Lightly Toasted Conservatives? /jk

Republicans are not for the American people.
Starfury42
The worst part is that they keep getting re-elected.
Whatsname
Ask Trudeau about the military sex allegations or his promise to Electoral Reform. Or the We thing.
iamalreadyaghost
List to big. Let’s ask about Bill C-10?
fastjeff
Ontario... actually kinda surprised it wasn't Alberta, well... in Alberta they would've goose-stepped out of the room.
thereitis101
Could have stopped after “conservatives don’t care”
Psycho3968
Republicans hate America, HATE them back. Vote every last fucking one of them out of power!!
DolphinSateMyPotroast
This post is definitely about Canada babe.
bob3dod
I think it's fair to say they didn't walk out. They resigned.
ElvananceTN
seems like north american white culture to neglect the elderly.
RenaissanceFaireMan
How many press conferences/interviews did Trump storm out of/cut short?
circlebreaker
So why did they walk out, and who the Hell is Dosani that I should care about their opinion?
MagpieChristine
These would be the same Conservatives who blamed the NDP for the state LTC was in, because the NDP didn't force the Liberals to do better.
Lanhdanan
Meanwhile, former Ontario Premier Harris is bagging the cash from his long term care facility.
PictureArchiver
They don’t have the privilege to walk out of an interview. They’re not a movie star, they’re elected officials. They owe us accountability.
SirSparblington
Some people need to be charged with criminal offenses over this. It's un-Canadian.
Zatherous
Charged ? Maybe a strongly worded letter, now that's Canadian.
itsjustplaid
Conservatives will never understand the concept of stewardship.
Zatherous
Liberals aren't much better. Both parties treat the country as their own personal enrichment machine. It's sad that Jack Layton passed away.
sixseasonsandamov1e
It's depressing that it's so difficult to put people in office that actually care about being a good public servant.
Zatherous
People who care don't want to be part of the shit show. People going through your garbage, harassing your family, there is no respectability
AlexanderElcazorro
You see, if I walked out a meeting where I'm supposed to explain what's going on to my boss, I'd get in trouble.
or0b0ur0s
In America, we don't have the Minister or the conference. My elders call me every day, weeping. The staff are ready to quit when I complain.
Mooshbah
It's hard to fathom that the cracked out brother is somehow the better of the two. Yet here we are.
MithridateEupator
Wait... He's the other guy's brother? Why would anyone elect him?
Mooshbah
I think it's important to not let the actions of one's family discredit them. Everyone is an individual after all.
X5494
the only reason people think he was better is because he wasn't in charge when there was a pandemic.
ButIBuildAThousandBridges
I think he was self medicating and it maybe humbled him a *bit*. What I'm saying is, this guy should do drugs.
TheWeebleWobler
Funny how empathy works
VonZinzer
Not to speak ill of the dead, but Rob wasn't just an amusing trainwreck of a mayor, he set the city back easily 20 years on transit planning
rollerskateorgies
He was also addicted to crack and quite possibly put a hit on someone.
GayCanadianJew
I’d say they were both equally horrible. Rob was a homophobic prick who hated the city he was mayor of, my city, and also was rude to my mom
randomwalrus
Is that what motivated you to smite him with your space laser?
paintingagency
If only it were that easy.
Algebraicrhombus
Heh.
DukeSliscus
And yet the fucking hill-people from rural Ontario love him.
Zatherous
Which is kind of surprising given he's from Toronto. Normally non-Torontonians have 1 thing in common, they hate Toronto.
Lanhdanan
Fuck Toronto.
ratfacekilla
Lol fuck you too, buddy.

Upvote for the buddy.

Yes Douglas, just like your brother.

At least Rob was funny
GayCanadianJew
Funny how? Cuz as someone who lives in Toronto I was never laughing.

Ontario elected a popularist and unqualified leader. Vote people vote.
buzzingbee
I wasn't in ON when Ford was elected, but goddammit I'ma gonna vote the turd out and JT too!
Zatherous
After the shit show that was Kathleen Sin and Dalton McGuilty people were dead tired of the Liberals

Enjoy your buck a beer
Velina
LTC? as an army vet i only read that as lieutenant colonel or diet colonel if i i dont like the person. whats it mean in this context?
theokaychick
I was wondering if it was a tribal name abbreviation.
eastcoastbestcoast
Long term care. As in, a assisted living facility.
jes2850
better than me. software engineer trying to figure out what the hell litecoin has to do with this situation
nekobaka
its LTS, just for people :)

Diet colonel is fucking hilarious
HiddenSanity
About half the Colonels I've seen could use a diet.
TroubledGeometry
...Yeah.
HiddenSanity
I like to imagine you work in a military office with a lot of rank and started offended, then looked around the room and took a rough count.
seans1213
I too thought of half bird
MezzedUp
I immediately thought Litecoin, the cryptocurrency, and was very confused.
SirSmurfalot
I have heard them called Light Colonel, but never Diet Colonel, that is hilarious!

