they required, "additional boosters", according to the description of the vaccine. "You shut your porky mouth, they said."

Whether it's called a booster or a vaccine doesn't matter to me. I'm going to get it.

So he's appealing to ignorant people for votes?

red party Kool-Aid drinkers

Is that a thing? Really? Or is that just blue party Kool-Aid drinker projection like the, "alt-left"?

I think that if you step out of your echo bunker and take an honest look you're going to find that many people who vote Liberal do so while plugging their noses. I do. Trudeau has been an incredible disappointment to me. He's far too right wing for my tastes. I would rather have a liberal leader who was actually a liberal rather than a center right corporate stooge. We just know that electing Pierre Polievre would be a far worse option.

Speaking of alt-right projection...can you name any alt-left talking heads, or alt-left organizations? Do you have any contemporary Canadian examples? I mean, most of us can name dozens of alt-right taking heads and alt-right organizations. I think that the alt-left is an alt-right boogieman made up by the alt-right to make itself feel better about its extremism. Like, "We're not as bad as everyone says we are because there's an alt-left that's doing the same things that were doing." but no one can name them.

Red party Kool-Aid drinkers are the same thing.

"Man who has never worked a real job in his life and who will retire with a fat pension and full benefits thinks he's the leader for the working man."

Cafeteria Christians?

The funny thing is that this wouldn't be a free speech issue in the US either. The WestJet union isn't the government.

Your free speech rights don't apply to making political speeches on WestJet airplains you tool.

Justin Trudeau could eliminate poverty, feed the world's hungry, and bring about world peace and you Eeyores would still find a way to chant, "TrUdEaU bAd!"

They won't. We live in a constitutional monarchy. Their role is ceremonial.

I don't disagree but I also think it's worthwhile to point out that they are fringe ideas. I didn't say that it shouldn't have been posted. I pointed out that it was a fringe blog and that there were probably better sources available.

The people who are being manipulated with this nationalist dog whistle see no value in being a member of the Commonwealth. Canada First and MCGA and all.
