Democracy requires an educated population and an independent press, not MAGA and Postmedia. We are doomed unless we fix this. Nonpartisan centrist living in the Comox Valley.

I am immediately distrusting of anyone still on that hellscape, contributing to the bottom line of an oligarch openly committed to overthrowing democracy worldwide.

Comms guy here: “We are sorry to see Chris go, and we wish him well in the future” would have been the classy, voter-friendly response to this floor crossing, but the CPC seems hyper-focused on appealing to their nasty base instead of reasonable swing voters.

The CPC base is now disproportionately made up of bullies and bigots. It’s no surprise the caucus reflects this.

Many of the problems in America are based on structural faults.
Our constitutional monarchy, Westminster parliamentary system isn’t perfect, but it works pretty well compared to theirs.

One of the top 5 most respected news sources on the planet versus a loathsome faux-Christian apologist for a dictatorship.

Reasonable politicians need to loudly and proactively call out this nonsense.

I bet not one of these crackpot protesters actually gives a damn about animal welfare. They’re all just a bunch of conspiracy theorist weirdos latching onto the latest #MapleMAGA fake outrage grift.

If AB had anti-SLAPP legislation like we do here in BC, this case would be shut down quickly and cheaply.

After Poilievre gets the boot in the next 3 months to 2 years, I would be shocked if Ford is not the next CPC leader, and then he goes on to win a general election.
(Either that or the party goes even more RWNJ #MapleMAGA and chooses Baber or Lewis.)

I am constantly gobsmacked by how many voters vote for a party without any idea whatsoever who their candidate is.
That’s the demographic who gets riled up when MLAs and MPs leave a caucus.

Mamdani is a uniquely exciting and articulate politician, like Obama was.
Nobody running for the federal NDP leadership has anywhere near this level of personality.

This is a non-issue. Anyone who thinks that reducing the PS by 10% through attrition over 3 years is going to negatively affect services hasn’t spent any time in the Ottawa PS. I have and I welcome this.

It’s no surprise the CLC is against downsizing of the public service, full stop.
As a reasonable moderate centrist who was for years part of that public service, I know the downsizing could have gone much further, with no impact on service to the public.
Because Ottawa bloat.
