@SemperVeritasX So you're saying the Conservatives, who will form government in Canada in a few months, are going to turn Canada into a communist shithole? You're saying Pierre Poilievre is a communist? Okay...

@theodorebukkake @jamft @TheMandrewCan @PierrePoilievre No private system (when it comes to a large scale system) can beat a public system on cost, because the private system has to add a layer of profit. What we need to look at is how to improve public systems.

@theodorebukkake @jamft @TheMandrewCan @PierrePoilievre Academic outcomes ranked by method are 1. Homeschooling, 2. Private school, 3. Public school. Care to know why? This is something I know a lot about. The answer is fairly simple: student/teacher ratio. If we funded public school properly we could match private school results.

@theodorebukkake @jamft @TheMandrewCan @PierrePoilievre Depends where you are in Canada, but many private schools also receive public funding (taxpayer dollars). Otherwise they'd be even more expensive.

@ArdentPardy @car01yn__ Another classic method of bailing out. Bye. Quick, post the last word... you're *dying* to do it :)

@ArdentPardy @car01yn__ I've heard it from right wing snowflakes, yes. It's a common refrain when you're out of ideas and can't present any logical argument.

@ArdentPardy @car01yn__ The joke is you've proven me correct, right wing folks are such snowflakes. You whined about 'ad hominem' at the slightest push back.

@truckdriverpleb Pierre Poilievre is saying Canada will stand up to Trump and will never be the 51st state. I guess he's a leftist now?

@theodorebukkake @jamft @TheMandrewCan @PierrePoilievre So, using your own argument then, the vast majority of people send their kids to public school and use the public healthcare system in Canada. Thanks for playing :)

@theodorebukkake @jamft @TheMandrewCan @PierrePoilievre There are reasons why Canadians stay in Canada for healthcare and send their kids to public schools, or choose to homeschool. Lots of people have lots of reasons. You have no logical argument. Have a good day.

@theodorebukkake @jamft @TheMandrewCan @PierrePoilievre If you believe in crackpot conspiracy theories, then yes of course government doctors etc are a huge problem. In the real world where sane people operate, there's no problem... beyond the normal workplace problems you have anywhere, private or public.

@LtrollNh @jamft @TheMandrewCan @PierrePoilievre Healthcare workers would be included in these numbers in Canada, most definitely. So would police officers. And many other jobs that we publicly fund via taxpayer dollars. That's my point, the original post is comparing apples and oranges.

@Buddaray46 @jamft @TheMandrewCan @PierrePoilievre You've missed the point. In Canada, public sector employees include doctors, nurses, teachers, police, firefighters, bus drivers, sanitation workers, engineers, and lots more. These people do real work that adds value to our economy. The US is more privatized, that's all.

@jamft @TheMandrewCan @PierrePoilievre I'm far from a government troll. Retired farmer. I own many thousands of acres, debt-free, plus a good investment portfolio. My net worth is well north of 20. I'm a big fan of free enterprise, but I also like well funded education, healthcare, etc. Your reply tells me all I need.

@jamft @TheMandrewCan @PierrePoilievre You'd have to show a source for your numbers. There's a lot of easy manipulation of data that could be happening depending on who you count and how certain jobs are funded (private or public). The US would naturally have fewer people employed via publicly funded structures.

@DTJazzman @RogueNerdOne @ABDanielleSmith The good news is you can now form government in Alberta without winning a single rural seat, and you don't even have to win 100 percent of Calgary and Edmonton.

@jamft @TheMandrewCan @PierrePoilievre Depends who you count. Teachers, Doctors, Nurses, Agrologists, and lots more are technically government employees. But they're not government office workers in the sense you mean, if I understand the narrative you're trying to create.

@eggermac Yeah, Brian and Bronwyn are both paid by the industry, they're shills essentially. I'll pass. They're free to bank that oil money, go for it, but don't expect me to take either of them seriously.

@cryptojohn86 @MarkJCarney I have good news for you, the Conservatives will form government within a few months in Canada. It is inevitable. Nobody wins a 4th term in modern Canadian politics, it simply doesn't happen. The natural cycle of change means the Cons will win big. All your dreams will come true.
