Going for sure!
I've never protested in my life, but I'm going to this...
My mom saw my FB share, and said she's coming with me...
What I find entertaining is some of the affiliated groups have been posting the "remember, remember, the fifth of November" memes without realizing that they are referencing a horribly failed attempt to overthrow a government. If I was in charge I would at least use an example of a successful attempt.
Bahahaha :rofl:
is this kind of like all the posts of people suggesting that there should be a non confidence motion and thinking that the federal liberals or the NDP are going to vote themselves out of a cushy government job?
Depends who shows up and how the media is handled. I'm going to voice concern of how the government is handling electricity. Coal phase out. New gas rates. Subsidies to green sources.
Does anyone else find it ironic that they are going to alter the market tof make green projects economical but at the same time challenging courts to say that previous agreements were illegal.
What happens in 3 years when the government allows the market to be competit I've again. Will the wind and solar producers say "oh no worries". No they will have agreements so they can be profitable well after we are rid of the NDP.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I'm not sure what you are asking.Quote:

I'd say it is more along the lines of showing the NDP the amount of discontent towards their policies and actions so far. They are a political entity whose goal is to get reelected in 2019, if they see that in at risk, they might change their path forward based on what the population wants.Quote:

Why bother. They know. They don't care.Quote:

The only way rallies work is if there's violence.

Guess what everyone, "we" voted them in lol, its not like they stormed the castle and took over the power.
Seems kind of silly to me. NDP was majorially elected.
Meaning that you have been voted off the island and are screaming to get back on, but two people are pushing you out.
That being said, if you picked Yellow (instinct) as your pokemon go team, which is being unnaturally penalized - I believe in the idea that you have to live with that choice.
Disrespect democracy because for four years out of your life other people don't agree with you? Bah. I put up with seventeen years of that POS Rob Anders.
PS: I'm actually looking forward to seeing a few 900 to 2,200 horsepower electric delivery vans.
I think the NDP already knows they are done next election, and they will not relinquish their power until the next one. Nothing against anyone who is frustrated, but talk about an exercise in futility.
Now that we have 2 right of center parties, and 2 left of center parties, the NDP is likely to win the next election.
I learned a valuable lesson, NEVER EVER vote strategically. Vote for who you support.
Everybody demands change and then change happens and people arent happy.. (brexit, NDP)..grass always seems greener on the other side and now our province will be the next flint michigan if these NDP clowns keep doing what theyre doing. Hopefully Kenney and Jean can work something out for the sake of our province.
Detroit has been declining since the 50s, and flip flopping on party affiliations since. My take away from that is, when it's your time, your political colour of the week can't save you.
"We" being only 42% of voters, but they get 62% of seatsQuote:

They won the election under the system that was in place at the time of that election. Nothing shady or underhanded about that. In fact, the system is pretty much designed to produce that kind of result.
It's easy to cry foul when your chosen party didn't win, but it's a bit like a preschooler crying about life not being fair. No other party received more votes either, so it's not like it was some kind of surprise.

And surprisingly, aren't the NDP on board with election reform, with the CPC against?
