The people who show up probably hate him so he wussed out

Shame, would have been the perfect day for another attempt

Not a huge Trudeau fan, but I’d vote for him over SkiPPy every day of the week.

JT’s main failings IMHO is that despite all the good he did (national pharmacare, dental care, and 10$ a day child care) did not get any media attention, and provinces run by conservative premiers tried to suppress the programs as much as possible.

He passed the buck on housing for too long, letting Conservative provinces stoke the flames and blame him - and nobody seems to realize housing and healthcare are largely provincial matters. There was plenty JT could have done to expose this, or remedy how federal housing funding is allocated.

He let our grocery monopoly dictate price with no consequences for Greed based inflation.

Completely sold out workers with a “flood the streets” immigration policy. These new people receive significantly more government assistance than “real Canadians” which rightly pissed everyone off. - FWIW, the Conservatives will absolutely bring even more in, but Fuck Trudeau amirite

Homelessness is at all time highs and so are shelter costs, meaning eating in a shelter you rent/own basically makes you the 1% even though you can’t afford anything.

He completely lied about election reform, one of the main mandates he had when originally elected.

The core of his failing is spending tons of money, but very little of it going to the people who need it while everyone became poorer due to inflation. He wasn’t nearly as “left wing” where it counted as he thinks, and we basically got Neoliberalism with a rainbow flag on top.

(totally support LGBTQ, but not wanting to do gay/trans people harm while actively selling out Canada to corporate interests isn’t “left” at all.)

Instead, we’re going to vote in SkiPPy, who is a capitalist laptog - to save us from crushing capitalism. Because as a nation we have strong voter apathy and no civic comprehension.

Also a huge majority of Canadian media is owned by billionaires with right wing agendas, so they shat on JT consistently for 10 years and the public is listening to them mainly because life is objectively worse for the middle class since Covid inflation made housing and food unaffordable for future generations while wages were actively suppressed by JT himself.

The people who own homes and like their equity explosion still hate Trudeau, but also continue to want their home values to explode but are somehow pissed properties they do not own are also expensive.

And let’s not forget crime. We have almost 0 laws in Canada unless you are homeless (protected from consequences for everything bad you do) - or you try to defend yourself/your property (literally the most evil thing you can do.)

Rapists and violent assault cases routinely are released, or don’t get speedy trials and there are 0 consequences to their abhorrent crimes (lots of provincial issues here, but again, everyone loves to blame Trudeau)

Oh, and his gun ban is completely assanine and does nothing to stop the obvious illegal gunflow from the US that are used in nearly every crime with a gun. Complete tone def waste of money that makes him the easiest conservative target. Maybe 5% of Canadians think it’s actually going to do anything.

Narrative driven, story rich games don’t sell?

How many video game franchises are making the leap to tv/movies these days? Hint, it’s the ones with narrative driven, story rich games.

Go ahead and make pay to win mobile games, I don’t play them and they rake in millions so it makes perfect business sense.

But the idea that gamers don’t pay for good narrative driven, story rich games is laughable.

I think the biggest problem with a lot of game franchises have is they only sell the game. So much money is being left on the table with the best efforts being a screengrab lazily printed on a cheap shirt that sells maybe one or two.

If I could get some official, quality, Umbrella/Shinra/Arasaka/Faro corporation mugs, phone covers, meme tier shirts etc I’d be all over it.

That’s totally right!

Iirc the games had very similar mechanics and look to them, forgot the thread was about Capcom 😅

Drain the swamp one way or another.

The elites will probably vaccinate, but their followers never will - it will become the official purity test of MAGA

Never played Dino crisis but I LOVE me some parasite eve.

Nothing against Dino crisis, just never got to play it, and definitely would take the opportunity.

Super pumped for onimusha reboot, would love to see modernization of Parasite Eve, Dino Crisis, And do something interesting with megaman - like Devil may cry meets megaman.

Same here! Loved the main 3, absolutely hyped to see It make a comeback looking the way it does so far

As above so below

Everyone should change their names on all their social medias to Luigi Mangione

Why is Trump pardoning Antifa FBI crisis actors??

