Russian threats seem so laughable after their special operation in Ukraine. Like the school yard bully who got punched in the face and is now holding back tears with a bloody nose still trying to appear tough

Gosh if only homeless people would just stop choosing to be poor and choose to be rich instead. This is the most disgusting thing about a lot of modern conservatives. They have no interest in looking into WHY anything is the way it is.

So they would just win seats they already won by more. That's the current conservatives problem. Their appeal is too concentrated in few areas. They don't have widespread appeal across the country and honestly I don't think the populism crap us going to resonate without some actual policy behind it.

Yeah I just think the people who are going to vote based on these dog whistle issues are already locked into the conservatives. Might as well try some policy that appeals to the majority of Canadians. "Trudeau bad! Liberals bad!" Has lost them 3 elections in a row now. Clearly people aren't buying it.

It has hurt Trudeau though. Problem is the conservatives keep doing stupid **** too turning voters off of them too.

And then wonder how they wound up in a republican dictatorship

The new curriculum is such a ******* joke no school board will even pilot it. Kenney can go **** himself with a rusty fork.

More like cause he come across as a pompous ass.

The existence of only two parties lends itself to the Us vs. Them narrative. But you add a third option that gets harder.

Do you think so? Or would "moderate" Republicans stop voting for bullshit because they're afraid of socialists?

Which is a huge issue with the states. It's either A or B. You have left wingers siding with Bernie voting Democrat because it's better than republican and you have moderates voting republican because of fear of democrats like the progressive wing. You have a proper progressive party down there you might actually see the democrats actually be moderate because they'd have to work for votes and you would see less republican support. Would probably mimic Canada to some extent where the NDP serves to keep things from getting dragged so far right.

Something to keep in mind regarding Bernie vs. Clinton is that Bernie isn't really a Democrat and Hillary was the party's preferred candidate. Why would they back an outside vs. The chosen one?

We had a bout of the 'ronas and are just coming out of it. Wife and I both have 3 doses I had pretty mild symptoms. 2 non-consecutive days where I felt like crap otherwise not too bad. My wife on the other hand was knocked on her ass for at least a week and a half. Our 3.5 year old was feeling tough for a few days but bounced back pretty well and our 1 year old is finally more normal, but the two kids have the lingering cough and noses that want to leak a bit.

Gaslight Obstruct Project <-- claim democrats are pedophiles while trying to allows marriage to children. Time to call out these anti-antifa what they are, fascists.

And therein lies the problem. The right wing in North America has been dragging the perception further and further right. Especially in the USA. Republicans constantly saying "meet us in the middle" while stepping backwards every time the democrats move towards that middle. Bernie Sander is seen as a lunatic left winger in the USA... yet he would fit right in with the moderates in most of the rest of the world.

Buttery males!!!!!

The problem I have with that is that it is based on Democrat being seen as left which perhaps is true in the USA, but in the rest of the world it is still ******* right as hell.

No, stop. You are wrong. Facts are not beholden to perspectives. Like seriously fox News is a right wing propaganda station. CNN is a right leaning News network that people scream abo8t as left wing because it's not right wing propaganda.

I think the problem is more that the made in China vaccine while effective against vanilla covid is much less effective against vallthese variants than the ones the western world used.

Was saying to noeller earlier, Calgary is a city where interest in the Stamps is waning and they've tried nothing and are all out of ideas so they probably figure 4 downs is sure to get people interested!

So someone who has been the target of the opposition for so long like Hillary Clinton has and the best they come up with are her emails and some largely non-issues about a charitable foundation? Don't you think that if there was any real dirt they'd have dug it up? Same with Biden. If the GOP had ANY dirt on him would they waste time on his sons laptop? They are trying to make Hunter Biden issues Joe Biden issues because they got nothing on Biden. Bill Clinton too, did you know they started digging for dirt to go after him on before he even got the hummer in the oval office from an intern? Your while attitude is why these non-scandals become scandals and why real scandals on your team get over looked. Like not everything is equal. There are minor improprieties and then there are major transgressions. The right wing would have you believe that all are equal and if you can kind of sort of tag one left winger with something it means both sides! No matter what.

That is such a stupid attitude to take... "oh I don't trust the source, must not be facts.... no facts are facts regardless of the source. The key is knowing when you're getting facts and when you aren't. Which is possible but apparently it's too much for some people who would rather just be told what to think.

It's interesting that no one commented on his football accomplishments until the brigade showed up to **** on him.... The rest of us were just impressed with the athleticism.

So regurgitating Trump campaign talking points as evidence of corruption. Ok that's what I thought. Nothing credible.

Are you referring to claims made by Michael Cohen which are not provable? Or is there something else you are referring to?
