People are already barely making end's meet. This new carbon tax hike is gonna fuck us all, since it hits everything. Imagine how bad groceries are gonna get.

I don't think the motion will work and PP knows that but the purpose is not just to get everyone's vote on record. The NDP stunt to recognize Palestine put some big cracks into the liberal party with 6 abstaining on the vote and one MP reeeeeeing about it saying there's no room in the party for him because he loves Israel and threatening to leave. This is a historically slim minority parliament situation.
The NDP members could also act on their own and pack it in to pick up extra seats and get a W for bringing down Trudeau rather than supporting him into his next disaster and scandal. Not likely, but it riles things up internally against Jagmeet too. There will be many speeches and possibly another Trudeau meltdown tomorrow. And if he caves on the carbon tax then he's a complete, total bitch. Solid 10/10 trolling with no strategic downside for Conservatives.

That seems to be daily occurrence because Trudeau is a total drama queen. Quite fitting because that's the subject he used to teach.

You guys saw that RCMP report?
When even the government is giving up on your country and predicting disaster, things are pretty bad.

Says a lot about a nation that the government has fucked it so hard and so fast that federal law enforcement considers anyone under 35 that isn't making significantly far above average income with above average savings so as to be able to afford a home is now a general criminal threat and implied security threat to government.
They could be doing something about international money laundering, grand theft auto, fentanyl, etc but no. Their focus is on writing and leaking reports about how dangerous the "poor" Canadians are to the rest of Canadians in vague CCP type speak just to divide the country that much more.
By pig logic, of course the solution is not economic change or careful solutions but they will simply demand more funding, more piggy powers and more prisons. Better to strike a balance by installing a social credit system now before people, other than mud people from Palestine, start to step out of line and follow political leaders around to disrupt the fancy dinner's they are paying for with their taxes.

Waterloo drops Engineering lecturer in wake of controversial paper (Archive)
The pussies at the Star won't name him and the faggots on Reddit won't share the paper, so I'll do both. The man's name is Benyamin Ghojogh and the PDF is attached below. It is no longer hosted on the original document sharing sites it was posted to, so I had to go digging. I wanted to take notes and properly evaluate the claims it made while I read it, but I stopped writing half way through because it was doing a number on my head. This is perhaps one of the most autistic documents I have ever read, and I used to read and write math papers for a living.
Some highlights:
A sessional engineering instructor has been removed from teaching at the University of Waterloo but continues to lecture at the University of Guelph after concerns were raised about misogynistic ideas in a paper published in his name.
Formatted like an academic study and originally uploaded to an open access online site, “On the Challenges of Dating and Marriage in the New Generations” suggests “girls” enjoy rejecting “boys,” feminism is out of control and, under a subsection titled “Difficulties of Hunting at Work,” posits that professors should be able to date their students.
“Some days I feel really good about being a woman in engineering,” said a Waterloo student in the lecturer’s class who reported the paper to administration, “and some days I’m reminded that people around me still have these attitudes.”
Waterloo would not confirm whether the lecturer continues to be an employee of the university, but students in his class were alerted earlier this month that he had been replaced. A Waterloo spokesperson told the Star that “the University is aware of this issue and is taking action in line with the appropriate policies and processes. We value the feedback we received from our students.”
A Guelph spokesperson told the Star that they had received no complaints, but “are aware of this matter and are looking into it further.” The spokesperson confirmed on Tuesday that the lecturer “continues to teach at the University of Guelph.”
The university added that “our top priority is creating an environment where everyone feels safe both on campus and in the classroom. We take this responsibility very seriously.”
In emails to the Star, the lecturer denied having written the document, asserted his commitment to “equality and equity” and repeatedly indicated that he is experiencing a mental health crisis. The Star, which is focused on the institutional response to the controversy, has decided not to name him.
The Waterloo engineering student in his class said she was “horrified” when she read the paper that had been circulating in student chat forums last month. After discussing with friends who were equally alarmed, she alerted administration on Feb. 27.
“A man who thinks that he should be allowed to date his female students should not be teaching. I was uncomfortable with that,” says the student who asked not to be named due to fears of reprisals from the university. “It’s not fair to the female students in the class. I was concerned with bias in grading.”
Within hours of receiving the complaint, Waterloo issued an email to course participants noting the upcoming midterm would be proctored by someone else. On March 7, Lisa Aultman-Hall, chair of systems design engineering, sent an email to students, thanking those who brought forth concerns and alerting them that the remainder of the course would be taught by the co-instructor. “I understand that many of you want to know more about how we are handling this situation. We do not discuss individual employee matters,” she wrote, ending the communication with links to university supports for sexism and mental health.
Guelph, which launched women-in-engineering initiatives in 2022 to help increase enrolment, said it believes “more can always be done to support female students and other equity-deserving groups that have historically been underrepresented in STEM programs. We are committed to continuing to improve the STEM student experience and take feedback from our community seriously.”
The Waterloo student who reported the paper praised her university’s handling of the situation, but added her concern moving forward is that should the lecturer pursue further academia, “he may work in a lab with female students, or if in a tenured track role, eventually might supervise female students…I’m very uncomfortable with that idea.”
The sessional lecturer was, until Tuesday, included as part of Waterloo’s ECE Machine Learning Lab, where he was listed as a postdoctoral scholar.
A Waterloo student who studied under the lecturer last fall described him as a helpful, respected and passionate academic. “I feel everyone (who had him last term) is kind of shocked,” he said.
The paper originally appeared on both PhilPapers, an open access e-print archive in philosophy, and OSF Preprints, an open commons for scholarly research, neither of which are peer-reviewed sites or journals.
Complete with an abstract and citations, the document, the author noted, is “not a purely academic paper ignoring the real-world situations; rather, it is based on real experiences.” It suggests some boys become bisexual or homosexual due to being ignored by girls, and it makes race-based assumptions on the romantic preferences of immigrant women. It concludes by likening a man’s relationship pursuits to a game of Snakes & Ladders in which women are the snakes.
“I hope that this paper motivates researchers and scientists in anthropology, sociology, and psychology to propose solutions for the numerous challenges that the new generations are dealing with,” writes the author, who has posted other papers on philosophy and poetry on PhilPapers.
The paper has since disappeared from online. It was also pulled down from a Reddit Waterloo forum where students were sharing the document. Moderators for that Reddit community posted that they were told by the university to remove the document. Waterloo did not confirm whether the university reached out to the Reddit moderators.

