He's gaslighting canadians. Laaaaaaaame

[-] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 19 points 2 years ago

Lets hope the cons lose the next election and they run him off like every leader they have when they don't get in.

[-] jadero@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 years ago

Is it too much to hope for that they also realize that going ever harder might be the wrong approach?

[-] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 years ago

In the current climate? Yes.

[-] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

Dude. Cruel cronyism is dumb in all climates.

Can we give him a one way ticket to Florida?

Squinty McProudBoy should move to texas and take his racist, white supremacist, misogynist, fascist base with him.

Fuck what a trump level shit stain.

Poilievre tries to cancel Christmas

Can't the Speaker shut that shit down? Especially since he's admitted exactly what he plans to do?

[-] Oderus@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

Based solely on the merit of the amendments they've proposed, such as changing titles or a single word, they should face some sort of punishment for wasting precious time. It's clearly meant to do nothing but waste time and guess who pays for it?

[-] troyunrau@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 years ago

Speaker does that and next time it'll be amendments created by ChatGPT. Long ones. It's hard to have a process that cannot be weaponized or deadlocked without removing the process entirely. Or, well, relying on people being good actors.

This is kind of the fundamental weakness of our system, it relies heavily on people acting in relatively good faith.

[-] Octospider@lemmy.one 8 points 2 years ago

That's all we get from our politicians. Nothing substantial. Just gimmicks like this.

[-] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 years ago

Is he your politician? Sorry. You need to vote better.

[-] nik282000@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

Who is better? The NDP and Liberal parties are only barely less worse.

[-] Splitdipless@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I'll take the party that is marginally better than the rest. Why wouldn't you select the best option?

[-] nik282000@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

Would you rather be punched in the face, neck, or balls? There is no best option. The options are 3 parties who will, without a doubt, make this country less livable to varying degrees.

[-] Splitdipless@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Sorry buddy, but being dragged up and offered where to be punched, I'm absolutely exercising my right to choose (and to be honest, I'm kind of thinking neck at the moment). I refuse to be a sad sack that gets punched in the balls and laments that there was no other option.

[-] nik282000@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

Proud to choose a punch in the neck because at least it wasn't the balls! Our political system is woefully broken.

[-] Splitdipless@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

We have systems for that. We can join the various 'teams' of people doing the punching and we can, as a group, demand that they change their practices - next convention the group votes on replacing ball punches with a hearty 'punchbuggy' to the shoulder. Several leaders run and make promises on how hearty to make that shoulder-punch, and we select someone for the next election between face, neck and shoulder. You don't get to complain about where the 3 parties are punching if you aren't in there telling them to change their target - otherwise you got party die-hards saying things like "we've always punched to the neck, and that's what Canadians want."
