The insidious nature of systemic racism is why. White men are given the widest possible berth to acquire weapons and play vigilante. As we saw here, a white guy who talks about murdering people can, over and over, put himself into dangerous situations until he gets the opportunity to kill and get away with it. This isn’t even the only example in the last five years.

Conservatives only deal with what’s on the surface so everything past your first sentence will mean nothing to them.

Carrique: Police are getting killed and its the immigrants fault.

Reporter : Can we see the evidence of this?

I do not understand this describing Trudeau as do nothing. Name a file and it doesn’t take very long to come up with things he has done. New upper tax rate, lower income me tax for everyone else, turning Harper’s tax credits for the rich into direct benefits with progressive payouts to help the poor, 0% Federal student loan interest and very generous repayment timeframes, big investments in the EV transition and home heating, cannabis is legal now, 150 water boil advisories lifted, huge investments in affordable childcare brought regulated child are costs way down, I could go on and on and get more and specific but honestly, people are so worked up they don’t remember any of this or they reply with their pet grievance.

How quickly we as a country forget that these things can be rolled back.

There are articles that list all the times he’s promised something “in two weeks”, it’s a blatent tell that he has no plan at all.

Nobody knew healthcare could be this hard

That was some weird shit.

I guess we’ll see.

I agree with almost all of this except the idea only the NDP trying to make things better. The Liberals have done a lot to benefit the working class. We’ve had income tax cuts, the inversion of the regressive child tax credit into the child benefit, and honestly a lot more that I won’t list for fear of turning this into something like a gish gallop.

Replace the book with a soccer ball and the image works still.

I think you’re confusing social democracy with democratic socialism. The first is as you say, and has huge overlap with liberalism, left liberalism, and progressive liberalism.

The second is achieving socialism through democratic means, without the need to overthrow government as once was believed to be entirely nessecary.

But then again, terms do change context over time, and by place. So maybe I’m the one who is wrong.

Conservatives have no media literacy and its a global problem.

I don’t beleive that cynical take for a second. The federal government has an obligation to consider the nationwide impact of a work stoppage, especially in a natural oligopoly like rail that moves a billion dollars of goods accross the country every day. In the end the arbitration is likely to favor the workers as it has on average in Canada.

It’s practically a Canadian tradition to swap out an unpopular party leader as either a sacrifice or a rebrand.

We will be lucky to get away with 4 years. A generation of young men is being swayed conservative in the smoke pits of the internet and I’m worried we’ll suffer a lost decade of governance by bumper sticker weirdos.

I’m hopeful the LPC will maintain confidence through their term with NDP support, in absense of the formal agreement.

I’d have much preferred to see the agreement last until next year. Finish at least getting the senate bills passed, give Trudeau another year of appointing liberal and, basically, not conservative senators.

He’ll govern like Harper too, like Harper if he grew up on 4chan.

Polinever is still a shit face baby nazi weasel

Yes, and while I am a liberal who generally supports the Liberals in Canada, I absolutely will vote to keep Pierre out of power, whatever that means at the time. I have no real animosity with social democrats.
