The reality is the prov ucp and the federal cons are more closely tied together than our prov ndp and the federal ones.

This just confirms that the NDP knows that it would do more harm than good. Just find it amusing, that’s all.

Which is why I can’t vote for this iteration of the Federal Conservative Party.

PP may be too far right for me, I consider myself more centrist, leaning slightly left or right on some issues. PP keeps mentioning the “woke liberal/NDP agenda”. I need to get a better understanding of what “woke” means to PP.

Woke is defined by the Oxford dictionary as “alert to injustice and discrimination in society, especially racism.” The Merriam Webster dictionary defines woke as “aware of and actively attentive to important societal facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice).”

pp uses it as a call out to bigots, racists and misogynists that he hates what they hate

Woke is a buzzword PP throws around to hide the fact that he and his party don't have the policies to attract voters, that despite the dumpster fire the Liberal party and Trudeau are they are both much better options than PP. By throwing out a meaningless buzzword like PP the morons who eat that kind of thought up ignore the emptiness of PP when it comes to having any real ideas and instead cheer on his "owning the libtards"!

Good thread. And I can tell you this group actually does exist, and has for years since the UCP began destroying healthcare.

What a ridiculous tweet...Surrey Hospital's ER situation has nothing to do with not hiring unvaccinated workers and has everything to do with the shortage of ER Nurses, Doctors and the overwhelming number of people without GP's that go to the ER instead.

I mean we've known for 10 years there was going to be a shortage of health care workers everywhere and this putz thinks it's because of unvaccinated staff not being hired by the NDP? It should be laughable but instead I'm sad people actually believe this crap.

Yeah, I have a two friends who are MDs who have already explored the move to BC should the UCP win. One is a family doctor in Calgary who has - according to her, anyway - one of the largest patient-bases in the province.

By this definition we should all be "Woke".

I’m sure having the vaccine mandate still in effect helps the problem you’re right.

Aren’t there other nurses that work with you that complain about it?

I actually like the word woke.


Because anybody who uses it immediately identifies themselves as right wing ideologues stuck in their own silo.

Woke and socialism. Demonizing the very concepts which Canada is built on and makes it such a wonderful place.

Flat out disinformation like this doctored Tweet making the rounds of WeChat channels devoted to minority groups.
