A Great Day For Canada

About fricken time the Liberals and NDP came to an agreement to stop the never-ending short election cycle. This should have happened last year. Now let’s get some movement on electoral reform, the #ClimateCrisis, and reconciliation, among many other files the parties can agree on. The Greens are also likely to support many bills.

Yes!
This is a great day for Canada.

#TommyDouglas was a #socialist and because of him #PierrePoilievre parents were not billed for his delivery. #Medicare #DentalCare

Moe has already responded with petulant ignorance and mischaracterization of what’s happening.

Yes Gord, yes you should be. Just like every free-thinking Canadian should be. Our Official Opposition party is a party of insurrectionists, racists, and fascists.#cdnpoli https://t.co/nUZCf7przz

And it’s not that Conservatives don’t understand, many do. It’s that they just don’t care, and have calculated they’ll get more mileage from misinforming voters.

If Pierre Poilievre and Candice Bergen are having a tantrum, something good for Canadians probably just happened

This is how a minority govt is supposed to work. It benefits everyone. Most of this country are centrists, with left leaning social beliefs. With the far-right ravaging the CPC, this is a good move https://t.co/N794zJRpZc

I don't know about anybody else, but with a major war unfolding in Europe, I'm glad to have stable government for the next few years.

"The Prime Minister should work with the people occupying downtown Ottawa!"

– CPC, February 2022

"How dare the Prime Minister work with the NDP!!"

– CPC, March 2022

CPC in October 2021: How dare Trudeau call an expensive, unnecessary election!
CPC in March 2022: How dare Trudeau form an agreement with the NDP to ensure we don't have another expensive, unnecessary election!

How on earth can a majority of members of parliament decide the direction of the country, within the constraints of the constitution? Who would design a system like that?

Because the Liberals didn't want to get people healthy teeth, and affordable medications??#cdnpoli https://t.co/7vuENImQjY

My eyes would like a word with the Liberals and NDP who don’t think they should include sight as an aspect of covered public health.

What’s Going On?

YouTuber David Doel was saying all the cops had to do to win mass public support was to come out and do nothing. They couldn’t even do nothing. They threatened charities, faked being poisoned, all while slashing tires, shooting eyes, gassing people, clubbing them, breaking old men’s heads, and playing the victims.

India and China are in a shooting war this week. Why? I’ve no idea.

Canada lost its bid for a UN Security Council seat. Why? Again, not sure. A friend tells me that Trudeau’s racist blackface incidents from decades ago played a factor.

The NDP leader was kicked out of Parliament for the day for calling a racist Bloc MP a racist, after he stopped unanimous consent to examine systemic racism in the RCMP.

Prime Minister Furious At Himself

Canada’s bonehead Prime Minister, in an effort to look more like Boris Johnson, has turned up in an old photo sporting a culturally inappropriate turban costume while wearing what is now, finally widely recognized as racist, blackface makeup.

Fewer years ago than when the Prime Minister dressed in blackface as a young adult and teen among sheltered & ignorant friends, the #CPCracists' leader was a young MP railing against the rights of homosexuals, while addressing the country in the House of Commons.#elxn43

This latest photo is not to be confused with the one manufactured by the Conservative Party to characterize the PM as a brown person shutting down oil production in Alberta.

Oh, but that doesn't count – According to the Conservatives. 🙄#CPCHypocrisy #cdnpoli https://t.co/CvjsYNa1oN

The Right Honourable guy has a tattoo of First Nations imagery on his shoulder, I’m pretty sure he must have a whole closest stuffed full of inappropriate cultural appropriation. If Canadians come to their senses before polling day, they can elect a PM who wears a turban appropriately, or one who stands shoulder to shoulder with First Nations people as they’re arrested for defending unceded territory from invading oil companies.
