Not a huge Trudeau fan, but I’d vote for him over SkiPPy every day of the week.

JT’s main failings IMHO is that despite all the good he did (national pharmacare, dental care, and 10$ a day child care) did not get any media attention, and provinces run by conservative premiers tried to suppress the programs as much as possible.

He passed the buck on housing for too long, letting Conservative provinces stoke the flames and blame him - and nobody seems to realize housing and healthcare are largely provincial matters. There was plenty JT could have done to expose this, or remedy how federal housing funding is allocated.

He let our grocery monopoly dictate price with no consequences for Greed based inflation.

Completely sold out workers with a “flood the streets” immigration policy. These new people receive significantly more government assistance than “real Canadians” which rightly pissed everyone off. - FWIW, the Conservatives will absolutely bring even more in, but Fuck Trudeau amirite

Homelessness is at all time highs and so are shelter costs, meaning eating in a shelter you rent/own basically makes you the 1% even though you can’t afford anything.

He completely lied about election reform, one of the main mandates he had when originally elected.

The core of his failing is spending tons of money, but very little of it going to the people who need it while everyone became poorer due to inflation. He wasn’t nearly as “left wing” where it counted as he thinks, and we basically got Neoliberalism with a rainbow flag on top.

(totally support LGBTQ, but not wanting to do gay/trans people harm while actively selling out Canada to corporate interests isn’t “left” at all.)

Instead, we’re going to vote in SkiPPy, who is a capitalist laptog - to save us from crushing capitalism. Because as a nation we have strong voter apathy and no civic comprehension.

Also a huge majority of Canadian media is owned by billionaires with right wing agendas, so they shat on JT consistently for 10 years and the public is listening to them mainly because life is objectively worse for the middle class since Covid inflation made housing and food unaffordable for future generations while wages were actively suppressed by JT himself.

The people who own homes and like their equity explosion still hate Trudeau, but also continue to want their home values to explode but are somehow pissed properties they do not own are also expensive.

And let’s not forget crime. We have almost 0 laws in Canada unless you are homeless (protected from consequences for everything bad you do) - or you try to defend yourself/your property (literally the most evil thing you can do.)

Rapists and violent assault cases routinely are released, or don’t get speedy trials and there are 0 consequences to their abhorrent crimes (lots of provincial issues here, but again, everyone loves to blame Trudeau)

Oh, and his gun ban is completely assanine and does nothing to stop the obvious illegal gunflow from the US that are used in nearly every crime with a gun. Complete tone def waste of money that makes him the easiest conservative target. Maybe 5% of Canadians think it’s actually going to do anything.

Drain the swamp one way or another.

The elites will probably vaccinate, but their followers never will - it will become the official purity test of MAGA

Right wing backlash means you’re doing it right!

Clarity can easily be found in Nazi tears.

I was under the impression swapping out an implant was far easier than installing the system.

And I’m also talking about teeth that have been repeatedly drilled, capped, crowns etc - not a normal, healthy tooth.

These teeth are basically anchors for crowns, at what point is a new implant better than a chiseled out tooth?

Honestly, unless this tooth repair gel thing works and becomes available soon, I’d rather have some of my teeth replaced with implants.

I’ve asked my dentist “can we just skip the endless filling replacements, caps, crowns, and eventual implants and just go right to implants?”

They always say no, and I ask is there a reason why “natural teeth” with fillings/caps/crowns are better than implants - they reply with “But it’s your teeth! They’ll last a long time before needing implants!”

Yeah, so I’ll need implants eventually, can’t I just get them now before I put more fillings, caps, crowns, and eventual implants? Ain’t nobody got time for that.

“but your natural teeth will last a long time!”

Yeah, but they ain’t so natural after 5 procedures, and I’d rather avoid the ha$$le and just get the implants now instead of implants and a lifetime of repairs.

They always say no, and it’s probably because they make way more money fixing bad teeth than replacing it with something permanent

EDIT

Thank you everyone!

