Annla'Shok -- Anabaptist division

[Arthur Klassen @haikujester]

"Just sayin'!!" about the Canadian Federal Election 2025:

If you're voting Conservative and your net worth is less than $10M, you're voting against your own interest, at least partially. If your net worth is less than $2M, you're TOTALLY voting against your own interests. 1/2

@StirkRichard -- blocking replies to https://t.co/iCXEiTlKtZ ?? Don't want rational discussion? Reasons to choose otherwise? I guess you're an NDP operative and that's it, then?

[Richard Stirk @StirkRichard]

@haikujester @MadTyAgain If you think greens will save you good luck....

[Arthur Klassen @haikujester]

@StirkRichard @MadTyAgain not under the Cons though. NDP won't get my vote but the Cons are a disaster waiting to overwhelm us all.

[Arthur Klassen @haikujester]

@MadTyAgain So... vote Green! PR would have prevented this and it's because Eby wouldn't play nice with the Greens that he called this election. Whiner.

[Arthur Klassen @haikujester]

@DennisHinkamp @johnpavlovitz such a low bar.

[Arthur Klassen @haikujester]

@johnpavlovitz and... out! in less than half a Scaramucci -- another "Liz-Truss"-order of magnitude incumbency.

[Arthur Klassen @haikujester]

@patjinfo Just saying... when you see Real .... in the name of something, the one thing you can probably be sure of is that they're not REALLY the thing they claim to be.

And Ron Johnson? serialized self-beclowning for decades.

[Arthur Klassen @haikujester]

@politics_w_sami And FPTP forces you around into different ridings if the populations shift. I didn't realize how disorienting that would be until the last election cycles, on the border between Coquitlam--Port Coquitlam and Port Moody--Burquitlam.

@JosiahHawthorne Those other voices, wrapped up in patriarchy and power? If they aren't just agent provocateur-bots, I pity them for the bondage their mindset has them wrapped up in.

[Arthur Klassen @haikujester]

@JosiahHawthorne So love the Lord and in him love me too
And in him go your way
And I'll be right there with you
Leaving no footprints when we go ...
Only where we've been a faint and fading glow (Cockburn)

All I ever wanted in my marriage (and I'm the cis-hetero guy).

@choochloves10x @KeithOlbermann @GenFlynn The way a leader ought to be stubborn.

[Arthur Klassen @haikujester]

@JM_Whiteside @Dave_Eby @bcndp Emily Lowan looked like the lone adult in the room. Eby and Doerksen (the faux-leader) traded lies and evasions.

[Arthur Klassen @haikujester]

@WalshFreedom only, to equate anti-Bibi, anti-genocide-of-Palestinians with anti-semitism is intellectually lazy, or dishonest, or both. I stand as an anti-anti-semite in solidarity with JVP and other Jewish groups who can call a crime a crime no matter the perp.

@lotzof_gas @HQNewsNow @jamestalarico you can cook that for methane, too -- not as abundant as cow shit and chicken shit, but there are renewables everywhere!

[Arthur Klassen @haikujester]

@RealAlbanianPat If he'd just have been willing to play nice with the Greens he could have gotten lots of stuff done -- just not the oil and gas pipelines his co-Bonapartist Prime Minister wanted him to do.

[Arthur Klassen @haikujester]

@prymofthecrypt how severe will the cuts be when you realize (for the umpteenth time) that trickle down doesn't make up for tax cuts?

what used to pass for education now looks more like ignoration.
Take the people's money and slip it to the corporation... (Cockburn)

[Arthur Klassen @haikujester]

@GoodOlBillDoyle @richardzussman @ShachiKurl in fact, despite the scare-rhetoric, wealth taxes have not led to capital flight in other jurisdictions.

[Arthur Klassen @haikujester]

@BigCityBitty @patjinfo At this point OneBC should call themselves Fifth-Third BC -- name surrounding their place in the polls, no? Ah well, it had a humourous ring to it.

[Arthur Klassen @haikujester]

@patjinfo Ms. Lowan looked like the only adult in that room. After awhile I couldn't bear the pomposity of Eby and Doerksen (who cannot really be the premier, only the interim -- read the Cons' constitution) bloviating past each other.
