Conservatives want to bring back the smoking rooms in Tim Hortons ultimately, and fuck the planet.

Well we did have the trucker convoy here. A great many people who live in small towns or the northern parts of the country hate Trudeau. I am not a fan either but that's because I think he should be much more left and do a lot more for us,rather than being a craven centrist. But all Liberals (that's capital L Liberal) are. But conservatives here HATE him on a personal level and drive around with Fuck Trudeau flags on their obnoxious trucks.
We like our socialized medicine and services here, even conservatives, but that doesn't make them any less obnoxious.
Well that’s the danger - the conservatives here went full mask-off racist poor-haters which wasn’t as much of a surprise as their unbelievable lack of belief in anything.
No ideology, values, or any other mechanism holds them - not even science, which they pretend to believe in, when it suits them. The so-called ‘adults’ in the party have succumbed utterly to the cult. There are no rational leaders, only figureheads and capos.
It’s shameful and beyond pathetic, and I’d like to think Canada would never fall to such insanity, but the mechanism by which it was carried out (facebook, twitter, Qanon, convoys, right-wing news) are all the same. More power to you progressive Canadians. Hopefully you can weather it.
I think we'll be ok. We do like our social services a lot!
We like them less and less by the year. The politicians keep breaking them, and more and more people are convinced it's because they're just inherently not good, not because they've been sabotaged.
its called 'starve the beast'... here in the states its a tactic they use to break the system... they cut funding, and can then point at the failing program to .. further cut funding. eventually its dead. its one of the reasons our education system is so inefficient and expensive.
theres only one program that never, ever, ever ever ever gets cut... building human killing devices under the guise of 'defense'
