    Our democracy is very much under attack and we will end up like the states if we are not careful.

    This is not your parent’s conservative party any more. It’s dead, long gone, It’s not pinin’ for the fjords, That party is no more! It has ceased to be! It’s expired and gone to meet it’s maker! What we have now is a mini trumponian nightmare molded by lies and run by criminals that want to destroy Canada.

      Mass immigration to depress salaries for rich oligarchs and land holders seems to be destroying Canada far faster.

        I don’t see it that way. Most immigrants are hardworking, fantastic people, and frankly we need the extra hands. But when our government is privatizing and selling off all our assets to outside interests, we all lose.

          Maybe I’m misreading, but I don’t think @teppa is blaming immigrants. I think both things can be true: our politicians are taking advantage of hard working immigrants, exploiting them for cheap labour and increased housing demand/cost, which makes our GDP look better.

          It’s not the immigrants’ fault - we need immigration badly, and benefit greatly in many ways. But not if we’re taking advantage of people. We all deserve better.

            To clarify, I agree with the comment I replied to. Just wanted to add context for the people down voting. I know immigration is a difficult topic right now and we all just want to see people treated well.

          Its called capital shallowing. We need growth that can be absorbed organically, like what existed prior to the Liberals, but its being done desperately to hide falling GDP.

    We’re cooked because the left has no idea how to be appealing to the status quo. These assholes do.

    Everybody will call these guys idiots and dumb assholes. But these guys will use every tool to organize and create things to spread their messages. You people will come here every day and can’t be bothered

        Using the wealth they accumulated to fund special groups and think tanks to further strategize and organize. Groups like Cambridge analytical are used by groups like heritage foundation to advise smaller groups and individuals to engage and capture the attention of a right wing voters calling them to action.

        I remember during the clownvoy, individuals were donating upwards of $20,000 to other countries just because they had shared interests.

        We’re sending kids against fully armed and geared up police and military and thinking if we’ll do something if we just keep throwing more at them.

        There are so many better ways to focus our energy and effort than sacrificing people to authorities

        Be “not Liberal” in the face of a terrible Liberal government. Under our electoral system, that’s all that’s required.

          Be “not Liberal” in the face of a terrible Liberal government.

          and what will it accomplish for these idiots and dumb assholes if the terrible Liberal party remain successful? If anything, these idiots and dumb assholes are helping the Liberals, as they are also an unnecessary burden to the Conservatives.

    I wonder how many of the members are infiltrators who will eventually testify against the others?
