Canada Federal election 2021

Yeah I remember when Gilles Duceppe (I think) said an independent Quebec would still want to use the Canadian dollar and thus have their economy continue to be propped up by Canadian government policy and the Bank of Canada's monetary policy. It's fucking unreal and delusional.

He wasn't the only one who think of that theory, Jacques Parizeau thought of the same thing as well.

Isn’t this basically a kind of imperialism? Sounds like a chad move on Quebec’s part had they been able to pull it off.

The sad thing is they could actually do this. Ecuador for example adopted the American dollar as their national currency; any country is free to use a foreign currency as their own, they just lack any say in setting that currency's monetary policy. The delusional thinking on Quebec's part is that the gibs would keep flowing and they would still retain influence over policy - because post-independence neither would happen, period.

Well I just got the jab. If I die before the election is done, please honor my dying wish and shit on Trudeau's grave once he dies too.

Don't worry, I still have to fulfill my grandfather's dying wish of pissing on Trudeau Senior's grave, I'm sure I can fit in time to give Junior's some love too 😄
 
The conservatives now are too far to the right whereas they were once a more centrist party just ten fucking years ago. The liberals today are neolibs with a ''screw the middle class'' platform. NDP has become totally irrelevant with a an unkempt, hairy Sikh as their representative and the other parties are just background noise.

Our politics were much more stable a decade ago because we had a stable middle class. All it took a decade to erode the middle class with mass immigration and foreign money laundering. Both of these things reduced wages and made real estate unaffordable to all but the rich. Politics have become more unstable because of this and now you see retard parties being created like the ''peoples party of Canada'' because people have honestly lost their fucking minds. Maxime when in Harper's cabinet behaved himself now he's acting like a clown and egging on ignorant, facebook obsessed covid denying anglophones to protest in front of hospitals.

It's a true tragedy what this country has turned into.

PC's have gone far to the right. Harper was much more centrist on social issues and didn't desire to take a wrecking ball to public services in the way that PC's today . PC's have tried to Americanize themselves in recent times and liberals are running with this ''woke'' shit (again from the U.S) despite Canada not even having the black demographic for that to even make sense.

Watch the 2011 Canadian election debate and you will see what I mean. Compare that to the recent debates. It's mind boggling.

Canadians Should Be Able To Vote "None Of The Above" | ZeroHedge

ZeroHedge - On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero

Authored by Lee Friday via The Mises Institute,

Canadians are heading to the polls on September 20, and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s questionable ethics are under a microscope, with Chris Selley of the National Post suggesting that Canadians “could do a lot worse than choosing whichever leader they judge the most eager and likely to govern with integrity.”

Okay, I’ll bite. Let’s assess the eagerness and integrity of the leaders of the three main political parties:

  • Justin Trudeau – Liberal Party
  • Erin O’Toole – Conservative Party (farther to the left than US Democrats)
  • Jagmeet Singh – New Democratic Party
There is no doubt that all three of them are very eager to govern, so eagerness is not an issue.



But What About Integrity?​

A person of integrity does not break promises, but Trudeau has broken many promises.

A person of integrity is not a hypocrite, but Singh violates covid protocols that he professes to support. He also criticized Trudeau for calling an election during a pandemic, yet he enthusiastically campaigned for his NDP colleagues when they called an election in British Columbia last fall.

A person of integrity does not change his policies when it is politically expedient to do so. But O’Toole has reversed himself on gun control, as well as access to abortion and MAID (medical assistance in dying).

All three candidates are guilty of other transgressions, too numerous to list.

Selley writes “O’Toole insists he has lived his life as a principled man, and would hold himself to those same principles as prime minister.” However, a principle, by definition, is not open to compromise, and Selley ignores the flipflops of his favoured candidate. Thus, Selley himself lacks the integrity he is seeking to promote.

Is Political Integrity Even Possible?​

The lack of political integrity is a standard feature of democracy, not a flaw. This is because politicians are not, in any meaningful way, held accountable for their actions, so they make and break promises at will. Their actions become arbitrary, allowing them to serve whichever interest groups they please, which means that regular citizens – regardless of election outcomes – have virtually no influence on government policy.

Does this mean that all politicians lack integrity? No, but they are few in number, because human nature dictates that the lack of accountability will be a magnet for those who lack integrity. Furthermore, people with integrity do not usually want to surround themselves with people (other politicians) who lack integrity. This paves the way for a large degree of immoral uniformity within the political class. As F.A. Hayek wrote in his book The Road to Serfdom, in a chapter titled Why the Worst Get on Top:

“[T]he higher the education and intelligence of individuals become, the more their tastes and views are differentiated. If we wish to find a high degree of uniformity in outlook, we have to descend to the regions of lower moral and intellectual standards where the more primitive instincts prevail. This does not mean that the majority of people have low moral standards; it merely means that the largest group of people whose values are very similar are the people with low standards.”

Low moral standards. Hayek is referring to people like Trudeau, O’Toole, Singh, and others of their ilk in the political class. That is why Canadian voters will not find integrity on the ballot.

And for those who wants to see the clip from the movie. ;-)
 
When I see "NDP" in a chart, my brain sees "NSDAP," and that's good enough for me.

Hail Singh!

The CPC has abandoned every single culture war battle, up to and including vaxx mandates. They stand for nothing but oil & gas development. The entire reason the PPC exists is because the CPC hasn't done jack shit or moved in any direction since Harper left office.

The LPC has been a neoliberal party for decades now.

Even Harper was full globohomo. Look at how high his immigration rates were and how hard he pushed TFWs.

No argument there. Absent the culture war, the differences between CPC and LPC seem pretty meaningless at my middle class level. I wouldn't expect the CPC to do anything to counter globohomo woke shit and at least Trudeau is making daycare more affordable. NDP ran the same gambit as the CPC, except from the left, and abandoned anything that made them worthwhile in pursuit of "electability". End result: a palette swapped Trudeau leading a party that thinks being Left means trigger warnings and fretting about the environment.

The idea that the CPC has gone too far to the right is absurd.
 
Today is Election Day for Canada! Pray that the PPC wins this one.
