Zontar Posted September 22, 2019 Report Share Posted September 22, 2019 Turns out it wasn't a "costume party "at all. It was an elite fundraiser with guests in tuxes and gowns. Arab dancing and music was the entertainment. Attention-addict **** bag shows up dressed like an African in a Turkish sultan costume. Why ? kelownabomberfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Unknown Poster Posted September 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2019 The new poll out showing limited damage to the Liberals is pretty disappointing. Not because I want the liberals to be damaged, but because of what it says about a lot of Canadians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, Canadians are being given two pretty shitty choices. If anything, that's what disappointing: the quality of our so-called leaders.

Let's be honest, no one thinks Trudeau is a racist, just that he's an idiot who is so privileged that he doesn't know when he's doing something he shouldn't, but we all knew that about him before he was even elected so why would people's reactions change? Just that our choices this election are between a giant ****** and a turd sandwich.

pigseye Posted September 24, 2019 Report Share Posted September 24, 2019 Why would you want to saddle future generations with unmanageable debt servicing, which is all running deficits does. It's just as bad as destroying the environment on them yet nobody is marching on capital hill about it. Way too many double standards today posing as a noble cause, ie. partisan politics.

17to85 Posted September 25, 2019 Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 No one is going to remove the debt, even when Chretien and Martin had no deficits they did that by downloading more burden onto provinces which just put the debt into a different location. Most of what governments do with money is just a shell game. Move it here move it there, hope the plebs are too stupid to know what's really going on.
