Fuck.
Well, this will be an incredibly stressful couple of weeks.
Hopefully he shrugs it off, that would hopefully make people relax a bit. Especially the lefties who have been led to believe he's in terrible shape with the world's worst habits by der lugenpresse for 4 years.
If he doesn't though, things get very bad fast. A lot of people may suspect that he was intentionally infected with a bad strain as a part of an assassination attempt ahead of their election. They'll want blood.
The States themselves would have all the causus belli in the world against China if they formally declared that COVID was a bioweapon. Pence could be launching nukes within 3 weeks should Trump not make it.
Even worse, the Qtards all believe that Trump is in the final phases of destroying a massive pedophile ring and that COVID is a hoax to distract the blinkered "normies." You should see what they're saying on twitter right now, many of them honestly believe that he doesn't even have it, he's just being taken to a military hospital to keep him safe for while the kill shot against the pedophilic, vampiric elites is finally executed. They think this is the plan coming to fruition, if Trump dies all of a sudden they will believe it was an assassination and I don't want to think about what that hoard of loonies would do in response.
Godspeed President Trump. Get well soon.
Please.
There is only one facial hairstyle that works with either a medical mask or a gas mask.
If every fucking OPC MPP who went to that goddamn wedding got the rona I would have shit myself laughing.
Just remember, as he calls the kids who didn't get to play senior sports in the spring, didn't get a prom, didn't get a graduation and didn't get a last summer before University reckless yahoos and scorns them for partying it up as new freshmen neither he, nor his MPPs could hold off on having a wedding with no masks and no social distancing.
Annoying the shit out of everyone, mostly.
Trudeau was smart enough to know the nation was in a mood and that being seen wasn't a great plan (or at least his handlers were smart enough.)
Ford has no idea, every time I see his fucking face threatening new lockdowns or calling people yahoo's I just want to vote the cunt out of office and I don't care about whomever replaces him. It's worse than Wynne, that's how galling he's been during this epidemic with his fucking daily announcements.
Calling his electorate yahoos for every little increase in numbers when he's broken guidelines 20 times, having Easter, Mother's Day, May 24, Canada Day, and even going to a massive indoor wedding a couple of weeks ago.
Fuck that guy and his fucking daily announcements.
This seems to be happening an awful lot these days.
Our refugee package is so fucking generous that news was bound to get around and our generosity is being abused.
What was the percent of border jumpers who claim they want asylum due to "being persecuted as gays?" 60ish%? Most of which arrived with their families?
This was always inevitable. New immigrants, or those who enjoyed the refugee program's benefits were guaranteed to figure out that their status as someone who has successfully made it into the country and that was living high on the hog could be exploited to scam hundreds of thousands of dollars from their former countrymen.
Our immigration, and refugee programs need a massive re-think. They're far too easy to exploit.
According to CTV News, who would nothing more than the government fucking up the internet and driving them back to CTV to get their news and entertain themselves.
CTV News hasn't done a single poll that's said "the majority of people support what the Liberals are talking about." No one wants political censorship online.
Except for the media.
It's the latest buzzword from the grievance studies folks. The problem with choosing a discipline in racial activism is that you have to find new ways to justify your entire existence and the trendy one at the moment is structural racism.
As far as I can tell, it differs from systemic racism in that it exclusively refers to government structures with the proposed remedy almost always being extreme federalism, wealth redistribution through taxation and with a lot of consultation with racial groups before any decisions are made.
I think we all can figure out whom is going to prove the racial input in any and all decisions if structural racism is to be eliminated.
In short, it's just a stupid academic trend from the worst people in academia. I look forward to the day when we can elect a government that will ignore these people.
It's only unlikely because Ford dropped the grassroots populism shit that appealed to the OPC members and went with what the party brass prefers.
He's always been in danger of having his back stabbed by Elliott. That convention was supposed to be a crowning, and he disrupted a chance for the Harris legacy to enjoy 12 years of Jim Flaherty's wife in charge. It was her turn.
The great thing about being in a conservative party in Canada is that you can ignore your grassroots, more so than any other party.
The party brass though, that can't be ignored. He'll enjoy another 8 years of fucking up the province before another party comes along and fucks up the province.
It would actually be a good idea if another conservative party broke out in Ontario right now. There's time to build and the problem with big tent conservatism is that it creates a party that lacks ideological purity.
