Comment on Justin Trudeau resigns as Canadian prime minister - live updates

Nowadays, the notion of self-sacrifice for utilitarian ethics is a rarified trait; and utterly non-existent on the right of the aisle. Run the thought experiment for yourself and simulate a republican or a conservative candidate doing the right thing. It’s good for a laugh.

Mulroney was simply unpopular, especially about the GST. People fucking HATE Trudeau, a deep visceral feeling he’s engendered across the country, and it’s not recent. (It’s hard to take anyone seriously that calls Harper a threat to decency)

Oh I hated Mulroney too… Conservatives have been slimy and repellent to my sensibilities since about grade 4.
Your lack of ability to take me seriously is, frankly, your own flaw to come to grips with. It doesn’t change my ability to vote or who I will vote for, and mine counts the same as yours, Peaches.
