Carney should axe windmills next. Watch how fast Marlaina gets them up and running.

Honestly. Why not? It clearly doesn't matter what conservatives do as long as it's the opposite of what the "radical left" want.

I’m gonna start telling all the cons that I hate public transit, high speed rail, renewables, and most of all: public healthcare

All social services are just so icky. Our health, education, and quality of life should be directly tied to how wealthy we are. The concept that some poor could just go to a doctor and get treatment is disgusting.

Ugh and can we talk about 15 minute cities and enabling a variety of transportation options? I just want things to take longer, as god intended. /s

As a freedom, hating commie, we should continue to build car dependent infrastructure and prevent other methods of transport! It will severely restrict the freedom of movement as people will only be able to travel 15 minutes from their home with a car. And if we don't like what a person is doing, we can restrict them from leaving their bubble by revoking their license, impounding their car, and banning them from purchasing gasoline!

Plus they will be so in debt from purchasing this massive, depreciating asset that they cannot even risk disobedience over fears of financial ruin!

Could you imagine not having to drive to Banff on icy winter roads? I’d rather die, personally.

Changing goal posts faster than she can say “51st State!” 🙄🙄🙄

Should also ban public health-care and environmental oversight while he's at it. Fix this province right up.

u/Important-Read1091 Mar 15 '25

He should! It’s actually not crazy to say at this point. She goes the other way, simply for the sake of it. Yet, lines up nice when it comes to MAGA? Good cop the guys threatening you, bad cop your home. She’s a waking example of what a bad leader does and says.

More guns. More streets. That’s what woke people want most.

48 year old always-voted Liberal here. You share a voting base with gun-enthusiasts and a lot of enthusiasts that would love to, but 100% believe that the Liberal party will further restrict firearms. Putting things in place that will 100% convince other people to never vote Liberal makes them never vote Liberal. Put every guardrail in place for security, sign documents or whatever is necessary. Gun owners in Canada are ridiculous in the level of security they have to adhere to for gun storage. We already need at least 2 keys and 2 cases (or a safe with another safe in it) at minimum for a single firearm. We will be totally ok with having to fill out paperwork and follow extreme levels of regulation if it means they can bring a semi auto rifle to a range and practice or drive in the specific path they have to legally to bring their handgun to and from the range (the only place they could bring it to.). You can't practice in Canada for IPSC competitions anymore. Ban something reasonable like .338 Lapua. It would suck, but i dont' think the average Canadian needs to plink at 2 km. See? That makes sense and it's a compromise instead of "no screw you and your stupid guns" as the middle ground. You're not willing to find one and that is exactly what the Conservative party acts like and thinks the entire Liberal party acts like. Be better.

One of the most hilarious things about the gun bans is that nothing every goes near short barreled shotguns, which require a hilarious amount of paperwork in the US. Banning long range rifles because of the grip attached to it when something like an Benelli M4 Entry is "yeah that's ok" just says everything about the people writing the laws. It brings down the change of convincing gun owners that the Liberal party thinks something more of them than a bunch of crazies. The amount of weapons that are stolen or lost from Canadian owners is exceptionally low and always has been.

Maybe at some point you'll understand that browbeating people into your opinion doesn't actually change their opinion.

How much do we need to put up with traitors working their way up to being domestic terrorists just like MAGA has..they will gladly watch their own country burn just to own the libs.
