Those particulars words are just virtue signals, unconnected with any specific policy or action. I don't like Trudeau, but I have no doubt my life and the material conditions for the average person would be worse under that repellent little lizard Pollivere because he's a conservative and that's what conservatives do.

Show us on this doll where Poilievre hurt you.

One could ask where Trudeau hurt you, unfortunately Trudeau banned dolls because they produce hate speech.

Except for the Barbie doll, as they are both the same gender.

But it's al you've got isn't it.  As i keep saying - you'll have an emtional break down and all you can cry about is how often i post and how long my posts are - because how can you be expected to pay attention for a WHOLE 15 seconds.

Insisting that I'm the one having an emotional breakdown while you respond to my one-liners with angry walls of text is...awkward.  😐

It's entirely possible (depending on one's situation or condition) that they may be materially better off  with one party in power over another. However, what's under discussion is our rights and freedoms which isn't quite the same thing. The Supreme Court of Canada has stated..."The very lifeblood of democracy is the free exchange of ideas and opinions. Government overreach, censorship, and suppression are dangerous to democracy and human rights" (CCLA). The U.S. Supreme Court has stated..."Freedom of expression is the matrix, the indispensable condition of nearly every other form of freedom.  Without it, other fundamental rights like the right to vote would wither and die" (ALCU).  Freedom of expression (or free speech) is the canary in the coal mine. When free speech comes under attack, all rights come under attack because free speech is the cornerstone of everything. What I see happening today with government policy,  at the university level, at school board meetings, the justice system, it doesn't exactly remind me of right wing extremism. It's the exact opposite in most cases.

While I value your opinions, I personally don't have any problems with those who post too often or use too many words. Posting is, after all, the lifeblood of this board. This is just an observation on my part. Carry on.

Not in the slightest   What's awkward is you insisting it's awkward that something that takes a few seconds to read is just SOOOOOO much text     Or that everyone laughing at you including me is 'angry'

LOL sorry kiddo.    Like i said, you're just coming across as desperate. It's the strangest hill to die on

In what way is it claimed our freedom has declined? Some of the criteria used in this index are fairly difficult to understand.

If it's topical or thoughtful, sure.  When it's pages and pages of theatrical jackassing?  Naw.

There is when you just cannot resist projecting your emotional frailty on others (which is rarely past the first page of a thread  🤣).  Every time you default back to your "aww muffin" routine and start insisting to people that you've caused emotional damage, or that they're broken, upset etc, a casual glance at your post count proves where that's coming from:

An angry an emotionally immature little man, seething alone at his computer for 16 hours a day.  😑

We've literally never lived in a. time where people have greater freedom of expression than we do now, what are you talking about?

And once again you accuse others of what you do yourself.

I"m not the one posting other people's post counts ad nauseum trying to say how terrible THEIR lives are

But keep going kid - watching your decent into emotional collapse is always good for a laugh 🍿🍿🍿😂

No, you're the goofy little muppet who's here posting 16 hours a day, and that has trouble getting past the first page of a thread (often his own) without a belligerent derailment targeting the first person who disagrees with you.  🤡

ROFLMAO - you just never miss a chance to double down on your stupid do you

"Please!!! Please sir - i'm DESPERATE to believe your life is miserable so i can feel better about myself!!!! - please please acknowledge me!!!!!"

That low self esteem of yours is showing again    but - this is how every discussion ends up because you get so frustrated looking stupid and the only thing you can think of to say is 'ur post count high u bad!!"  LOLOL

At least i know what 100 - 50 equals and i don't post links proving my opponent is correct and i'm wrong

If one has nothing to lose, then sure, say whatever you want. You can't be cancelled because there's nothing to cancel. On the other hand, many are being coerced into self censorship over fear of retribution. Others are losing their jobs, positions, or reputations over things they may have said 10 or 15 years ago. I wish I understood what you're talking about.

Your post count never even gets mentioned until your default program kicks in, which happens to be as soon as anyone disagrees with your dumb takes.  Then it's all about the aww muffins, and you frantically insisting that you're upsetting people who literally couldn't take you less seriously than they already do. 

I get it though.  It's tough being exposed as an unemployed no-life with no friends, no family and no hobbies beyond shitting up an internet forum 16 hours a day.  🫡

Doesn't it take a couple yrs of research to make that list? So that would take us back to the chretien yrs?

I never mention my post count - it's got nothing to do with my 'defaut' anything,

It comes up when you 'lose' an argument and go into hissy fit mode.  As predicted. Nobody else ever mentions it and nobody cares. Just you - because it's all you've got.

Speaking of post count - the vast majority of yours are you chasing me.  Talk about obsessive.

LOL mention it a few more times, maybe that'll help and i'm SURE everyone will respect you THEN!

Isn't the Frasier Institute a research company that continually does research and publishes annually?

These types of posts are your default programming. "You're losing! Yes you are!  You totally are!"

LOL - stil trying desperately to put together your shattered ego i see

Nope kid - i'm not trying to convince you you're wrong - i'm pointing out what YOU do every time you decide you've losst.

Every. Single. Time.

I never say you've lost - i think it's pretty obvious when you lose and doesn't need pointing out, but the moment YOU think you've lost you go into hissy fit mode, you become desperate and frantic, you follow me around the board randomly attacking, you make little obsessed pictures of my post count that NOBODY CARES ABOUT including me and in fact other posters tend to make fun of you or ridicule you for (again), you'll pretend that 3 or 4 sentances is some sort of 'word wall',

and when all of this is pointed out and you're asked why you're like this, you'll pretend someone told you that you were wrong.

Kid - no one needs to say it. It's obvious.  What you're being asked is why you act out like a 3rd grader when you realize you look like a steaming pile yet again.

Now you're just basically my play thing    you say something stupid, i rub your face in it, and then sit back and watch the hissy fit unfold    Your opinion is worth nothing and the only people who relate to your level of thinking are mental geniuses like black dog  

It's pretty hiarious  

Now go on and complian about how that was just too much for your little brain to read    Everyone can use the laugh

[Moonbox]

Nothing proves that it's the other guy having a "hissy fit" (and that you're totally keeping your cool) like pounding a spastic wall of text that nobody's going to read, right?
