[Canada] Canadian Politics Redux

[Grey Fox]

No, I did not vote for Trudeau, I just defend him here.

[Josephus]

I hear prisons are full of convicted felons 

I always tell witnesses to hang on to their valuables in court because the building is literally full of criminals. 

And lawyers ;-)

[Neil]

Unlike Trump, he's better than all other alternative.

What do you have against Andrew Scheer?

That's an unflattering photo of him.  It makes him look like a little boy who got caught doing something naughty. 

My wife was totally in the tank for Bernier.

Not worth our time stealing the contents of your pockets.

Aww, I'd steal from yours.

Thanks.

That's his persona convictions.  I'm talking about party policy.  A politician is allowed to have personal convictions and recognize they don't have to apply to everyone.

Sure thing. And a voter is allowed to decide that a politician's personal convictions makes them unpalatable, party policy notwithstanding.

you're allowed to anything you want.  I'm simply allowed to call you a moron when you vote for morons.

[Grey Fox]

They are politicians, they all are morons.

No, I don't buy this line of reasoning.  They want power, either for its own sake of the sake changing things, but they act rationally within that line of thinking.

I kinda agree. Mario Dumont is a much better person now that he is only a radio/tv personnality.

And so logically a voter should choose the politician who is most likely to make decisions consistent with the voter's views.
