Here we go.
CBC link in case the Star one is behind a paywall:
I emailed my Green MP with concerns about the abortion response from May, and this is what his campaign manager replied:
And also regarding the Green candidate's comments likening their party's ideology to the CPC:
Now they don't remember LOL.
The Jeff Sessions defence.
How convenient! Can't they at least say they "have evolved on the matter"?
That just makes those candidates sound opportunistic.
The Liberals have it bad enough with being seen as shallow when it comes to their progressivism, but the backlash gets really heavy the more progressive or moralistic you are supposedly selling yourself as but then have dirt like this unearthed.
I really hope "Green Anxiety" does not become the equivalent of "Economic Anxiety" as an excuse to handwave social and other human rights issues, but it's looking suspicious.

Green candidate in Quebec says there should be secession as quickly as possible:
Could you explain the Tweet you linked? What candidate are you talking about? And this quote Stephen Maher is tweeting (which I'm not sure who it is from) translates to: "If there was a referendum question in Quebec, I would vote yes, obviously."
The battle to not finish in the last position between Singh and May is already hilariously exciting. How low are both going to go?
If you want a good laugh, in Beauce (Bernier's riding) the Rhinocéros party (a joke party) will run with a candidate named Maxime Bernier too hoping to sow chaos on the ballots.

His tweet is quoting another tweet. Showing up on my end.

Oh right! Sorry about that. Twitter recently changed the underlying functionality of their social widget, and my content blocker has not been updated. It seems to be currently blocking too much. I couldn't see the tweet he was quoting.

Hahahahaha
I can't fucking stop laughing
I can't fucking stop laughing
I don't suppose anyone could help an old fella out and roughly explain the jist there? I want to laugh too
There's a joke party in Maxime Bernier's riding that is fielding a candidate named Maxime Bernier.
Watch the Rhinos win a seat.
Love seeing the the Greens being the top of conversation.
Nantel is starting to grow on me. Greens are making this election exciting.
*Looks at the disaster that is Brexit*
Yeah no I prefer to stay in Canada thank you.
Speaking of Greens bringing back things we were done "debating":
EDIT: Noticed someone linked it in an earlier post.

Is there strat to drop all these winks and nods in the press only to have May "deny" their position? That's such a Kinsella move.
So he is indeed an extraterrestrial from outer space that is trying to get it's tentacle in our politics
CBC said:
The Green's appear to be getting a lot of use from that boiler plate statement early this election with these CBC articles.
I'm starting to think that CBC is working with the Greens. lol Those titles are just so perfect to draw in disenfranchised supporters and make people talk about and look closely at green.
Green, green, green, green, green, green, green, vert, vert, vert, VERT!
It's great to see this and the writ hasn't even dropped yet! lmao

I've been telling people for years that the Greens are a retrograde freak show aside from the environment
Glad it's getting some attention finally

It's a shame no one is really discussing the PBO's numbers on a 1% wealth tax.
Unfortunate that in the article I read Singh didn't say during the annoncement the NDP would use some of that toward environmental policies. Health is a good second choice though.

Post an article if you have it. I hadn't heard anything about the PBO weighing in on anything the NDP has proposed.
Awww I missed this. What did it say?
I really want the NDP to win or at least do better but I don't think a non-white person is going to be anywhere near the Prime Ministership in Canada for the foreseeable future and that is one of the reasons why they're doing worse than normal.
I've been trying to avoid posting too much in this thread but this week is just too much.
And it's only Tuesday.
Also: The Green's stating they won't whip an MP who's in favor of it is the point of contention most people in this thread have with the above news. While the LPC (or any of the major federal parties) should not be running any candidates who were PQ/CAQ/Bloc/literally any party advocating for any province to be sovereign, there is no chance that the LPC is going to allow an MP to publicly support Quebec sovereignty/another referendum while remaining an LPC MP, assuming they win that riding.

What a surprise that the Bloc are running a sovereignist.

To add context to the Nantel thing because no one seems to lol. The Liberals are no better as they are running Réjean Hébert in that riding and he's a former PQ Health Minister under Pauline Marois so that's another one for QC Independence. Bloc will be running Denis Trudel a former QC actor and militant for QC Independence. At the provincial level, that riding is Marie-Victorin and elected one of the few PQ MNA in the 2018 election (that went independant later on) so that riding is still heavily nationalist. Hence why they are all running the same kind of candidate

Finally caught up on this thread. Rhino trolls are humorous, shining a light on the fungus that is the Green Party is bizarre and unsettling.
Did I correctly read NDP could win as few as 7 seats?! We need that JEB! electoral college map with Trudeau instead. Except stupid Alberta of course.
