Imagine ridiculing, mocking and insulting your allies for years and then being frustrated and disappointed when they don't line up to save you from a self-inflicted and utterly boneheaded crisis of your own making.

Is that how this works? Criticizing your comically corrupt, irresponsible buffoon of a President is "covering for the Iranian regime?" 🤡

The answer here is because oil prices going UP as a result of Trump's ret*rded adventure is bad for midterms, while easing sanctions on Russia and getting prices down a bit is GOOD for the midterms. At face value, these seem like contradicting priorities, but that's giving Trump and his clown cabinet more credit than they deserve.

If you read the same article I did, a big reason is because we spend way too much money money on elder and end-of-life care.

Why would he do that? That's more of a commentary on your life and mindset than anything else.... Seems like that's exactly what you've imagined here. Another Fox-derailed thread.

Can we just start downvoting these threads and not responding? Unintentionally, August is helping us find common ground. All of us are just "WTF?"ing his pointless threads.

I have to ask, do you not realize how often you're posting and how rarely you're generating any sort of engagement or discussion? You're just posting random, disconnected thoughts, and giving nothing for anyone to think about or evaluate. You may as well be starting threads telling us what you had for breakfast, then another post for your lunch, and then a third post for your dinner. That would be about as relevant to the rest of us as what you posted in this thread.

Frightened of what? Poilievre?

I don't think it really matters, does it? I don't think anyone is going hysterical here either. It just seems kind of weird that you have a murderer with a history of violent offenses getting special consideration because he has a different skin colour. The Liberal Justice systems has, IMO, long prioritized rehabilitation over public safety. I have trouble understanding why rehabilitation should even be a consideration for someone like this.

That's an awful lot of yarn-spinning you're doing there, when you could have just said "but but but it's TOTALLY DIFFERENT"

Is someone having a bad day or something? I'm starting to wonder if this guy is a bot....

Yeah of course! David Emerson crossed the floor to the Conservatives for the good of Canada. The people crossing the floor to the vile Liberals are doing it purely for greed, because...reasons!

Is that why you've defended David Emerson's floor crossing to Harper's team back in 2006, mere weeks after the federal election? You're not fooling anyone.

I mean...yeah. The whole thing reads as a big WTF.

The only thing that the judge should have read was: "a significant criminal record that includes serious offences of violence". This is a perversion of justice IMO.

I can scroll back on this page and find a clear example of him doing exactly what you say he's not doing, and it took me 5 seconds: (For Scott75): You have to realize that anyone can say anything they want on Youtube or their blog etc, and you if you look hard enough you'll find somoene, somewhere, saying exactly what you want to hear.

Better than nothing, but I think the whole thing needs a top-down culture change and a mandate review.

Lol probably. Letterkenny started as online shorts. TBF the CBC did produce Schitt's Creek. I never really watched it, but lots of people liked that. I just think their mandate is deeply misunderstood. The important part is about servicing communities, especially remote ones. I don't think it was ever intended to be a money pit that went out of its way to produce niche content for minorities that nobody wants to watch.

I just think it sucks, and I've felt that way my entire adult life. The perfect encapsulation of the clueless, out-of-touch culture was when they made George Strombolopolous the host of Hockey Night in Canada years ago. Like...what the f*ck? I don't think they need to be everything or even something for everyone, but "AGENDA" seems to seep through everything they do. Make programming that people care about. Spreading and promoting Canadian culture is not the same thing as trying to promote what the CBC thinks Canadian culture should be. Things like Letterkenny, Shoresie or even TPB are what become cultural icons. Nobody is watching and nobody cares about the latest French+LGBTQ+Indigenous arthouse project.

I look at the CBC and compare it to the BBC, and it's night and day. Yes, the BBC is much better funded, but it's also been able to stay relevant to Brits while at the same time exporting British culture to the world. I don't think the CBC is controlled by the Liberals as some of the monkeys on this forum think, but it's long been aligned with the Liberals and they scratch each other's back. I don't consider it a great place to get news.

Mhmm...right. That's why the three word slogans resonated so well with Conservatives...right!? AXE THE TAX! BUILD THE HOMES! STOP THE CRIME! That's a pretty comfy self-deception though. Liberals DUM. Conservatives SMURT!

That's kind of the point. The election wasn't really about platforms or policy, was it?

That's because I didn't bother answering. It was a pointless question, and I explained why.

If Pierre's policy proposals were what he wanted to be evaluated on, he'd have released a costed platform earlier than April 20th last year, after millions of early ballots had already been cast and only a week before the election. He'd already effectively lost the election by then. Besides, didn't Carney steal the Conservative platform? 🤨
