@ploot

Just drink piss, Pierre. Drink piss, all day long. It's the only useful thing you can do at this point.

@Jorsh @ploot at least it would shut him up for a bit, the moron.

Gotta wonder if Harper still has any influence over him.

[-] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 week ago

Well he won't undergo a background check to get security clearance so I guess we'll never know who is pulling his strings!

[-] MyDogLovesMe@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

If he does, he’ll have to pay attention to intel about how the US, and foreign influence is working to get him elected.

If I don’t know, I can’t be accountable.

You KNOW Harper is still active behind the curtain.

[-] StokedforLocust@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 week ago

Indeed; there's no doubt about it. He's chairman of the IDU, which works hard to advance right-leaning policies worldwide.

In January, he did say that Trump's threats aren't the words of "a friend," so let's hope he is working FOR our national interests...

Little trump jr.

So basically, anything that government is doing that corporations could do, he's arguing that they should be doing, "because freedom".

I'm unconvinced that with more libertarian economic policies, I will feel more "free", and that this supposed freedom will make my life better.

Look how well it's working in the USA! I don't understand Canadians who look at the swindling, oppressive, exploitative fascist shitshow over there and decide Canada should be more like that.

Freedom is being able to have basic services necessary for society to function without getting fucked over for profit.

[-] ThomasCrappersGhost@feddit.uk 12 points 1 week ago

WTF is this obsession with taking from those who have or get least?

Not Canadian but have a suggestion: throw him to the sea.

[-] eestileib@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 week ago

I have a bad feeling he is going to win.

[-] BedSharkPal@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 week ago

Before it was a foregone conclusion. With Trudeau gone, and with Trump now president there does seem to be some hope.

Interesting how all of this austerity stuff is pretty in line with Elon Musk eh?

[-] BreathingUnderWater@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

Didn't he used to wear glasses

[-] ploot 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Yep. He reformed his image after everyone called him Milhouse. Now he tries to be a swaggering big man. Still no actual policies to help people though. He's more about the complaining and hurting people who are already hurting. See also: Republicans.
