I got home about 20 minutes ago. I left the house about 4 hours ago.

That’s some serious scab-like behavior, Balzac. Not overcoming a name like that with this shit.

I could definitely beat up Galen Weston Jr, thank you very much.

Yeah, kneecapping our canola industry to support the USA’s foreign policy, on the other hand, is a great deal for us.

Keep these fucking pigs out of my country. One kind of foreigner I absolutely am bigoted against are ICE agents.

So we’re ok with demanding bosses in our capitalist paradise,

…Are we? The thing about business is I don’t vote for the boss. And “demanding” isn’t great if the demands are totally out to lunch. Which definitely happens a lot.

Value is a product of human labour. Want more cool stuff? Get more humans.

Defence is absolutely a service the government is providing the country. Define it however you will, that is the nature of the thing.

As for the rest, everyone keeps banging on about junk mail but I seem to get other things in the mail regularly as well.

I don’t think government services need to turn a profit to exist. Including the military.

It’s not that they are for that but rather they are for owning things that do that as a side effect.

How much money is the military losing per day? As far as I can tell they aren’t bringing in any income at all!

I get a lot of value out of F-Droid, my ass is going to be very chapped if Google manages to kill it.

Yeah, Canadian voters fucked up real bad and now we’re going to suffer the consequences, it’s true.

Except, once again, the last two elections resulted in a strong enough NDP to stop the Liberal’s worst instincts. To such an extent that people were able to lie to themselves that the good things that came from those governments were the products of the Liberals and not NDP pressure.

What if instead of racing to the bottom we invest more in the public sector and create more good jobs that create citizens who can contribute rather than forcing more people into minimum wage or gig work?

The NDP isn’t even an option at the moment though

They were at the time of election. It was not a two party situation, that’s just a lie people are telling themselves to soothe the foolish decision they allowed themselves to be tricked into making.

We don’t live in a two party state, believe it or not.

“Oh, but only two parties had a chance of winning!”

Except in the previous two elections we gave the NDP enough power to hold the Liberals back from their worst tendencies to such an extent that people convinced themselves that they weren’t financially regressive shitheads, so I really don’t want to hear it.

The Alberta Advantage at it again.

It turns out all that resource wealth means nothing when you elect governments who do everything in their power to make sure as little of it as possible trickles down to the general population. There are Texas based oil companies who need that cash, thank you very much.

Can we be totally honest and admit the only reason we still have door delivery is to protect the jobs of mail carriers?

Surely we’ll make the country better when we make those people get minimum wage jobs at Tim Horton’s in the name of making government services into profit centres.
