I have my doubts but I hope I'm wrong because I like VanHockeyGuy. NuckFU usually likes to get credit for going against me. Again, I hope I'm wrong and if I am, I offer my sincere apology to the Cougar Conqueror.

No, the guys came to your defense and I was wrong. I apologize for accusing you of stoking Vantel's rage. All fingers point to the weasel NuckFU, after all it was he and Dragon that complained to CaptEO that Makita wasn't banning me for disagreeing with them. Again, I'm sorry.

Fuk you. You had to wait until the "guys" absolved me of your accusations?

AND you post this for all to see?

I could care less about any of the above you rant about, keep me out of it or adjust your meds. Idiot.

I see Trumpy got his “Noble Peace Prize” nomination he’s always wanted.

And by the way I spelled Nobel wrong on purpose so please don’t correct me.

New documentary on Netflix called The Social Dilemma, will make you think twice about picking up your phone to check your status...

A quote near the end caught my attention, it went something like: “...critics are the real drivers of positive change. Critics are the true optimists.” I might have not gotten exactly correct, but that was the message. Thought it was appropriate to you lot.

See you in December.

Easily the best choice here IMO, at least they're not a reform party spinoff.

PC majority. Widely expected i'd say although I never looked at the polling once.

He just did a good job. Worked with other parties on his own, especially during a pandemic. He protected us and continues to protect us with the Atlantic bubble along with the other premiers.

He tweaked his platform somewhat after a year of office and ran while he had his well deserved bump.

It doesn't really matter what party one is from if they're the best leader, especially when they're a moderate.

I think BC is going to do the same. Horgan's polling looks solid and best to do it before the economic realities set in.

A quote from an op/ed in The Washington Post.

In the past 16 weeks, more than 50 drivers have plowed into peaceful protesters all around the country. Armed militants shut down Michigan’s legislature. Unidentified law enforcement officers heaved demonstrators into unmarked vans. Security forces in Washington used low-flying helicopters to harass citizens decrying police brutality. Protesters and police alike have brutalized journalists. Ideologues from left and right have been accused of killing political opponents. Should Americans be worried about widespread violence?
Yes. Political violence in democracies often seems spontaneous: an angry mob launching a pogrom, a lone shooter assassinating a president. But in fact, the crisis has usually been building for years, and the risk factors are well known. The United States is now walking the last steps on that path.
Partisans who would never commit violence themselves are transforming from bystanders to apologists, making excuses for the “excesses” of their side while pointing fingers across the aisle.

It’s so, so close to going off. November is going to be tipping point if they aren’t careful.

Looks like Covid was airborne all along.

The professionals in FHA have been saying that from day one but some people just refuse to use common sense.

Bullsh!t election.

All this does is expose the joke that the Liberal caucus has become. Wilkinson is not a leader and Jas Johal is gonna shiv him in about a month hoping to replace him.

This should get the NDP the majority they've been looking for but they would have gotten one next year anyway. The election after this one is the one they should worry about. They just made it come one year quicker.

Personally I’m not pleased to be going to an election a year early, there are other issues that the NDP have pushed through that I wasn’t in favour of, so as a past supporter they have me on the fence, ready to fall to the other side.
