    Now if only British Columbia hadn’t put the conservatives in power there.

      On the plus side, from what I’ve read they’re mostly old fashioned sane conservatives rather than Trumpian lunatics. Some of them are on the far right edge but hopefully the rest will keep them in check, the party’s actual policies aren’t too bad.

        Their electoral priorities are to cut sex education and hamstring indigenous treaty negotiations, which is nkt a promising start.

          Were they up front about that to voters? Those seem like really dumb things for people to choose to vote for.

            oh, VERY up front. “SOGI” and “DRIPA” are the relevant Parliamentary search terms. They don’t want kids to learn about TeH GaY and they’re scaremongering about ebil natives taking all the land from the poor white people.

            It is basically government by Facebook outrage.

              Do companies like Facebook and Twitter target the publicly facing politicians accounts with specific algorithms to incite this bullshit?

              Like nothing is stopping elon& zuck from specifically targeting Trump or these guys with nonsense far right rage bait making them think what they wants? Scaremongering them into these dumb ass positions?