This is perhaps one of the most autistic documents I have ever read, and I used to read and write math papers for a living.
Some highlights:
- He habitually refers to people as "boys" and "girls". To the point he even says "married boys" at one point to discuss married men.
- He calls women being nice to men without having any romantic interest "strange behavior".
- Men can't draw conclusions from the behavior of such women, and he takes great issue with this. Autism, anyone?
- He says some women get sadistic pleasure from rejecting men, and his source is basically "lol trust me bro".
- "3. I have heard this from many boys who have experienced it." Cool bro.
- He suggests readers watch this youtube video, also fitting with the theme of painful autism, to illustrate a point about women displaying an exaggerated ignorance of men:
- Some reasons provided for this include:
- That damn feminism is at it again.
- Female expectations are higher because of social media. This ties in with "materialism" and "narcissism".
- Some women want to be independent and avoid marriage as a result (girl boss shit)
- Rise in lesbianism. LMFAO.
- Some reasons provided for this include:
- He brings up those women who will say they don't want to get married but then marry some other guy a few months after a breakup.
- Of course, it can't simply be that no one ever knows what they want.
- He doesn't seem to get the point that chances are the hypothetical woman says this because she doesn't want to marry him.
- He makes a point about the role of friends and family in finding people to marry.
- There is historical backing for this, but he talks about it like they need to "accept the responsibility", which is pretty fucking rich coming from this guy.
- He literally invokes Oedipus to explain a parent's unwillingness to help. I'm not kidding.
- He uses the example of a parent crying when hearing their kid is getting married.
- This ignores the idea of a parent being sad their baby is growing up, and it ignores the similar phenomena that occur when parents have their kids move out or even start preschool. Obviously the moms just wanna fuck their toddlers. There can't be a better explanation to him.
- He uses the example of a parent crying when hearing their kid is getting married.

