He’s a hypocrite. He’s using provincial power to stomp all over what cities have implemented, just because he doesn’t like those decisions.

We should be carefully taking down names. Not to do anything now, but to hold them to account if another violent insurrection occurs.

Because even if Trump invades, these traitors will likely be hunting down the rest of us, and likely exterminating us as well. We need to be able to identify the traitors.

They will fail.

Like all the other things they have “failed at” with almost zero consequences? Like ignoring judicial orders and deporting American citizens and dismantling the government and shredding the constitution and all that other anti-democratic crap?

Sure, buddy. And I have some premium sand for you to bury your head into.

as long as you didn’t use your two terms.

And even this is looking increasingly irrelevant. Trump has another 3¾ years to ensure nothing is in his way for a 3rd, 4th, or even more terms. And with Republicans working to ensure a permanent Republican ascendancy, even voting will become a performative act; a thin veneer of legitimacy papering over useless theatrics and a predetermined outcome.

Good riddance to a snake-oil salesman and populist rage-farmer. We can’t afford to have people like this as politicians, they lead to things like Fascism and dictatorships.

I mean, just look at Trump’s America. Same shit, different pile.

America is due south, it is trivial to cross the border and immigrate there.

Almost 45% of our voting population are voting for the Conservatives. That’s a lot of people who desperately want to be the 51st state and live under authoritarianism and fascism.

Why they don’t just move there is beyond me. I would gladly see every single Conservative voter move to the America they want us to be. Canada don’t need them or their kind.

Our population grew at 17%.
Our GDP grew at 17%.
That is how we got a near-0% per capita GDP.

Are you really saying that all these immigrants, many to most of whom work minimum-wage jobs because they have no ability to leverage their own foreign education and certifications, are really going to be equally as economically productive as citizens who have advanced/established careers and domestically-recognized certifications and education?

Ya gotta use your brain once in a while, man. Otherwise your ignorance ends up bleeding out all over the place.

It’s just as bad as Schrödinger’s immigrant: simultaneously lazy AF and mooching off of social security, while also taking all of our jobs. It’s a recipe for racism and ignorance, while also being intellectually bankrupt.

They think life will be better in the States with all the untaxed dollars they’ll have.

Not only do working-class Canadians pay less in taxes overall, compared to working-class Americans, but we also pay less on our taxes for our healthcare, and don’t have to pay a single cent on top of that for essential healthcare.

Where it does flip is with the “middle class”, on the upper end of the working class. They do pay more in taxes in Canada, but you’d have to be earning in the top-20% of all adults or families to see that happen. For the average Canadian adult or family, they pay less than their American counterparts.

We have a lower average wage than the poorest state,

Wow. Even a cursory Internet search could show that this is wholly and absolutely incorrect.

The lowest Canadian minimum wage is $15/hr, in Alberta and Saskatchewan. The lowest wage is tied between Georgia and Wyoming at $5.15/hr.

The exchange rate means that $5.15 USD = $7.13 CAD/hr. That’s less than half of what PEI minimum wage is. And for the record, even if I were to work at minimum wage, I would enjoy $17.85/hr, out here in BC. That’s 2.5× more!!

And even when we look at averages, the state with the lowest average wage in America is Mississippi, with an average annual wage of $37,500/yr.

When we look at Canada, the province with the lowest average wage in Canada is Prince Edward Island, with an average wage of $56,887/yr.

Again, the exchange rate makes Mississippi’s average wage around $51,952 CAD/yr. That’s 90% of what the average PEI wage is.

Your conservative “alternative facts” are nothing but bullshit.

We have had stagnant GDP growth for a decade

Understanding basic math and economics can help a lot here. If the country’s population is growing at the same speed as its economy, the per-capita GDP will be about 0%. After inflation, Canada has seen a 17% GDP growth, which is more than the average.

exploding housing prices

Because of investors, and for no other non-trivial reason.

It’s the investors who buy up 5, 10, 15 or even more homes to then rent out, which are the problem. They are the ones who drive up the price and then leverage the “captive market” to charge whatever rents they want, because prices are too high for renters to afford, and rents are too high for them to save.

It’s the investors who buy homes “on spec” only to flip them near completion for twice (or more!) what they originally paid which are the problem. They are the ones driving home prices up purely for profit, likely having never seen the place.

It’s the investors who buy homes to flip, slap on a coat of paint and shove in a cheap IKEA kitchen before listing it for 20% more than what they paid which are the problem. They make no material improvements, frequently introduce problems via shitty work, and then expect to reap outsized rewards for something that is usually worse off than when they first got it.

And who encouraged these “investors”? The mortgage deregulation of the Mulroney and Harper administrations.

doctor shortage

Decades-long Conservative defunding of healthcare in order to “prove” it “doesn’t work”.

food bank usage is skyrocketing

Greedflation, thanks to food chain consolidation. Most of which was enabled by Conservative policies. The Libs looked the other way, but didn’t explicitly encourage it like the Conservatives did.

people are living in rest stops

See: “investors”, above.

on average we are poorer than the poorest state as they attempt to plaster over falling GDP using mass immigration.

