On one side we have Pierre and the Conservative Party who are clearly copying the GoP Fascism play
On another side, we have Trudeau and the Liberal Party who can easily be argued are compromised by China
And on yet another side, we have the NDP who has no track record on running the country and could have any number of issues flying under the radar because the media prefers to concentrate mostly on Red and Blue
Honestly, if they think that's creative, then how brain dead are the racists they come across? It takes so little brainpower to think up "Monkey" that I just
Can't fathom how this is rare enough for them to count as original

No no, let him have real military equipment. Let him feel like a badass until he collapses under the literal weight of it all and is immobilized and left to die
Wish it was seeing more success where I work. Then again, I have batshit coworkers calling the boycott "Dumb", that Loblaws "Is the cheapest place", and think a successful boycott would "Cost jobs" (we're fucking union no it won't), so maybe it is being effective and I just hear the negativity from coworkers able to buy stock shares because of working here out of boredom rather than need
Staff on floor. Who are also unionized. It's like, shut up you elderly bag you clearly are not doing this because you have to and as such can afford the stock buy in program and not need to choose between eating and rent
At least some other coworkers are sane and agree with the boycott
This is why they are delaying it until after the election. If Biden wins, they continue to stretch out the trial until Trump dies because of his old age and bad health, then go, "Well the defendant is dead so no reason to rule on this", leaving it open until they get another chance
If Trump wins, then they rule in Trump's favour with the trial suddenly going at breakneck speed
I think it would be better if they made their own instance that worked akin to Mastodon. Then they are always in control of it and people can use whatever Fediverse account to follow
I’m Canadian and we have our own issues with far right nutjobs but I’ve heard the phrase “Project 2025” thrown around and the little I’ve seen about it frightens me. I don’t follow the news for the sake my mental health but could someone explain it in depth? What kind of a shit show are we looking at? Unfortunately...
Plus, Alberta exists and I have lived here long enough to know that the idiots here would be itching to use a US civil war as the reason to start one in Canada
Which is why it pisses me off when people go, "Third Party/Not Voting". Other elections, fine. This election? Dems need to win. Period. They need all three branches of government and enough of a margin to prevent getting Manchin'd. Anything less means there will not be a second chance
Destroy the GoP first, THEN focus on smacking around the Dems
Unfortunately, Project 2025 being a thing means Biden needs to win. Trump winning means no second chances as the GoP WILL instate a dictatorship that wears democracy's pelt as a disguise
Honestly, best case scenario would be Biden dying like the day after being sworn in again. Because he is awful. But Trump is way worse
“Their frustration is understandable, but this kind of expectation betrays a misunderstanding of what’s actually driving food prices higher in this country.”
As a retail employee at loblaws, don't believe any of us who say it's not a problem and the profits aren't obscene. They offer stock options as a perk - So those doing it as a bored get out of the house option are essentially bought