Yeah Im of the same opinion. The guy seems autistic and like a lolcow.
While Im not a fan of cancel culture and don't champion it, this dude legit sounds like a sperg and went out of his way to be a sperg in the midst of a country full of cancel culture.
the other aspect is, why are engineering professors commenting on social issues academically? Who cares. Honestly, if an incel is teaching Engineering, my personal preference would be to just note that theyre going to have incel views, probably hope that if theyre this autistic that theyre at least good at math, and move on. I'm not in his lecture for his views on women, Im there to learn about engineering.
If people don't want him as an academic resource, their loss I guess. Honestly though, the nation has bigger problems at this point and couldn't care less that women are complaining that their engineering prof is an incel. Unironically, don't you have bigger problems to worry about, like getting raped by a Pajeet?
Ever see Chernobyl? I feel like thats where we're at as a nation, and the debt is asking to be paid currently. Who is at fault for Chernobyl? Noone, everyone. Everone over decades contributed in small ways here and there, but noone was at the reigns, wanted to take responsibility, or realized the gravity of the situation or that someone needed to take control.
We take complex social systems for granted, and think we can just run them however and do whatever we like with them, and that the social fabric of society will remain.
I think, yeah- were at a meltdown moment currently, and as other threads have commented on Canada, a lot of people are probably going to scatter.
I'm looking at some people who are enthusiastic about PP trying to force a snap election, but I can't help but feel from this thread, while I want Trudeau out- isnt PP just stepping into being a Kim Campbell of his own?
Whomever is going to inherit this mess is going to be politically damned. Now don't get me wrong, someone has to take responsibility- but I think whats going to happen is the eternal "well cut the carbon tax, but were still going to import now 300 million indians instead of 500 million".
And I'm just like, I think we will have a government led by conservatives, but like that RCMP report, I think theres going to be minimal trust even in that and that theres a permanent cleave with the government with most people, at this point. Maybe thats the right thing, and I think it is, but it still leaves such a sour feeling in the mouth. I don't think the liberals are going to come into power for at least a decade after Trudeau loses, but there is legit no political change in this country of significance, even with a potential snap election.

The RCMP is peak incompetence because it wants to be a jack of all trades, but ends up a master of jack shit. I reckon that they and other police forces would be overwhelmed in a general uprising due to said incompetence. Our armed forces would be hard press to deal with it because how badly equipped it is (as we sent much of our equipment to Ukraine) and low morale. One look at the state of the nation makes it evident that it's not even worth fighting for. The federal government would probably try to appeal to the Americans and the rest of NATO for help, but they know Canadians are shiftless slackers and moochers because of our refusal to fulfill our commitments. If anything, the US would probably be off annexing the British Columbia and the Yukon for a land bridge to Alaska, then Alberta and Saskatchewan for our oil reserves and the fact we're not that happy in confederation. Not that becoming American is that much better, but it's obvious that Ottawa is weighing the rest of the country down and there's no motivation for staying loyal to them.
For all the crowing about multiculturalism, it only works if the populace is relatively prosperous and a strong central authority exists. We're already seeing GDP per capita falling and with it the standard of living so people will start getting restless. While the Liberals have demonstrated a strong authoritarian bent, I doubt that they have made any substantial investments into a security state to keep malcontents in check. Ottawa is far too lazy, incompetent, and arrogant to see past their city limits. @DiscoRodeo mentioned Chernobyl, but I also see shades of Post-Tito Yugoslavia where regional tensions can create permanent schisms that would in turn unravel the social fabric of Canada.

Multiculturalism is bullshit, unironically.
Maybe its the American in me, spending the first half of my life in the states, second half in Canada;
but the melting pot works, multiculturalism is an unironic cancer that will go terminal if left alone long enough.
You can't have multiple cultures in a region, because when push comes to shove and there is scarcity theyll be at eachothers necks- let alone some cultures just aren't compatible.
You can have a multi-cultural federal state, but essentially that comes with its own problems and a basic requirement is that the different cultures have their own autonomous communities.
Now I'm not saying that everything needs to be like 1950s America, but instead that the melting pot is the system that ironically works, which Canadian civics taught as being ironically too American and something to be rejected. Immigration should never be en masse, especially if the immigrant culture in question is incompatible with Western culture.
The melting pot is when you have a large pot of soup, of course, and you maybe add a sprinkle or two of another culture, and it gets assimilated into the monoculture. Maybe the spices change slightly, but its still the same soup by and large.
What we have is not a melting pot, its people just shoving brick after brick of curry into that pot of chicken noodle soup, and at this point, its not chicken noodle soup.
I don't know about prosperity or whatever, but yeah, if you have both a multi cultural and low trust society and then toss in economic depression, youre fucked.
I don't honestly care if Canada loses a foreign war, we shouldn't even be in them to begin with. I think my issue is less this, and more the fact that even a badly equipped police force can still shoot you in the head for resisting arrest.
My biggest fear here is that soviet meme where the guy is describing how after the soviet revolution, shit didn't matter, all the bankers had already left the nation and it was comrades Jamal and Cleetus moving into a shared apartment.
I'm more worried about the Canadian government doing the same thing with the Trucker protest, but with more force- and that even if there is a 'revolution' or what have you, by the time its successful, after all the chaos and desperation, all the bankers and companies would have rightfully left Canada long ago. Most already have or just don't come to this nation any longer.

When the melting pot up until 60 years ago was like >90% europeans, sure. Instead of carrots and potatos we are now talking about throwing in pocket lint, captain crunch, bugs, poop, other assorted things, and acting like the result will be the same.
