I’m still daydreaming of a Rachel Notley federal run

“Fairness” has got nothing to do with politics, and Poilievre knows that and utilizes it in his politics every single day.

Still waiting for Rachel Notley to throw her hat into the ring for the NDP, that’d be a breath of fresh air

Sounds oddly familiar… But I can’t place it, so the free market dictates that this must be a good idea.

This is what they seem to never understand:

They fixed the price of bread for years. Before getting caught, if people had asked them, “are you fixing the price of bread?”, they would have said No, and probably have acted insulted that they were even asked.

So now, if we ask them if they’re fixing any other prices, they’ll say No, and act insulted.

After last time, why should we believe anything they say at any point?

One of the busiest highways in the world, to get one of the longest tunnels in the world underneath it?

This will cost a hundred billion at least, and it won’t solve congestion.

That is very fair

saying competition and fear are incentives to improve service

Fear? Seriously? A public health care service that’s been under-funded by design will “improve service” out of fear? These politicians have no morals.

Indeed. Workers exist in order to work. Why would workers want to strike, when instead they could be working? Good thing the government is stepping in to keep them in their place. /s

It’s definitely a “plan” but it’s far from a solution.

Yeah, my Loblaws boycott is about three months old, but I’ve been boycotting Walmart for 20+ years

Oh, just what Loblaws needs right now, more good press

"The greatest overriding challenge Canada now faces is that for ten years incomes have stagnated.”

Yeah, try 40 years actually.

“The numbers are one thing, right, but … the government’s approach here is their briefing essentially says there’s nothing wrong. I get there’s posturing, but this is actually quite dangerous posturing on the side of the government.”

Absolutely hitting the nail on the head. This is something that isn’t being properly discussed anywhere in society; how many billions does a billionaire need before a billionaire has enough billions?

If enough is never enough, then that’s not sustainable, it’s not healthy for our civilization, and they’re absolutely suffering from a form of mental illness that requires social intervention. If a trillion is the number before they’ll actually be satisfied; then they need to adjust their goals.

Dare I say it: as long as there are camps full of homeless, as long as people working 60+ hours a week and can’t afford both food and a place to live, as long as 50% of the population is one missed paycheck from going broke- there should be no billionaires.

Our economy is dysfunctional and serving the interests of the rich above everyone else. We need an adjustment before the tipping point tips us from untenable into chaos, because these current trends are leading us all into ruin.

Before the bread price fixing scandal broke, if anyone had asked Galen if they were manipulating the price of bread, he would have shown this same level of deflection and never admitted in a million years what they were doing. If we asked now if there were any other price fixing scandals waiting to be discovered, they’d deny and deflect regardless of the truth.

Now he just wants us to trust him, and take him at his word? This billionaire has given everyone zero reasons to trust him, and many reasons to do the opposite.

In it 100%

They’re greedy AF

Very well said, and a vastly under-reported issue at the root of many of our civilization’s problems

Can’t wait! :D

That’s absolutely fair

When asked whether his government would require porn websites to verify the age of users, Poilievre gave a one-word answer: “Yes.”

He didn’t offer further explanation, and his office quickly followed up with a clarifying statement asserting that the Tories don’t believe in the imposition of a digital ID.

Sooooo a pop-up that says “Are you 18 or over? Yes / No”?

Or will he decide that Yes, digital IDs are something we believe in afterall?

No no, Munich Bläd is a famous German sitcom about a gang of Friends who have wacky hijinx and occasionally fall in and out of love with eachother

Yeah, it’s the Facebook model of politics; when Outrage is the single emotion that generates the most engagement, Outrage becomes the first Go-To in the playbook for anything they want to do. It’s an awful methodology but as long as voters keep buying into the Outrage cycle they’re going to keep using it

This can’t be overstated: back when baked goods were freshly baked in every store, the quality was anywhere from better-than-now to Tremendous. And as a side benefit, a lot of people who previously had little or no baking experience learned skills that could last the rest of their lives. The current mass-produced version of their baked goods is universally inferior and degraded the brand in a way that they’ll never recover from.

Nostalgia and wrapping themselves in the flag is their marketing because that’s all they have left, but it’s been wearing thin for years.

How bizarre, none of the items on the list were actually things I downloaded, and none of the things I downloaded were on the list.

Fascinating. I was browsing by New on wefwef
