  • But with each day and each cynical policy proposal, Mr. Carney shows he’s more than willing to play the political game, with the same all-consuming lust for power as any 20-years-in-the-game hack.

    “All-consuming lust for power,” or merely confidence he’s a far better option than PP coupled with the knowledge that undercutting the cons’ main talking points is practically a requirement to win enough swing voters to prevent Maple MAGA from winning the election?

    What an idiotic fucking statement, clearly the author is as “unserious” as they claim this election is…











  • As an Albertan, I fail to see see what leverage she thinks she has here. Our province consistently votes conservative regardless of how many bones the Liberals are throwing us (ex, buying a pipeline to ensure it gets constructed when the owner backs out) or how much the Conservatives ignore us.

    Leaving Canada to either form an independent nation or join the US are both wildly unpopular, and there’s nothing she can say that’ll drum up enough support for either to occur. If she decides to “turn off the taps,” her O&G overlords will punish her.

    Like many of the dipshits making good money with little to no education in this province, she has a wildly inflated sense of our importance and value.



  • Lanchbery wrote. “Although I found the general damages to be minimal, Ms. Choiselat’s actions require me to award Mr. Kinnarath aggravated damages for her conduct.”

    Lanchbery also said the evidence presented by Kinnarath shows that he suffered minimal damage from Choiselat’s posts, which is why he awarded the activist “nominal” damages and did not issue any punitive damages.

    That’s fucking stupid. Punitive penalties should be steep enough to act as a deterrent, not merely based on what the judge perceives as the actual amount of harm to the victim’s reputation.



  • I don’t think it’s a cognitive bias preventing them from accurately assessing risk for a lot of these people. Based on some I’ve interacted with, they don’t care about how much pain they experience as long as the other side feels it worse.

    Others are just pure contrarians who don’t put any thought into it beyond “If the radical leftist blue hairs don’t want it, it’s probably a good thing.”
