    Are we surprised? CBC seems to look at Fox News for its targets on quality reporting.

    Personally, no, not surprised.

    But I did find this comment elsewhere that highlighted where Scheer's speech finds some people:
    Andrew Scheer finished off his leadership in a speech where he directly compared the LPC's policies with the Soviet Union and other communist countries. He went on about this for the majority of his speech, declaring that Conservatives are the only party that cares about freedom and the free market. He attacked the modern education system as being biased toward marxism, and then topped it all off by telling Canadians to disavow all mainstream media and instead get their news from True North and Post Milennial, both of which are far right websites that are currently peddling the covid pandemic as a conspiracy.

    Does that sound like the Scheer you've been hearing the last few years? Probably not, because before this, he was very mouth-shut about his actual policy positions. Despite that, the signs were there. His inability to comment on abortion or LGBT rights, his voting record. People who understood the current political climate in the world today knew what his silence on those issues meant. Moderate conservatives wouldn't hear it. They would push back "when did Scheer ever say anything anti-LGBT?" "When did he say anything anti-abortion?"

    Conservatives are practically experts at keeping their heinous views under wraps by this point. If Scheer is going to be remembered for anything, it should be for this speech. The best example to point to of what "moderate" conservatives really think

    Am I correct in assuming that the Saskatchewan Party is a bad party?

    For my work, we manage the telephone number inventory for Canada (we assign blocks the middle 3 digits of your phone number to a phone company and that gives them 10,000 phone numbers to assign to their customers). We are getting messages from angry Saskatchewan residents because they are getting calls from Saskatchewan Party people and, when asked where they got the individual's cell number, the phone person is saying they got it from my organization "in compliance with the regulations set out by the CRTC." which is a straight up lie because we do not have that information.

    My guess is they are just robocalling everybody in Saskatchewan and saying they got the number from us which is great when we get to field the angry responses.

    ...they're the governing party of Saskatchewan and have been since 2007. (In fairness, I didn't know this either. How little does most of Canada know about Saskatchewan politics.)

    Anyway, they're described as being centre-right, which in combination with the above makes me think their current attitude is "we're solidly in power and thus the rules do not apply to us."

    He learned the lessons of the Harper years well. As long as you don't say it out loud, you can be in a position to win a majority and then do whatever you want.

    Related to police oversight:

    https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/winnipeg-police-taser-death-cadets-notes-decision-1.5701016

    Basically, the Winnipeg police tased a person who became unresponsive and died. Manitoba has an independent investigative unit (IIU) that handles the investigation of potential police related misconduct. While investigating the incident, IIU discovered that police cadets were the first to arrive on the scene and had taken notes. Naturally, they asked for the notes and the police refused, arguing that since the cadets were not actually police officers the IIU did not have any authority over them (and further argued that the notes might be self-incriminating). This led to a court battle in which a ruling came down that while the cadets themselves are indeed outside of the IIU's jurisdiction (which the judge noted was a significant oversight in the law), their notes are in fact in the possession of the police (the reason they take them is to hand them over to their supervisors, aka the actual police, after their shifts) and that the police have no discretionary power over disclosure to the IIU.

    Speaking of police: Announcing a new police training program adapted to the needs of First Nations people! One of the 12 CEGEPs in Québec offering the police training program will begin offering this new certification in 2021. It is designed to give non-FN students the tools needed to intervene within FN communities, and FN students a training more adapted to their environment. Québec FN leaders are hailing this as a historic moment.

    Given everything else going on, it's nice having some good news involving the police for a change.
    The Montreal City PD spoke out against budget cuts to their department with "nice city you got there, it'd be a shame if something happened to it", new guidelines to make police random stops less racialized were passed by the province suddenly and discretely with no public consultation and no input from racial communities, and the province announced they would end the practice of "inconveniencing" the public by automatically annexing police reports to coroner reports when we inquire about crimes and police interventions and replace it with a "convenient" system for individuals to request police reports from the police directly and personally.

    Erin O'Toole's first week as Tory leader is sure ending on a high point: Conservative MP Kerry-Lynne Findlay expressed 'alarm' over 2009 video of then journalist Chrystia Freeland interviewing George Soros.

    I'd really like the CPC to be a reasonable alternative to the Liberals, but that's just not going to happen until it weeds out the crazies, the racists, and the dicks.

    I want as many of the national parties as possible to be a reasonable choice. Unless there's a far more significant schism than the PPC and Wexit Party have managed, the CPC is going to be around for a long time. That being the case, it'd be nice if the Tories would stop emulating the Republicans so damn much.

    It's not going to happen at all. These people are all that's left in the CPC and ther right in general at this point. They are locked in and brainwashed by their closed information network, which is constantly radicalizing them further. "Less of those people" is not a solution. We see that in the USA. They don't try to expand their voter base, they try to restrict (legally or not) everyone else's. "Costs them political power" is also not a solution, they thrive from the victim complex and radicalize further.

