Elections Canada's Racist Elections

[nostradumbass]

Do poor people have Kinkos in this "Canada" place, because that seems to be a major hangup for the poors in the US?

Oh fuck, most Canadians live to tell other people how to live. Ontarip is the province of boring rules. If Trudeau gets in he's going to ban protesting at hospitals and make it a criminal offense cause there were a couple of recent protests and it's an election.

We have become such a country of pussies it's embarrassing and it is almost all Trudeau's fault. I mean he literally said he prefers the term "peoplekind" in place of the misogynistic "mankind" word. He also recently referred to the pandemic recession as "she-session" and we need a "she-covery" as we know women were the hardest hit by the pandemic. I'm dead serious too. City people in Canada eat this shit up.

Lol. I was sure the "she-session and she-covery" were a voice over like a joke from the beaverton.

Then I found out he really said it.... . My God that was embarassing. No idea how he did that with a straight face. More perplexing is how the sheep eat it up.

I'm still baffled he wasn't ousted as prime Minister already. He has a record setting amount of the worst type of scandals and corruption and folks are OK with it as long as he keeps talking "woke" and says "I'm sorry".

You should have to take a platform test to show you have read and understand what each party stands for and its goals before you are eligible to vote. People literally let themselves get caught believing fake news and boogeymen stories to the point that they are willing to forgive this absolutely incompetent fool for anything

Center Left - Liberal Party
Center Left - NDP
Center Right - Conservatives

NDP is way further left than center bud.

Liberals virtue signal far left, while employing middle left policies

But then again, your political compass is a bit off. You cited CBC as the least biased TV news in canada when it is the furthest Left, followed by Center Left global. Followed by dead Center unbiased CTV and complained the non CBC ones were right wing.

We Don't have a right wing news station. CTV at rank centrist is the closest thing.

It's never been that requiring ID was a problem, it's when Republicans mandate it then throw up obstacles to obtaining it.

Inexcusable if true.

I think the democratic process should be as bullet proof and transparent as possible. Anyone interfering with it should be launched into the sun. That's where I'm coming from when it comes to this conversation.

I'm not as prepared as you to ignore the fact the GOP resisted numerous attempts at voting security legislation and are fixated on this one that specifically hits the black community the hardest.

Just like the prohibition on voting specifically during a time period that has been incredibly popular with the black community for decades. For reasons?

That must be addressed as well. No excuse for undermining anyone's opportunity to cast a ballot. More than one problem can be worked on at once.

I'm serious when I say the democratic process must be held sacred. India can get this right but not the US? And regardless of what anyone says, providing ID is a foundational neccesity to a healthy voting process and hindering an eligible voters ability to get that ID should carry a hefty penalty. Last time I checked India issues identification to everyone. Ain't that something?

It's absolutely true. They do things like mandate ID, then drastically cut down on DMV hours of operation or shut them down all together in very specific areas where the people they don't want voting live. They also restrict what forms of ID are acceptable; like a gun permit is fine, but not a student ID.

Don't think for a minute I'm ok with any such tactics. You have to try to set people up for success if you want to prosper as a group. That not only applies in a business environment but society as a whole. That includes availing them of the tools neccessary to make the right moves.

As for the student id vs vs gun permit? I can absolutely see that being the right call here in Canada as our Possession and Acquisition License isn't given out like candy by any means. Apples to oranges, but figured I'd provide a bit of perspective as to our differences.

Nice Dodge.

Republicans try to "solve" non existent problems because their ideas are dogshit and they know they can't win elections unless they change the voting system. The more people that vote, the less Republicans win. That's just a fact.

You're welcome.

I'm Canadian, like you. I can't actually imagine voting without presenting identification.

I'm just objecting to the overwhelming number of attacks the GOP is putting on the institution and how transparent their motives are. Do you think I'm imagining or exaggerating these attacks?

Lol, everything in America is a fucking problem.

Maybe Americas the problem

What a load of disingenuous bullshit lol.

When someone (you) is advocating for "solving" problems that don't exist ... the bullshit meter goes wild!

Unfortunately the Supreme Court gutted an important part of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, allowing states to go back to discriminating against minorities.

The fact that a minority of Americans created a Supreme Court in it's own image is discomforting.

Being a student doesn't mean they're a citizen or someone with voting rights.

Something to do with Donald Trump, No doubt.

I've done enough reading on the subject to realize you're not making any of this up. Even if that wasn't the case I have enough respect for you not to think you'd do such a thing.

But just because there's workarounds to the most basic of principles then those principles should be abandoned. A more robust identification system would have prevented much of the hullabaloo surrounding their last election and in my view trying to prevent more of the same is pretty important.

So those afflicted with the bigotry of low expectations should be ridiculed and those looking to hinder or compromise the voting process, including the ability to get ID launched into.the sun. Like most important things a single faceted approach is useless in my view.
