They aren't lying less, why they're doing is obfuscating the truth.
The wealthiest 1% control a quarter of the money, but 99.9% of them are just as fucked as everyone else.
The real answer is that .01% of the country controls a fifth of the money and those people keep their wealth out of the reach of Canadian taxes.
I know what the Liberal government's idea of "going after our richest" means. It means a disgusting income tax rate for anyone making over $200,000.
Do you think the McCain's or the Weston's were affect by that move?
The government is just trying to present another tax increase that will hit a lot more people than they're pretending. Again.

This campaign is definitely getting spicy from the Trump side.
You have to give it to the democrats though, I've never seen an election campaign fuck up so badly in my life.
All they had to do was give Tulsi a fair shot, then ride that wave but instead they took the "safe" (but slimy) path.
Instead they decided that the key to the win was to go was to stick to their after-election plan of milquetoast statesman backed up by diversity woman and then stuck to it no matter what happened, alzheimer's be damned.
It's just a shit show.

Fuck that's great.

Those have been up since March.
I'm fine with it. People who tell jokes to cashiers deserve hemp.
Exactly how many times do they have to fake a laugh at a dickhole holding a sixer of Corona saying that he's got the corona fever or whatever, while they're working an essential job in the middle of a pandemic, which requires them to have contact with basically every person in their area?
They were banging fucking pots and pans in my area and yelling their heads off every fucking day at 7:00 in support of nurses and care home workers but we all know who were the real heroes of the lockdown.
The least we could do is enact a policy so they don't get annoyed by fucking assholes cracking jokes to the cashier while there's a 200 meter-long line to get in outside the fucking store.

I don't think skilled professionals want the job, especially not under Trudy.
Their options are either continue doing their life's work for a handsome salary or get into government where they'll be surrounded by slimeballs, have to spend an awful lot of time with sub 90 IQ journalists, and on top of that they have to be an MP which means dealing with constituents (and for the most part, the constituents they deal with will be the most unpleasant, stupid, and insane people in their riding.)
On top of all that, they have to be a yes-man to the most privileged man in Canada, a total fuck-up who is only in his positions because he's a part of a political legacy dating back to the most perfidious traitor in the history of Canada?
I have no illusions as to why the government doesn't attract the best in this nation, I have no illusions about that at all.

They implemented a system to just give out thousands of dollars to anyone who applied.
Of course the junkies were going to scam the system and overdose like crazy. That goes without saying.
I'm just amazed at the response from our government. "Why don't we just say fuck it and set up safe injection sites with a safe supply of free drugs?"
As we all know from pot legalization, that just means the government is going to make really shitty heroin available to a population of junkies who have gotten to love fentanyl-laced heroin, because it's significantly stronger.
Which means that they'll just use government heroin to tide themselves over when they're sick rather than evaluating their life and going to rehab.
Great plan.
As an aside I'm amazed that the health units still think that it's people doing crystal meth that's been laced with fentanyl that's causing those overdoses. I once got in an argument with some dick on reddit who worked in a health unit and was assuring me that no natives were injecting speedballs of fentanyl and crystal meth when I'd seen it with my own eyes.
No one laces crystal meth with fentanyl. Crystal meth is dirt cheap, plentiful and mixing in a downer would make it shittier, not better.
However, the practice of mixing a little coke into a shot to keep from nodding out (causing junkies to overdose once the coke left their system 20 minutes later) has been supplanted by mixing a little meth into a shot which lasts even longer than the heroin high, keeps it active and makes the user feel functional and aggressive.
It is a fucking dangerous mix, and a guaranteed recipe for overdoses.
When I look a Hadju's record I note that her most significant accomplishment is working in a drug public health unit in Thunder Bay and while she's lauded for her efforts there, the opioid problem got far worse. That's how poor our government performs when it comes to drugs.
The public health units still haven't figured out that they've got a nightmare on their hands and they don't understand a thing about the problem that they're paid good money to tackle.
No wonder there's so many fucking junkies these days.

Of course not, they would never implement UBI.
What they'll do is promise it in a throne speech that will be shot down, then promise it in an election.
When the time comes to actually do it, they'll have 8 fucking committees to examine the issue and they'll come back with the recommendation that it isn't feasible and that the majority of Canadians are opposed after burning 10 or 20 millionish in salarys, hotels, chartered jets and dinners.
As is tradition.
I'm always amused when people take the government at its word. If the government told the truth then we'd vote for our senators, have proportional representation in the house, there would be no free trade with the States, we wouldn't have GST, the immigration rate would be sane, housing would be affordable, pot entrepreneurship would be possible, beer and darts would be a quarter of the price, there would be no 30 zones and no speed camera, we'd have affordable childcare, better support for seniors and people with disabilities, ample public housing and a fantastic infrastructure just to start.
Our government almost never tells the truth, and if you believe that they'll do something just because they hint at it then you're either a 15 year old kid or deaf and blind.
UBI will never happen.

