Now hiring: Rubber Stamps with Legs

I think there is interest and space for the NDP right now, but with all the chaos going on they are laying low. Until they pick a leader who sets the agenda, the NDP in government right now is a loose group of 5 MPs: McPherson, Johns, Kwan, Gazan and Davies.

The BC Conservatives under Rustad basically rode in under novelty in 2024. There’s a sense of weariness of the Eby government and a mix of credible and meritless reasons to not like him.

We’ll see if it’s possible for the BC Con caucus to elect a remotely “normal” person and not a fanatic, then the NDP will be under a big threat in the next election, despite Conservatives’ internal divisions and fringe elements.

For the BC-NDP, they are doing some things right, but I think I’m not the only supporter that wants to see more and bolder action in the face of adverse times, instead of holding onto the status quo. For example the time change is a small cost, mostly political, but was a big step towards making BC better for its own sake regardless of the lethargy of outside governments. Just because we’re years from an election and dealing with the sensitive Cowichan issue, doesn’t mean Eby should stop our big talk and big walk on doing big things for British Columbia.

With Trump and Hegseth in charge acting like impotent bullies, the Iranian propaganda lines write themselves.

Vote Republican if you want your representative to shrug their shoulders and say “ask Daddy Trump” when you need anything.

The whole sea-to-sky area is gorgeous.

I mean even if Democrats want to maintain some moral high ground, all they have to do is repost the Trump shitting on Americans video that he himself shared and just change No Kings to MAGA or any American that doesn’t like his forever war, his Epstein coverup, his gestapo operations or anything this admin is doing.

Marines, remember who you are fighting for…

Duh, in the USA, speech that is free of government interference is only permitted in the Freeze Peach zones, and only on Freeze Peach days within the Freeze Peach times.

As tough as that might be for the NDP, I think this MP wants to be with a party that has a lot of interest and intention to put resources to the North.

The PRS needs to pay the wanker down the street for the licence to act like such bellends.

Who knows if any bills will get to Trump’s desk, before cholesterol gets to his chest.

So capturing Maduro as Trump’s “Mission Accomplished”™ participation prize trophy wasn’t enough I guess. Once the Iran conflict gets stale, the administration will need to have another distraction from the Epstein Files ready.

Why in the world would you think that trump wasn’t on board?

Trump probably in principle agrees with it on any given day, but to go through with it, someone has to jingle keys in front of him for long enough before his dementia-addled brain gets distracted over the next gripe someone has to sell him. Like what happened in January with the Gordie Howe bridge.

Some of you may die, but that is a sacrifice I am willing to make.

Okay so this is how Narco Rubio or Netanyahu got Trump onboard with this plan. Blame Biden.

We need to give Mr. Talarico a helmet to prevent concussions, TBIs, or IDK brainworms or something.

maybe these aren’t lists of what DHS calls “domestic terrorists” but DHS is making a lot of lists. They allege to have found the leader of Antifa too, lol.

I personally don’t care and I presume most other Vancouverites don’t care about the partisan squabbling between the 3 ‘left’ parties. Hopefully they can co-ordinate to achieve cross-sectionality between their desires.

Look at the candidates fielded by COPE and OneCity (edit: in the 2025 byelection). Sean’s just a guy whose experience captures the typical life of people who aren’t affluent in Vancouver. Lucy’s background in safe street design and environmental policy could have totally had her on as a Green candidate just as well as OneCity. The label, aside from “Not ABC” doesn’t really matter. We just need candidates with a strong and promising vision to reverse the stupid governance of Ken Sim (i.e. the start with a 0% tax increase then figure out the budget method).

Are we going to war with Iran today?
