It struck me in the moment as an easy enough way to communicate the problem to the masses. I subscribe to a model of Chris Rufo's work: when and where applicable, you beat them with their own tools. Conservatives don't have a great track record of policy wonk-ing nor pitching austerity measures as a means to correct modern problems.

Fantastic work Alex! What you have described could be used as a screenplay in a future political thriller. That would make you an author.

Had this stunt not been executed, the Lib's mad methodology would likely have had seriously sinister consequences.

On a related matter, the two left-leaning parties' preoccupation with grooming adolescents is concerning. One wonders if that activity is an extension of similar behaviour in other sociological settings.

Thank you, as well, for guiding our eyes to the work of Ms. Slobodian. It is always a treat, and a relief, to read well reasoned political commentary.

Given the widely anticipated outcome of the next federal election, the winner of the Lib's leadership contest will subsequently be declared a loser. For a party determined to create a net zero society, it will be appropriate that its next leader will be a zero.

You flatter, Ted, but I'm happy to play a part and to rouse the rabble where they're needed. Doesn't have to be a spectator sport. I hope more common-sense-minded individuals realize they can close the distance to bad policy and those enacting it.

How remarkable, that the next leader to be declared a loser is looking like the first to never be elected or hold a seat in the House...

Loved this, Alex -- second incarnation of the jerry cans (may they live forever).

Omar Alghabra for PM! If the Democrats can have Kamala so can we. 🤣🤣

I'm quite fond of the Indian-born back-bencher who seems to hate our country and has voted against the foreign agent registry, who doesn't speak French (or much English, for that matter). May as well go maximum chaos.

He somehow still has more charisma than Mark Carney.

So does a back bench, despite being wooden.

Omar who brought in a hate preacher and then pretended he didn’t know his hateful racist misogynistic views.

Par for the course for the "whoops we invited a Nazi to Parliament" crowd.

I've read a review of the former Galacia SS division solider being a deep state?Biden WF way of warning the green goblin (Zel.) to back down and behave. Before that remember the North Korean levels of adoration he received in the US Congress? Disgusting

Also the spat we had with India might also have been along the same geopolitical line to warm Modi to stop being friends with Russia. One can't forget how utterly insignificant we are in the world of geopolitics.

we probably have no way of finding out but I bet the Chinese consulate gets mail from the party for the next several years now because once your address is on a partys mailing list, its not getting off

*Whistles and walks away in the other direction*

They now have one heck of a (deserved) mailing-list issue to clean up:

If you can be sued for telling the truth and exposing Liberal hypocrisy then the law is an ass and needs to be changed.

I agree, but as we've seen over the last few years, our legal precedents haven't been worth the paper they're printed on. Far-left judges have become just as big of a problem as bench vacancies, sentencing delays and suspensions, and Liberal changes to the criminal code.

Keep testing those fences, Alex!

I'll keep the virtual popcorn warm and buttery for the inevitable Lieberal gong show.

Well done Canadians, well done.👍

Cheers.

ps. Sorry, I don't have a Mass Effect reference for this post.😅

Well done indeed. Some deeply amusing sign-ups and shares out there. We are a creative group of thought criminals.

I'll wait patiently for the next reference. Maybe the homework -- if I may be so bold to hand out -- is to pick up another great open-world RPG lol.

Well... Let me see. Hmm...

I've been through Skyrim so many times that I should have crossed swords on my wall.

My Fallout 3/4 CDs are only good for verifying my games; I have them installed on my XSX.

I've been to Thedas-Dragon Age 1,2,3 numerous times and I'm now doing my second play-through of Veilguard.

Starfield was a bit ho-hum. I don't know if I'll go back. But, mods might help make it more tolerable.

Cyberpunk 2077 is freakin' awesome. I've played that on my XSX and heavily modded it on my computer more times than I can count.

Most of the many variations of Assassin's Creed have passed through my various hard drives.

Waiting in the queue... Hogwarts Legacy, Indiana Jones and The Great Circle.

I also, from time to time, visit 'The Elder Scrolls Online' and Fallout 76 Online.

Not to mention Halo... How can I forget the Halo Series lol. Master Chief forgive me.

Homework, I don't know when I might find the time.🤣😅😜

Take care, Alex.

Jealous of that FPS! Have been disappointed to learn in short order the PS5 can get to 60 but only in performance modes.

Some great ones, Peter! Is the new Dragon Age as woke as certain posts suggested?

Very much enjoyed Cyberpunk once it was fixed. Witcher 3 is on my Mount Rushmore. Some of the ACs are buggy and narratively clunky but I loved Odyssey, of late.

Sounds like you have a terrific setup. Those gaming PCs are something else.

Like many RPGs, you can be as big a-hole as you want. Dragon Age has always had a more 'liberal' moral system than some others, but Veilguard has an actual NPC team member who is going through what some people today are convinced they're experiencing.

Art imitates life.

For me, it's not a big deal. My philosophy of life is to let people be people; just don't shove it in my face all of the time. The game, IMO, strikes a good balance.

I've tried Witcher 3 but I just couldn't get into it. I don't know why, it just didn't turn my crank.

My setup isn't too extreme. I have an Xbox Series X which is an awesome console.

My computer is an Alienware Aurora R14 with a Rizen 5 CPU moderately overclocked and 16GB RAM. The computer's CPU has a dedicated Alienware liquid cooler which works very well. The graphics are powered by an Asrock Challenger Radeon RX6700XT which is also slightly overclocked.

This is a slightly above-average system which can run Cyberpunk at 4K and 100+FPS.

Cheers.
