It’s not that they are for that but rather they are for owning things that do that as a side effect.

How much money is the military losing per day? As far as I can tell they aren’t bringing in any income at all!

What makes it a star? Has it ‘starred’ in any thing that did well?

Attaching onions to belts was also superior to the yams kids attach to their belts these days.

I get a lot of value out of F-Droid, my ass is going to be very chapped if Google manages to kill it.

In the constructed reality that right wing media has built, Portland is an ongoing warzone.

I know your country produces some pretty good olympic weightlifters.

That’s what I mean. All that security to prevent further instances of a thing that wasn’t happening except that one time. Totally not necessary.

Yeah, Canadian voters fucked up real bad and now we’re going to suffer the consequences, it’s true.

Except, once again, the last two elections resulted in a strong enough NDP to stop the Liberal’s worst instincts. To such an extent that people were able to lie to themselves that the good things that came from those governments were the products of the Liberals and not NDP pressure.

What if instead of racing to the bottom we invest more in the public sector and create more good jobs that create citizens who can contribute rather than forcing more people into minimum wage or gig work?

The NDP isn’t even an option at the moment though

They were at the time of election. It was not a two party situation, that’s just a lie people are telling themselves to soothe the foolish decision they allowed themselves to be tricked into making.

We don’t live in a two party state, believe it or not.

“Oh, but only two parties had a chance of winning!”

Except in the previous two elections we gave the NDP enough power to hold the Liberals back from their worst tendencies to such an extent that people convinced themselves that they weren’t financially regressive shitheads, so I really don’t want to hear it.

The Alberta Advantage at it again.

It turns out all that resource wealth means nothing when you elect governments who do everything in their power to make sure as little of it as possible trickles down to the general population. There are Texas based oil companies who need that cash, thank you very much.

Can we be totally honest and admit the only reason we still have door delivery is to protect the jobs of mail carriers?

Surely we’ll make the country better when we make those people get minimum wage jobs at Tim Horton’s in the name of making government services into profit centres.

It’s not like Netanyahu has bothered cooking up any new bullshit to tell. I guess the members value their time a little more highly than listening to reheated bullshit.

“Look at this map of countries we regularly bomb. Their hatred for us is a curse!” Cool story, bro.

I guess Groucho never saw The Matrix.

(On account of being dead at the time.)

This reminds me of back when Greyhound was still running services in Canada and a mentally ill person off their meds killed and cut the head off of another passenger. Obviously horrific. But, like, there wasn’t a rash of crazy people beheading bus passengers. It was a one time freak tragedy. The guy was caught and medicated. We absolutely did not have to institute airport style patdowns and scanners etc to stop all these beheadings that weren’t happening.

Meanwhile people die all the time in traffic accidents with no changes to the rules whatsoever. Just the cost of doing business.

Oh ho, if it isn’t the Oklahoma Masturbator.

If Japan and South Korea go through with this perhaps we could purchase some from them (or elsewhere, UK, France, hell, even China) to cover us while we work on a domestic program.
