In many ways, Huxley was actually closer to the mark than Orwell. I should probably get around to re-reading both of Brave New World and 1984 at some point, it's been awhile. My dad was always a big Orwell fan, he'd bring it up quite often well before I ever read the 1984 or Animal Farm.

Vietnam helped shaped my dad's views as well, but he didn't just blame America, he blamed authoritarian government in general, and it sowed a deep distrust of the military into him, even the Canadian military. I picked that up from him and that ingrained a left libertarian view in me. But eventually, The House of Cards came crashing down, my libertarian streak helped me realize the left was getting high as giraffe pussy on good intentions, and the right was actually better at delivering the free society I so desired, despite the left wing propaganda that they were the only one's who cared about that, when it simply was not true. I also came to realize the military wasn't all that bad, it was the politicians who were the issue, so I dropped the military hater thing, and stopped displacing my anger on those who didn't deserve it and directed it at those who did.

You came around eventually. Yzermandias got your six, Dougie. My dad warned me that these commies weren't worth dying for, he just didn't call them commies, so I had to figure that out for myself, but enough of the groundwork had been layed to make that transition fairly seamless. Once I heard the pitch that "One of the great mistakes is to judge policies and programs by their intentions rather than their results", and I started to dig deeper into which policies and programs produced the best results for the causes the left champions, that's what turned me from the from my early-mid teenage left to the late teenage right real quick.

We Knew. We Knew. *sings*

It's not within Canada's extremely narrow overton window, and the far left and the media pushing their nonsense think that is extreme.

So it has nothing to do with PPC. Extreme elements are not even a large portion of PPC voters, the media just tries to smear the PPC by finding the obvious outliers and pretending they are the base of the party and pretending real conservatives are just "White Supremacist Nazi's". You are falling for obvious propaganda and projecting the views of vocal minorities on the PPC.

What does that have to do with Maxime Bernier or the PPC?

God Bless The Shinning City On A Hill, A Thousand Points Of Light, From My Cold Dead Hands.

Wanting to lower immigration levels to 1980's levels is not racist or bigoted. Stop being so easily brainwashed.

Public Sector Unions should burn in hell, not be propped up by cuckservatives who think they are real conservatives. They are extorting taxpayers to line their own pockets against the interests of everyone not in their little club.

Can't even differentiate between private sector unions and public sector unions and gives both way too much credit for raising living standards that was a product of the free market. Being resource rich has given Canada "Dutch Disease", burden not a boon. Also allowing unrestricted political speech isn't buying elections, it's simply free speech that you don't like and demonize.

He refuses to slaughter their sacred cows because he'd feel too American if he did that, as do all the other cucks. That's why the totalitarian left keeps getting away it, the Cuckservatives simply compromise and roll none of the nonsense back, like the fake opposition that they are, until they turn the ball over and the left scores another touchdown.

Police state coppers allowing zero transparency for themselves while demanding it of everyone else who isn't part of their little Public Sector, Fake, Make Work Club. That's Canada for you, Janus Face, Iron Fist in a Velvet Glove.

Which is why his blinders don't allow him to see this reality, his confirmation bias is cuckservative, he wouldn't know a real conservative if they slapped him in the face, he'd just mistake them for a "White Supremacist Nazi" or some such nonsense.

Down with public sector unions and "transparency and caps" on money in politics. Up with free speech.

You mean they keep trying to put cuckservative undercover liberal leaders in there instead of real conservatives?

Ukraine didn't know, and thus there was no Quid Pro Quo purely about the Biden's in exchange for it, because they were unaware they weren't getting the shipment on time. Derp.

If they don't let you ram stuff through, they get blamed for another election being triggered early, which results in more seats for you with which to ram things through. The Liberal base and progressive swing voters weren't that enthusiastic for Trudeau, but if Trudeau is thrown down early over some nonsense, they'll rally to the Liberals and punish those who brought them back to the polls so early.

The sooner you say it, the sooner you lift the weight of Confederation's incompetence off your shoulders.

8 seats means nothing. The vote split was irrelevant.

So, it would be referendum on Trudeau calling a snap election to try to exploit that, he'd be better off waiting until the media machine can run their name through the mud, and he knows it. Random Conservative Blank Slate vs Trudeau trying to exploit a change in leadership, bad juju.

No he wouldn't. The CPC would simply speed up the process and the election wouldn't happen beforehand. The media propaganda would have no time to attack his potential opponent, it would backfire spectacularly. He needs months of demonization of the Conservative leader at least, or it's way too risky.

The market can handle the shifting, the problem is the central planning propping up the oil with subsidies. Level the playing field, no need to shift subsidies, that is central planning, not the free market, and like I say, it's the central planning propping up the oilsands, not the free market. If renewables are the future as you suggest, they don't need protection from market forces via central planning, they just need access to the market without their competition being propped up by central planning. If you need to rig the market to make the shift to renewables, that will make them less competitive by relying on government handouts, and less innovative. That will actually slow down the shift, not speed it up.

The solution is the free market, not central planning. If you want to make the problem worse, shun the free market and embrace central planning as the only solution.
