Fuck off with your spam.

No, that’s sadly not true anymore (if it ever was).

Alberta’s government is just as fucking insane as any Republican. The rural areas and small towns are redneck Christian hives of intolerance. I got called a “hippie cock-slurper” in the parking lot of a Lethbridge store, presumably because I have long hair. (And ignoring the point that I was getting into the car with my wife and toddler.)

Edmonton is a mix of blue collar and academia, and is a bit of a hard city but I love it. They’re reliably left-leaning. Calgary is very money-driven and tends to vote more conservatively (for lower corporate taxes), but hasn’t been supporting the UCP that much.

Oh that’s easy. They’ll be destroyed by a party that can’t lose an election.

The UCP just introduced the most extreme anti-trans legislation in North America. They have been methodically and relentlessly destroying public healthcare, and handing private contracts to their friends. Education has been revamped with a curriculum that explicitly promotes oil and gas production, denies the harm of residential schools, and encourages rote memorization over comprehension. Oh yes, and public charter schools. They’ve recently started to make inroads on ultimately banning abortion.

And they’ll get reelected, over and over again.

Not listed here, but California voted against outlawing slavery for prisoners.

Nope.

This is going to shift Canadian politics to the right, and embolden the fascists. This just significantly increased Poilievre’s chances of winning.

In a word…

FUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!

How are you going to stop a fascist CPC from coming to power?

Oh yeah. Yet another article from a vulture-capitalist-owned newspaper explaining why it’s not the media’s fault.

Trump will say anything and do whatever he decides is in his own best interests. Every time the media reports him saying some stupid shit, he gets media coverage, which gets him more support from morons.

He’ll keep spouting shit as long as it keeps getting reported and amplified.

Yes.

Yes it is.

Or maybe he forgot to take off his Freddy Kruger hallowe’en costume before jerking off to gay porn.

This is the most aggressively anti-trans bill enacted in Canada. It is a desparate attemot to keep David Parker from trying to get her ousted, in favour of someone even more extreme,

Flobikes/Flosports has the rights to the TdF and most other races here. I tried to use them once and gave up. They are incompetent, shitty, greedy, and evil.

So if I’m going to watch, it’s down to pirate streams.

Honestly, these policies are 100% successful, if you consider their goal.

Forced treatment isn’t intended to help people get clean. Nor is it intended to even keep them off the street.

The goal of forced treatment is to PUNISH people for using drugs. It is intended to hurt them, and drive them farther from a support network.

And at this, it is incredibly good.

Could actually be MCA - Make Canada America.

I’m with you on this, but don’t forget that most polling companies are run by conservative sympathizers. Angus Reid was reposting anti-Trudeau posts on twitter only a week ago. Quito Maggi, head of Mainstreet Research, was actively trying to sabotage Naheed Nenshi’s re-election campaign a few years ago.

And the media…well, pretty much all of the print media is owned by Postmedia which in turn is owned by a MAGA-loving US hedge fund.

Don’t despair - fight.

Interesting points, but you’re missing an important point: This isn’t necessarily about the definition of what SHOULD be or MUST be preserved, but whether studios should be allowed to PREVENT it from being preserved by those who want to.

We have language to describe Trump, and have had for about a century.

Fascist. Nazi. Psychopath.

Or we could go with much older language and call him incompetent, insane, crooked, twisted, sadistic, power-hungry, evil…

It’s not that hard.

So a third of the country are Nazis.

Not racists, not misinformed, not uneducated, but actual Nazis.

In ~20 days, the most powerful and dangerous country on earth may well elect a party of Nazis to rule them.

God help us all.

My thought process:

"Hah! The Beaverton really went beyond silly this time.

Oh, fuck…"
