Either they believe that spending more on advertising brings more votes, or they admit that our "democracy" is really a plutocracy.
Time to cut allowable spending and increase subsidies by candidate, so that the quality of your policies determines votes, not the wealth of your paymasters or that your leader has stopped wearing glasses and has changed his outfits.
A deep dive into the demise of the company my father devoted his entire career to, only to lose his pension when they went bankrupt. From corporate executive and corporate board incompetence/hubris to Canadian conservative politicians need to suck up to American interests, Chinese corporate espionage and more, it’s quite the read: https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/did-a-chinese-hack-kill-canada-s-greatest-tech-company-1.1459269 #canada #canadianpolitics #tech

Tried to post a link to a #CBC article on #Facebook - I don't use it too often, and found that the #News block for #Canada is in effect.
My response was an "oh well" and posted without that link. I think this will make the platform more bearable to interact with, but tbh I kind of don't have much of an opinion because I do not and have never relied on FB for my news. I get that this is a big deal politically, but in personal practice, it's very meh.

Did anyone else in #Canada just receive random text from members of PPoophead's federal election campaign team? Asking if you'd support replacing Trudeau with PP?
I don't even know how they got my cellphone number since I've been anti-Cons since age of voting & pretty open about that fact.

"By Latin American standards, Uruguay is a high-income country and it has historically thought of itself as having abundant water resources. Those who warned of diminishing supplies were considered catastrophists and investment was postponed."
Well, that's is an uncomfortably relatable quote to any #Canadian who is concerned with what's happening to #water in this country...

This offends me so much. You can’t respect democracy and freedom while simultaneously pretending you have grounds for an “official grievance” or something silly over Taylor Swift not touring here.
Invite, don’t condemn. And if she declines the invitation, handle it with some grace. Instead, these politicians are a national embarrassment.
Anyone involved in this, any party, should be tossed from their party.

Despite the tiny Alberta separatist movement only really succeeding in selling bumper stickers, it made Fox News and Newsmax this week.

Hey, UBC -- respect your students. Don't deny them the right to unionise. You're looking very American right now, and it's not a good look on you. Do better.

Neo-basis have been attending anti-Trans protests in Britain. British MP Moira Deeming might even be expelled for her involvement of the protest (photo below).
Someone being Trans isn’t any of your business. How does it impact you if someone wants to change their gender?

March 25, 2023. Good morning! Anyone else wake up this morning, and think "I need a nap"? Maybe it's just me. The chaos in bullshit CPC rhetoric and stupidity, and the psychosis enhanced versions coming from the UCP is killing me (and actually killing people) Stay Safe. ☮️❤️🍁

March 24, 2023. Good Morning! Politics should never be this ugly, and the CPC/Reformers are making it ugly on purpose to distract you from the government making lives better for the average Canadian. It's gaslighting, it's fake, and it's worthless, like the CPC. Stay safe! ☮️❤️🍁

March 17, 2023. Good Morning! Despite all the craziness, I still have hope. Hope for Canada, even hope for Alberta. I think all of the fake conservatives repeatedly outing themselves with rage bait and irresponsible garbage may help, showing everyone they're not viable, responsible, or leaders. ☮️❤️🍁
