Kleptocrat Party of Canada surprised when wealthy party members carefully selected for their high likelihood to vote for Dollar Store Trump surprised when the sticky fingered assholes steal everything in sight.

    Voting overwhelmingly in favour of a tough-on-crime policy with one hand and literally stealing from their own party with the exact same hand.

    You can’t even make this shit up. This is conservative politics in a shellnut.

      As they say in the US: “rules for thee but not for me”

      All these laws are meant to apply to “other people”

    Love that for them. They just tied their carriage to a dead horse.

    If Erin O’Toole was leader of the party, he would be PM right now.

      Is there even a worse option for the CPC than PP right now?

          for the CPC*

          sorry I guess it’s bad faith of me to assume that the CPC is a force for evil.

            Assuming in bad faith is indeed a character flaw.

            Concluding after sober analysis of significant clear evidence is not. In fact, ignoring clear evidence in order to signal your neutrality is the character flaw.

            Do not apologize.

    Me, an American, scrolling ALL and sees this headline.

    “Oh jeez, what is trump doing this time?”

    realizes this is a canadian community

    …I’m still not convinced trump isn’t up to his old tricks again. This time in Canada.

    Lots of commenters who didn’t read… these were only used for voting on policy. The leadership vote was a paper ballot.

    This is more likely extreme incompetence, not some nefarious plot.

      I read the article and I didn’t think it was a plot, I just thought they were assholes to take everything that isn’t nailed down.

        Especially since these devices are useless on their own. The cost to the rightful owner is high. The benefit to the thief is low.

        True asshole crime. Basically vandalism.

    As for the policy changes, delegates overwhelmingly endorsed taking a harder line on crime […]

    So they’re going to punish these criminal delegates, right?
