I started working full time during the summer the year I turned 13. I was working for my family’s company and my safety was always the most important thing.

In the current environment of the exploration of workers I feel that it is unacceptable for children to work for any company other than a family company or a small company that will not exploit them and that will protect them.

What a load of nonsense. Federal employees don’t own the government any more than the average Canadian does. We pay for it but we don’t own it. The government is owned by the wealthy, the powerful, and corporations. The rest of us are just catyle being farmed for wealth. They get us in debt as early as possible and keep us in debt until the day we die and take everything we owned to pay it off.

They fuck up the workers pay because they can because they allow themselves to get away with it.

If you think that Canadians support the tantrumist bullshit then you definitely do live in an echo chamber. You really should stop reading Chinese and Russian anti-Canadian propaganda masquerading as extreme right wing “news” and come back to the center.

Lich is an idiot. She said, “If we had been there with an agenda to take over Ottawa and overthrow the government, we could have done it.” A bunch of northern hillbillies with a hundred big rigs were going to overthrow the government of Canada. What a bunch of fucking nonsense. That would have ended in one of only two ways: They would have ended up in prison or they would have ended up dead. They are a bunch of delusional children who share a ridiculous collective fantasy. Save yourself before you buy their bullshit book, line, and sinker. Or are you already too far gone?

My wife’s best friend’s husband is a long haul trucker. Like most Candian truckers he was vaccinated and working when the tantrumists were throwing their tantrum. He thought that they were fucking idiots. The big companies said that they would move unvaccinated drivers to Canadian routes.

“BoTh SiDeS!”

I’ve said this 100 times but I’ll say it again.

Comparing anything that is happening to or around you that is anything sort of the systematic murder of 10 million people to the systematic murder of 10 million people is going to get you in trouble. That shit should stay inside your fucking head.

OK, having said that, this hateful bitch has got to go.

Not “peaceful”.

There was nothing “peaceful” about the constant honking, the threats and intimidation, the insults and slurs. There was nothing peaceful about the harassment of small business that resulted in hundreds shutting down for three weeks putting thousands of hourly workers, many working paycheque to paycheque, with families to support out of work.

Everyone knows that when a child screams at the top of its lungs and refuses to move until it gets its way that it’s throwing a temper tantrum. That’s what the “protest” in Ottawa was. A bunch of full grown children throwing down, honking their horns and refusing to move until they got their way. They were tantrumists and they got spanked. Tammy Lich is going to get spanked harder than most.

I think that if you step out of your echo bunker and look around that the “many Canadians” you believe support her are actually a small, delusional minority. The rest of us are done with this fucking tantrumist false patriot bullshit.

I worked for the federal government for 25 years. I went months at a time any time I changed jobs or got promoted not getting paid the right amount. Sometimes I wouldn’t get paid at all. The pay people always told me that it eat ok because they would eventually get it figured out. I tried multiple times to explain that I bank and my landlord wouldn’t accept that but they just shrugged. Overtime and expenses would go six months before being paid. All that time I was out of pocket. My pay had constant deduction adjustments as they tried to get past mistakes corrected.

I left the federal government on 2011 and went to work for a private company. I told my wife to anticipate a few weeks before they got my pay flowing. At the end of the next pay period they paid me, the exact amount that I eat owed. Every pay period after that I was paid exactly the right amount. When I left that company in very good terms they paid my final paycheque immediately and it was exactly correct.

When I left that company and went to work for a US company as a foreign contractor my pay was always right and always on time. That company was sold to another company and my pay was never late or wrong. We were them divested and sold to another company and my pay was always on time and always correct.

Were any other employer in the country doing what the federal government is doing it would have been charged with gross violations of labour laws. The federal government just absolves itself with a, “Tee hee. Oops.”

Not a “hero”. Not about “Freedom”. Not a “patriot”. An unintelligent delusional criminal.

Ok.

You’re right. I agree.

I’m a socialist libertarian, BTW. I want the smallest government that is necessary to run the country. I don’t want corporations to write laws. I want laws that protect the people, and workers, and consumers, not the wealthy and corporations but I’m also smart enough to know that the only solution to a social problem is a social solution.

I believe that the people who do most of the work, the workers, should enjoy most of the benefit.

As it should be.

The problem is that every single thing a Conservative does is designed to look like is helping the common man when its actually helping the wealthy and corporations. Dig for us going to make land available for 50,000 units of urban sprawl? Million dollar houses that only the upper middle class can afford and 8 billion dollars of benefit to his wealthy friends. They weave a good story that the least of us believe while the entire time funneling billions and billions of dollars of the tax money paid by the least of us to the wealthiest of us and corporations. What we need is good management and good social programs. We’re not going to get that combination from either party so I would rather have social programs while they try to figure it out.

Why add losing the social progress we have made over decades to the mix? If what we need is further left why vote far right? Nothing is going to happen quickly. If the US goes authoritarian it will likely take decades to bring it back. How does electing white supremacist, white nationalist, racist, conspiracy theorist supported neo-fascists/christofascists help the average Candian who is socially progressive in the short, mid, and long term?

Lots of chatter in here about not supporting the conservatives. But, there’s no options for Canadians.

Ok…but why elect a government that we KNOW is going to be worse? That hurts us. They cut revenue, cut services, run up the deficit and the debt, then lose and blame the Liberals for their mess. We would be better off to just stick with the Liberals who are bumbling idiots but at least they aren’t actively trying to fuck us over to give billions of dollars to the wealthy and corporations. That doesn’t make any fucking sense.

Let’s elect the Conservatives so they can cut taxes on the rich, cut services for the poor, neglect our government systems and infrastructure, drive up the deficit and the debt, then blame the Liberals for trying to fix their mess.

Rinse.

Repeat.

Why are people so fucking dumb? The Conservatives do the same thing every time. Then they lie about what the Liberals are doing and people swallow it hook, line, and sinker.

Conservatives spend $400 million on a parking garage for a private spa being built on public land with a secret 99 year lease but school boards can’t afford to bus kids to school.

Conservatives give $8 billion benefit to a few wealthy developer friends of Doug Ford, get called out by the auditor in a scathing report, Steve Clark is abjectly incompetent but throws his Chief of Staff under the bus.

Oh look…neo-fascist virtue signaling targeting the LQBTQ community to distract everyone from the depths of their corruption!

They can’t name a single drag queen who has been convicted of grooming and sexually abusing children but most of claim to be members of a cult with a centuries long well documented history of grooming and sexually abusing millions of children.

Rich people: Give us all the money and we’ll let you have a little.

Liberal voters: Fuck off!

Conservative voters: Ok!

Liberal voters: We told you so.

Conservative voters: Any day now…

That’s substantially more than my mortgage payment.

Pierre Polievre is already virtue signaling.

This is why it’s in the state it’s in. I’m so sick of this right wing idiot.
