Selina Robinson: NDP's cynical ploy to gain Muslim votes by championing the Palestinian cause The NDP federal and provincial seem to be bent on causing divisions between Canadians. How is this news? During covid they went way out of their way to try and drive anger and division between people rather than bringing them together. Unfortunately it's a common trait amongst the left these days, which is weird because historically that's not the case. But these days they are all about separating people. The green leader lost her riding last night and her first comment was how stupid British Columbians are because some of them voted conservative while it was raining because the rain proves global warming. This is someone who wanted to serve the people of British Columbia supposedly but obviously has no respect for them. The NDP is no different Edited October 20, 2024 by CdnFox 1 Quote There are two types of people in this world: Those who can extrapolate from incomplete data
herbie Posted October 20, 2024 Report Posted October 20, 2024 She lost because she didn't run in her own riding and bit off more than she could chew. She also came 2nd in a riding that's still NDP'. Firstenau also made the comment you're ridiculing because the 'atmospheric river' was happening again, not some random heavy rain and only those so thick in the head they'll deny their own eyeballs to repute climate change have congealed into the Brand Name of conservatives. As do the ones mentioned in the news clips that voted 'against Trudeau" and the lady who said she would vote for Kamala Harris. All the dimwits sheltering in the 'one big tent' of the BC Conservatives. Mike DeJong kept steering conversation to 'Free Enterprise coalition' to keep the spotlight off the fringe of weirdos. He is a NORMAL conservative. Quote

So she's utterly unelectable except under very specific circumstances. Makes sense. In short she's a loser Quote She also came 2nd in a riding that's still NDP'. So she lost Quote Firstenau also made the comment you're ridiculing because the 'atmospheric river' was happening again That's not possible, I've been paying my carbon tax She made that comment because she's an ignorant bigoted angry person who looks down on anybody who has a different opinion and thinks that the purpose of the government is to pass laws to enforce her will upon others and anyone else is morally bankrupt. Which would make her a disgusting little human being who has no business serving in politics in the first place. The left's utterly corrupt and morally bankrupt tendency these days to not only disagree with the public but be contemptuous of them if they don't vote for their party is disgusting. You guys are one step away from brown shirts and cudgels. Be deeply embarrassed Quote There are two types of people in this world: Those who can extrapolate from incomplete data
Aristides Posted October 20, 2024 Report Posted October 20, 2024 (edited) I think she has a point about the NDP. I was hoping Firstenau would get elected but we always get big rains this time of year, November has always been our wettest month, we used to call them Pineapple Expresses before Atmospheric River became popular. Warming is probably increasing the frequency and severity but the one we are having now is not out of the ordinary. Edited October 20, 2024 by Aristides Quote

I agree, but just for the fun of it let's imagine that this was out of the ordinary and that we knew with certainty that it was a result of global warming. It would still be grossly inappropriate for her to suggest that the voters of British Columbia were ignorant or stupid just because they had different priorities. Which is what she did. If you are going to stand to serve the people then you have to respect all of the people even if you disagree with some. In that respect she failed Quote There are two types of people in this world: Those who can extrapolate from incomplete data
