      Yeah, words have lost all meaning to the Conservatives. Yes, sure, Trump and Trudeau are both communists because they implemented COVID mandates.

      Well, I’d sure prefer that to RFKism. We’d end up with brain worms. Makes you wonder how some people got their MD’s.

      Communism is a political, economic, and social ideology that advocates for a society where the state owns and controls the means of production, distribution, and exchange, with the aim of creating a classless, stateless, and moneyless society. It envisions a system where resources are allocated based on need and everyone shares in the benefits of labor equally.

      Did he choose the wrong word in his attempt at clickbait

      I love how they do their best to show that they’re not a serious party and that they should be kept away from governing for the rest of the decade.

      Deeply disappointing. It’s truly infuriating that conservatives can’t seem to describe anything they don’t like in terms of anything but „Woke“ or „Communism.“

      Also, not advocating violence in any way, but is it just me or do most conservative MPs suffer from severe backpfeifengesicht?

      Communism meaning anything the right does not like.

      Did it seize the means of production and put them in the hands of the community? Put the country’s proletariat in „charge“ of a vanguardist dictature? Or even nationalize anything at all? Or even do so much as to seize the commanding heights of the economy?

      The answer to all the above is obviously no, and that’s how you know that Mr. Strauss is a moron.

    7. This is not a serious statement. The fact his own party allows this style of discourse to stand unchallenged is a tacit approval of bad faith reasoning. Poison for democracy.

    8. I swear we should set up a town like Upper Canada Village that recreates the true communist scenario and send these folks there for a month to live under that scenario. Maybe they they will stop this BS.

    9. Anti-vaxxers age old tactics borrowed from the Republican Party. You frame it as we are victims of government overreach. Or better yet us vs them.

      None of that is true of course, they simply do not want to be vaccinated.

      Ah yes, COVID-19, the era when all property was held communally. Oh, what’s that? The richest people on earth got even richer? Yeah, that’s communism right guys?

      He’s at the top of my list (along with Aaron Gunn) on ‘wtf were the CPC thinking??’. There’s zero benefits to the CPC to have these loudmouths as MPs. I guess they weren’t planning to lose the last election so if they already had the government, a few bozo candidates wouldn’t matter.

      The dude made an appearance on RT for crying out loud. A RUSSIAN PROPAGANDA NETWORK! That in itself aside from his insane positions should’ve been immediately disqualifying. Just goes to show you that the CPC has no interest in ever winning if this is who they think best represents the party. Going to be a longggg 4 years with endless bozo eruptions.

      Shocked that this wasn’t Roman Baber.

      This is one of the ridings where, if the NDP topples the government by voting against the Throne Speech, no more Liberal-NDP vote split would send this riding back to the Liberals. This quack should not be anywhere near vulnerable populations.

      Strauss was defiant in his opposition to Covid mandates long before it was treatable, curable, long before vaccines.

      As a doctor his behaviour was unprofessional and reckless to the point where colleagues and students alike were disturbed by his behaviour.

      Queens University and his Dean Archer “say no one defamed Strauss. It says his resignation was timed to make as much money and sow as much chaos as possible.

      It also says his disagreement with public health measures wasn’t just seen online, but at work where he tried to bypass COVID-19 screening at the Kingston Health Sciences Centre.

      When the pandemic started in 2020, Archer and Strauss disagreed about scientific literature on COVID-19 and public health measures, but Archer remained professional.

      The defence points to Strauss’s social media posts about COVID-19 that include him saying:

      – „I would sooner give my children Covid-19 than a McDonald’s happy meal.“

      – „Just listening to science is naïve – what to do about Covid depends on values more than facts.“

      – „If you drive your kids to school and worry about them getting COVID there then you are bad at math.“

      The defence states Strauss‘ peers said his comments were undermining the work done to save people’s lives while medical learners called his comments „offensive and discriminatory.“

      He also tried to bypass screening at the hospital, the statement of defence says.

      „These behaviours occurred at a time when COVID-19 was incurable and vaccines were not yet available,“ reads the court document.

      Despite several meetings with Strauss that weren’t punitive but had people discuss their concerns, his „harmful commentary“ continued and he didn’t make clear that his posts were his opinion and not that of his employer.”

      It’s so sad that so many conservatives will support this guy, and not realize that his statement makes no fucking sense.

    15. Tw1sted_Reality on

      Alot of the COVID mandates were implemented by provincial governments, including conservative ones. TIL that Scott Moe and Doug Ford are communists

      So when the English parliament shut down all the public houses in London to prevent the spread of disease during the Great Plague of 1665, was that Communism too?

      Funny, I always thought Communism had something to do with the workers controlling the means of production, but I guess I have to accept that it has nothing to do with economics, or even Karl Marx.

      „When the pandemic started, Strauss was an assistant professor at Queen’s University’s medical faculty.

      After he was dismissed, he filed a $600,000 claim against the university, alleging he was fired because he was critical of COVID mandates.“

      – Man does something that his own discipline’s code of ethics tells him not to do, then when he’s canned, *shocked pikachu face*.

      The man went full Strauss. You never go full Strauss.

      Yet the majority of the mandates were provincial. Remind me again which party held majority control of the provinces during covid 🤔

    19. Anything I don’t like/understand = communism

      And these people wonder why they consistently get compared to MAGA/GOP.

    20. >They locked Canadians down in their homes, ruined weddings, funerals, Easters, proms and Christmases, closed the borders, kept mothers from children and brothers from sisters, deprived the House of its ancient rights, spent $600 billion of taxpayer money with no budget and doubled our national debt to pay healthy 16-year-olds to sit in their basement,” said the MP for Kitchener South-Hespeler.

      None of that is an economic, political or social system where the means of production are commonly owned.  You’d think a doctor would be smart enough to understand the core tenant of the system given its covered in junior high to great extent.

    21. Reddit is great to find a gravy made with low sodium but not the best place to find critical thinking….. it’s group think on steroids

    22. I’m personally surprised it took this long for the crazies in the Conservative party to start letting their crazy out. Guess they held on as long as they could for the election and are trying REALLY hard not to drop the crazy ball before PP wins his by-election.

      Some Conservatives just keep their crazy to themselves.