The thing about the left is that it keeps the true crazies off the liberal parties. The environmental extremists are associated with the Greens and the socialists are associated with the NDP. The conservatives have all of their extremists united, being loud and turning people off while cloaked in their banner.
The OPC is never going to change and being leader isn't enough to effect it. Their party brass is too established, their funding structure is too entrenched and Ford just does as he's told.
The bet is that there's more votes in the middle and that their voters won't vote for any other party; especially when the province is in serious financial trouble.
The only way to make them veer right is to make them steal votes from a party that's right of them, and there's only one way to do that.
That would be my guess.
It's weird how as the reddit mods became more strict and more ideologically-driven they also got a lot worse at weeding out the obviously fake stories.
r/relationshipadvice is a nest of degenerate fetishists more than a place for people to actually seek relationship advice these days.
Not that anyone should ever seek relationship advice on the internet.
All you really need to know is that it's a hell of a lot easier to teach social justice than to understand the finer points of literature and walk kids through a difficult read.
The marking is a lot easier too. A teacher barely has to read an essay on BLM or feminism to assign a mark.
The real problem is that there's no nuance involved in social justice, which makes it fucking easy to teach. There's no need to engage in any critical thinking whatsoever or to teach it. It's a bunch of easily understandable points for the students to regurgitate, nothing more.
It isn't that teachers turned into activists, more that the quality of teacher has massively declined in public schools and the curriculum has changed along with it.
It's a shit sandwich anyway you slice it.
Horwath is completely fucking insane, DeLuca is going back to the McGuinty/Wynne legacy and Ford has gone flying leftwards once in office.
The unique thing about Ontario, and Canadian politics in general is that nothing ever really changes no matter which party gets into office.
The only real difference is "which party's cronies will you be enriching this time around?"
I'll take Ford because he's nominally anti-greenie bullshit (and those fucking wind farms are a sin) but Ontario elections are never fun.
Somehow I think that Wynne's cheesecake would have been worse.
Say what you will about Doug, personally I think he's bowed down to the party and has become the kind of OPC leader who ensured McGuinty and Wynne (who no one liked in the slightest) 15 years worth of uncontested elections, which allowed them to fuck up the province.
Eves? Scum. Tory? Scum. Hudak? Scum.
Ford? Shock candidate espousing populism and running on his brother's legacy of good governance.
He bowed down to the party once in power though. Scum.
The next Ontario election won't be pretty. Who do you like more? Ford, DeLuca or Horwath? Which one of them do you think is most fit to lead Canada's economic engine?
Ontario politics suck. As is tradition.
Well, that was something.
Just remember that Biden hasn't stuttered like that until about 6 months ago.
I've never seen anything like that in a debate. Biden just kept insulting the shit out of him, calling him a liar and a clown constantly.
The moderator kept it LaFlamme-tier as well, when demanded that Trump "disavow his white supremacist supporters."
(Trump did well to avoid that question, but the media will definitely pretend like he didn't disavow white supremacists tomorrow.)
What a shitshow. US elections 2020, the amount of demagoguery from the DNC was bad enough in 2016 but this was on another level.
They cancelled that due to "spiking COVID numbers."
My guess would be "open for business" Dougey Cheesecakes was trying to suck a little commie dick in a quiet fashion with the hope that he could get some investment into our economy (or more realistically our real estate market to stop the bubble from deflating) but got called out.
Fat Trudeau is a bit duplicitous, to say the least.
That's the trick, groceries are definitely going up so it seems plausible at first but once you start investigating you realize it's someone fucking around.
Never trust a anything you see on 4chan.
It's a demoralization thread that pops up any time Canadians start discussing anything interesting.
It's rumoured to be Daisy Analytics that are behind it but the game is to go to a fucking expensive store, buy something that's overpriced because it's a premium brand or something that's out-of-season, take a picture of the price then pretend that the price of groceries is (even more) ridiculous.
As we can see here with this honeycrisp apple, a premium fruit which is being purchased slightly before season from the organic aisle to make it seem like it's obscenely priced to people who are used to buying apples for $0.99 per lb or less at this time of year.
It's a trap designed to draw in people who live with their parents and don't do the grocery shopping in their town. The interesting thread dies because half the Canadian posters are now commenting on food prices.
