Great platform but they lack direction.

[Uncle Sparky]

When founded in the '70s, one of our policies (never changed) was if elected, we would immediately resign, so the direction was always out the door.
My personal favorite policy was always the Trans-Canada Canal promise... we would no longer care about pipelines or long distant truckers.

Trivia - Hoseheads are a dwindling demographic. They had their glory in the 70's and 80's.

What IS a hosehead anyway? I only know it as an insult word from SCTV.

[Wezil]

“Hoser” is a slang word for a Canadian of limited intelligence and little education. Almost always a white man, a hoser is, to some extent, the Canadian equivalent of American terms like “hillbilly” and “redneck” – though without the overtly racist connotations of the latter word. The term hoser entered the popular lexicon in the early 1980s, when it was popularized by Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas on the television show SCTV.

Edit - I would add that it is rarely intended in a rude or insulting way. I doubt any Canadian seeing your use of it earlier would be offended in any way.

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

My dad was a redneck in the original sense - grew up working the sharecropper tobacco fields as straw boss of the child labor contingent of the family. The back of his neck stayed sunburned.

That previous link had this Youtube video. It's a parody of a government produced wildlife series very familiar to Canadians.

This gives Dinner another chance to expose Wezil's lies about truckers

You have to admit him foaming at the mouth and falsely claiming peaceful protesters where all secret Nazis was s stupid as it gets.

Cite?

Or will you run away again?

Are you confusing him with Serb?

[Wezil]

Almost every word of what he typed was false.

He's great at throwing accusations but crap at actually supporting them.

The Conservative leadership race:

This a battle between an old school Progressive Conservative and a Reform/Alliance Conservative. Who will win? My guess under today's political climate, the reform guy wins. Which probably means the Liberals will win the next election, unless they shoot themselves in the foot. Which they are very good at doing.

Brown has too much baggage, so he will be last. The woman..well does she even know what party she is in? Her situation kind of reminds of that Dave Chappelle skit. She would make an awesome Trojan horse for the conservatives though, if she downplayed the social stuff she spouts.

[Wezil]

Your prediction is probably accurate. I doubt Trudeau will run again so they will drop a lot of baggage for next time around.

Brown got knifed by the party in Ontario so he is damaged goods. The social stuff is Lewis' appeal to that segment of the party. The winner will be whomever the social conservatives throw their support to. The only way Charest wins is if he signs up an incredible number of new members and I just don't think he can generate that kind of enthusiasm.

What happened to Asher?

He was by a few days ago - looking something up, I think.

[-Jrabbit]

Asher is married and IIRC living in the Seattle area these days. Pretty successful in his corporate gig.
I think he's got dual citizenship as well. We stay in touch.

[Dinner]

Yes, he is back in the US last I heard.

[Trillion]

Ok

Well it was quite a mix of folks from Capitol Hill wannabes to folks sick of tired of how government is handling the whole Covid thing. I watched a lot of u tube live stuff and a lot of people, especially on the weekends, were there for the party. Woo hoo....loud blaring music and shaking your booty. Odd behavior for folks mad at the system.

[Wezil]

The only thing that they all agreed upon was their hatred for Trudeau.

[-Jrabbit]

...and Biden.
