I don't even have words for this. Pretty sure this is illegal: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/anti-carbon-tax-gas-pump-stickers-ontario-1.5170622
Good, remind people that Conservative parties are shit for the next election. Remind people about Doug Ford when people enter the polls.
lol jesus
Honestly it was pretty remarkable to me that Peschisolido managed to get nominated in the first place. I guess no one was paying much attention.

That's really cryptic. Is there any reason to be debarred other than you fucked up and broke a law or at least some kind of ethics rule?
The staff turnover at The Rebel is something else. I guess that's expected when the work environment is made up entirely of sociopaths.
I think Sheila deserves a promotion for sticking around for that long. Then again, it's that or going back to (only) being a crazy
Gross. How is this legal? Why do we allow foreign billionaires to fund politician.
Which parties in Canada benefit from it the most? Which parties in Canada have ever formed government federally? The answer you seek is mired in this question.
All the Cons have is hatred. They are all horrible people, and that includes every single person who votes for them.
I was wondering when some foreign shitlord billionaire would be connected to this surge of right wing racism in Canada.
Par for the course for these assholes.
Decorum is all but done in politics.
Edit:
Everyone's favorite CPC cretin:
Oh look there's talk of the election and votes being rigged.
Right wing party says elections are rigged, news at 11.

Sorry but you can't make fun of Trump's speech patterns and then give Trudeau a pass here. He fucking fumbled that hard. All he had to say was he couldn't remember the word for what the reusable bottles were made of or say it in French if he could remember that but not the English translation. Instead he looked flustered like he was caught in a lie over actually using them and sounded like an idiot.
<insert various pics of Trudeau with single use plastic water bottles here>
Besides everything else, they must know that the danger with playing this game is that there are probably hundreds of hours of Scheer out there as well. lol
Who made fun of Trump's speech patterns? Trump has a speech pattern to make fun of?
LOL. This. This is why i don't mock people's speech, I'm can be easily labelled with my idiosyncrasies.
Where is Chretien energy when you need it to capitalize and tyurn tables on a fumble lol. They tried mocking Chretien's facial paralysis from Bell's Palsy and it backlashed hard.

Though I must admit these are different times now, so who knows what lowbrow attempts are currently acceptable in Canadians' minds.

Its only a danger if you have opponents who are willing to use it against you. Our Left doesn't really do that and would be actively punished if they did. So they know they are 100% safe.
That's the tragedy. It's targeted towards the base.
this will not come up for questioning over the "positive" politics the CPC claims to be participating in.
Do it do it do it
Previously Morneau demurred from supporting universal healthcare, but this is a pretty clear statement from the experts that Universal Pharmacare is the right way forward. Maybe he'll change his tune? I hope so!
Of course we saw that the recommendation from experts brought in by the Federal Government to consult on electoral reform was ignored, so no sure thing.

This was actually the other reason that CoV put the breaks on the straw ban because Bubble Tea is very common and popular and businesses were like wtf there's no alternative.
I'm sure there are cardboard straw alternatives for bubble tea... If not, someone will fill that niche and make $$$$
tapioca. but it uses bigger straws to slurp them up.
I'm just trolling, i dont care about bubble tea. I'm sure they can figure something out.
Yeah someone has to invent a new straw, because I guess the alternatives are pretty lousy.
Here's some articles that will give you more than you ever thought you needed to read about this issue lmao

Oh man, I don't know how I missed this. I think they're just paving the way to throw this accusation if they lose. We weren't able to see how far they would take this in the US. It would be interesting to see how this would play out here.
Throw it on the stack with the hundreds of other reports that say we needed to fix the gaps in our healthcare system years ago.
I'm sure the Liberals will get right on it this time. And I'm certain that if they are asked nicely the Conservative Premiers are going to play nice and immediately begin implementing the plan.
It's okay, but I'd hardly call it a fad. It's a religion in some circles.
I think it will be a trainwreck. They'll cause a shitstorm if they lose. They're seeding the seeds for distrust of our elections. Normally government should everything possible to ensure integrity but what do you expect from the Robocall Party ?
And if they win you can expect they'll make voting as difficult as possible.
It's amazing just how GOP North they've become.
Or people will treat it as an attempt to buy votes for the election.
It's election season man!
Though I wouldn't be surprised if he uses the report as a reason to go forward on this. Now if only they'd continue the UBI study Ontario did.
Ignoring my sarcasm earlier. They have said over the past couple years that they were looking into actually acting on the recommendation of this subcommittee. The real question though has always been to what extent. It would be so incredibly easy for them to pull an Ontario Liberals and start attaching qualifiers to it to keep costs down. Basically having enough to say it exists, but not going far enough with it to the point that it is cumbersome or that people can't get access to their meds.
Because remember. When the OLP did it, they put age qualifiers, restricted the number of drugs available and then made the process to get exemption for coverage or to use your own private plan so complex and time consuming that people were forced off drugs they and their doctors knew worked onto generics that didn't work, just so they could build up more of a paper trail to go back to the ministry so people could get back on their meds.
And that's the main worry. Because that was only with people 25 and under. Imagine the whole population being like that. It'd basically kill Pharmacare from a social policy perspective
The thing with that, most people age 25 and up in Ontario are employed and has pharmacare of some kind.
the compromise was NDP: everyone is covered but only cover 400 drugs. Liberal; age restrictions but covers 2500 drugs. So pick your poison. Not everyone was happy with either. I may have gotten the numbers wrong but that was my impression.
I wouldn't be surprised if the federal model followed the OLP model unless they were will to find new sources of revenue (taxes).
Yep devil in the details.
Will it be be genuine universal pharmacare similar to the rest of the healthcare system, or is it gonna be a means testing system that keeps in place the system of employer based health insurance, but merely extends low income coverage?

Who is actually in charge of the Ontario government? Yikes
I find it hard to believe it's not Dean French:
Also Trudeau just needs to read from this article every day during the campaign:
If Scheer gets away with this, it's on the Liberals.
Nope, you remembered the compromises on both parties correctly. Neither plan was great. The idea compromise would have been the 2500+ drugs from the Liberal Plan, but the coverage for everybody of the NDP Plan.
Which granted, that would cost a lot. But then they could add in things like requiring the Pharmacies to bill Private Plans first (knowing full well that they'll drop coverage for the stuff the government choses to cover), with the remainder being covered by the Government. Mixed in with hardline bulk price purchasing to ensure that the country as a whole is negotiating with the power of all 35M+ Residents. Then we mix all of that up with stuff to encourage more generics, and liberalizing trade with New Zealand which has a thriving generics market.
Either way. Devil is in the details. They either do it right, or they do it wrong and people bitch to the Conservatives who will be all too happy to "fix the problem"

We could have had it. We could have had it but the people were afraid of a ghost of a time long past.
