I think there is interest and space for the NDP right now, but with all the chaos going on they are laying low. Until they pick a leader who sets the agenda, the NDP in government right now is a loose group of 5 MPs: McPherson, Johns, Kwan, Gazan and Davies.

Ok using AI to make LinkedIn slop is a hilarious use of it. I put in:

Whoops, I took your sandwich from the office fridge.

A little “gratuity” in the president’s pocket should do the trick.

The BC Conservatives under Rustad basically rode in under novelty in 2024. There’s a sense of weariness of the Eby government and a mix of credible and meritless reasons to not like him.

We’ll see if it’s possible for the BC Con caucus to elect a remotely “normal” person and not a fanatic, then the NDP will be under a big threat in the next election, despite Conservatives’ internal divisions and fringe elements.

For the BC-NDP, they are doing some things right, but I think I’m not the only supporter that wants to see more and bolder action in the face of adverse times, instead of holding onto the status quo. For example the time change is a small cost, mostly political, but was a big step towards making BC better for its own sake regardless of the lethargy of outside governments. Just because we’re years from an election and dealing with the sensitive Cowichan issue, doesn’t mean Eby should stop our big talk and big walk on doing big things for British Columbia.

The WMDs that George W. Kush was looking for.

Forget a backup plan. Their main plan was half-baked, at best.

The ships passing through get upgraded to spicy ships, that’s a plus.

(“Plus” as in premiums so high it’s practically uninsurable)

I think countries have found a better solution. Wean the hell off of oil so that whatever comes out of the Middle East–be it fossil fuel or conflict-- stays in the Middle East.

Board of Peaces of Shit 2 coming soon!!

Soooo Tucker, this “Democrat” silencing of critics that you’ve harped about for years and years… it’s actually Republicans that do it, way worse and on super false pretenses. Enjoy your reward for being a forever constipated-looking Republican talking head.

If your company exceeds >35% market share of an industry, the state should be given an option to take control of that company at a set price.

With Trump and Hegseth in charge acting like impotent bullies, the Iranian propaganda lines write themselves.

In places and with people you are familiar, you shouldn’t change what you’re doing because they like you for who you are.

In other conversational situations where you’re not familiar and you don’t know how to engage without being thought selfish or something like that, try the L.E.A.P. method. I find it especially useful for political arguments.

Listen. Empathize. Agree. Partner.

Even if you have your own idea in your head you want to say out loud, first listen to the other person, and empathize with their feelings. I know it’s difficult with your auditory processing challenges you have, but you can practice by taking a response a little slower and with a little more time. When people feel they are heard, they are more willing to listen to your feelings. Then Agree is for controversial topics or disagreements you have. It means to find the part where your thought or opinion aligns with theirs, no matter how small. Then Partner is either how you set a workable position between you and the other person, or this is where you can talk about your thought or opinion and how it relates to the main conversation topic.

For Example, Someone says: “My brother got bitten by a dog the other day.”

You are thinking: “I was chased by a dog when I was little, that was scary.” But before you go directly to saying that, preface it with…

Listen & Empathize: “I’m sorry to hear that, I hope he is doing okay.” After that you can talk about your relevant experience.

Vote Republican if you want your representative to shrug their shoulders and say “ask Daddy Trump” when you need anything.

Trump hikes Americans’ (Democrats and Republicans alike) cost of living “just for fun”.

Maybe this is another position the Carney government will take “with regret” 😅

The whole sea-to-sky area is gorgeous.

I mean even if Democrats want to maintain some moral high ground, all they have to do is repost the Trump shitting on Americans video that he himself shared and just change No Kings to MAGA or any American that doesn’t like his forever war, his Epstein coverup, his gestapo operations or anything this admin is doing.

Lol. Hegseth me boy, first you lash out because you don’t like how your face looks in the papers. Now you don’t like how your war looks like in the papers. Tough luck.

Marines, remember who you are fighting for…
