#PierrePoilievre says he's going to "ax the #tax" on #gasoline, to lower the price at the pump. What he doesn't say is that his #oil-industry friends will raise the resulting price, pocketing even MORE #profit. Nice, huh?

"Conservative Leader #PierrePoilievre is not bound to adopt any of the policies that were passed at this convention. Poilievre did not take questions from reporters after the votes."
#Conservatives have a dictator as leader. What's the point of having a policy convention when the leader can and does ignore what the members voted for?
#SocialConservatives need a new party of their own to fight for what they want.

I see how it is, you fucking assholes. "Bodily autonomy for me, but not for thee." You fucking hipocrits have nothing better to do than scream about how trans people should be barred from getting care then moan about how very important public health measures shouldn't apply to you because "on it's haaaaard and I don't wannaaaaa"
You're a bunch of fucking greedy children.

I'm not convinced that voting Conservative is a good idea in the next election.
"On another transgender-related policy, delegates voted by an overwhelming 87 per cent to support a plan to demand single-sex spaces that are only open to women, which the party now defines as a "female person" with the adoption of the policy."

The decision was likely to be seen as victory for #conservatives who’ve long argued that #SocialMedia platforms’ #content #moderation efforts restrict their #FreeSpeech rights. But some advocates also said the ruling was an improvement over a temporary #injunction US Dist Judge Terry #Doughty issued July 4.
David Greene, an atty w/the ElectronicFrontier Foundation, said the new injunction was “a thousand times better” than what Doughty, an appointee of #Trump, had ordered originally.

For people interested in #USPolitics this episode of #Cato Daily Podcast is pretty short and informative.
Briefly, it looks at the evolving divide among #conservatives / #Republican party members and notably how the more #Trump aligned side has come to focus on politics primarily as a tool for attacking enemies, not building anything up.
This is important for a few reasons, both to understand them so as to figure out how to react to them AND as a way of predicting how things will work out, since that approach has little traction in the broader public.
Trump was elected by a coalition of different groups with vastly different, often contradictory interests. This evolution utterly breaks the coalition, though.

Seriously it's ridiculous. He basically says that there's nothing for the workers to hope for in their lifetime, but that they will get rewarded after they die.

Why should progressives accommodate conservatives' need to be socially accepted, when conservatives refuse to allow "others" to be socially accepted.
If the conservatives want people to be friendly with them, then they need to stop being so actively hostile to people.
@JuliusGoat does a much better job explaining this idea in this essay:
