Most of it will come from Jordan Peterson with his twisted, drug addled take. I think it goes back to his News Radio days from Dave Foley's horror stories about his divorce however many decades ago that was. You just know Rogan's wife is locked into an iron clad contract. Don't nobody mess with Joe's roll.

Just because someone fails at their attempted crime doesn't make them any less a criminal. Just means they're bad at it.

I've lived in a small rural prairie riding all my life. It's been not conservative one term in the last 40-50 years. The people who complain the most about Canada being broken are the ones who have owned their houses since the 90's and worked the same jobs for pretty much as long and have the health care system all their long lives and starting to collect cpp even while continuing to work, as long as it doesn't put them too much into the next tax bracket. They can't really explain how Canada is broken for them, beyond talking points. They can't really explain what they think Conservatives will do to fix the things they don't really know are wrong. They just vote conservative because liberal bad. The fuck Carney signs came out the day after he was confirmed as Liberal party leader. There was no time to formulate a hate for him, it was immediately implemented mindlessly

So because they're willing to say anything to get elected they're a better option? What have the conservatives actually done in the last 30 years to help working class Canadians? Are we supposed to suddenly trust them now that they realize they have to have actual policies instead of just 'hate this one guy'? Are we meant to ignore decades of Polivere's voting record?

Slogans and cancelling Prime for a few years isn't going to stop the US from rolling over us, militarily or economically if they really want. It's great everyone is willing to fight a 30 year insurgency but who wants that. I'll be dead before seeing any kind of Canada again. Yes I selfishly want the chance at retirement I was promised my whole life. I don't want a war if it can be avoided.

Anytime I bring up that this time is the last time Canada can build nukes with at least some plausible deniability that they aren't aimed at the US, I'm told they'll never allow it and it's immoral and it's not the Canadian way. It's the only chance to hold off an American threat for long enough to get through this but apparently hardly any Canadians want them. So negotiation is the only way. And we're not strong enough or unified enough to force our hand. Time is needed to forge new alliances and firm trade partners.

Carney was always a compromise to stave off a horrible outcome. No one is going to be happy. The right didn't win, the left can't get what they want and the middle has to scrape and fight to just maintain some of what we have. Nowhere near enough people want what the NDP is selling. Too many in the centre were dismissed, or called racist, or misogynistic, or homophobic, or fascist or whatever for veering from the party line. So too many gave up or just turned right just to feel like they'd get something.

The way this country over reacts to any kind news, real, exaggerated, contrived or just out and planted by agitators is so fucking disheartening.

They'll be praising him for how good the stuff is that they scavenged from their neighbours burnt out homes. And saying how nice it is not to have mortgage payments on the cave they live in

The night trump got elected the first time was the night he finally lost touch with any reality and showed his true colours.

The End of the World Podcast was started by Stanhope as a joke, but you could tell as the night went on that people like Doug and Burr realized something bad was coming. Rogan came back to the show, drunk as fuck after doing a set, and started shitting on them for being so dramatic. He knew his bubble of privilege just got more secure so screw everybody else, especially his idiot followers.

Actual shirt being sold on temu. I honestly don't know who it's marketed for. It's so ridiculous you wouldn't think it was for supporters but with the denseness of that crowd who knows.

There was nothing in the parent comment about Israel or Gaza either but here we all are.

Not to mention a truck trip away compared to a truck run to get to a train to get to a ship that unloads to a train that unloads to a truck to get to its destination.

Small Achievable Goals has promise, only a couple episodes in though. North of North had been mentioned and I like it way more than I thought I would. Children Ruin Everything is a really good Canadian show, but I don't know if it's on Gem.

Pretty sure he stopped competing in any kind of martial arts long ago, and that was only ever Tae Kwon do. I'm sure he trains hard but seagull was a legitimate practitioner too and over a foot taller. Neither one would do much competing in the wild against anybody who wasn't paid to lose to them now. Joe does love sharing that video of him kicking a bag hard though.

Yes, but the question is why. Is it based on logic based reasons or due to the misinformation campaign? Because they think the current Conservatives will actually do anything to make substantial changes to address these issues or because idiots like Rogan and Mcleary tell them to hate the other side? Is it because they're not getting enough or just because someone else is getting something?

It's not like anybody is going to start building thousands of $500000+ houses and selling them at cost to the middle class. The only thing the feds would do to address housing would be to build low cost housing again. I can imagine how that would go over with the crowd we're talking about

I'm sure you used the same logic in regards to that Trudeau fellow who was so popular a few months back. His name seemed to be on everybody's lips, many rightwingers seemed to fervently want to have sex with him.

Yet somehow people expect Carney to be able to negotiate some kind of favourable deal with a recalcitrant man-baby who still holds a grudge against Canada because Trump hotel Toronto removed his name or something. Sometimes you have to wait for the knife to stop stabbing before you can try to stop the bleeding, much less heal the wound

People will be saying the same type of things about Canada soon; how it was our fault for letting our military decline, how we bought so much American product, how we let their culture take us over, how we didn't cultivate a bigger place for ourselves in the world but were content to live complacent next to a volcano.

For the most part people don't want the consrant struggle. Just to vote when it's time, keep up with global events, maybe protest if it's a big enough issue. But we still need to focus on family and career, fun and rest, peace and quiet.

For Them, the cause is their job, their activities, their meaning. I don't think most of us realize how big the industry to manufacture consent is. When they have a bill prepared, before it even gets legislated they're already working on the next step, either how to redo it if it fails or how to build on it if it passes. They don't sleep, winning is their only purpose.

I just don't think we can afford to alienate anyone on our side. Telling someone there's nothing they can do to make something right generally just makes them think they have to look out for themselves.