I’ve gotten better answers here than from my dentist, so thank you everyone for educating me on the reasons why.

Tyson can punch me up for 16 minutes straight, take whatever of my dignity he wants for himself, and I’d be cool with even 10 million.

The world isn’t going to shit because people are willing to entertain others for serious money.

This isn’t aimed at the idiots who would line up around the block and work for free to be called high IQ by Musk. Doesn’t really matter though, it’s all performative

They already know exactly what they want to cut, and billionaires don’t need a salary to realize profits from deregulation.

The job being “no salary” isn’t indicative of how cost effictive a volunteer public servant could be - it is a dinner bell for the wealthy

“as it would require congressional action to accomplish legally”

I’m absolutely certain the most crime ridden, corrupt, untouchable person in history who is exclusively fueled by revenge and powerlust would be successfully confined by the law after the supreme court explicitly stated that doesn’t matter for presidents.

Yup, he sure learned his lesson that rules and laws absolutely apply to him and there’s no point in trying to outrun justice if you’re wealthy and connected.

Honestly, blame the media for this one.

They talked about project 2025 for maybe 10 days and spent the rest of the time ignoring the absolute fact that concrete steps are being taken across the board to end democracy and impose a Christian theocracy as fast as possible.

There was no concentrated effort to warn Americans of the very real threat Trump is, and what absolutely will happen if he won the election.

All the public saw was a witch hunt against Trump that went nowhere as he promised to be a dictator and change the fundamental structure of the United stated to further billionaire interests, and the actual reality of this was never explicitly stated.

News media is responsible for educating the population, with standards on the quality and accuracy of the information, but neither side will ever do any such thing.

Both political parties and every news medium are completely corporately owned and will never platform something that threatens their control.

Hate to break it to ya, but believing things that are easily, verifiably, false because you prefer the narrative is very “IN” right now.

We left confirmation bias in the rear view mirror and are now actively embracing reality speculation where anything can be true/false if more than one person/bot agrees with it.

To be fair, if everything in the system leading up to the school is lead free there should be minimal leeching only happening in the school pipes.

If the pipes in the school have any sediment buildup sequestering the lead from the water there would be little to no leeching.

Definitely looks bad when you say “keep lead pipes in schools” but the reality is still something like “95% of lead removed from water coming out of school taps”

Also, might make schools likely to remove lead pipes if the system is lead free. No point in removing lead pipes from a school if there’s +20 miles of lead pipe leading to/from the school

Not yet we’re not!

Still plenty of nature to kill before humanity cannot survive in any capacity without corpo supply chains.

If you’re breathing free air, drinking real water, and actual food can grow out of the ground we’re comparably in cyber paradise given how much worse AI spycraft and corporate ownership will worsen everything exponentially for the non-connected over the next decades

I’ve never seen the law applied to the wealthy in a way that might actually influence future behaviour (and not for the worst??!)

Killing education is definitely a big part of it, but controlling every news source in huge areas and pumping outright lies and disinformation 24/7 can eventually break down anyone living in that environment.

These people desperately cling to hierarchy. Bad people go to jail, good people don’t.

These people never hear about Trump being bad, and only see him slip though the law effortlessly.

All they see is Trump being innocent and not getting in trouble at all, ever, for anything. Half of all politics and nearly all Media hide or obfuscate Trump’s insanity and incompetence.

So many voters see a president everyone they know and talk to adores, getting dragged by Democrats to no effect.

“If he was guilty he’d be in Jail, but since he’s not in jail Democrats must be liars and everything Republicans say about him is true.”

Easy, thoughtless conclusions that reinforce their worldview and solidify them as supremely correct.

Now, they’ll certainly move the goalposts once he is in Jail, because they will also never admit they were wrong about anything because if they’re wrong about Trump, they’re wrong about their entire worldview and that’s something they are not mentally able to do.
