Something good to talk about the Liberal left?

1) Dying with dignity legislation.

It doesn't go nearly far enough, but it's going to take more time before the self righteous (religionists) are no longer able to incriminate those that wish to end needless suffering.

2) Legalization of marijuana.

See #1.

Bottom line:

Fuck off with your dogma.

Action on CO2 emissions and renewable energy.

I think I read something about them lowering the consent age for anal sex too...

Carbon tax really grinds my gears. Everyone in the entire country could die (i.e. 0 carbon from canada), and we wouldn't even really affect the global rates. Canada's contribution to carbon emissions amounts to a rounding error, it's insane we're trying to reduce them.

+1 for OP though. Dying with dignity and legalized MJ are both

Being no holds barred pro-choice as a party as well as being politically secular are pretty good stances, if the federal conservatives could get on the boat without keeping one foot in the water on those i think they would remove 90% of the public's criticism of them.

This 100%! Lose a few socially conseravtive ideals from a time gone by is all it would take to swing the middle back. They are too afriad of losing the religous right though.

I hear this rant all the time. Then I hear a rant from countries like India that goes something like "if developed countries that can much easier afford to reduce choose no to, why should we?" Telling India to pollute less while not setting an example is like a fat guy teaching you his awesome gym workout.

"Leading from behind" doesn't work.

Where exactly is the religious right gonna go?

[Seth1968]

Decriminalizing assisted suicide and pot just makes sense at all levels. The most fundamental of which is the basic human right for one to be able to choose their own fate without fear of incarceration.

Those that oppose such things often claim that their invisible sky friend gave us the glorious gift of free will, yet, they not only try to prevent that free will, they try to hurt you if you exhibit that gift. It's the epitome of hypocrisy. If you think that statement is true, then in religious terms, these people are not followers of god, but rather followers of the devil.

As far as the carbon tax goes, well, remember Notley going to BC to try and sell the pipeline? If she was truly for the pipeline, then she wouldn't waste millions on advertising lies that a carbon tax would increase Albertan's health and reduce Co2, but rather spent that money on ads explaining why we need pipelines.

Re-form the Reform Party.

But these are the people that volunteer, go door-knocking, give donations. They can't afford to piss these guys off or they lose their most reliable fundraising group.

But there's more to being socially conservative than just the religious folk. Just look at Kellie Leitch's leadership campaign for that.

Clearly a lot of you don't understand the conservative movement with your comments. A majority of conservative voters disagree with what you want. So take your shit elsewhere to some other party

Isn't that exactly how Trudeau got elected? Might want to rethink things at least a little bit if you want to replace him next election.

I thought assisted suicide was legal.

As for weed. seems like first world problems.

Thank "god" the religious right is slowly dissolving in Canada, and thankfully has in most developed countries as well - the American south is an exception though.

The whole idea of a black and white, left and right position is ludicrous. Life is grey.

The only "thing" that is universal and absolute is mathematics. ALL else is subjective.

BTW Rev, what makes you state that dogma is slowly dissolving in Canada? Granted, I'm seeing it when it comes to the Christian invisible man, but most certainly not when it comes down to the Muslim invisible man.

[revelations]

I would say that, as a whole, the number of people attending religious services - esp the second-gen immigrants, is falling slowly, but steadily in Canada.



Oddly enough, the The Pacific North West is a very non-religious area as a whole. This movement will spread East with time as more people realize that the bible is irrelevant in their lives.
