  • The long term warning is that if the LPC wins a majority and fails to reasonably address housing or general living costs we'll be back in this same position next cycle.

    My hope is for a minority LPC government with either BQ or NDP forcing them away from neoliberalism - if that fails it's a long shot that Carney will turn his back on neoliberal economics... but Canada (and the world really) are at the breaking point from neoliberalism and we'll either gracefully correct or fall closer to authoritarianism and violence.

    We need change - and we only have so many chances before a fucker like PP wins an election based on economic discontent and fucks us forever.

    Edit: Just to be super clear - fuck the conservatives. I in no way desire them to end up in government and my statement comes from a place of rejecting anti-trans hate and embracing a sane environmental response to climate change.

  • Depends, he could have a long successful career in private equity being a short term pumper - that's essentially all he is... someone who lacks the common shame to not bullshit to such an extent that fuckers believe him.

    How many years are we away from FSD Elon? Just a few? How many years have we been within five years of FSD? Fifteen? And yet everytime he says it the stock price goes up.

  • To be fair to modern young people... we had the luxury of not being inundated with Jordan Peterson and Tate bullshit when we were at our most impressionable.

    I've seen extremely strong and wise young people - and I've seen fucking idiots. I think the proportion of idiots is higher than it was for, say, millennials... but it's still a mixed bag and we've got young people rabid about environmentalism and women's rights. Maybe in a few more years that toxic bro faction will start growing out of it and become reasonable people - I certainly hope so.

  • After the shooting it was my firmly held opinion that America would probably be happier if no arrest was ever made so that the American people didn't need to acknowledge the outcome of a trial. Everyone, corporate shills and normal folks, would be happier if how the justice system would respond to this was left vague and murky.

    I hope for a not guilty verdict whether Luigi is or isn't the person who actually did it.

  • I think that's extremely reasonable. I'd love to have MMR or another form of PR but sadly we do not have that. It's extremely reasonable to vote strategically to keep the CPC out of power. I live in BC and my district is competitive for the LPC and NDP so I'm sure as fuck not voting LPC... but if I were in the interior I'd definitely vote for whoever had more momentum to beat the CPC candidate.

    On that note... this is a time to make your voice heard advocating for voting reform to make sure the CPC never threaten a national victory without seriously reforming their platform.

  • No, we don't and have never needed a majority government. A coalition of LPC, NDP, and BQ would be able to nimbly respond to American threats (because we're all in agreement on that) while preventing a further slide into neoliberalism in the housing market.

    If the Liberals gain a majority government and don't hard pivot away from neoliberalism the CPC will be an insurmountable threat next election.

    The NDP and BQ are in strong alignment in opposing American expansionism. We can do better than a Liberal majority.