Was it weird marrying a 55-year old cabinet minister when you were 17? Were you grossed out by his wrinkly old nuts?
Age of consent laws today would make your first marriage illegal. Did you know what you were getting yourself into? Would you describe yourself as having been groomed?
How are the rolling stones in person? Which one has the biggest dick?
What was studio 54 like back in the day?
Which drug did you prefer? Cocaine or heroin?
Do you feel a bit bad for pitching yourself as a mental health expert when you have no training in the field? Do you think that every loony in the asylum is also a mental health expert? If so, how much would they deserve in speaking fees?
By selling your body, is that what the Kielburgers required to put you on stage at WE days? Was the quid pro quo not enough to get you onstage?
Thank you so much for doing this Mags, I have so many questions for you.

Guaranteed it's the Sri Lankans.
They're a good people but they don't fuck around, and they have a real problem with the "Brampton demographic."

Now this is getting interesting.
I was always wondering when this would happen in Toronto and apparently the answer is now.
I'm not sure how many of you are familiar with that neighbourhood but its absolutely terrible, it's where Toronto stores its poorest immigrants and the few mentally ill who were able to get government housing.
It's always been a hotbed of murder, gang shit and violence but like the rest of Toronto, in recent years it's been undergoing a rapid demographic shift.
That's two brown, Indian-looking people murdered in the same way in the space of a week by someone who is described at 5'6" 130.
Or in other words, it isn't a white man who is going after them. Not that there's any white people who live there.
The likely culprits are the Tamils, Filipinos, or Somalis.
My money would be on the Tamils, they harbour more extremists than you'd think and I could see why they might resent being pushed out of their neighbourhood by a rapidly encroaching Brampton.
I'll be very interested to hear about this guy and his motivations when they catch him.

I can honestly say that when I look back on my school days, I was truly inspired by maybe 5 of my teachers and the rest of them made no difference whatsoever on my life. If anything, they made it worse.
That numbers probably higher than everyone else because 4 of them were from junior high when I was in a gifted school so the teachers were far better and far more sympathetic.
The only saving grace of the decline of the educational system is that it's impossible to indoctrinate if your source sucks. The majority of kids won't be indoctrinated by the shitty teachers because they don't respect them.
A kid will have a lot of teachers, but very few teachers that impact its life.
That's why I don't worry to much about the indoctrination in public schools. The good teachers are the important ones and they aren't concerned with that shit.

This government needs to fall immediately.
As Diefenbaker said, "I am a Canadian, free to speak without fear, free to worship in my own way, free to stand for what I think is right and to oppose what I think is wrong."
We have the right to do what we want on the internet.
I'm always shocked that in this disgustingly incompetent cabinet that was chosen based on gender and race rather than talent, it's the environmental terrorist white man who is the worst by a significant margin.
McKenna is a mess who can't account for billions of dollars in spending, Hadju is an unqualified feminist who has managed the corona virus about as well as she managed the opioid epidemic in Thunder Bay, I'm not sure Murray even knows how to use a computer, Hussein hates Canada and does his best to hurt it, and I'm pretty sure that Qualtrough, Chagger, Tassi, Bains, and most of all O'Regan are literally retarded.
None of them are the worst and most dangerous member of this shit-show of a cabinet. That dishonour belongs to Guilbeault.
This government needs to go, and I will gladly vote in the middle of the second wave to put a stop to it.

MEC will always make me a bit sad but they didn't keep up with the times, and they had no idea how to deal with a rapidly changing Canada; that diversity bullshit was just their last, desperate gasp.
I remember taking the streetcar to MEC as a kid, I loved just going in that store and browsing. Burning my flyer money on camping shit and bike components, it was fucking heaven.
MEC's problem was they got more expensive while their customers were getting poorer and having to live with less-and-less storage for more-and-more money.
Crappy Tire fucked them over as well, by increasing the quality of the Woods brand which bled off sales from a company that was becoming disconnected with their members. Atmosphere didn't help either.
So squeezed out of the market, what did they do? Did they try to fit the needs of their members better? Of course not, they looked at all of the rich diversity coming into the country and reached out to them instead.
Of course it didn't work. It was never going to work, all they ended up doing was insulting their members and ignoring the idea of bringing in products that they'd purchase.
Pour one out for MEC. A proud Canadian company done in by out-of-touch executives, rapidly-changing cities and rapidly-changing demographics.
Typical.

