Of course they wouldn’t have wanted proportional representation, look at how badly they would have gotten their asses handed to them if they did that. The country would finally have to admit that the NDP were getting votes, just not seats to match, and if that were the case then why bother voting for the Liberals?

They do not like democracy because they know how unpopular they are. In 2021 the only ads I saw from them were of Trudeau begging everyone to “unite”(strategic vote) because that’s literally the only thing they have going for them.

This government is giving breaks to the rich and firing tens of thousands of federal workers in a time when everyone is already desperate. How much stability is there for Canadians when we have a high unemployment rate and the government isn’t even trying to help?

Oh, and they’re cutting development fees in Ontario in half to the tune of $8.8bil dollars, which will just get paid by the taxpayer now, so it really doesn’t seem like saving regular people money is much on their mind. Remember, the most basic rule of having a strong economy is small amounts changing hands often so almost everything the Liberals are doing is weakening the economy, not reinforcing it.

“Thank you Justin Trudeau for running finally giving us a more fair and democratic voting sustem and then tossing that entire promise aside when you realized that you’d never win again if people actually felt safe to vote for what truly represented them.”

Like most centrists, at best he was vaguely tolerable. Of course, all that did was allow the party to inch further right to give us the Harper Conservatives but with red ties.

Dry-aged beef has spoiled. The trick to it is that you need a fairly large piece, like a whole leg or side, and then you trim off all the bad stuff on the outside. More simply, they don’t butcher it then age it. If you go buy a piece of dry-aged beef it’s gunna act a lot like any other piece of meat but if it hadn’t been butchered you could just keep aging it beyond when this individual piece would have gone bad.

You mean that thing they’ve done for decades that their base wants? Look at how they acted with Good and Pretti, they’re not even trying to make white people comfortable anymore*; the gloves are off. They know that anyone who hates them will hate them and anyone who loves them will let them get away with pretty much anything.

*In the past they’d at least try to make white people comfortable so that said group could ignore major issues. Now they’re shooting them, too.

They can make the robots do the expensive jobs and throw the human meat at labour tasks. And we just let it happen.

Right now, billionaires are generally a bunch of human losers propper up by other human losers. And we’re letting them run away with it to where, in a few decades or less, they’ll have a more genuine capacity for violence by controlling machines to the enforcement for them. It seems like no amount of media showing how this always goes will be enough to get people to stop powering up their own demise.

Yea, thank god we instead have a conservative who’s first reaction to the US/Israel attacks was “Canada will unconditionally support the US” and who only bery slowly afterwards changed his stance.

The only thing good about this is the floor crossing to be able to point to the Liberals next elections and say to all the “strategic” voters that they’re literally voting for conservatives and/or a party which was attractive to Conservatives. We shouldn’t need that, because oh my god, but whatever, I guess.

What I’m driving at is that he might wear suits that fit but it’s important to still see that he still supports 90% of the things Trump does. Things like his Davos speech or what he eventually says in response to things like the US’s attacks are not worth defending because their purpose is entirely to make people feel as if there’s just enough stability to go back to ignoring politics again.

Carney is still a conservative’s wet dream, it’s just that people are so attached to their tribalism that voters aren’t paying attention. The MPs are, though, since we’re seeing so many cross over to be Liberals.

Oh, I’m still telling Carney to go fuck himself right to hell. He’s softer on trump than 10-ply toilet paper and most of the things he says correctly come a few days after his gut reaction to be a shit-heel. He’s slightly better about the US and Israel’s attacks but when they first started he promised to “unconditionally support” the US. Anything he says can’t really be agreed with because none of it is coming from a true moral highground. It’s hard agree with his words they carry no weight and are mostly lies.

Ok you’re missing the part where all the previous comments are the other guy desperately trying to act like there are no people involved. Please read the context and consider that when reading my responses.

You haven’t really given any sources at all for that being the extent of their power, and you also seem to have very little understanding of the fact that a group picked out by the guy who commands the military is not easily ignored. You also talk about the Ayatollah like it’s a pope position yet he’s the guy who keeps showing up to foreign affairs stuff.

Even in your own, un-sourced description you look kinda dumb.

Who runs the institutions, banks, and funds? Yes, they are stupid and short-sighted and greedy but ultimately that does not mean they get to hide behind a company. You talk about them having a pretty singular interest and then say it’s all averaged out, but the average between a pool of nearly the exact same opinions isn’t particularly important or nuanced.

Companies do not get opinions. If the people who run them want to share their voice they can vote like everyone else, and if they don’t like democracy they can drown themselves in their pools.

Shareholders are people, you dolt.

So…the very first page here talks about part of it but leaves out the Guardian Council thing and its influence.

https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/irans-presidential-election-process-2024-06-25/

The Reuters article shows more about the Guardian Council.

Since pretty much every single thing I’m finding is talking about it and showing real people and reporting on news about it, about you tell the class why you think it’s all fake?

Companies are led by people, and those people can have opinions. After that, fuck right the hell off. You’re delusional if you think company should be able to have opinions.

I’ll do it for the other guy.

Oof.

That just helps her point to all those people and lets her go “if I’m so bad, then how come…”.

Do not do this. Make content that tells her to go fuck herself. Be representation for others so that they can see that JKR and her incredibly mediocre books are not welcome in a world that cares about others.

Yes, it sounds funny on the face of it, but it’s ultimately just a terrible, bad, no good idea.

Woof. Deflect all you want, it doesn’t change that your country is a result of ineffective centrists allowing conservatives to get away with murder, if they aren’t doing it themselves. Harris was still going to use your tax money to kill innocent children, she just wasn’t going to post about it on Truth Social and you would be able to tell yourself that she was the best of two options, and now you don’t need to care anymore. This shit happened when Biden got in, and Harris was right there saying she wouldn’t do anything differently.

I know ya’ll have a hard time learning, but how obvious do things need to be for you to see how bad things are?

“You only get chaos followed by…”

Yup, complete moron. You don’t want stability, you want familiariaty. You would rather bathe in sewage instead of clean water because getting might make you a little chilly. If anything defines a centrist it’s their overwhelming cowardice.
