But the thread title brings out the Peanut Gallery like it was intended to. That's how trolling works. You know teaching a simple lesson about discrimination or white privilege IS discrimination these guys decided long ago.

By the time he stops lying in ads about how much it is and IF he wins, then IF he repeals the carbon tax, then it will affect only the few butt-stubborn bonehead provinces that haven't implemented their own provincial carbon tax so that they can control the revenue. It will matter SFA difference by then. So already having one long ago, there's zero reason for anyone in BC to vote for him unless they actually want to f*ck up the environment and lose social programs.

Rustad has been the MLA for umpteen years, long before NDP formed govt. It's always been a Socred/Liberal MLA. The govt does not own mills and logging companies so they don't build them, run them or shut them down. So they're not the ones responsible, the market is which govt doesn't control either. Maybe you should learn how things work, you act like the govt is communist, expect it to act in a socialist manner, yet insist you're a Conservative and vote that way. Just like the voters here have always done. OMFG you must be one of those who thought a 12% tax was more and way harder to figure out than two 7% and 5% taxes....

"Big City" here is 80,000 ppl. 100 miles away/ If you drive East from there you'll go for hours seeing only trees and the odd property. No towns, no businesses, not even a gas station. If you go west you'll see a small town every hour or so til youhit the ocean. North or South, you're going hunting, fishing or your job is in the bush. Your Sirius/XM satellite radio will cut out from trees, mountains and valleys more often than your cassette deck ever did driving down a dirt road.

Oh my... turning into reason10 of the North with your absurd headline conjectures, are you?

Maybe he'll go to King Chuck and ask to add more Senators so he can pass a new law that you can only say he, she and it or be jailed. Days have passed and all the editorials are celebrating the ruling as some massive victory, thinking it will end all environmental reviews or something. They're already working on tweaks to bring the law withing the guidelines.

That disappeared long before the NDP. As soon as you earned enough not to have to east at the Chuch mission, you made too much income to qualify. Inflation has doubled the cost of everything since the last time the govt adjusted the income levels for any of their programs.

Maybe one of those ppl who still buys from a street dealer because they don't know what the govt puts in the drugs they sell legally....

So the new Conservative leader made headlines in the local papers of his own riding. For comparing the treatment of anti-SOGI protesters to that of the Residential Schools. Utterly disgusting.

Oh.,.. PP will do everything regardless of popular opinion or how harmful it is to the environment, and fill the cabinet with cronies having a billionaire agenda? And some that say Trudeau's a dictator really want an actual one.

Oh eve better... double down and say you'd rather pay for your own penicillin, Chron's meds and insulin so some one in a million can't have a sex change. How small of you, how petty an argument. Like the dopes I worked with on the assembly line years ago: I brush my teeth so why should "I" have to pay for company dental plan deductions off my cheque...

FFS here you are again trying to debate a racist pig that types out his words and can't engage his brain first.

Must be the stupidest argument against Pharmacare ever made. Rantings of an absolute paranoic. Once again the same people argue against programs that will benefit them because they benefit all and not just them. I'd rather pay $200 for my insulin than have the govt pay $10 out MY tax revenue so Joe across the street can get it too. Same as Americans rattle off as the main objection to public health care. And about the "cost" of such programs because they insist something else must be given up in order to implement it. Well it isn't too f*cking hard to figure out how the Liberals aren't going to collapse over it, is it? Same way as they met they did with dental - a bit at a time, kids first, seniors next and they still haven't got everyone and no one's even holding them to account over that part of the NDP agreement. So remember the guys that are gonna throw away $10 a tank in revenue are gonna keep you paying $500 for a dental cleaning for each family member and don't believe you should pay less for needed drugs!

Laziness... 90% of why they don't. They'll say they're not allowed or able to plug them in, but WTF have they done every winter with their ICE vehicle. It's effing Canada, even some malls have winter plugins in the lots in these parts. My hillbilly buddy came back. He just has to recover a set of 'custom wheels' off his kid's old 84 Mustang. They're steel... about as custom as any $20 rims in a junkyard. And get this - it's because all he has to do is put new bigger rubber on those 14" rims and swap them for the 17" rims on his wife's 2021 Focus and it will "ride much better". Doesn't even think of $800 cost and if you can even get your choice of 14" tires these days or if the rotors won't be in the way.... I mean what would the engineers at Ford that made the Focus know anyway? Do you know the hunting, time involved and expense I went through when I couldn't get 12" tires for my Kei truck years ago and had to adapt it for 13"?

My your obsession with "the left" has got out of hand. Like a QAnon fixation. Some shadowy group of evildoers committed to doing everything you don't support. So by your own terms 'the right' will continue to support Ford no matter how bad he f*cks up. Just like I said the ability to realize you were wrong is "appeasement" and "wishy washy" to them. You just admitted it.

Moe should recruit Brenda Locke, the Mayor o Surrey. She too is a butt stubborn ass pretending she's acting on behalf of the electors. Ford eventually backed down and admitted he f*cked up. That'll cost the support of the ultra conservatives that insist you must double down and finish what you started regardless of how bad it is.

Soon he'll try the excuse that though the DIrectors of the Board of company may be held liable he as Chairman of the Board is completely different.... and can't be.

Let them go be human shields for Hamas,. Those evil Izzra Eeleys....

Tried like hell to post there... you needed so much seniority you'd have had to reach retirement a decade before... everyone that won a post got in and retired the minute that were allowed to. Same thing with any jobs in the Okanagan. Got some of the things we were looking for here... but it's way f*cking colder!

99% of the ralliers will deny they support Hamas. They just don't have the common sense to understand rallying for Palestinians days after their Hamas leaders committed an atrocity that it makes it look that way to everyone with a functioning brain.

Look at the extensive history of mining outfits playing Australia and Canada off against each other. And on the subject of aluminum, gotta point out to the whiners over the failed Northern Gateway that the town council of Kitimat - a town founded by the biggest environmental disaster in Canada - was against being an oil export terminal. Ironic isn't it? Might be biased living along a major river they can turn on and off....

You must be thrilled that it was JUSTIN TRUDEAU that saved it from the evil NDP. And that Washington State refineries are the main beneficiary. How if there's a break and a spill WE clean it up for them and maybe recover the costs that they'll just snap a finger an up the price of gas to recover. oh the greatness of our free enterprise capitalist system... totally faultless forever without blame, beholden to all.

Imagine how desperate one must be to point out negative things about Vancouver Island.... imagine the horror of living in Fanny Bay, Duncan, Courtney/Comox. Parksville or Tofino....so much inconvenience to get back to Cement City (Big Smoke)

Yeah like we should put the President of Suncor or the CEO of Teck metals or someone similar? Like why put someone with a clue about what they're in charge of?

Yet people will argue anything along the same line of reasonings: because some people don't plug their hybrids in, hybrids are stupid and I won't buy one...
