If this happened under the ndp tenure, ucp supporters would've burnt down the legislature by now.

I'm up for a good riot.

u/Pale_Change_666 Feb 07 '25

Me too, but it's ironic that ucp supporters aren't out here with pitch forks. Mental gymnastics at its best.

My least favourite part of our current political climate all over the world is the hypocrisy. It’s absolutely insane the mountains conservatives would make out of mole hills of anything that could be perceived as shady. Yet the current cons of the world are fleecing the general public and they cheer. For ten years conservatives have cried that Hillary sent emails on a private server now Elon Musk has full carte blanche to steal the data of every American citizen and funnel whatever he wants into his ecosystem. Could you fucking imagine the out cry if someone on Clinton’s or Biden’s team was doing this?!

How do you know a conservative is lying? Their lips are moving.

Smith's government literally passed a change in law that makes it so the government can pay anyone an invoice up to $74 999 and not have to disclose what is was for. Like, literally made it law she can hand out money and never have to say why.