Yeah, but don't think that pedophiles won't be watching that movie for the express purposes of jacking off and that they won't view the movie through a different lens entirely.
It's still a very dangerous movie, no matter what the message. I can name about 20 movies that are banned in this country for far less.

No worries!
The state of our parties is just sickening. It's all the same thing but with different leaders in charge.
I don't have high hopes for O'Toole, he was the best option in their last debate by a significant margin but he makes the same mistake as everyone else and assumes that all of the votes are left-of-centre so he's moving there at an alarming pace (which isn't surprising looking at his track record.)
The party that has won every election since I was born is the "I don't like any choices so I'm not even bothering" party. That won't change in this election.
It isn't who is the best leader, it's who motivates their base and the CPC has been shit at motivating their base in recent years.

So close, eh?
I wonder what would have happened if he'd ignored the CPC brass and threw his hat in the ring against Scheer and Bernier?
He probably could have taken that leadership convention.
Instead, the party fucked over Bernier and Lewis screwed MacKay out of the crowning simply by running on populism, despite being utterly unfit to be leader of the party.
MacKay could have actually been PM right now. He would have had no problem dispatching Trudeau and Singh in the debates, in an election where Canada was looking for change but instead he had to get strategic and decide to try to be the leader once Trudeau had been whittled down to a minority.
Let me put it this way, do you think that Trudeau would have carried the Maritimes had MacKay been in play in the last election?
That would have been enough. He could have been our PM and I'd say he'd have done a much better job of handling the rona than Trudeau.
He could have been a great. He could have had hordes of entitled kids ripping down his statues a hundred years from now.
Has there been a politician in the history of Canada who has been cucked more times, in a very public manner than Peter MacKay?
He was the most promising conservative after Mulroney and Campbell fucked the party and he made some cunning moves early on, making a bunch of Alliance MPs join him and winning a convention.
Ever since then it's just been MacKay getting fucked up the ass. First Harper viciously cucked him because he wanted the conservative name for his party. Then he was crowned Canada's hottest politician, then he was in Canada's hottest relationship when he got with Belinda Stronach only to be cucked again.
Then he cucks up his chance to be PM by listening to strategists and thinking that Trudeau's majority won't be defeated in the next election. Then he got cucked by Lewis (disingenuously) embracing populism and O'Toole being willing to say anything to win.
If he ever gets his statue, it will be of him with his pants down and grabbing his ankles.
We can all go throw bird seed that's been laced with laxatives around it so it will be properly decorated in a way that's indicative of his political career.
What a waste.

Here's the problem with that film. It's a trap designed to make the right-wing look like reactionary assholes.
This is Obama-era Netflix. Every show is propaganda and everything that causes outrage is a trap.
I haven't seen it and I probably won't but from looking at the plot summaries it appears to be about a young girl who is disenchanted with how Islam treats women after her father decides to immigrate-in a second wife.
That idea that women are worthless apart from being sex objects causes her to embrace the extremes of Western sexuality, and the debased immorality that goes along with it.
People are disgusted by her behaviour, and the cuties performance itself making her realize how wrong she was, confront her mother about how she's being treated and discards both her slut outfit and Islamic dress, throws on normal clothes and decides to just be a normal, 11-year old girl.
That's why it won a Sundance Award, it's actually a pretty sweet, albeit shocking story and it's a condemnation of Islam's attitudes towards women.
Here's where Obama-Netflix comes in, though. The artwork and promotional material that Obama-Netflix presented was not the original promotional materials that film used, they took the most lascivious and pedophilic scenes from the film and used them instead.
So the outrage machine went nuts, the youtubers went wild on content, some politicians even got sucked in and the Qtards lost their fucking minds. Now the media is swooping in to point out that the movie is basically consistent with rational people's beliefs make them all look stupid while gently reminding everyone who loves to censor the media even more than the left.
This this US Election 2020. If a source of outrage comes from the media, it's a trap designed to divide and demoralize.

