We have yet another example of the conservatives having only short term gain and quick profits on their mind. Turner and the liberals were right when they said that we have been building this country east to west for a century plus, and that we should have continued doing so. And now we are seeing Turner’s predictions coming true, and a conservative sold us the fuck out and took the easy way Instead of nation building.

    Look, I wish I could give you an ironclad guarantee of how things will shake out, but that ain’t how this shit works.

    The NDP as they are now are incapable of rising to this moment. They need to be replaced by something that is. Maybe that works out, maybe it doesn’t. Playing it safe has gotten us fucking nowhere. I’d rather take the swing.

      Yeah, I think I’ve already talked myself out of worrying where the NDP goes next anyway. I hate how things went with the federal Greens but at this point they’ve still got as much shot at representing the left as the NDP.

      I’m smelling a theme in leftist parties, where good leaders seem disproportionately difficult to replace.
