My 1st wife would pound on me accusing me that a real man would've beaten her for what she'd done. So I'd smother her with a bear hug till she calmed down. My last one was a big woman. If I teased her I'd get a punch in the arm- that left a bruise! Having grown up tormenting 3 kid sisters, it was hard not to. My arm hurts just remembering that. Shit could she throw a punch.

Stupidest reasoning yet to vote for a traitor to his Party and his constituents, an abject failure to his own riding. Ranks right up there in dumbness with "My parents escaped from Communist Hungary, so I'll never vote NDP" and "the Socreds let them remove the plimson line on beer glasses so they can short pour, so I'm voting against them" I don't pay $125 mo. for MSP, my insurance on 2 cars last year was $10 less than it was for one before, I got a handful of rebate cheques in the last 5 years, don't need to pay a toll on the bridge to visit the family, let alone every damn day like they did. The new hospital in my town is almost ready to open and seniors aren't all leaving town because of no doctors, the bozo wants to close supervised injection sites and safe supply so your kid can die from fentanyl too. In his own riding bugs killed the trees cuz it's no longer cold enough in winter to kill them and we've faced evac notices over forest fires the last 5 years, his former govt removed appurtenance in forestry so timber must be milled where it is cut and all the major mills have shut down. But the dimwit doesn't believe in Climate Change. He's an anti-vaxxer publicly feuding with Health authorities. The only new thing in his hometown of shuttered businesses during his tenure is a McDonalds. 1- He wants to remove the Carbon tax and replace it with nothing... and tax breaks for large polluters who voluntarily reduce emissions - no penalty for doing nothing. 2- He's promising up to $3000 a month in tax exemptions for new home buyers, that drive prices up. And extending that to people that earn up to $250,000 a year. Which will cost billions in tax revenues, but we're supposed to believe they won't result in cuts elsewhere? Not without massive deficits he's condemning the NDP for running! Now I could go on and on as to why he's not qualified in the least, but you brainwashed imbeciles who think that he is simply because he stole the name Conservative for his band of malcontent rebels he's got to be 'good' just continue in your blind ignorance. Try a little serious thought about reality instead of endlessly blathering like utter fools about the evils of socialism. To a province where our "Free Enterprise Govt" was the one that nationalized the electrical grid, the BC railway and the ferries. Because it was best for the people and the province instead of cowering like 1950 McCarthyist chickenshits over socialism. Try remembering the days of the 1970s when there was still a red you-know-what of socialism in the NDP and they made ICBC and the Agricultural Land Reserve, two things that persist to this day. An just hope that Rustad has the brains not to throw those out too.

Reagan was long after the VietNam war. And of course he won singlehandedly - the Russian and Eastern European people had absolutely nothing to do with it. Reagan was God Almighty Himself. Know a good believable conspiracy theory? Gorbachev visited an arcade in the USA saw 8 year oids shooting thousands of saucers out of the sky in two minutes and knew the USA could commission Star Wars and Japan would build it cheap for them. Knew he'd lost right then. When he got home to Moscow his mother beat him over the head with the half loaf of stale bread she'd lined up for all day. That settled it. And he couldn't sleep either over the noise from his wife's Bulgarian diesel-electric vibrator.

Years ago when there was a payout for something or other, I would shake my head when other shoo owners griped about the natives and their free money. It all ended up in our pockets FFS. I had 7 full time employees in my store then down to two in the end. Everyone was working, building and wiring up new homes and shops on the rez - and they're the ones still there and open!

And many cultures eat their rice with spoons or their fingers. So what? Big pieces you have to cut up aren't part of their culture.

WTH do you mean? You one of the pessimistic deniers that claim if something didn't work out 100% to your personal satisfaction, right f*cking now, it was a big fail? I can afford Blue Cross, so no benefit to me but I have grandkids and nephews and nieces in child care. The kids don't shell out the % of their income that we had to. Do you have the audacity to claim we were better off without those programs?

Modern democracy needs regular and active involvement of citizens

Supposedly. That's what they always tell us. Never worked out that way has it? Neither store here moved to self checkouts. Managers admit shoplifting and theft account for 20%+ as it is. Must be why you can get eggs for $1 less at any farm, they charge $2.29 lb for bulk potatoes vs 89c and $2.49 for 99c worth of green onions. -
China's just the flavour of the month. Who was once a leader in microwave, nuclear and communications technology? We do it to ourselves.

So the signs are going up all over, in front of, between the closed shops and mills. Rustad's true believers here think the abysmal job of representing his own riding qualifies him to represent the whole Province. IOW he'll make everywhere else just as shitty and make them feel better about their own predicament. Schadenfreude is now a redeeming quality among pseudo-conservatives

Next he will start phoning you claiming he's Don from Windows... your modem is infected....

Did you get a discount or get paid? Then you're effectively scabbing. Quicker and more convenient can be accomplished with more cashiers. -

BTW your Freedom of Speech does not cover shouting FIRE in a theatre, incitement to riot or standing on a soapbox calling for people to kill the Jews. So it shouldn't surprise you a native MP asks for an amendment covering her people. As seen on this very board anti-Indigenous racists regularly spout off over anything that might give natives a step toward equality.

Your thoughts on the next Federal Government.
herbie replied to CITIZEN_2015's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
He's a populist pseudo-consrvative. Pandering to every malcontent who'll pad his chances -
No the real reason is that so many people believe shit like that they'd hinder any process. PP would be screaming such an accusation at the top of his lungs. Just as he, a career politician at the top pension is blasting out ads that the only reason Singh won't support his obstructionist power seeking is so he can pad his. All we're ever going to see is oceans of lies and misinformation on electoral reform the average Joe will have to wade through.