“dirty commies forced people into poverty and famine!” doesn’t really sound so different when people can’t afford homes or food under capitalism

Or, maybe they’ll be the Token Black Republican!

Knowing they’re personally hated by their party, and the only reason they are tolerated is because their existence “refutes” the palpable and constant racisim of the GOP.

One day, if they hate their own race enough, they can grow up to be the greatest Uncle Tom in history aside from Clarence Thomas!

Classic democratic party.

Waiting until the last possible minute to begin pretending to protect Americans from the entitlements of billionaires.

We knew Trump was running again

We knew the media was sane washing everything Trump does, did, and will do

He made specific promises to be a dictator and hinted at this being the last election

He specifically promised to use the army domestically.

Now, it’s almost a month after he won and Democrats are considering maybe doing something about framework regarding the army being used domestically.

Both sides aren’t the same, but they’re both owned by the same people.

Once upon a time Democrats could float the idea of capitulation to business interests to maintain Americans global business dominance. Nowadays any democrat who isn’t fully progressive on workers rights is just another flavor of corporate Greed.

Isn’t the defect rate of NK artillery something like 80% and the munitions arrive covered in machine grease that require cleaning before being used?

Obviously Ruzzia getting war support is bad, but hopefully what was sent ends up hurting Ruzzia military more than helping.

Would be a shame if Ruzzia lost artillery cover across the front lines because most the shells they have on hand are defective and Ukrainian was able to destroy/capture the artillery batteries…

A real shame /s

Harder to be taken advantage of if you know the means by which one takes advantage of another.

Knowing the wealthy need you more than you need them lets you make stronger demands and form unions.

Being knowledgeable gives you job security and independence, you have intrinsic value as a capable resource - and if spurned can become a troublesome enemy because you understand your opponent and can take advantage accordingly

Knowledge is absolutely power, and power gives you opportunity for freedom to choose how to live your life.

Generally, farmers bitch and cry about anything and everything, except for the things they actually should care about. Like sustainably, and corporate ownership of supply chains that collude on prices and distribution networks while putting all the risk on farmers.

They are one of the more entitled voter blocks who live in a zero sum, anything to ‘survive’ at the expense of everything else mentality.

We’d have dust bowl events every 5 years if farmers had their way. It’s absolutely an industry that demands government intervention, because sustainability isn’t short term profitable.

I’m not suggesting that farmers are inherently bad/greedy/destructive of the environment, as the food supply chain often forces farmers to act this way, but that doesn’t change their current attitudes and approach to agriculture.

My farmchair quarterback call is that Farmers crop yields should be half of their income, and sustainable practices, limited fertilizer and pesticide use, and overall soil quality and health should act as a multiplier to crop yields. So lower yields but better farming practices pays more than high yield, environment destroying, agriculture

Holy shit I agree with MTG

Harambe truly was this universe’s anchor being, and the decay is increasing exponentially

Right wing backlash means you’re doing it right!

Clarity can easily be found in Nazi tears.

I was under the impression swapping out an implant was far easier than installing the system.

And I’m also talking about teeth that have been repeatedly drilled, capped, crowns etc - not a normal, healthy tooth.

These teeth are basically anchors for crowns, at what point is a new implant better than a chiseled out tooth?

Honestly, unless this tooth repair gel thing works and becomes available soon, I’d rather have some of my teeth replaced with implants.

I’ve asked my dentist “can we just skip the endless filling replacements, caps, crowns, and eventual implants and just go right to implants?”

They always say no, and I ask is there a reason why “natural teeth” with fillings/caps/crowns are better than implants - they reply with “But it’s your teeth! They’ll last a long time before needing implants!”

Yeah, so I’ll need implants eventually, can’t I just get them now before I put more fillings, caps, crowns, and eventual implants? Ain’t nobody got time for that.

“but your natural teeth will last a long time!”

Yeah, but they ain’t so natural after 5 procedures, and I’d rather avoid the ha$$le and just get the implants now instead of implants and a lifetime of repairs.

They always say no, and it’s probably because they make way more money fixing bad teeth than replacing it with something permanent

EDIT

Thank you everyone!

I’ve gotten better answers here than from my dentist, so thank you everyone for educating me on the reasons why.
