The state has no right to tell me what I can or can’t wear.

Asking the rich to be less rich doesn’t seem to be working so well to me.

All of this is just coping really hard bro. Look behind any of what you said here and it’s all the shadow of the greed of capitalism. You’re not going to convince me the libs are bad. I know. I also know the cons love unfettered capitalism and use immigration as a smokescreen to hide the real problem: capitalism is failing.

Putting the blame on people coming to Canada to escape war and poverty is disgusting. Be better.

You don’t like capitalism making homes unaffordable and having no money? Change capitalism, don’t blame people in need.

I highly doubt the liberals would have done any of that if not for the NDP. They didn’t implement any of it with “help” from the NDP, and only did it after the threat of toppling their government. Not exactly gonna clap for them when they weren’t going to do it in the first place.

The biggest dupe the cons have pulled off is making you think immigrants are the issue, not the boss who won’t increase wages, or the landlord that continues avaricious levels of rent.

Refugees and immigrants are not your enemy. The wealth hoarding class is your enemy.

Do you think an effective government only focuses on a single problem? Or would an effective government govern properly by taking into account multiple issues? Perhaps even issues that impact a half of our countries population?

This is terrifying. How could Canada continue to maintain sovereignty in a situation where the US is threatening its independence, much less the US and Russia?

Shocking. Who coulda guessed?

Really makes you wanna belt out o canada!

What’s to be proud of? The fact I have to wait three years to see certain medical specialists currently? Or the past of genocide and racism?

I received a $400 cheque from the Alberta government one time. Feels good to be government funded!

Fr*nch

Send it to one of those rug cleaning guys. Gonna take a while

Just regular normal things ig

A lot of opinion over the fact that Canada, in its entire history, has only used conscription twice and it was for two major conflicts

I never claimed otherwise.

The arguments you are attempting to make are moot when considering this very big fact

Not really. It has nothing to do with how many times Canada has used conscription.

If it is hard to imagine a war Canada would be fighting to defend itself worry not because the arctic is thawing and a few countries are salivating over it.

I imagine if a straight up war of conquest over Canada’s north happened, more Canadian’s would be willing to help with that and conscription would probably be unnecessary. That highly depends on our feelings of national unity, which to me seem to be at an all time low (in my lifetime). I feel that any attempt by the federal government to introduce compulsory military service would be disastrous as there’s high tensions when it comes to the prairie provinces and Quebec. Why would they consent to their peoples being forced to fight and die for a united Canada when they don’t feel like Canada should be united?

I don’t know how they would plan to address this, but I feel Canada would need a large reason to be unified if they were to introduce conscription, and the current climate isn’t it.

Ehh. IMO WWI was just a war between declining empires. Not like we were fighting for anything but Britain in that one. At least WWII has the excuse of fighting fascism, but in my opinion that’s a sort of post facto justification considering how friendly the US and UK was with right wing ideals before the war.

Would I fight a war against fascism? Yeah. Would I fight a war to make Danielle Smith, her oil companies (I am Albertan so this is the first thing that I thought up, but it applies to capital-serving govt in general), and the ruling class richer? Nah.

It’s hard for me to imagine a war that Canada would be engaged in that wouldn’t be just to save the US’s declining influence, but I imagine that some Canadians would support conscription if there was a proper justification that wasn’t “save the US empire” or “make more money for oil companies”.

At least that’s my opinion.

I miss 9 every day 😭

It’s so incredible to me that we can see this 1000 years later. That’s so long I can hardly fathom it!

call out the curator themselves so we can call them out on their shite beliefs

Libs have been saying that for decades and look at the rise of bigoted beliefs all over the world right now. Seems that’s not the way to go; if you tolerate intolerance then intolerance will win every time.

It seems directly related to me. If the US government is fine with slave labour at home, then this decision is really only because the companies sanctioned are Chinese.
