Pretty much the same as always in Canadian politics. The previous party was bad we'll just ride this one till they become intolerable then go back to the other one. Any other party would be unfathomable.

He says he was puzzled that the party had deemed him “unworthy” or “unqualified” to run for the party in a community he’d served provincially for three decades

His previous tenure is exactly why I don't think this guy should ever have a government position of any kind again.

Yes that's what I was getting at.

It's actually kinda amazing he seems to have never gotten into the whole "wokeism" thing Pierre and Rustad still peddles to this day as one of society's greatest issues. Although I'm glad Pierre is to dumb to stfu with the idiotic rhetoric.

As someone from BC I have a question.

While Ford is undoubtedly and maybe the best embodiment of a greasy Conservative he's also seemingly kept his nose rather clean to the crazy right wing stuff Rustad and Danielle Smith not only supports but can't seem to stop talking about.

For example them are loud supporter of the Convoy stuff while Ford didn't act when his provinces was one of the worst impacted ones along with his son in law being ass deep in that stuff.

He would be a decent minister.

People overestimating their ability is common and somewhat reasonable. The party not doing much about while it's on the path of losing official part status is incompetence.

The problem is that many decades of neoliberalism has led people to be so desperate they think facism is a solution.

If Carney continues to do what the Liberals and Conservative has done for a long time now the next thing people go will be much uglier.

Did anyone else read the entire article and feel like the title should be: "How bad Canadian have it compared to the Dutch and the Danes"

There really isn't much of solution that is implied in the title the we can learn or copy from them aside from the team approach which we've already started to implement.

It can be some of the news but not all the news.

I don't believe there's something magical about CBC where they couldn't be contorted to favour whatever Conservatives want. In itself they've been trying make Trump and other Conservatives look sane for years now.

The only reason why Peirre wants them gone is because Postmedia does it for free. At least until whoever funds them decides otherwise.

Given the current news revenue models I don't think it's possible for large scale outlets to be anything but paid adverts in guise of the news. The Conservative mantra of deregulation is also going to make things worse.

Ultimately someone will need to come up with something that pays people to deliver accurate news.

Loosely related topic but in the last few years I've noticed a uptick of people online prefacing a absolute horrible takes with "I'm xyz(entirely unverifiable)" or just some like "I'm very smart" then says something entirely idiotic.

I think it's very telling how they approached our current issues with America.

Many of Conservatives has potrayed it as a policy issue. When in fact Canada has a Trump issue but criticizing the person you copied for years would look bad.

They're pretty limited here but I think there is significant reason to ban PostMedia posts in this community especially with the future growth.

The concession I think would be reasonable would be to not allow direct links to them and have people use archive links in addition to making the Submitter put a notable point from the article to show that there at least something worthwhile to be discussed.
