So you're willing to allow elections to be held between two massively corrupt entries forever on the basis that you don't want the wrong massively corrupt entity to win?

Gotta think long term bro - is it worth a minor short term win if it requires the CPC to continue going farther and farther left to appease the libs?

Choose wisely: vote for a party you dislike to try to stave off a party you like less, or vote your conscience and try to build something you actually DO like

This is how it always works, because usually a winner is declared before they even start opening special ballots.

I don't think it'll really be a factor, since it's kind of a pain in the ass to register for a mail-in ballot here, and the ballot has to actually be received at the elections Canada office (not just dropped in the mail) by election day.

Nooooooo you can't vote for an a party with actual principles, you have to vote for the party that's becoming exactly like the party you hate to keep the party you hate from winning!

tbh at this point there's not much point trying to save the CPC to stop the LPC. You're better off voting your conscience and trying to build up a new party that you actually like.

Exactly, look at the polls, it's not like the gain in PPC is a direct loss to the conservatives

If you really dig into the numbers, the high prices in Ontario have very little to do with green energy and are mostly a result of over a decade of ridiculous energy procurement contracts where they agreed to pay a guaranteed rate based on nameplate capacity whether or not the energy was needed. This was pervasive across both renewable and conventional production.

The result is that even if Ontarians use less electricity, they're still on the hook for the whole amount, which is why Ontario has continuously been over-producing electricity and dumping it over the border below production cost in a meager attempt to recoup part of what they are obligated to pay.

That's not what's being discussed though. This is talk about a "preloaded stimulus" i.e. "we're hoping people will spend the money they have saved and validate our overly optimistic projections about the economy"

They're not talking about a tax on savings, "pre-loaded stimulus" is the new buzzword to explain overly optimistic economic projections, by assuming people will spend anything they saved over the pandemic.

How is this allowed by the Charter of Rights and Freedoms?

...because people are allowed to spend money?

It's because the injected vaccine is much, much more expensive. The vaccine itself is about 14x the price of the oral version, then you also need the injection equipment and a trained person to administer it, all of which are non-trivial costs in this context - they've administered something like ten billion doses of vaccine.

The plan is that when the wild virus is eradicated (Africa has just been declared to have eradicated the virus in the wild) then they'll switch to the inactivated vaccine For continuing management. They've already switched from the trivalent formula to the bivalent formula after eliminating WPV2, which is a substantial decrease in the chance of vaccine-acquired infection.

Bitch about it all you want, but polio has been reduced by like 99% over the past 25 years because of immunization programs. Sometimes actually achieving outcomes in a practical way is more important than trying to be flawless and failing entirely.

6% of the cases only have "Covid-19" on the cause of death form, which likely means that those forms were not filled out thoroughly enough.

If someone gets COVID, which then develops into pneumonia, then dies of respiratory failure, all of those should be on the death certificate, but the root cause is the viral infection. "Respiratory failure" is not exactly a pre-existing condition.

They also tweeted this a few days before the scandal broke:

Boost in support for Liberals the biggest for a minority government in 60 years. Canadians excited to see exactly how they will squander it.

Then this:

TrudeauResignNOW is trending. Congrats to anyone who had "sketchy dealings with a charity" in the Liberal scandals pool.

Then this:

Would it make things easier if the Ethics Commissioner just joined PM Trudeau's security detail?

Then this:

Sources say the Conservative Party is considering recruiting Justin Trudeau because he is Justin Trudeau's greatest adversary.

This Twitter account just seems to be the dumping ground for jokes that didn't make it to air on an already-unfunny TV show.
