i'm sorry, but it's true.

we need political leadership that is going to look these people in the eye and say it.

"you want your property rights? fuck your property rights."

otherwise, we're doomed.

you know who we should get to run?

samuel l. fucking jackson.

because that's what we need, is a bad ass motherfucker that's going to get the job fucking done.

and, he's in the right intersectional demographic for all the zombies, too.

"well, we could have avoided the sea level rise that destroyed the eastern seaboard, but we would have had to break our moral principles to do so, and so decided not to. see, back in the year 2032, they were going to pass comprehensive transition legislation, but it was voted down after it was deemed to be a microaggression against the shareholders of exxon. everybody agreed never to speak of it again. and, the water rose..."

fuck the fucking rules, guys.

we have a fucking planet to save.

we're not going to win the war against carbon with appeals to hoity-toityness, or claims that we have a moral imperative to act.

we need a swashbuckling cowboy that is going to break every rule in the book in order to slay the beast where it lay.

there is actually some unrest around elizabeth may, right now. it's about time...

what i want is to see is a party arise on the left that has no interest in christian morality and is rather willing to do anything it takes to win - and then govern in a way that ruthlessly promotes it's own agenda, at the expense of the parties around it.

i don't want values. i want results.

i was actually excited to see kinsella back in action. he seems to have a chip on his shoulder regarding trudeau, and i'd like to see him given the opportunity to let it out.

this speaks to a naivete in what we refer to as "progressivism" that is really reduced to a conservative moral principle. i am a potential green supporter, and i do not remotely care about "morality" or "decency" or "decorum in politics"; these are bourgeois concepts that belong on the right hand of the spectrum and have nothing to do with actually winning seats in parliament.

in the end, they'll look back on this as a mistake, as all these better-than-you voters end up voting for the mainstream parties, while the scrappers wonder where the fight went.

it should be noted that the females of our own species have a very similar reaction to dubstep, especially the varieties known as "bro-step".

this is what is happening, here.

what a farce.

as the last three governments have essentially downloaded or cut everything that there is to download or cut, the central messaging of the election campaign appears to be a humongous red herring. health care and education are responsibilities of the provinces, and most canadians know that. what the federal government funds is really left to defense and public infrastructure. so, are they running on increasing military spending?

the truth is that they think you're too stupid to figure it out. and, we've come full circle - this is flat out harperism; demagoguery at it's worst.

that's not to say that i care much about budgets. i don't. but, if you're voting for the federal liberals because you're concerned about cuts to education, you need to read up on how things actually get paid for. but, like i say, most people actually know this, and if they push this kind of cynical dishonesty for long enough it should backfire stupendously.

the truth is that this is a reflection of their record, or lack of one.