How bad at math are you?

Canada’s GDP has grown by 17%, after inflation, over the last decade. They only reason why per capita GDP is near zero is because it is per capita… if population grows in lockstep with GDP, the math is inevitable that the per capita GDP will be almost nothing. But the overall after-inflation GDP is better than most OECD countries.

If anything, mass immigration hurts GDP numbers, it doesn’t help them.

part of that is dropping taxes

Except the only taxes that Conservatives will actually be dropping will be those of the wealthy and hyper-wealthy, because those are their campaign donors. This will put the taxation burden on those who can least afford it - the working class. And when tax revenues drop, out comes the cuts to social services, leading to more cracks that people and families fall through and more homeless people living out of their vehicles.

It’s a well-worn path walked by all conservative political parties world-wide, PeePee will be no different.

“I am not a fascist, a bigot, or an authoritarian. I do not want Canada to become the 51st state. I do not want to destroy the last public broadcaster in Canada. As such, Conservatives are the last party I would ever vote for.”

So criminalizing poverty and homelessness? How typically conservative. Where the cruelty is the point.

Can we all not agree that DOGE has been the single worst thing to happen to America in the last century?

So why TF would we want that here?

They want to go back to this time where women had no rights in society at all and were completely owned by their father and then their husband.

Eh? Where is this one coming from?

Right? Especially when some of the Red Pill’s most fundamental teachings say almost the exact opposite: that marriage was a transactional arrangement that women managed to Welch out of over the last two centuries, while continuing to nail men to the wall over if they failed to hold their end of the bargain.

Because when you really look at that transactional arrangement as it was used for centuries, almost all of women’s obligations to the contract have been rescinded, yet almost all of men’s obligations to the contract continue to be enforced. And violently so, by “daddy state”.

Now, how is this in any way fair? It isn’t. If this were any normal contract, a judge would throw it out in a heartbeat for being grossly biased in women’s favour.

And yet, women continue to scream “misogyny” every time men try to re-establish balance/equality in that arrangement, either by restoring women’s obligations, or by reducing their own obligations.

And that isn’t “equality” in any shape or form.

include being anti-feminist

Any man dedicated to true equality should now consider that term to be a pejorative, as it has become a thin veneer of legitimacy over an ocean of anti-male gender bigotry.

I am the true threat to feminism: I am an egalitarianist. because if there is one thing that throws feminists into frothing rages, it’s true equality.

Unfortunately, “the man-o-sphere” also lumps in those men who just want to be left alone to their own devices, who - for whatever reason - have gone their own way and don’t want to participate in what they see as a negative-sum game that is tilted - almost hilariously so - against men. Many to most of them aren’t misogynistic in the least, they just don’t want anything to do with women. As is their right.

Because just as a man don’t deserve a woman purely because he’s a man, the same also works in reverse: a woman don’t deserve a man just because they are a woman. There are many women who demand that men leave them alone, but then get all offended AF if a man turns down her attentions. That it is somehow misogynistic for any man to refuse the needs and attentions of a woman.

Sorry, but “equality” doesn’t work like that - it only works equally in both directions.

When facing a fascist and authoritarian regime, it comes down to a very simple question:

Do you want to die on your knees, or do you want to die on your feet?

There really isn’t any kind of a third option, unless you want to turn traitor and become a collaborator. Which I don’t think you’re going to be given that option.

it would for sure lead to a Constitutional Crisis.

News flash: America is already in-play with multiple constitutional crises. PoTUS ignoring direct court orders, abducting and sending US citizens and legal residents to foreign gulags, and so forth.

Now granted, this would be just another one on top of a rapidly-growing pile. But so far the Orange Cheeto has already “won” on a number of points. Right now, the constitution is such in name only. It’s pretty much window dressing at this point. What makes you think that another crisis will actually discourage him from just doing whatever he wants?

America is no longer a democratic country. It is plunging full force into “failed state” status in an epic swan dive of authoritarian destruction.

Our current western culture is one of violent misandry.

Women are being released from almost all historical expectations and constraints, which is wonderful and good. This is actual progress in action, however lopsided and gender-supremacy-like it might be.

Meanwhile, men are still constrained by all the historical expectations set out for them, yet have been completely stripped of all benefits that have traditionally accrued with those expectations being met. And yet, we are still being violently nailed to the wall - invariably by women ignoring and/or outright demeaning us - when we fail to meet those expectations.

This massive asymmetry that men experience is what is creating subgroups of disaffected men. Because 1ncels don’t just leap out of the ground, fully formed – they are a direct response to the unintended consequences of women trying to eat their cake and to have it as well. Think about that next time women refuse to date down, or demand a “666 man”, or expect the man to pay on the first date, or any other archaic and gender-bigoted expectation.

Doesn’t help me with the neutering of Manifest v2… I’m slowly migrating away from anything Chrome-based in order to maintain my digital safety.

I’m even dumping Vivaldi, which I see as the only decent non-Firefox browser, because they are unwilling to keep Manifest v2 or upgrade their own internal ad-blocking to uBlock Origin levels of effectiveness and user-customization.
