    1. How kind of you to post those, Jessica. I’m sure they excited you but they disgust most of us.

    2. Jessica’s Colon Yaniv, in a civilized country like Russia, those people would be arrested.

    1. It’s a good thing that they weren’t rainbow crosswalks. Those street takeover guys would have been in serious trouble.

  1. Gavin Newsom to balance out the $46 billion deficit by cutting $16 billion in spending and taxing the rest from businesses.

    Interesting that AP NEWS mentions the $16 billion in tax cuts but does not specifically mention the $30 billion in new business taxes.

    “This is a responsible budget that prepares for the future while investing in foundational programs that benefit millions of Californians every day,” Newsom said in a statement. “Thanks to careful stewardship of the budget over the past few years, we’re able to meet this moment while protecting our progress on housing, homelessness, education, health care and other priorities that matter deeply to Californians.”

    Careful stewardship…and this could be the next President of the United States.

    1. “Politicians are the same all over. They promise to build a bridge where there is no river.”

  2. Next time Conservatives ask you to vote for them since they are the lesser of the two evils, tell them:
    “Of two evils, choose neither.”

    1. So Doug Ford hates Muslim women, especially ones that don’t wear the beekeeper suit. Makes sense.

  3. Let’s just consider the headline a rhetorical question, shall we?

    As fall elections loom, are fears for the state of democracy in Canada justified?

    The problem “is not one that can be solved by finger-pointing and trying to apportion blame,” he said.

    So, professor, precisely how does one craft & apply a solution if you aren’t allowed identify the problem?

    “It requires that politicians think in the medium to long term and ask, ‘what can we do to first address the problem but also maintain the public’s confidence in elections?’

    Ritual seppuku w/ a dull butter knife would go a long way to that end…

    Fafard agreed that rhetoric and misinformation driven by populism isn’t new…

    As oppose to, say, the lies that {spit} Progs have been promulgating since day one. Right, professor? Right?

    He noted, however, that Canada does not appear to have anywhere near the same level of cynicism about public institutions…

    What friggin’ echo chamber is this idiot living in? Ah. Sodom-On-Rideau. {sigh}

    Fafard said it is important for Canada to address “root causes” of mistrust.

    Done & done, professor. It’s {spit} Progs, Lieberals, politicians, professors and other assorted forms of low life.

    He said compulsory voting in Australia was an example of the type of electoral reform that Canada could examine.

    Brilliant! Let’s take an already cynical electorate with no one who represents them & for-ce them to vote. Idiot…

  4. “He said compulsory voting in Australia was an example of the type of electoral reform that Canada could examine.

    Australia was founded on compulsory residence, so there’s that.
