OT: 'Off topic' thoughts

[Tak7]

That's good. I just find it weird that no matter the issues that arise and things that get pointed out, the polls virtually exactly the same. Never seen that before, not in Canada. Land of when a party screws up they essentially lose official status at the next vote.

To be fair, I think this year's pre-election polls have indicated a complete opposite of what you're describing.

There was a noticeably SHARP drop in support for the CPC / Pollievre right before Trudeau officially stepped down - much of it centered around the lack of actual substantive policy conversations he was having, and his entire campaign basically being centered around attacking Trudeau, the Libs, and having catchy slogans.

Empty calorie politics. It was suggested long before Trump got into office down south that that sort of thing wouldn't work up here, and once Trump came into power, the flip we've seen in support has been insane. Don't recall seeing anything like this since Trudeau's first time elected.

You wanna talk about empty calorie politics look no further than those in power exploiting "crisis" after "crisis" to take rights away from law abiding citizens. Do yourself a favor and read the book our current PM wrote. "Western Civilization is rotten" - this is a direct quotation. The people in charge hate you and want to keep you in a state of anxiety to fool you into giving up your freedom for security. They did it with Moncton, they did it with Nova Scotia, and they continue to do it with Ecole Polytechnique. The problem isn't law abiding citizens, the problem is that this country became soft on crime. There is a drastic increase in criminal statistics since 2015... guess what that coincided with? Canadians are low information voters that are passive aggressive whose only current form of identity is hating on America, which is absolutely stupid considering they are the most powerful nation currently in existence and our closest trading partner.

I stopped voting decades ago.. they're all liars and crooks.

Doesn't matter to me which impotent senile old man grabs the reigns of power. I try to stay out of political discussions just for that reason. I gave up my right to vote so I shouldn't bitch when I'm not happy the country is being run into the ground.

I wouldn't expect anything less from a cabal of lying crooks anyway.

This is what happens when democracy fails, I hope I never become so disillusioned that I refuse to vote……..

You actually read the book and that quote in context, or just trusting a tweet? I have the book, you should read it. Talk about uninformed; people trust and use social media like it’s actual journalism now.

That isn’t a direct quote. That was a paraphrase about Carneys lament for the moral erosion of western society in which economic value is the primary driver of societal values. Guys, read the f***ing book if you actually think that is a quote from it. Stop trusting social media bullshit.

It's bloody hard after awhile

We had Ardern over here for 6 years, she ******* sucked but her party got booted at the last election

Then a conservative coalition came to power and honestly they are just a different flavor of suck, nothing but big business international shills

If there are no good options who the hell do you vote for?

He actually mentioned small reactors provided by Westinghouse, a Brookfield company lol. A prime minister endorsing a technology provided by the company he chaired under a year ago. Just watch the debate it's so shady every other party attacked the guy. You can't make this stuff up.

I’m arguing a quote from a book that didn’t exist.

 

[francis246]

And who could possibly have an issue with Filipino people? Literally the friendliest culture on the planet.

Agreed, my wife is Filipino. But this wasn’t a hate crime.

It was a road rage incident, the driver got pissed allegedly that they were blocking a road and he tried to go through and got pissed and rammed through, allegedly. It was not premeditated, the guy who did it looks to be Filipino himself apparently.

Just a tragic misunderstanding, not premeditated. It was road rage! Got it!

Too many unknowns to make assumptions like you are doing.

That's almost even more bizarre than a hate crime. Just awful all around.

No one takes polls seriously.

You just have to look at the US election to understand why.

Not making any assumptions, there’s videos of the incident and the aftermath and witness accounts. There are witnesses who said he had been driving recklessly prior to even reaching the area, got pissed off that the road was blocked off and then he plowed right through.

I didn’t say it was a misunderstanding. But it wasn’t premeditated. The suspect did not plan it out like Toronto van situation. That’s all I’m saying.

Pretty much all the Commonwealth countries had tyrannical leaders during the pandemic or another way to look at it is they were all “young leaders” of a certain Globalist organization……..

The best of a bad bunch is the correct answer imo……

He’s definitely getting rich all while being PM, Moose on the Loose has a good video connecting Carney, Brookfield and their many connects to Elon and Trump…….

Trump is a bit of an outlier, they usually miss his vote by 3-4 points which is a massive amount

Pretty much all the Commonwealth countries had tyrannical leaders during the pandemic or another way to look at it is they were all “young leaders” of a certain Globalist organization……..

That's why Ardern got punted, she was a worldwide darling but once the economy started to struggle the country turned on her

Fast

Hate to break it to you, he is already extremely wealthy.

That's almost even more bizarre than a hate crime. Just awful all around.

It’s really bizzare, what I don’t understand is prior to the guy reaching the event, multiple people called the police who saw him driving recklessly on the streets of Vancouver and the police response was zero. This was a totally preventable incident.

It’s tragic, based on the events and what I’ve read so far, it won’t be a hate crime but will be some sort of murder / vehicular homicide case. The motivation behind it wasn’t the fact that the people were Filipino. The result would have been the same regardless of what race those people were. The suspect was Asian himself.

The problem is now we just see these mass casualty events and think there must be some sort of reason for it, ideology, religion and race specifically which tends to lead to a hate crime enhancement

Yup.. sometimes people are just deranged and do things for no reason at all. Which is the saddest part of humanity. We have people who kill just to kill. Hard to accept/wrap your brain around.

Hate to break it to you, he is already extremely wealthy.

And keeping his holdings and wealth private. He could be directly affiliated with Trump international with decades of dealings. We won't know, you have to elect him to find out.
