Coffee Talk V: The Final Battle

[Bloody Brian Burke]

I don't know what's going on with the NDP - Meanwhile, I'm more concerned about the PPC...

There could be plenty of reasons why so many people are drawn to the People’s Party. They have become resentful and untrusting over the loss of manufacturing jobs. They are stressed by the pandemic. Some of them resent the increasing number of non-European immigrants. This is racist, but it is how they feel. And they enjoy the self-empowerment that comes from rejecting authority.

Of course, if they siphon off some votes from the Toole man, that's not terrible.

If it weren't for anti-mask/vax hysteria they'd be as irrelevant as they were 2 years ago. They were steady around 3% for most of the last campaign poll-wise and they're around 6% right now and I think it's entirely attributable to that. If we ever actually move past the pandemic their support fades into sub-Green Party territory again (if they even survive - they basically need Bernier to win the Beauce back to justify their existence this time).

I wish he didn't use the hospital as a retort because that was probably the asshole's next destination anyway (either to protest or get hooked up to a ventilator) but him getting criticized for this is fucking dumb, particularly from Jagmeet.

If anyone feels like criticizing Trudeau for anything today, this is like the 4th indoor rally he's held with crowds exceeding provincial regulations (Ontario's current status is half capacity of any room), few in the crowd wearing masks and to boot he dragged 87 year old Jean Chretien and 100 year old Hazel McCallion to the event.

Yeah, this is not a good look - You either reduce room capacity or get people to wear masks. Somebody has dropped the ball here.

If you mean medicine ball on his own foot, then yeah.

Particularly when provinces are all trying to roll out vaccine cards and control transmission, his response of "well 80% of people are vaccinated so it's okay" doesn't really help anybody trying to send a message right now. If this is the leadership you're getting why would you think any of the rules are worth a damn?

First Chretien, now Mulroney (Dash’s favourite PM). GST forever?

The only reason I am not being selected to the Hockey Hall Of Fame next year is because of voting shenanigans.

They are putting the fences back up around the Capitol building. There is a planned gathering in support of the Jan 6th insurrectionists on Saturday.

I don't think these domestic terrorists will be able to take the Capitol police by surprise this time.

Sorry. Essentially it details how Elder accidentally released the website saying he had found irregularities in the election the day before polls opened and started sqauking about how he was being cheated. And how that's a republican strategery across the country.

Well, contrary to popular belief, I wasn't alive when the Constitution was drafted, but I don't recall anything about free unrestricted air travel. Of course, who can forget this gem from around that same time...