Long term care
Velina
ah, that makes sense. thanks
Imalwaysready
Do you elect a long-term care minister?
VonZinzer
They're an elected Member of the Provincial Legislature; the Premier appoints them to the LTC portfolio.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
They're appointed. In this case by the premier since it's provincial not federal. Premier is like governor in the US.
CanadianCobraChicken
Our Minister of Education has no experience in education and our Minister of Health has no experience in healthcare. That says it all.
BrdCdn
1/ It's not necessary to have a background in a field to be a minister. Sometimes it's beneficial to have outside eyes on a file that are
BrdCdn
2/ not prejudiced one way or another. Those two's problems lie elswhere.

Lecce wasn't hired to run education. He was hired to break it, and spin the fuck out of what he was doing.

Always considered myself a small c conservative, but , I hate where politics are headed here in Canada. Knew the Libs were toast in Ontario1
KingofDucks1990
How about we pass electoral reform and stop splitting the vote? Conservatives represent a minority but our FPTP electoral system is broken
0sometimessarah0
Whoever gets Ontario and Quebec win the country. Its getting tighter as people get sick of the same old shit but... Not quick enough.
KingofDucks1990
Quebec is disproportionately represented, but Ontario + Quebec are 61% of Canada's population. Ontario alone is more than 38%.
KingofDucks1990
The west is badly underrepresented in the senate. But House of Commons seats are relatively proportional to population.
WinterOfMyDiscontent
I've worked inside an NPD provincial government, they don't really care, they're just way better at pretending they do.
Causeitsmadeofmeat
If they behave as though they care, it doesn't matter if they do.
whatmakesushuman
You know... I’m a die hard Charlie Angus supporter. Jagmeet Singh is pretty rad, but he’s a “politician” and always on. Angus is just...
whatmakesushuman
...a badass real as fuck punk rocker. He’s the real deal. If Singh can’t get the votes, Charlie should get the leadership.
whatmakesushuman
I know you were provincial. Just saying. Mind if I ask what province? I’m from Manitoba so we had a lot of disenchantment with Greg.
WinterOfMyDiscontent
I prob shouldn't say the province, but that's the basic idea. Disillusioned with them redistributing to themselves instead of those in need
ElChupaNuggra
The NDP's last real hope died with Jack Layton. I don't agree with everything Trudeau does, but he's the best damn PM we've had in decades.
WinterOfMyDiscontent
He's alright. The Libs are kind of a hodge-podge and it's difficult to know what they stand for, but I think of them as the lesser evil
ElChupaNuggra
They're still politicians no matter what, but they've done a LOT of good while in office, and a few boneheaded moves I couldn't justify 1/?
ElChupaNuggra
if I tried. Most complaints I tend to see about them when whittled down to the bone is, 'Why are they helping EVERYONE BUT ME!? Handouts 2/?
BaklavaWearingBalaclavaWhilePlayingBalalaikaOnBlackLava
I'm in Alberta. This province is Big C conservative. It sucks and people are so dumb and stubborn here. I might die because of it.
HuruinaInu
You mean conservative with a capital CON. Won't do anything to challenge business, infection rate 2x Canadian average, blame the feds
BaklavaWearingBalaclavaWhilePlayingBalalaikaOnBlackLava
I'm the last election only 2 ridings didn't go conservative in Alberta
ynotbu
That's so fucked up. How can a party that will fuck over so many people be elected. Libtards hate must be deep like racism!
alsowhatsaderp
Umm, that's not true. 24 ridings went to the NDP in the last election: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_Alberta_general_election
BaklavaWearingBalaclavaWhilePlayingBalalaikaOnBlackLava
I meant the last federal election
alsowhatsaderp
I mean, that's still not true: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Results_of_the_2019_Canadian_federal_election_by_riding#Alberta. There's only 1
0sometimessarah0
Last time. Voted NDP as a protest against Ford. He's a big time weasel. Liberal and NDP from now on... And they say you're supposed to get 2
DigYourselfBaby
Just an FYI: the leader of the Ontario Green Party, Mike Schreiner, has his shit together.
0sometimessarah0
Yeah but in Ontario, It's Libs or Cons. The NDP is persona non grata since "Rae Days" And Greens are lucky to have party status. /1
0sometimessarah0
Things are changing with the younger generation. I hope it happens sooner than later.
DigYourselfBaby
I agree, but I never liked the ON Cons OR Libs, so it may as well be someone I respect even if i'm throwing away my vote.
0sometimessarah0
More conservative as you age! Lol
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
I've gone ndp too (although I was never conservative). We're going like the US. Cons = Repubs and Libs = Dems. Ndp is our only hope.
StupidFingAsshole
There's actually been tons of research that found people become more liberal as they age
ElectricJihad
Conservative and Liberal voter....older I get, the more liberal I become...however I find very little in the 3 parties here in Canada I like
somebodythatyouusetoknow
If anything, I shifted from NDP to Liberal back to NDP. Cons were never an option. I care too much about my fellow people to vote the Cons.
Lanhdanan
ABC. Anything But Conservative.
BrdCdn
While I really don't like the current iteration of the cons, I don't get the impression that small c conservatives don't care for others
sunyudai
Getting more conservative as you age only happens when things are getting better as you age.
Tr417z
Which is awesome because I only like winning and will only continue to win more and more
sunyudai
That's... not really the point of politics.
