This is what I was able to find. Haven’t had a chance to go through it but I can only hope the details are somewhere in the document.

Wow

Exhibit B.

There are obvious answers to all of these questions. The fact you’re asking tells me this isn’t a good faith discussion.

The fact you cannot answer these “obvious questions” demonstrates you are not here in good faith.

If you believe in your strategy back it up. Tell me specifically what your strategy has accomplished and why it would benefit me to use it.

Otherwise take your nonsense “ABC” rhetoric that I have heard ad nauseam every election cycle for 30 years elsewhere.

How effective has your “ABC” strategy been?

How has keeping Sheer and O’Toole out of office helped Canada and Canadians?

What “useful stuff” has passed through the house since 2021 that can be solely attributed to the current Minority Government?

What has the current Government done to ensure the CBC survives without it?

What climate policy specifically?

Good thing he didn’t go full stupid and bring it to a country with a death penalty for possession.

“However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results”

How effective has your “ABC” strategy been? What positive results can you point to?

ABC voters are the worst to be.

The Liberals are just as bad as the Conservatives, and are just as responsible for the state of the country today. There has only ever been Liberals and Conservatives on a Federal level. The only exception is the one time we had an NDP opposition.

This is a direct result of “Anything but” politics.

Vote for what you believe in. Otherwise you are just a partisan tool used to maintain the status quo, and just as bad as who ever you choose to include with your “Anything but” rhetoric.

When animals are over stressed, unable to provide the basics of survival, and constantly dealing with external threats they tend to not have babies.

Every medication on the planet has some “None 0 risks”.

Every single one of them should be put on the adoption black list permanently.

I have nothing to defend or of which to be the victim?

Hence why I asked “Do you routinely get this defensive and play victim when asked simple questions?” in response to you feeling “judged” and “like you are on reddit” after being asked why you support something you don’t like.

If you have negative feelings about someone asking you a question about yourself it is likely time for some self reflection. It is okay not to have answers to questions about yourself, but feeling attacked by those questions when you do not have an answer is not a healthy response.

It is heartwarming to be judged so immediately based solely on the source of something I shared. Lemmy is truly becoming Reddit.

Do you routinely get this defensive and play victim when asked simple questions?

So, I read it, and I was a little irked by the numbers. I shared it here and now I have the feedback I want.

The feedback you wanted was “Fuck Nat. po.”, “Postmedia is stepping up its Fox Newsification of Canadian news”, “Comments on /r/Canada are so fucking weird. Someone literally said “I was an immigrant turned citizen and I support this”. It’s like: now that you have your citizenship you aren’t considered an immigrant anymore? Wow. Edit changes “I am” for “I was””, “https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quotidien/221026/dq221026a-eng.htm ??? 23% of all Canadians are first-generation immigrants. Permanent Residents are legal immigrants. 48% probably includes some of these immigrants that want to deport themselves. What are y’all smoking?”?

I haven’t lived in Canada since around 2006. I try to keep up with the news because my family lives there and the talk about this all the time. I don’t use Google News, I don’t go on Reddit, and this article managed to make it’s way through the digestive track of the Internet to land in my feed, maybe on Mastodon.

While I appreciate a response, it doesn’t answer the question I posed. I also don’t care that much if you want to keep being weird about it. I was just curious as to why you support the publication after agreeing with the statement “Fuck Nat. po.”.

OK, I’m about to be very, very mean about your idea, so I need to preface this by saying that I fully get that it sounds perfectly reasonable if you don’t happen to know a lot of very specific stuff about how militaries, especially the Canadian military, actually operate. So, to be clear, I’m not trying to call you an idiot, I’m just correcting a misunderstanding. But oh boy is there a lot of misunderstanding here to correct.

I didn’t read past this point. Feel free to edit it and try again if you want to discuss this with me.

What makes you want to support the source if you do not like the source?

Civilian models contain identical parts to what is used in the military. Many weapons, regardless of manufacturer or model, use the exact same parts. Many civilian weapons can be easily converted into military counter parts.

At the very least the plan should be to retain all useful parts and weapons, while recycling or selling what can not be used directly by our military, instead of simply rounding everything up to be destroyed.

If ‘Fuck Nat. po.’ = True, why did you post it?

The only thing worse than constant polling updates is constant polling updates outside of election season that cannot be read due to a paywall.

I sure wish “right wing propagandists” would stop posting their trash rag every where.

Oh wait…

What is odd?

Columbia should do something about that.
