Absolutely. I did say “embraced”.

Too bad Americans are stupid enough to have to see for themselves before they judge.

Spring 2028

Over 40% wanted some aspect of the vote. Local Candidate, party or leader or other aspects. His own riding didn’t want him. Lol! :D

Others still just didn’t like the other parties as options. Extreme fringe elements like the various flavours of white supremacists just clung to something that would embrace them under the big tent.

Normalizing Military on the Streets.

No, I don’t think I will. ;)

Agreed in principle, but it was capital P as a noun, not lowercase p as in adjective. ;)

Just a part of my fear.

Pull together or fall apart.

Imagine being anyone anywhere whipped like an Amazon worker. Will the waitress have to piss in bottles? Bad for tips I think.

A reality distortion field that seperates a person from the real world? What could go wrong?

It’s about as dystopian as it gets.

Just like the Dems in the US are infected with a captured opposition faction who run the DNC at its roots, the Canadian Cons are infected with WildRose/Reform which are just labels for Koch funded MAGA.

The Cons had their civil war, and the PCs of old lost. I think, despite this election being a rejection of that bullshit, the Cons will double down and double down again because its not grass roots based. It and Western Seperatism is just Koch funded propaganda because Koch is the guy who makes the money on the price differential between WTI and WCS. They will do anything to maintain the billions in free money they get. They fund MAGA the same way.

We need to see them have a civil war and reject the reform maga factions and bring back the Progressive Conservatives.

How does Lemmy differ? Are we architectually bot/AI resistant?

I really like Singh. He is a GOOD man. A GOOD leader. I want to be at a party with him in the room. But I agree, he wasn’t the factor in his fate. The centre left sacrificed the NDP for the libs because of the US. Strategic voting worked. If they hadn’t this would have been a conservative win. It’s acceptable because the alternative is disastrous.

Singh’s cuddlyness was probably trying to follow Le Bon Jacque’s lead. Fluffy warm and cuddly via Layton got the NDP some big successes and bigger hopes until tragedy struck.

I’m more worried about the next election. A minority in a time of great struggle won’t go full term. I give this around 3 years. The libs can’t win the next, no one goes 5 terms in a row.

Lets assume the Cons take the next, and the NDP get a bounceback from extreme liberal fatigue. Does the NDP need Hope or Anger? I’m not sure, but we saw a lot of rural areas be two way con/ndp. These areas would probably respond to channeled anger. Flip a few blue to Orange.

They will replace him. He failed badly and no one thinks he can lead anyone but liberals to victory. ;)

How embarrassing. How embarrassing. I love it. That smug shit lost his seat. A great day for WOKE! LOL!

When you rape people, ostensibly even children on Epstein Island, you get elected president.

Sure, but don’t let perfect be the enemy of better than that shit. We knew since David K. Foot Boom Bust and Echo that an aging demographic was going to strain healthcare.

I agree that Liberals and Conservatives are both too fond of privatization, cutting taxes and selling out. But I suspect we were always going to end up here regardless of party, even beyond the false dichotomy.

Begging them to stay dependant on Russian fossil fuels, thus under their boot.

Ha! No thanks. Russia’s friends suffer more than their enemies.
