How about a mandatory “Product of” label like we have on food? Right next to the masthead.

The NDP is set to lose official party status. Do you think any of them will cross the floor to the Libs?

I don’t understand that reference.

I don’t buy into this whole narrative. There’s a 2023 study that shows very little change in men’s political views over the past four generations. It’s women, especially white women, who have swung hard to the left, and Gen Z women are twice as likely to call themselves “liberal” as Boomer women. Young women cited the following reasons:

“The #MeToo movement was a defining cultural moment for many young women, informing their views about the treatment of women in society. Donald Trump’s election in 2016 was another formative event for many young women, who remained uniquely opposed to him throughout his presidency. Finally, the overturn of Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court ruling that established a right to abortion, was a uniquely salient issue for young women, who identified it as their most crucial concern in the months following.”

The caveat is that this is an American study. But if we extrapolate to Canada, it’s women who are driving the gender gap between the LPC and CPC. Men are just as conservative as they’ve always been. The only difference between now and 1965 is that they’re all shouting about it on social media, whereas back then, they just bitched about it in bars.

“We were really disappointed to have to take this decision,” she said from her home in Vaudreuil-Dorion. “But we felt like we couldn’t betray our souls.”

Canadians really are on the front line of the resistance.

“Discussed” it? I’d be shocked if they didn’t actually do it.

Agreed. About 20 years ago in Nova Scotia, nurses were negotiating for a 17% pay increase over 3 years. The province didn’t want to pay, so they passed legislation taking away the nurses’ right to strike.

They walked out anyway. And got their 17%.

The big cities in Texas are pretty blue. I imagine they make up the 31 percent who want to secede.

No way!! I’ve been to Santa Monica and I never would have guessed.
