This has always been the case with the right wing. They believe that wealthy white straight cismen are the perfect expression of humanity, and everyone who deviates from that mold should be punished. Their "freedom" exists only for people they regard as the top of the hierarchy and basically consists of the freedom to be greedy assholes.

I wish people would get this through their heads and stop electing them. It doesn't matter what the talking head du jour does or doesn't say—the Conservative Party of Canada's track record is clear all the way back to the days when it was the Reform Party, and even the most apparently innocuous member of it is complicit.

The Liberals are quietly corrupt in spots and sometimes stunningly inept, but the Conservatives are nasty. It's past time for the NDP to have their chance to screw up the country instead.

Can we just vote to have The Beaverton run Canada? They'd probably do a good job.

You know when you want to argue something but can't?

Wasn't there a German guy back in the 1930s who advocated for similar ideas...
