I guess so? Is this the "supporters" in the OP?

🙏👍❤️ Obviously. Some people don't believe that objectivity and open mindedness are possible. I suspect that they're just not used to compromising.

By across the board, I mean across political lines. Longevity and popularity factor in also, since that speaks to reputation.

We need to start treating YouTube as entertainment, not information. It can be information only when it comes from a source that is trusted across the board.

Agreed. Only prejudice would cause you to think that a PM naturally wouldn't want to help. I don't like Poilievre but I would absolutely trust him to try his best in a negotiation.

PS. Yes, I am including those who behave poorly. Again, cheers. Keep on.

1. If you value dialogue you should engage in it at the highest levels. 2. I didn't feel good about leagues of disgruntled people, who have been failed by our economy, not getting their wish, no. That's regardless about how I felt about their candidate. I have friends who are hardcore CPC too. 3. If you feel they are chuds, you really should ignore. It's not kharmically sound to copulate with swine, as Ghandi said. 4. Ok. 5. I firmly believe you should try to step aside, even if you fail to do so occaisonally. Anyway, I do appreciate your posts.

1. I can't see most of the posts you refer to due to the IGNORE function. 2. Go ahead, but it's not a wholesome pleasure IMO...it's back to the tedious back-and-forth that true dialogue should alleviate. 3. Ok 4. He could snipe at every move the government makes, and eventually swoop in and win an election which would rightfully be attributed to external factors. And then all of the vultures you're currently mocking would lick their chops and have a laugh at YOUR expense. The wheel in the sky turns forever....

Always better to talk about knowledge and ideology versus 'intelligence'. There are lots of intelligent people on all sides of an issue.

"Fake" meaning... "incorrect" or that someone cooked the books ? Conspiracies are hard to manage, but there's something to be said for an elusive public that rejects the establishment and simultaneously rejects their measurement techniques. AmIright ?

The problem with the US is that the electorate doesn't follow conventional information sources anymore... so they can't be relied on to elect a reasonable government.

Look at some of the ardent CPC supporters on here who are being wholistic in their perspective. Politics is only a spectator sport if, like sports, it doesn't matter. We're at an existential crossroads here, so take it seriously.

If you can point to which part of Dad Kapital Marx wrote about converting to electric vehicles? I'm really hoping that all the parties change, to become more collaborative. I don't see the Liberals going back to the moralism that help bring Trudeau down and I hope Conservatives can return to the pragmatic functionalism that has marked every great conservative PM that we have had. I don't know if Carney is going to be able to weather the political economic storm that's coming, but even if he's out in one year he can do a lot for the country by bringing up the level of dialogue between the factions.

Sore winners, wow... Politics isn't a spectator sport, like Canada's biggest loser or lingerie football. Although many would like it to be.

Sore winners 😔

Thanks 🙏 for the positive note. I feel like all parties will be changing now, except maybe for the Green Party.

And it actually proves the point they're against: See ? Volcanoes spewing CO2 for years caused the temperature to go way up and everything was fine... Everything meaning the massive ferns and bugs that lorded over the hot rocks.

It's a strange point to make. Temperatures being at deadly levels when humans weren't around isn't reassuring to me, for one.

Kind of a super socialist idea, that people can't lend out the money they have on hand. Fractional reserve banking has been around forever. It's another one of those issues like the gold standard... Where somebody talks about how it influences everything but nobody is really sure why. And conventional economists barely mention this stuff.

As typified by the "who cares" responses, Climate Change's big impact is that it revealed a public sphere that can't coalise on problem solving.

At this point, everybody needs a deal. The question everyone's asking is, who can I deal with that will keep their word? The US is off the table. They make up agreements, then tear them up on a whim. Europe is culturally, politically, strategically the best alignment but they're not geographically close.m China? We have done deals with them, and to my mind they kept them... But those weren't great deals for us IMO. Trudeau actually canceled some because of security concerns, if you can believe that. There is lots of money in the system to be aligned towards hard-working Canadians. How to do that, keeping productivity and efficiency as a priority, and rewarding the investor class... Will take a lot of brains and politics.

Nor Harper...
