Is it really worth it?
I get being against the vaccines and refusing on principle but I’m also facing the reality that taking it and getting over it is the easiest path. I’m outside of Canada and to ever see my mom again my only real option is to take a vaccine which ever one it might be and suck it up. The risks are low enough that it’s less dangerous than most things I don’t think twice about doing anyway like riding my motorcycle.
Do they work? Probably but not at any rate to be significant
Will they kill me or fuck me up? Possibly but not as bad as going on an adventure while traveling in most tropical places.
If I was in your place I’d probably just suck it up and roll up my sleeves and say needs must.
Depends on your riding.
If you own a business in and live in Saint-Léonard—Saint-Michel for instance you might as well vote liberal regardless of your belief in the party. It is a safe liberal seat which has existed for 10 elections and has voted liberal 10 out of 10 times with a staggering majority. You are better off giving your maximum donation each year and voting for whoever the hell is the LPC. I would suggest setting a meeting to give the check directly to the MP in person. If they hold a pay for your plate dinner I suggest buying a plate and bringing the wife and dressing up and being as friendly as possible.
Ultimately pissing on the guy/girl gets you nothing. Greasing the wheel in this case will simply get you more direct benefit. I have applied for government grants for renovations in past and having an MP on side makes life about a million times easier and will more than pay for the donations in the long run. I've needed an MP to act on my behalf in regards to a dispute with Canada Customs regarding a provision related to safety gloves that were partially manufacture in Canada. The difference between the 2 designations would easily pay for a lifetime of donations to the crap party. I have also had an MP advise me on an accountant to use when applying for Research and Development tax credits which effectively let me increase salaries on my team by about 10%.
If I for instance lived in Battle River—Crowfoot I have no reason at all to ever give a penny to the Liberal Candidate. The chance of them winning and representing me is effectively 0. They can give me exactly nothing and I'm better off supporting the CPC candidate as they will win even if they stand on a stage with their dick out pretending they are a helicopter. When they are elected and not part of the party in power I can still get help from them on several things and at least 30% of the time they will even be part of the party in power.
If I live in a swing riding like for instance Kitchener—Conestoga there is value in me picking a favorite in each election based on which party I believe is going to win and taking my chances on picking right.
In none of these circumstances does it ever make sense for me to donate to the NDP, the Greens or the PPC. As the chance of them getting elected is low and their chance of being part of the party in power is exactly 0 my donation can't possibly purchase me any benefit.
My vote is inconsequential as nobody knows what it is in any case so I can't use it to my advantage but my donations are public and absolutely purchase me favour and benefits.
This is why the NDP and the Greens can't raise shit all nothing come election time. Idiots donate 20's businessmen donated the maximum and its good business to do so.
There is no circumstance I can see in Canada where voting PPC is in your benefit other than to pat yourself on the back regardless of what their platform is.
Yeah must say it is pretty annoying, I switched to only viewing the site with Developer Tools tuned on and removing the entire right hand side. It was a little funny for the first day but now it feels like everything after the title of a beaverton article where they are just beating a 2 second chuckle to death with stupid.
your going to be stuffed in the same gulag by voting PPC your conscience won't get you a better cup of shit to drink. In my riding it makes more sense to put up a LPC sign and give a token donation to them and possibly show up at a rally and introduce myself. The LPC candidate will win my riding, they will be the member of parliament, and when I need their help on applying for a federal tax relief program for my business them recognizing me has value.
The PPC offers me nothing. They don't offer me a clean conscience because right now they are in the say anything to get support category where none of the policies they suggest need to ever be implemented.
The PPC aren't a face of change. They are a party that can say anything they want because they will never have to live up to it. It is easy to be idealistic and to say whatever you want to get people riled up when you have no significant chance of winning more than a single riding.
66% of eligible people actually voted in Canada in the last election. Voter turnout is bordering on about %50 of the total population. Now I am a believer in not voting, if you are interested or if you have something better to do or if the elections in your riding is a forgone solution go to a bar and have a beer instead. To me not voting is equal to saying my neighbors can pick this time around.
Those who argue against ppc just come off as not understanding the bigger picture.
The thing is we do. The reason politicians are 'globalists' doesn't change. The reason they all act exactly the same once elected isn't by choice but just a factor of reality.
Why did Obama not create universal healthcare? Ultimately because to do so would bankrupt almost every single 401k and union pension fund.
Why do the PC's act the same as the Libs once elected and vise versa? Because ultimately the face the same issues and for the same reasons and can only change minor aspects of how things are implemented.
In my riding I have 3 choices. I can vote NDP and possibly steal a seat from the LPC, I can vote LPC or I can make the choice not to vote. Any other choice is effectively the same as not voting. Voting CPC, PPC or Green is 100% identical in effect as not voting.
So this comes down to making a point by voting for a party which nobody will ever know you voted for purely for the belief that you will feel better for doing it.... to me this is silly you might as well have skipped the effort and gone for a beer at the local bar.
The big picture is even if elected the nature of the political reality expected of any governing party doesn't change so only minor shifts are possible. The Greens would be able to do as much to stop climate change as the LPC or the CPC. The CPC needs to face the same budgetary constraints as the LPC and are stuck with the same unions running the show in a practical nature. The big picture is that if you live in a riding that hasn't swung its vote in the last 70 years your vote for the other party is purely for your personal feelings and going for a beer makes just as much sense.
No we don’t we just make fun of people voting PPC for being 1/3rd of the people who vote Green. It isn’t that we love the CPC it’s that the PPC is about as significant as the lesbian vote by the numbers.
The shit I took this morning got almost as many votes as all PPC candidates that weren’t the leader of the party.
Yes PayPal me 25$ plus 10$ shipping and handling and I will send you one. Pm me for PayPal address
This thread is nothing without the video.
