Some gun owners vote liberal.

This right here. Not a gun owner yet (PAL pending), but I personally find a lot of issues more pressing than guns, such as education, healthcare, and affordability. I applied for my PAL for hunting purposes, so that I could save some money on food while also eating in a more ethical way. Our biggest issue is FPTP — proportional representation or ranked ballots would allow more political viewpoints into Parliament. No party fits 100% of my political viewpoints, but the CPC and I have nothing in common except for guns. That’s not enough for my vote.

And how has the current government made life more affordable since they came to power?

I pay a lot less for daycare, that's about it though.

At least it didn't add to it. You asked and I answered, don't move the goal posts.

Ah, "fuck you got mine", nothing more emblematic of the LPC partisans here. At least the NDP types actually care about working on a middle ground.

Are you referring to me, the person that's happy to get reduced rates after paying for daycare for 6 years?

Glad to hear you saved 50% or whatever on childcare and somehow it's an expense significant enough to where you made it out in the green under this government. Now if you don't mind, I have lentils and beans to soak while I siphon gas so I can make it to school so maybe I can get a job where I can afford a $300K down payment in 10 years.

Pull yourself up by the bootstraps and get a better paying job.

Spoken like a true Neolib. Enjoy that daycare buddy, you earned it.

Edit : Can I siphon gas from your car by the way? I promise I won't cough it out.

Uttering threats now? Did we both manage to piss you off? Why are you threatening to Kurt Cobain someone?

Thanks for the advice. I'll take the catalytic converter while I'm at it.