You have to give it to whichever shilling firm does the "Canada is collapsing" threads because it's an effective tactic. Don't think it's anything other than a distraction though, if you ever see a thread like that it means something interesting has happened and that shills have been payed to distract people.
I'm with you, the amount of money that we pour into the civil service is insane and dealing with them is ridiculous.
The last time I was at an office I watched as every single one of the workers went on break while a large number of people were waiting. When they started slowly returning to a now jam-packed office they didn't snap to attention, they just kept going at their customary glacial pace.
That wouldn't be tolerated anywhere in private business, and they make a far better salary, benefits, retirement and they have better job security than workers doing equivalent jobs in the private sector.
The CERB transition to EI being torturous due to Services Canada workers was all but guaranteed.
We need a public service overhaul. It's ridiculous.
True.
The problem with the extreme left and the extreme right is that they're both ideologues and people get sick of their shit.
At some point the centrists say "enough" and that's when fascism breaks out.
Less than 20% of the people hold extreme political views yet they dominate politics because they vote together, and in high numbers.
At some point the silent majority gets sick of their shit.
Italian fascism is a great example of the centrists saying enough to the extremists and its example could be applied to Canada today.
It was opposed to the power of the government services union in an extreme way. So far as race goes, it linked the traditional peoples with the newcomers in a way that glorified the history, but at the same glorified the modernity and the future so long that all were united.
Whenever someone responds to "diversity is our strength" with "unity is our strength" that's the echoes of Italian fascism.
I fear the day that it comes to Canada, but if things continue at this rate then it's coming.
Dog-eater Barbie is pretty sensitive these days.
I'm going to need a "retarded dickhead" added to that for myself..
Nope, WWIII is uniquely horrifying.
It's against a people with a massive population who would prefer it if the rest of the world were to die.
I doubt this will be the only bioweapon attack. May the US glass that country.
We're really going to do this again, aren't we?
When will celebrities learn that their political opinions are not appreciated?
The last US election featured so many celebrities sucking Hillary's dick and it appears that neither the celebrities nor the DNC learned their lesson.
As long as a celebrity stays in character they're fine, but the second they start making political statements it feels like being lectured on the politics by the dumbest person you've ever met.
The Rock is an A- wrestler, D+ actor and D- CFL defensive tackle with a social media presence.
I'm fine with that but the second he gets political it reminds you that he certainly isn't the smartest person to grace this earth; as it does with every celebrity.
I don't get why any of them are wading in at peril to their brand. They have nothing to gain from getting political and a lot to lose.
It isn't good for the DNC either, when celebrities endorse someone it feels like they're saying "vote for us, we're the party these incredibly stupid people like."
This year is just ridiculous.
You have to love how he just trusted the Chinese, pledged our co-operation to helping them find a vaccine and pre-paid them for the entire fucking thing.
Totally ignoring China insulting our country publicly whenever possible, calling him a complete joke and how they might react when their princess didn't get her way in our courts (while awaiting extradition for fraud and trying to sell forbidden technology to Iran that could have been used in their nuclear program.)
So now that the Chinese have told us "thanks for the money, now fuck off" we're scrambling to find a new source.
Of course, it's worth noting that the Chinese are suspiciously coronavirus-free after dousing their cities in "disinfectant" and may not have even needed to develop the CanSino vaccine in the first place (they say the States have recently uncovered an inhalable vaccine, I wonder if that has anything to do with that?)
So now we're at least pre-buying the vaccine from our motherland who we can trust, but the problem is that vaccine trial was halted due to hideous side-effects.
Meanwhile, it looks like the States, our closest neighbour is going to crack the nut and soon, too.
This pandemic has been mismanaged from the start.
Also, fuck China.
You have to love how Trudeau sucked the UN's dick with that speech when he's been publicly humiliated by them multiple times.
The UN loves our money, it fucking loves it but it's shown nothing but contempt to Trudeau yet he keeps crawling back for more.
Sometimes I think he likes humiliation more than Foucault himself.
Did he grow up in a household where he was discarded by a mentally ill drug-addict mother then get sent to live with a distant father or something?
It's like he confuses distaste with love. No wonder he still feels like he has the right to govern.
I didn't need to know all of these people's political opinions, on their verified accounts.
I hate more and more celebrities and business people every time I go on that cesspool of a site.
I even hate John fucking Cleese these days. How the fuck did that even happen?
Fuck twitter. It's made half the world nasty.