To be fair last time I was in Canada and partying with some ladies of dubious merit out came the coke. Having been a pretty regular user for a number of years line after line and bottles of booze were a happy return moment. About an hour in and I got the cold sweats and then was basically on an opiate high. Clearly the coke was as laced as laced get and it being a solid year out of me using opiates or coke it was hitting me hard. I could see this shit getting people into real trouble.
I however opted for more booze and to motorboat some titties
first hit is free ladies!
In 2014 314,000 people in Canada bought Taylor Swift's 1989.
Yup more Canadians went into a store and actually bought her CD than voted for the PPC in the last election.

Keep reaching for those rainbows sailors
Did you know there are more people who speak Hindustani as a primary language in Canada than voted for the PPC....
Its a fact!
Thing is we know from posts on Omega that clearly it wasn't them who voted PPC. So which other group could it possibly be?
Well 1.7% of the Canadian population is L or G in the LGBTQ alphabet soup of acronyms. Well as none of the PPC voters had vaginas if we take the 19,000,000 or so men in Canada and we multiple by 1.7 we come up with about 325,000 ... assuming some of them were under 18 we bring this number down about 10% to account for this and poof we have the exact number of voters who voted PPC.
Yup keep reaching for those rainbows sailors one day you will have all the unicorns and my little ponies you have been hoping for in your wish books.
Yes and if you keep reaching for rainbows like a good little sailor one day unicorns and my little pony will give you what you desire most.
In the real world edgelords on Twitter don’t mean seats in the house of common and Bernier is further away from being PM as the leader of the greens
I support his right to choose and only ask that others support my right to choose.
I agree with you
I support each and every one of you making this choice yourself and fully understand people saying hells no
NDP - 2,903,722 -> Not even remotely close to winning and they don't need reservations at the local restaurant to house all their members of parliament
Green - 1,189,607 -> Can hold a meeting with all their members in a 2 seater car!
PPC - 294,092 -> 10% of the way to not even close to winning
Look I get it PPC supporters are into Unicorns and hope that one day My Little Pony will return (not that there is anything wrong with that) and I celebrate your right to live your lives how you choose. Keep reaching for those rainbows sailors.
End of the day the PPC can't even file its paperwork. They have the last choice of candidates and unlike the American system in Canada we have 338 mini elections to decide who is significant and who is insignificant. The PPC is a joke for internet edgelords who love their pet unicorns and believe that one day if they wish long and hard enough they will be real boys. The PPC electoral base is a rounding error in most ridings with only a single candidate beating 5% of the popular vote in their riding. You aren't going to win shit all nothing with 5% of the votes in ridings.
The PPC is not attracting mainstream voters they are at best attracting people the other parties are happy to be rid of.
While I personally defend each and every one of you saying no I personally will be getting mine. I've done coke off of a strippers ass before fucking her without a condom. I spent a good chunk of the 90's doing pills that may or may not have been the drugs I was trying to purchase smuggled into clubs in chicks bra's if I was lucky and most likely packed beside some dudes balls. I'd be a bit of a hypocrite at this point to start pretending I'm picky and don't take chances with the shit I consume.
There is a long history of countries requiring vaccinations to enter them I personally have been vaccinated for Yellow fever as well as meningitis (MenB) for business travel in past and had to provide proof of this. I fully expect that proof of COVID19 vaccinations will be required to enter most countries within a year. So I can suck it up take the needle and at least be able to travel or I can be idealistic over something that has a pretty stinkin low chance of actually doing anything positive or negative to me beyond making me feel like shit for a day or two.
This isn't a hill worth dying on for me. I support each and every one of you making this choice yourself and fully understand people saying hells no but for me a quick injection isn't a big deal.
To be fair most of them look and sound pretty gay to me.
that said lets suggest a more realistic story
He got drunk and killed his passenger in a car accident. To start his business he borrowed money from the wrong people. He decided he would go for a new start in Canada and figured he would enter and declare himself a refugee assuming his criminal past which he already served time for would be done and over when he found out it wasn't he decided to claim he was bi because the investigation would show he definitely wasn't gay. He pried at the ankle bracelet until it appeared to do damage to his skin and the bruises are self inflected. His hope was to lose the bracelet and then attempt to flee/hide.
The article is trying to avoid the real charges and reason why the accident lead to prison time and inadmissibility the most likely reason being a DUI (to protect him). The article is avoiding detailing his past business and partners (to protect him) which likely would cause question regarding his finances and likely a wife he left behind (to protect him). There is no reason to believe anyone in Jordan outside of his family and the government know he is arriving back and as such he faces no actual threat.
wonder which one has more money
End of the day all PPC supporters are envious of transitioning ... all they want is to transition into anything but 0 seat non party status with no hopes of ever being elected into something as successful as the Green Party.
You got beat by a woman who does the purple drank sizzrup
Keep reaching for those rainbows sailors one day your man might be all yours.
I'm not sure how this will work. They can go after the hosts but if the content is legal in the jurisdiction where it is hosted they have no leg to stand on.

Alright lets keep some perspective here.
Lazy BC teacher given 1 day suspension for using films completely unrelated to class content to avoid doing work.
The Hobbit and To Kill a Mocking Bird are both used later in school however they weren't part of anything they were teaching. This sounds more like a teacher with a hangover filling time by playing a movie.
I dig where you are coming from to me with the risks in one hand and the reality that you are going to be 2 steps from being a prisoner on the other I judged for me it was easier to suck it up and just take the shot.
The other option obviously is to get fake ID made for some homeless person with their picture on it and your name and details on it so you get the 'vaccine passport' in your name with you correct details on it and let te homeless person get the shot on your behalf.
