Do we have a politics thread to discuss things political?

How is that funny on any level?

The pee tape story involed chicks peeing on a bed, not him. The story was always complete bullshit from the start. Only gullible people believed it. It then became part of a lie and conspiracy theory that got mainstreamed that was always clearly nonsense. We now know that it was knownly pushed while the intelligence community knew it was all nonsense. It's another WMDs in Iraq nonsense where the intelligence community and the media knowingly pushed lies. Like that, it was always apparent to be nonsense. With time and disclosures, any doubt should be gone that this is the case.

So how is a meme based on a misunderstanding of a lie that you fell for funny?

Anyway.

 
This has me so unbelievably pissed. It’s one thing to intervene in a protracted labour dispute and another to use the nuclear option less than a day in to a strike and completely cut workers out of the collective bargaining process for a second time in a row. Fucking liberal government saying in one breath they respect workers rights while playing games that have the ability to essentially strip an entire industry of their constitutional right to collective bargaining indefinitely.

Strikes don't just happen - it has taken a lot of communication breakdown to get to that resort. How utterlly heartbreaking for them to be that disrespected.

You’re 100% right. Not to mention this is essentially the same government that caused the largest strike in Canadian history with its own workers with the essentially the same bad faith tactics Air Canada is using. I was deemed an essential worker so I worked through it but I definitely felt the pressure of it and we’re still dealing with the fallout. It also doesn’t help that the legal system is a slow moving beast and is generally pretty cautious about their intervention.
