Fiscal conservatives are never and have never been “fiscally conservative”. Rather than being conscious of and considerate about how they spend our communal resources, they have always just believed that there should be no communal resources, and the rich should get to run roughshod over us all.

Let’s throw a wrench into things: Dual Member Proportional, a system that doesn’t send people who haven’t directly stood for election to Ottawa.

Then leave. You’ve contributed nothing but vitriol, and without explanation. You seem to have no gripe, yet desperately want to gripe. Why don’t you do that somewhere you find more entertaining?

Like under a bridge, or something.

The NDP really doesn’t have a leg to stand on, let alone to throw their weight around. If they topple the government and force another election anytime soon, the electorate will absolutely stomp on them.

When faced with an existential threat, humans do not do the foundational things that prevent those threats from returning. They tackle the facade. Trying to be threatening to stability while everyone feels so deeply threatened and unstable is more likely to destroy the party than to accomplish anything, no matter how good an idea they may want to push.

Plus, the BQ has already thrown their support behind Carney.

The NDP needs to get their house in order, and actually build support by being active members of the community again, and not just the milquetoast social democrat political party with no media outlet backing them.

They’re all voting anti-Liberal, not pro-Conservative.

There are more than two parties running in every riding in Alberta. They don’t show them the time of day, either.

They’re just smart enough to be embarrassed for their pro-conservative votes.

Jesus, I know some people have weirdly hostile reactions to the Examiner, but come on.

I saw. Bringing the original Canadian cast back for the announcement trailer fills me with fuzzy butterflies and fluttering kittens.

Well, he’s special! It’s right there in his title! He’s the specialest little employee. Yes he is! Yes he is!

They don’t own it yet

And from this post, I discovered there’s a new SPC game im development.

This just made my month!

They value winning too much to actually fall apart, unfortunately.

He’s literally the NDP premiere of Manitoba…

And there will be no appetite for anything that looks like the NDP doing anything but nodding along for the next few years.

It doesn’t matter what the nature of politics is. The public doesn’t care.

The public will punish the NDP even further if it threatens the govenment, then the CPC will win. If they want to hurt the country right now for the sake of an agenda they haven’t run on in years, it will be the end of the party for a generation.

Edit: I’m genuinely shocked y’all silently and passive-aggressively think the NDP has any kind of mandate to take down the government over anything, let alone a policy they’ve all but abandoned years ago.

Y’all would rather the Cons rule than accept that nobody ran on electoral reform. Ridiculous.

Alberta takes every opportunuty to sniff its own farts. They believe they are better than the rest of us, and that they have a divine right to tell us what to do.

Not necessarily at the individual level, but at the provincial, cultural level.

They’re into the same wild self-egrandizing as the Americans. They can’t say anything good about themselves without sneering at someone else. They are selfish, they are bullies, and they are a national embarrasment.

Hah! The NDP threatening the stability of the government again will end them. There is no appetite right now for playing games. The NDP already looks like the party of failed and dangerous opportunists after they tried to hand thr government to the Conservatives as Trump mocked us.

No, this is a failure on that front. The Conservatives should be a non-factor now, but they’re disturbingly close. This is a tight election that has kind of crushed the left-ish party.

The country is deeply polarized, and it’s entirely the fault of billionaires and their media companies

Land doesn’t vote, but my neighbours do, and I want to know whether I need to spit on them or not.

And to engage peoples hard, negative feelings. The conservatives keep capturing the NDP’s natural base because they refuse to actually reflect their feelings and perceptions back to them. This whole “let’s get along, and cancel your bank fees” thing doesn’t resonate.

He’s already demanded an investigation into those opinion polls. He won’t be looking in the mirror.
