The "LOLCANADA" thread...again
So what's new?
I've noticed the Liberals are now ahead in all major polls and Trudeau hasn't even started to campaign yet
Its definitely bad for the global population but in a world where were being tariffed on both sides by China and the United states where's the motivation when it will disproportionately effect them. Humankind is still in the tribal era and big liberal dreams are not yet realistic. its definitely good to aim for them tho but it just reminds me of the beauty pageant game where liberals expect the correct logical outcome (stopping climate change) without considering human fault/idiots . I was kind of a communist when i was a kid but you know I grew up and realized what's possible vs what should be
lol I guess climate denialist isn't quite the right term for someone who is actually cheering on climate change as a really good thing full of positives.

Climate Barbie has a new book out
A quote from the book
The Prime Minister was aloof and just didn't seem interested in his ministers or caucus members besides his childhood friends, Dominic Leblanc and Marc Miller
No surprise Trudeau doesn't like strong women and why didn't you speak out while in cabinet? Oh right your pension

You are the problem.
You.
I get it that you LOVE that she trashed trudeau. But she also trashed you.
In "Climate Barbies" own words
In September 2017, as we sat in the overcrowded lobby of our nondescript midtown New York hotel after a long day at the United Nations, I looked at my phone and saw that my Twitter feed had exploded. I scrolled through and quickly figured out why. Gerry Ritz, a former Conservative minister and current member of Parliament, had taken a shot at me online by referring to me as Climate Barbie.
It wasn’t the first time I’d heard that insult. It started soon after I became a minister and the label was coined by Rebel Media, a rage-farming far-right platform whose business model is largely based on attacking progressive politicians and real journalists and then suing anyone who dares call them out. I was one of their favourite targets. In fact, there was an active campaign against me, led by right-wing rage-farming outlets and amplified by their followers, that started basically the moment I was sworn in.
Being called Climate Barbie might not seem so bad especially after the blockbuster Barbie movie, where director Greta Gerwig helped recast Barbie in a feminist light. But this was way before that, and I certainly didn’t appreciate being called a Barbie. I never liked or played with Barbies, and I didn’t look or act like one. Ritz was trying to make me out as a bimbo: a woman who didn’t have the brains for the job and who’d been picked solely because of her gender and blonde hair. And it was layered with climate denial. He didn’t believe the science behind climate change. I had to hand it to him: misogyny and climate denial all wrapped up in one stupid viral tweet.
I’d done a good job until then of ignoring the hateful, sexist, and too-often violent tweets against me. My team, made up of a lot of smart, strong women, were protective of me and didn’t want me to see all of it, much less respond. Their logic, which wasn’t wrong, was that a response would bring even more attention to the attacks and likely increase them.
I couldn’t let it go. I expected a backlash from the haters on social media, but I knew I could handle it. I am Irish and from Steeltown. I’d learned to stand up to bullies. Ritz was trying to discredit me and knock me off my game—but that wasn’t going to happen.
I took a few minutes to carefully write and rewrite my response. I was thinking like a lawyer and wanted to be careful but direct with my choice of words. I pressed “Send.”
“Do you use that sexist language about your daughter, mother, sister?” my tweet said. “We need more women in politics. Your sexist comments won’t stop us.”
It went viral. There were some haters, but regular people, many who had followed my journey into politics, responded positively. It also attracted international media coverage. Clearly this incident hit a nerve.
Why do you want to be that person lozen?
Short term? AI. Isn't close. That doesn't mean long term things like climate change don't matter.
WE agree scares the living crap out of me
From the guy that made fun of Pierre's height
I consider Climate Barbie a compliment

Yet you stood by while two strong prominent women were kicked out of cabinet and the party. Oh please
That's one minute between your posts. Did you ACTUALLY read the link?
Because you'll read that SHE doesn't consider it a compliment. As SHE says "Do you use that sexist language about your daughter, mother, sister?". You don't get to be like lololol it's a compliment. No, it's a sexist insult. It started as a sexist insult. It continues as a sexist insult. If you want to use her words to bolster your hatred of Trudeau - fine - you're obsessed with him. But her words also should make you pause and reflect on YOUR language. And you gloss over that part.
Also wtf is this whataboutism about me making fun of pierre's height? Where the **** did you invent that from?

Is loyalty stronger on the left or the right ?
I am not sure how you would defend loyalty? Its a good question on how you would define it
A leader loyal to his MP's or the Mp's top the leader

Not disagreeing with someone in public doesnt just mean pension .
I mean she would stay in the caucus and still would get her pension shrug ….
Trudeau wouldn’t be able to make her lose her seat , it’s the electorate that can do that .

Trudeau can really make someone lose their seat maybe not short term but easily the next election see Jody Wilson Raybould and Jane Phipott . Yes they sat as Independents and than were done
Their crime standing up to Trudeau for an Ethics Violation

This is a really good example of how sexism works. If you stand up and critique a sexist phrase, the sexists say "poor poor climate barbie your (sic) weak". If you want to critique her policies, absolutely fair game. But instead you have fallen into a right wing trap using an explicitly sexist condemnation of it - at the same time you are trying to use her words to critique Trudeau without recognizing the criticism of you.
Quote it. I don't believe you.

little PP is still refusing to even say Trump’s name, trying to blame carney for everything. **** like this part of why he lost imo.
There you go little PP just as bad as Trump with Little Marco Rubio .

In that case why she stand up to Trudeau later on ?
Because she didn’t care about her pension anymore ?
I guess it doesn’t work every time the same way .

I think they both earned it . I’m not saying all politicians are in it for the pension . Though it’s sweet one . Also I’m not sure when Clinate Barbie was eligible for her pension
There have been a few women that now have wrote books disparaging Trudeau is that disloyalty

It was a speculation as I have heard folks on the conservative side state that . I checked and you need 6 years and she magically stepped down after 6 years .
