FEATURED COMMENT – Here are a few characteristics of a typical leftie

Here are just a few characteristics of a typical leftie:

Displays narcissistic compassion

Thinks harm reduction is working

Supports safe supply, just not in their neighborhood

Thinks giving drug addicts free housing will solve the drug crisis

Thinks drug addicts have a Charter right to consume drugs in public

Thinks it’s a Charter right to establish encampments anywhere

Set up a vending machine at the hospital to dispense crack pipes

Thinks doing the same thing that everyone else tried and failed will work

Draws analogies to Donald Trump for any political viewpoint that is not aligned with their own

Highly hypocritical

Invented and participates in cancel culture

Can be seen wearing a mask when mandates are lifted

Averse to scientific rigour when discussing the drug crisis

Thinks handing out even more opioids without a prescription is a good idea

Loudly proclaimed diversion isn’t happening. Then said it’s not happening very much. Then just went silent about diversion

Is typically OK with the stifling of expression that does not align with their own worldview

Likes high taxes and high spending

Treats criminals as victims

Doesn’t see a problem with the rise of disorder and crime across the country

Thinks redistribution of wealth is an economy

Says Pierre is eroding political standards, but says nothing about Mr. Singh walking into the House floor and doing a “come at me bro, I’m right here bro”, as if it were a UFC faceoff

  1. Classic example of how to kill debate, stifle any form of exchange of beliefs or ideologies, with zero interest in any kind of discussion of any social issue whatsoever. If anyone doesnt agree, they dont matter in the slightest, as all they can be is a sheepish follower and headbobber of the other side.

    Congratulations, you have single handedly destroyed democracy.

  2. The most imbecilic name calling claptrap I can remember reading on this site. Juvenile insults, empty of substance, this was a disappointing read, I expected more, surely you can do better than this Bill.

    Also…:

    Hates capitalism because – like nature itself – it’s based on competition, despite the fact that a better system hasn’t been invented, yet

    Believes in the concept of “free lunch”, and generally in everything that’s “free”

    Is a big fan of Government intervention, from cradle to grave, rather than supporting personal initiative and responsibility

    Expects from society equality of outcome, rather than equality of opportunity

    Condemns vociferously a system that has the right of population to dissent as its cornerstone

    Dreams of reaching a socialist Narnia where there is a chicken in every pot, nobody has to work, there is just one way of thinking and one party perpetually in power and unicorns are frolicking under the rainbow all day long

    I’m afraid there is no cure for this type of worldview other than an extended trip to North Korea, no cameras allowed…

  6. What a horrible thing to have published.

    I see all of these things on flagrant display across the political spectrum. They are not representative of right or left, they are symptomatic of people who crave power and are blinded by that craving. The curiosity which shapes a higher level of being human (and many other species, actually) has been totally blunted by the need for control and the illusion of security which comes from control.

    And I suppose a typical “Rightie” is someone who believes this crap.
