So the Conservative party, for the next election, offers: a) blowing up the economy to further enrich the 1%; and b) fucking over trans people. Wow, that is so appealing 🙄

You forgot: c) neutering the healthcare system to make it more like the US.

[–] MrGG@lemmy.ca 39 points 2 years ago (2 children)

PP actually lucked out there and doesn't need to plan to take action on it because the provinces are already doing a fine job of dismantling their respective healthcare systems

because conservative provinces are already doing a fine job

FTFY

BC's health care system is in bad shape too. Unless you're saying bc is conservative, which I would disagree with.

[–] Lem453@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago

BC government is doing more to fix it than any other provincial government.

Well, it's not exactly progressive.

pp's answer to COL is not to increase minimum wage, not create affordable avenues for buying housing, but to lower the price of oil. To create more pipelines to get tar-sands "oil" to market, and subsidize the oil companies to produce greener options.

This hypocrite is a corporate stooge. A fascist pig, dolled up to appeal to the dim witted. A God's man that will shove his religious shit down or throats.

Yeah, I'm triggered by this bullshit

And Conservatives want to be the gatekeepers over peoples health decisions.

[–] FunderPants@lemmy.ca 24 points 2 years ago

Anyone who thinks personal, private health decisions are safe under conservative governments are fooling themselves. It's all just timing and they're willing to wait decades to get what they want. A quick look south confirms it.

They want a small government.

Specifically small enough to fit in your doctor's office, your bedroom, and your womb.

[–] Pxtl@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 years ago

And your children's underwear.

IOW: Sorry voters but you can't have affordable housing or livable wages until we get rid of all the LGBT people.

If this true, we have been infected by the MAGA virus

[–] nicktron@kbin.social 18 points 2 years ago

We were infected shortly after 2016.

I love how they are all about bodily autonomy, until someone wants to use it in a way they don't like.

Social issues are not a distraction, the idea that they are is exactly an example of normative privilege.