    So long as the left refuses to consider right-wing radicalization as a real problem and fight it head-on and instead keep sweeping it under the "freedom of speech" rug, there will be no solution.

    We sourced 90% of our back to school maks from Old navy for apparently "a great deal" and I can only assume they sent us all the lost leaders.

    Now this is interesting... The Bloc has openly given up on dealing with Trudeau, and is officially requesting - and getting - meetings with Freeland instead. They say she has a better understanding of ongoing political issues, and being the Finance Minister at the eve of a massive economic recovery effort she is the more important person to talk with.

    With the Throne Speech coming up, this is important. The CPC has already announced it will be voting against it no matter what, because of course they did. The NDP is on the fence - they are financially the worst-prepared party for a snap election, but they run on optimism and dreams and voted against the previous Throne Speech, so who knows what they'll do. This leaves the fate of the Government in the hands of the Bloc, and the Bloc's animosity is with Trudeau personally, not with the Liberal Government. If they develop a good working relationship with Freeland and make a deal with her, they will vote for the Speech.

    A charismatic Liberal PM smeared by a minor scandal blown out of proportion losing his grasp on power to a finance minister is also a familiar story...

    In other news, the CPC has their shadow cabinet fully in place. Glad they put Polievre on Pandemic Finance.

    Found this interview interesting.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWRkSIo1e5c

    I was nodding along for the most part and was even mildly inspired at the top of the interview, but he lost me at his 100% wealth tax proposal and total freeze on new oil exploration. It's not that I necessarily disagree with him, it's that those two proposals are completely non-realistic and will get a violent reaction from even moderate leftists. These kinds of proposals would require not just an upheaval of Canadian political will, but global political will, and risk doing some real damage to Canadian economic stability. If he has a plan on how to keep Canada going as a global political force without the support of mega-capitalists, I would love to see it, but I can't believe that that's a possibility within the current economic climate, whether I like it or not (and I don't).

    I do agree somewhat about needing to disentangle ourselves from dependence on the US, both economically and politically, but that would first require us to secure cast-iron alliances with other superpowers that more closely align with our political interests before we commit to doing that, or we would find ourselves in an extremely vulnerable position. He's not wrong, but woah would that be tricky to realistically pull off.

    I was wondering, is there any precedent for a federal government like ours to negotiate trade deals with a neighboring state, as opposed to federal, government? Is that a thing that can happen? Like, could we potentially negotiate a trade deal directly with California, or do we HAVE to go through the White House? Forgive my newbness, I am not an expert on international trade law.

    I don't know about that. I haven't seen any detailed leader vs. party breakdowns, but what I've seen so far seems to show Trudeau was scorched by the WE scandal more than the LPC. Trudeau's strengths also seem to be fading. He's got charisma, sure, but that fades as people get used to him. He's got a famous last name, sure, but that also fades as comparisons between him and his father increasingly leave him looking bad. He doesn't project an image of competence as he stumbles from gaffe to gaffe, and doesn't have the PR and public speaking skills to get back on top. The nightmare of the Harper Dark Age has already faded from public memory thanks to a very deliberate media blackout on the topic. The CPC and Conservative MSM have been relentlessly attacking Trudeau as a person rather than the LPC, and since he either won't or can't defend himself it's been slowly but relentlessly chipping away at his popularity. On the other hand, Freeland does project competence, she's handled some of the most difficult items our country faced since 2005 brilliantly, and she would get a new-leader poll boost with a multiplier for being the first serious woman candidate to PM in a generation, while the CPC and MSM anti-Trudeau smear campaign would have to start off from scratch (granted, some of it will transfer with a simple "we've always been at war with oceania eastasia" trick, but still).

    https://www.ekospolitics.com/index.php/2020/07/we-charity-scandal-had-clear-impact-but-may-be-dissipating/

    My problem with your portrayal is that it's based a lot on "the MSM" and another ethical scandal in a long line of Liberal ethical scandals. I think based on the links that the government's response to COVID will overshadow the WE scandal now that Morneau's resigned as that's much more likely to affect the typical voter, though it's hard to be sure with Parliament prorogued. I also think that people still love famous names like Trudeau, Bush (see the disgusting fucking rehabilitation of the most recent one in the States), Gandhi (Indira in India), and Kennedy (again in the States).

    I also don't think that the "Harper Dark Age" isn't being aligned as I've read multiple articles/heard multiple takes now that it's his failure and style that's resulted in the CPC having such a shitshow for leadership right now. Whether or not his achievements are going to be maligned by newspapers now is another debate; it's been close to five years since Trudeau took over.

    I love Freeland and I hope she's our next PM, but I don't think Trudeau should be counted out just yet.
