I don't want you to repeat your explanations either. They're nonsense. Bury your head in the sand or sing a happy song. Everything is awesome.

I am Groot Posted February 9, 2023 Report Share Posted February 9, 2023 5 hours ago, Moonbox said: Even I'm not happy with the state of the country, or our government. You'll not find me saying a good thing about Justin Trudeau anywhere on this forum, ever. People being generally unhappy still doesn't make your balogna real. I am not 'generally' unhappy. I'm specifically unhappy at the way we are being deliberately divided by government policy because the Liberals see this woke shit as politically advantageous in attracting left-wing voters who might otherwise vote for the NDP. I'm specifically unhappy at a government which has allowed our national security interests to take a greatly secondary priority to their electoral interests in attracting Chinese voters. I'm also specifically unhappy at them allowing our military to deteriorate to the point of uselessness because they don't see military spending as being politically beneficial enough. I'm specifically unhappy at how this government has worked against our natural resource industries instead of taking advantage of them, embraced climate change penalties for those who need energy - thus impoverishing us all while driving manufacturing offshore, all while accomplishing nothing. I'm specifically unhappy at drawing in massive amounts of immigrants to overwhelm our infrastructure, greatly increasing housing costs while holding labour costs low. I'm specifically unhappy that Canada is falling further behind our OECD competitors in wealth and economic well-being - as well as their attempts at hiding this by importing massive numbers to increase our GDP (while lowering our GDP per person). There are a lot of reasons to be unhappy here, and specifically unhappy at this government and its actions, statements and policies. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonbox Posted February 10, 2023 Report Share Posted February 10, 2023 What I meant was that people (in general) being unhappy doesn't confirm any one person's individual theories, especially not the far out delusions. Some of what you say above I even agree with, though some I definitely don't. Most your complaints, however, are at least grounded in reality, so I can hardly lump you in with some of the other jokers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt Poilievre knows far more than I do about the political game. But if I had any advice to Poilievre, it would be this: Appeal to higher angels, "Canada is a good country". ===== And uh, his wife's kiss This advice would be far better suited for Trudeau, who is trying to remake Canada into a socialist activist’s dream.
