I've had sharts I enjoyed more than that game.

Fucking play hockey you turds.

Toch best be pumping those boys up in the room. That period was embarrassing. They should be embarrassed. Time to come out in the third and right that wrong. Let's frigging go!

Take a body or win a battle for the puck. It's not complicated.

Too much? I don't think so. We're a wealthy country (and lucky to live in it) but we do need to ensure that wealth is responsibly managed. That our people are cared for, our land and water aren't polluted in the name of progress or profit, that our rights are protected. I certainly don't share the current Conservative sentiment that Canada is "broken". We certainly aren't in comparison to most of the developed world after a global pandemic, global aging population, corporate profiting, climate change (floods, fires, crops) two idiotic "wars", inflation etc. It's a bit of a shit time globally TBH (especially for younger folks who haven't had time to build wealth) but as tough as that is, it has very little to do with the current minority government in Canada. This is still a very good country despite those very real, but global, problems. And the problems we do have, are largely made worse by Conservative governments historically. Unless people think they're magically going to do 180's on climate change, tax cuts for the wealthy/corporations (and slashing funding to social safety nets for the not wealthy to pay for them), being anti-union/labour etc are going to improve their lot.

It's like so COMPLETELY baffling right?! It's not even a difficult concept to visualize/understand, and yet MILLIONS of people ignore it and vote for them...?

Welcome to the club I just wish the federal NDP made themselves in to something more viable of an alternative. It's like ok, we can agree neither of the other two parties are great. They're bad and awful. Let's make a 3rd party but have rainbow unicorns for our economic plan and the biggest turd for our party leader!

Well can we agree that water's wet then? And maybe stop bringing it up as some argument "for" the cons/"against" the Liberals? They're both shitty with our tax dollars. The conservatives historically worse and far more prone to handing out tax dollars over to the wealthy, corporations (and frequently foreign ones at that, where the money doesn't even stay in Canada to @Boudrias earlier point). And more so at the expense of the lower and working classes that get their social safety nets slashed to pay for it. At least the Libs throw those groups some crumbs while doing so. We frankly shouldn't be rewarding either party with our votes.

I don't like some of their platform. Particularly I think some of their economic ideas are at best naive. Also haven't cared for their about face on the carbon tax evidently only as a means to differentiate themselves from the Liberals, over sound policy. And despite his party's success in attaining goals under this minority government, I think Singh may be the worst leader out of a collection of actual turds of the three major, national parties. That said, I'd welcome a minority NDP government, if nothing else to force the other two parties to do better. Really if we're going to have shitty fiscal management under any of the three parties, we may as well get something out of it as citizens. And we stand a fat better chance of getting something for those tax dollars under the NDP, than we do the Liberals or especially the Cons. It's kind of sad those are our three options though.

Both the Liberals and even more so the Conservatives are responsible for bringing in and maintaining those loopholes, tax breaks etc that serve the wealthy/corporations over citizens. The Conservatives are even more corporate/wealthy tax break/loophole friendly than the Liberals. Electing Conservatives to fix that is plain silly.

You two are the ones that keep bringing it up, while arguing for a conservative run government...

Other than closing tax loopholes (unfortunately unlikely given the power of lobbyists), the best way to counter record corporate profits is for workers to demand better compensation and a larger slice of that pie. That's on workers, not the government. Though the Conservatives are historically far more anti-worker/union.

Can you show me anyone here arguing FOR debt/deficits? Something which Conservatives are historically just as (more) guilty of by the way.

Que?

Almost like someone planned that to benefit from it...

We lost the Wheat Board to the Saudis under Harper too.

Good thing I'm not the coach. I'd be getting fined for my comments on the reffing for sure after this one. Charging? You should be fucking charged for your criminally bad reffing.

That's more fucking like it!

There it is!

Don't throw garbage on in the ice? What do you call that fucking "penalty"?

They really aren't though. They rack up just as much (often more debt), giving our tax dollars to primarily the wealthy and corporations, while slashing public services and selling off Canadian assets to foreign interests to pay for it. As I said at the top of this page, they're not going to help the vast majority of Canadians. The young people struggling in the present economy/state of the world who think they're going to help them are in for quite the rude awakening.

Is pickup going to be updated with 2nd round roster?
