But they DO pay tax so they should have a voice since they are being taxed without representation.

Is that worse than the adults in Alberta repeatedly voting in governments that allow foreign companies to take Alberta oil out of the province for fractions of a penny on the dollar while failing to put away sufficient reserve funds to clean up their messes in the province leaving those adult voters and their future children holding a many tens of billions of dollars cleanup bill?

My main point:

No vote, no tax.

All 16 year olds pay into the programs that support the few 90 year olds. They're a pyramid scheme that takes from the young and gives to the old. 16 year olds are old enough to pay taxes and they are old enough to vote.

No vote, no taxes.

90 year olds aren't going to vote for education, childcare, etc. They have a few years left to live. 16 year old have their entire lives to live. Look at what happened in Britain. Old people voted to withdraw from the EU which disproportionately harmed young, mobile professionals.

If the Magazis approved this it is 100% bad for consumers.

80 year olds should not be voting on things that are going to effect 16 year old for the rest of their lives without 16 year old having a voice.

Civics courses should be mandatory. Misinformation should be prohibited. Politicians should be prohibited from lying.

This is nonsense. The Conservatives need to stick with Jenni Byrne and triple down on the angry jingoism and Trump style grievance politics that Canadians love so much. More attacks and DEI and the woke week definitely fake the difference. If only they could Conservative harder they could definitely win more of us over.

Canada is broken!

Woke woke woke! DEI DEI DEI!

I will fix everything but can't tell you how!

I am not Justin Trudeau!

The real threat was the combination of Trump and a simpering sycophant Trump wannabe as prime minister.

The threat is reduced with Carney.

Tax cuts for the rich and benefits cuts for the poor to pay for it. $100 billion of additional national debt over four years of planned deficits.

That definitely sounds like a Conservative agenda.

"I know why, and it's because my president is threatening to annex your country."

It's far more than that. The Trump administration is lawless, ignoring and defying the courts, and trampling on the constitution. My son's school just cancelled a long planned trip to New York City because of the very real risk that one of more of the children in the trip might be held, handcuffed, and thrown in ICE detention for days or weeks. Under the current authoritarian regime it is unsafe for anyone to travel to the US.

Oh, we're going to do this again? We're going to try to pass the same unconditional laws that Stephen Harper tried to pass then spent years and tens of millions of dollars defending all the way to the Supreme Court only to lose because everyone, including Harper, knew from the very beginning that they were unconstitutional?

Just fucking great. Can we not? Can you just roll your neo-fascist lack-of-virtue signalling into a cylinder and shove it up your fucking at instead?

"I'm not Justin Trudeau!" - Pierre Polievre

"Neither am I" - Mark Carney

The 25% of Canadians that are thinking challenged won't win you an election when there's is a functioning adult running.

"I'm just like Trump" won't either.

I know you're a fucking idiot the moment you use the phrase, "woke ideology", unironically.

They changed the headline on this article. It originally read, "Polievre launches campaign with a pitch to heal, 'a divided country'" which made me laugh because he's spent so much time whipping up the white grievance that carried Trump to power in the US and trying desperately to ride the same wave of populist bullshit with the same message as Trump. When he's railing about the, "woke" and "political correctness" that suggests that we can expect an all out assault of LGBTQ+ rights, brown people, books, and anything else they don't like.