Trump getting baited into this one might fuck him if Biden's handlers are smart enough to see it.
The DNC path to victory is to portray Biden as a good man, a long-time legislator who was taken out at the last moment not for his shitty record but for suffering a sad and tragic disease, then throwing in Harris and diversity-ing her to a shock win against a man who was ruthless with an obviously sick person.
A 4-hour Joe Rogan podcast debate gives them just that opportunity. There is no way Biden could make it through such an affair and there is no way Trump could resist attacking him.
If Trump were to be derisive, or callous it could be over for him. Especially if Joe Rogan disapproved of his behaviour at multiple moments, in clips that could be spread all over the internet,
The game with Biden is to trick Trump into being vicious with a man who will be (wrongly) portrayed as a statesman whose mind is failing then throw in the law and order (Indian who they will be portraying as a) black woman.
Something fucky has been going on with Joe Rogan since the Spotify contract was signed. Trump would be well-advised to stay away.

Her name, dude. His challenger will be changing shortly.

The DNC's entire "let's empower Antifa and pretend their unrest is peaceful hippie protesting just like the summer of love" has really gotten out of control.
No matter how badly they try to keep a lid on it, it's spiraled to the point where they can't reign it in.
I'm not sure what they were thinking. The groups are progressive so I'm sure the left thought they could use them but empowering junkies, weirdos, the homeless, and the ghetto to cause trouble and commit violence is not something controllable.
Now they're reacting to their riots being shut down by trying to burn down the wilderness, because it hurts areas that traditionally vote Republican.
I can understand why this is being censored so ruthlessly, this kind of shit could easily lead to people being executed en masse.
This US election is so fucked.

Let's say you go back to 1927 and shoot Hitler.
That means that the Communist Party wins in 1928. Which means the Molotov-Ribentroff pact still happens, Poland is still partitioned and conquered, Britain is still drawn into war with them, the confiscation of the "rootless cosmopolitans'" wealth still happens and they end up in gulags rather than concentration camps.
The only way that anything actually changes is that there's no Eastern Front, and the French communists conduct guerrilla warfare against their own troops rather than the Germans.
The war would probably have been even bloodier, but France, Italy, and some Austro-Hungarian countries would be on the allies' side so the outcome would be the same apart from Lend-Lease not strengthening the Soviets to the point where they're able to threaten the world for 50 years. Also, the Japanese would have destroyed China completely.
I'm actually not sure whether that would have been a good thing or not.

Massive loss for the country.
The way that woman wielded a statue was outstanding.

UBI as a concept, is only being floated in the next Throne Speech to fuckover Jughead in the debates.
I'm looking forward to seeing what poison is so offensive that the NDP cause this government to fall, just so Justin can pin Jughead on the "but you voted against a bill that would have provided UBI" point once the election is on.
Justin will never give the country UBI, he'll certainly use the concept though and should he ever have to implement it he'll shy away.
UBI actually is financially feasible because of how many public service positions it eliminates. Giving a salary of $24,000 a year ($19,200 after taxes) to every Canadian actually works because public sector salaries are so inflated that we'd save billions by eliminating all of the agencies that prop up the massive amounts of useless workers all of our social programs require.
A welfare recipient requires a caseworker, a job trainer, an interview trainer, a social worker for the kids, people to administrate subsidized transit, people to administrate subsidized housing, plus all of the upper-level bureaucracy.
All of that could be eliminated, and those salaries are massive.
Which is precisely why Trudeau would never actually implement UI. Too many upper-middle class tax dollars would be gone. Canada is a Ponzi scheme.
As I say, this Throne Speech will be interesting.

Lol, wait until you find out just how much those people love to deep-fry.
You're going to be scraping up so much grease. All surfaces, an inch-thick on top of the kitchen cabinets, fucking everywhere.
Hope you're not an anti-masker because you'll definitely want a mask for the clean-up.
Never rent to people who would be homeless without you, lol.

Even when my old ass was in University I heard a few Indians say some things to profs about how much Canada promotes immigrating to Canada in that country.
They make it sound like a paradise with infinite economic opportunities.
The immigration industry in this country is shocking and it used to be so good.
My parents came here via the immigration industry. They heard about a need, took some courses, moved into an immigration-company rented apartment building and did very well for themselves.
What happened to that? Our country's immigration policy went from "let's entice people from all over the UK who are sick of the class system and are willing to freeze their dicks off for a chance to succeed" to "let's trick half the 3rd world into saving up, coming here, living terribly, and blowing their life savings with the honest ones leaving out of failure and the dishonest ones staying in a country where they can't work legally."
No wonder we're seeing gangs.
It's an utter disgrace and I don't see the point. To prop up useless college programs that don't lead to jobs for even the Canadians who take them? To keep the kind of slumlord who would cram 20 people into a 2 bedroom house and charge them all $400 a month for the privilege in business?
It's predatory and it needs to stop.
(Also, fuck John McCallum. Fucking traitor.)
