  • Yeah, I think a lot of the parallels in Canada is that the failure here is with the NDP, not the Liberals or Conservatives. Overall, those two parties haven’t changed, but at some point - post Layton - the NDP apparently decided to go down that same identity politics road, while similarly abandoning the general working class. Maybe they felt they just weren’t getting enough votes with the latter and there were enough who felt strongly about such social issues, but FFS they could have at least tried harder to support BOTH.

    I’m honestly starting to wonder if the reason they’ve continued to support the Liberals is not so much a fear of z Conservative government, but rather if there’s some dirt the Liberals have on NDP leadership to keep them on a leash. Nothing else really explains why they’ve continued down this path of political suicide.












  • IIRC, it wasn’t that “she liked lipstick and dudes” but essentially that her thoughts of Narnia became “oh, that funny game we played as kids”.

    It’s not her gender or orientation, it’s that she lost her belief in an effort to become more “adult”. The lipstick and boys bit is more to emphasize this.

    Narnia is apparently like Neverland in this regard. You stop believing and the magic is gone.
