@human3500 @sbv @ottawa @dwazou but who voted for them? i didn't. do you?
@burnitdown @sbv @ottawa @dwazou Not me. The suburbs did this to us.
@human3500 @burnitdown @sbv @ottawa @dwazou I live in the suburbs and voted for McKenney. BP2 carried a lot of suburbs, but not overwhelmingly. McKenney didn't campaign much on suburban issues.
Looking back at the 2022 election page on Wikipedia, I do see that she was endorsed by Mark Carney. I wonder how that's going to work out between the MP for Nepean and BP2.
@johnefrancis @human3500 @sbv @ottawa @dwazou
there is something about her that i don't trust, and that endorsement isn't helping.
what is BP2?
@burnitdown @human3500 @sbv @ottawa @dwazou BeigePants the I and BeigePants the II... Watson and Sutcliffe
@johnefrancis @human3500 @sbv @ottawa @dwazou
ah, because wearing beige pants is the worst thing either of them ever did.
they're both white supremacists. maybe work on a name that has to do with that.
@burnitdown @johnefrancis @sbv @ottawa @dwazou In that case you'll hate to learn their preferred pronouns.
@human3500 @johnefrancis @sbv @ottawa @dwazou
what
@johnefrancis @burnitdown @sbv @ottawa @dwazou At least McKenney campaigned on real things. Not obvious lies like "fix transit", "i didn't take any developer donations", "Budget efficiencies" after eliminating those for the previous 15 years, etc.
@human3500 @sbv @ottawa @dwazou
no, i don't think it was "the surburbs". who made the suburbs that powerful? who amalgamated the cities?
@burnitdown @sbv @ottawa @dwazou Valid point. Mike Harris is the answer.
@human3500 @sbv @ottawa @dwazou
Mike Harris is also playing the same game as Stephen Harper, pulling strings from behind a curtain while they're no longer officially politicians. guess who owns all of those long-term care homes where most covid deaths have happened, and who got Doug Ford to deregulate LTC inspections.
