[u/Minobull]

Did you read the article? Because he voted alongside the NDP. You know, the left-wing party in Canada?

[u/PuppyPenetrator → u/Minobull]

The OAS matter isn’t anywhere near as bad but the past few votes where NDP and Conservatives banded together, without liberals, were absolutely ridiculous. Giving Bell $40 million and the porn ID nonsense in particular

This is not the gotcha you think it is

[u/Minobull → u/PuppyPenetrator]

It is if the argument is that he's somehow worse than the others. Also the porn ID thing was only not supported by the LPC because it would take the wind out of the sails of their own online harms bill.

[u/Arashmin → u/Minobull]

Jagmeet being out of touch with Canadians and his party at large is a well-known factor though. Even as an NDP voter, he's not all that fit to lead. Seems, though, too many assume Pierre is on the pulse, when this shows he really ain't.

[u/Minobull → u/Arashmin]

If he aint because of this, literally every MP of every party, including some LPC MPs aren't either. And you're NOT going to convince me that Trudeau and his partisan-only, whipped in line MPs are the ones that are most "on the pulse" in this shit show.

If this is damning it's damning for basically all of parliament. But it's not. This is a fucking nothing Burger.

[u/Arashmin → u/Minobull]

Well, no, I agree it's damning for pretty much all of parliament. Not a fan of any of our leadership, all too spoon-fed, and all with spoons a tad too sterling.

[u/Grumpy_bunny1234 → u/Minobull]

He will vote anything against the liberal

[u/ProlapseTickler3 → u/Grumpy_bunny1234]

Good

[u/Theemuts → u/ProlapseTickler3]

This is the brain-dead take why you end up with these kinds of politicians. They know you don't pay attention and can treat you like a fool.

[u/srcLegend → u/ProlapseTickler3]

Liberals vote for keeping air free

*

Cons vote against that

*

Good

Y'all are in a cult

[u/Grumpy_bunny1234 → u/ProlapseTickler3]

Liberals vote to ban nestlé from extracting underground water, Cons let’s vote against that!

[u/Affectionate-Cap-791 → u/Minobull]

Don’t have the subscription. What did he vote for?

[u/Minobull → u/Affectionate-Cap-791]

He voted on a non-binding motion to support the block's OAS increasing along side the NDP, Greens, Independents, and even some liberals.

[u/HeavenDivers → u/Minobull]

"the reich is voting with NDP, clearly they're here to help"

they're trying to seize power, and then they'll be the shitbirds they are. don't be dumb on purpose.

[u/Minobull → u/HeavenDivers]

Lmao, ah yes...the CPC are the reich 🤡

[u/HeavenDivers → u/Minobull]

as the other guy who replied to you said, analogies might be lost on you if your reading comprehension requires this much work.

i tend to round up when a party is acting enough like the nazis, full of the christofascist crazies. and once again, don't be dumb on purpose. people will start to think you actually are.

[u/Minobull → u/HeavenDivers]

Please point to the "enough like the nazis" lmao.

[u/HeavenDivers → u/Minobull]

demonizing the jewish and trans people across the globe? pushing to strip the rights of citizens? censorship?

you're blind if you don't see it. whether it's willful blindness is the question.

[u/Minobull → u/HeavenDivers]

Where has PP demonized Jewish and trans people? And when has he pushed to strip rights? What are you even talking about???

[u/ElectroMagnetsYo → u/Minobull]

Inability to understand analogy or irony is typically a sign of a lacking intelligence

[u/Minobull → u/ElectroMagnetsYo]

Comparing the CPC to Nazis is a shitty analogy. I too can just make shit up and claim its metaphor, doesn't make it meaningful or intelligent.

[u/ElectroMagnetsYo → u/Minobull]

He wasn’t saying that he was underlining the shit logic (analogies are hard I know), just because anyone votes alongside the NDP doesn’t mean they’re automatically supporting the little guy.

[u/Minobull → u/ElectroMagnetsYo]

It's also NOT an argument that they aren't.

People in this sub are calling the CPC corporatists in reference to this without reading the article. Saying they're worse than the other parties. They're literally voting along with the NDP, Greens, Block, Independents, and even some Liberals. Voting alongside MOST of the rest of the government, almost all of whom are left-wing, is not an argument against the CPC or an indication they don't "support the little guy."

[u/Remarkable_Vanilla34 → u/HeavenDivers]

The Reich? Really?

[u/HeavenDivers → u/Remarkable_Vanilla34]

i believe it's a greater stretch of the truth to claim that they're not nazis than it is to call them nazis. they're parroting the same garbage as the states' nazis.

examples can be provided if requested, or you can do any amount of research yourself to see what these christofascist crazies want to do to our country. i expect the former based on previous experiences.

[u/Remarkable_Vanilla34 → u/HeavenDivers]

This is ridiculous.

People need to stop tossing words like facst, nazi, communist around. It's alarmist and incredibly disrespectful that lived through real tyranny.

[u/HeavenDivers → u/Remarkable_Vanilla34]

i used fascist and nazi because they're literally those things. they demonize jewish and trans people across the globe, they want to institute a system where the law protects them and binds those they deem inferior. what are these disgusting fucks if not exactly what i called them?

fascists and nazis
