The "LOLCANADA" thread...again

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

liberal think tank article i see

The article mostly cites official statistics and to me didn't seem to have any political bias whatsoever.

Did you even attempt to read the article, or did you just dismiss it a priori?


Perhaps I didn’t make myself clear. Please stop interacting with me in this thread. Any other thread is fine, but you are not Canadian and we don’t need another thread of the lagtight show. I of course can not control your actions, I can simply ask, but regardless this is my last response to you ITT.


A Public Service Announcement:

Per Uke-master's request I will not be interacting with him in this thread.

However, I will interact with others in this thread who do not object to me doing so.

Thank you!

Wow I can imagine if folks said that about us CDN's posting in American threads. Why not just block him as I do with one other poster

I think its refreshing to hear the opinions of other folks on our country. Though the folks on the extreme left like the Professor do not want a debate

On the Pride Parade thing I had a friend post about a pride parade this year were the men were walking completely naked and thought that cant be true kids attend these events . Yet it was true as it was Seattle. Disgusting that they allow it

A funny thing is that Uke was fine with me posting here when I was agreeing with him.

Another funny thing is that the post I responded to was a post comparing the US and Canadian economies. As an American, it seems odd that my addressing that topic would be considered out-of-bounds for me to discuss.

Oh well, it is what it is.

There is this funny phenomena where conservatives endlessly search across the entire country - or multiple countries in this case - to find an example of something that edges just a bit “too far” for their conservative views then they can focus on that edge case and herald it up as an example to denigrate the entire movement. What exactly the edge case “think of the children” examples have changed over the years, but the phenomenon hasn’t.

Never had to search for it It was posted by a parent whom has attended a pride parade with her child . I just googled Pride parade with naked men . Oh the lengths I had to go to find it


“Never had to search for it” followed one sentence later by “I just googled” is quite something. But you missed the point entirely, about this whole phenomenon of focusing your political engagement with finding outrage in edge examples from multi-country wide searches. As long as somewhere, sometime, there is some pride parade where some participant acts in a way you don’t personally approve of based on your personal views, then you will be there centering conversations about pride on those types of examples. Back in the day the “think of the children” might be just two dudes kissing, but people acted just as you did then.

This is illiterate and unparsable, Professor, but congrats on getting the singular of 'phenomenon' right at your second attempt.


I'll make sure to carefully grammar check all future posts for those incapable of figuring out what a sentence means if it missed a word.

In before Uke asks you to not engage him because you're not Canadian.

I am still waiting on you finding that time Uke said he was wrong ? 😀


Lozen have you admitted you were wrong about “average median” yet?

I’d have to make a mistake first before I could admit I was wrong. I’m sure you will catch me in an error…eventually. But your inability to find such examples is a you problem, not a me problem.

I tried, but didn't find even one example of him admitting being wrong. (n.b. which of course doesn't mean that has hasn't; I just searched certain key words in his posts that might suggest an admission of being wrong about something.)


lmao I love this juxtaposition. On one hand you have Carney announcing this massive military purchase of submarine with huge amounts of economic integrations and just a really, really big deal.

And then on the other you have Poilievre parroting Hesgeth's "warrior culture" not "woke culture" in the military.

. Like you have one guy actually rebuilding the military, actually step functioning the percentage of GDP canada spends on the military, and the other cry baby trump style yelling about wokeness. It is hard to find a better example of actual leadership versus just pathetic culture warrior one liners.


Also in case you all aren't paying attention, Carney is flooding the zone right now. The BC MOA. The new pipeline announcement. The new submarine announcement. Undoes the prior era of senate appointments. Like just today we had yet another conservative MP leave the caucus to end up being appointed by Carney to the Senate in what was previously a super close riding - potentially strengthening the majority even more. Most people are paying attention to Canada but Carney is doing a LOT all at once and very fast. Good and bad. Right and wrong.

I saw a while back a clip where he was asked what was one thing he appreciated about Trump and he explicitly listed how effective trump was at flooding the zone to get a lot of things through.

Only thing I'm paying attention to is life is not getting cheaper but more expensive.

More Canadians using ‘pay later’ option as grocery prices rise

Good news for Canadians. We're now putting essentials on payment plans.

Your so focused on Pierre. Under Pete in the USA military enrollment is increasing while under Biden it decreased .

The BC MOU was a bribe to get the pipeline through and good on Carney. Yet another policy Trudeau was against. Yes Subs personally I think South Korea was a better partner Again Carney doing something Trudeau would not. Undoing the current senate model put in place by whom I wonder

Though like Pablito says life is more expensive and good luck if you need medical treatment


by Pablito

Only thing I'm paying attention to is life is not getting cheaper but more expensive.

As inflation is effectively always positive in almost every developed country, if this is your only political engagement you are going to remain not just ignorant but perpetually disappointed. Canada has actually done fairly decently on the inflation front compared to peer countries over the last several years. But in truth, the month-to-month cost of living numbers particularly on food are often fairly far outside of government control, the fuel price increase due to Iran for instance has more impact than probably every new Carney policy put together.

Given your core issue of immigration, you should actually be a bit happy here. Both asking rents and house prices have dropped as Canada's population declines.

The BC MOU was a bribe to get the pipeline through and good on Carney. Yet another policy Trudeau was against.

Trudeau: Got 1 pipeline built. Carney: Looking like he will get another pipeline built. Trudeau got zero credit for the first one from conservatives, absolutely ****ing zero. I wonder whether Carney will get credit for his?

Was the AB MOU a "bribe", or is that term only reserved for BC?

by lozen

Yes Subs personally I think South Korea was a better partner.

This is odd. I don't personally think anything. The deals were super huge and complex with many benefits and weaknesses to each. Being able to fully understand and adjudicate them is quite beyond a lay person's ability to judge. I have no idea if Carney make the right decision here. Why on earth are you claiming he made the wrong one?


by lozen

Oh I am just giving you the gears. I wouldn't waste your time

Fair enough.

Btw, I've never heard the phrase, "giving you the gears." I like it!

Not that I have to venture into the Canadian thread to prove how wrong Losern and Geezer are as they exhibit their failures in all the US threads but a simple search of “I apologize” with Ukes screen name yielded three pages. I did not look through them all as I am sure some were asking others to apologize but here are a few from page one:the...Forum: Politics and Society 08

Thank you for your research!

For the record, I NEVER claimed that Uke hadn't admitted being wrong about something. In fact, I performed my search hoping to find an instance in which he HAD admitted being wrong.

And yes, I love being the center of attention in every thread I participate in! I'm glad someone finally noticed.


Public Service Announcement:

Effective immediately, geezerchess will no longer be posting in this thread.

Y'all be blessed and be a blessing!
