I know it’s not really a typical thing to talk about on this subreddit, but I think it’s important, and I’d like to see the general consensus.
Thomas Massie is a far-right American Republican congressman. He worked with progressive liberal Ro Khanna to get the ball rolling on releasing the Epstein Files, and he opposes sending aid to Israel. He is, by all accounts, one of the last true libertarians. He votes with his party about 90% of the time.
He just lost his GOP primary because of those two things: releasing the Epstein Files and ceasing aid to Israel. Those two in tandem were enough to warrant over $15 MILLION in AIPAC money and active campaigning from the POTUS himself, in order to deseat probably the most popular Republican in Congress.
Let me be clear here: I do not support Thomas Massie. He is a pro-life, pro-gun, anti-*all* foreign aid, far-right American Republican. I would not vote for him under any circumstances.
HOWEVER.
This shows to me that the GOP stands for absolutely nothing. For all his faults, for all his failures, for everything he is and is not, he is a conservative in every way.
So this is MAGA. This is today’s GOP. They’ll defend neo-Nazi group chats, antisemitic slurs, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, misinformation, anything else really. But they draw the line at being anti-Israel and anti-pedophile.

I will die on an orange hill. I will go to my grave knowing I've never supported any other party with my vote.

But mon dieu I am so over Eby.

Or rather... what happened to first year Eby?? He didn't GAF and pushed through some very positive projects that people initially hated but grudgingly realized how good they were.

Where did his spine go? This year's Eby is a goddamned embarrassment. The last straw for me was pulling the funding for the revamp and expansion of Burnaby General.

Earlier this month I was stuck in the ICU for days.

And by ICU I mean in a hallway with U-Line plexiglass dividers and giant HVAC tubes duct taped to the ceiling with wires and lights hanging down. The hospital is in shambles. They're severely understaffed and have no room for the number of patients that come in.

I was so disappointed and disgusted when I heard the funding was cut. Eby, what happened to your spine and berries?? Did you sell them out to O&G? Mining? Forestry? AI? For God's sakes man, DO SOMETHING. No policy on earth is going to make 100% of the population happy.

The last holdout of hope I have is the expansion of SFU into our 2nd (third...ish) medical school. But now I'm not even holding my breath. The Overton window just keeps pulling right and he's holding his hands over his ears and yelling NA NA NA, CANT HEAR YOU

This version isn't what I voted for.

Currently there are 2 wings of the NDP the "old wing" socially moderate, Blue-Collar workers and the New Left Socially progressive, White-Collar workers. The Old Left is more anti free trade and less concerned with the environment. More focused on economic issues and resource development. NDP has to balance the anti-development wing and the pro-development wing. or we risk losing half of our dedicated base. which is a whole lot of seats also. because both the liberals and conservatives have been reaching out to those old left voters

An article (pages 8 and 9) in the magazine "Canadian Teacher" was shared with me and I just...

On top of all the other issues with AI-

Who's watching these kids? Are we expecting a parent to stay home? Are we going to keep screaming about birth rates when the schools aren't minding our children while both parents work?

Why are we ignoring the science that says increased screen time lowers grades?

Are we ignoring the fact that schools teach more than math but they teach community, social skills, conflict resolution, healthy relationships and may very well be the only place children can meet friends? I cant even begin to state how bad this is that its being said at all let alone in an education magazine.

Its bad enough AMIRA has already infected my child's classroom to teach kids to read but the idea that THIS could ever be a solution is despicable.

I noticed New Brunswick doesn't have a provincial NDP. Did I miss it or is really just the Grits, Tories and Greens?
