There is no one currently in the Conservative party who has the credentials to step forward as a credible candidate for PM. The influx of Reform Party people have skewed the party so far to the right that it is in danger of being mistaken for the GOP. Singh is both credible and articulate but I do not think Canada is ready for a practicing, observant Sikh as prime minister. Trudeau has made some politically bad decisions, and this is on him and his advisors, but none of them are criminal, so far as I know. When the Conservatives were able to have credible leaders like Joe Clark and Bob Stanfield, they were a legitimate alternative, but all that changed with Mulroney. His administration new lows for corrupt behaviours and all but destroyed the PC party, forcing them into a shotgun marriage. There are good people in all three parties but, but sad to say, our expectations of our politicians has been lowered.

I'm not claiming I'm immune to this either, but to say one party is more corrupt then the other will often follow whatever party line you subscribe to. People will tend to excuse and put less scrutiny on the things the party they support does, and will even see many of the things they do as somewhat justified as it supports an ideology they subscribe to anyway, where as the things "the other party" does will be magnified much worse because not only are they corrupt, but they are corrupt in doing things that one generally opposes from the very start. The stink the liberals left after the Chretien and Paul Martin era is what led to Harper being in power for as long as he was. The stink that Harper left in his time in power has now paved the way for Trudeau to do what he is doing. Give it another term or two, and / or a viable leader in the opposition, and the winds will change again. The wheels of corruption will continue to turn.... Thank god no one party is in power in perpetuity as the longer they are, the things they do seem to get worse and worse. (not jaded at all)

Volvo is Chinese owned? I'll never buy one.

It was. Even if you didn't agree with his politics, he was articulate and passionate. He motivated the base and got others engaged.

losing Layton was a big loss for the country.

This is why I refuse to belong to any party. I can fully support the platform but then get disillusioned when they fail to act on it. And, all these parties are run by politicians. They're the worst!

This is always the Liberal party. Every once and a while we get good Liberal leaders, who eventually become bad leaders. Chretien was a good leader until he got badddddd. Martin would have been a good leader, if he had the chance. Trudeau wasn't good from the start. The platform is A+ the execution is D-. They don't get an F because they managed to legalize marijuana and they messed that up. The CPC is dumpster fire. Where are the conservatives? Not in the CPC or not part of any leadership there. NDP have not really defined themselves since losing Layton. I'm not even sure they have a coherent platform. I like Singh but I don't see him becoming PM, unless entire Liberal party crumbles. Greens??? Leader sounds good but they're not capable of winning more than couple fringe seats.

you mean this F 35? "The F-35 controversy has dogged the Conservatives since 2010, when the government announced it would purchase 65 fighter jets from American manufacturer Lockheed Martin in an untendered, sole-sourced contract. At the time, critics pounced on the Harper government for not looking to competitors’ models such as Boeing’s Super Hornet or the Eurofighter Typhoon." Conservatives love them some planes dont they? off topic when usa invaded Iraq, their planes could not fly in the desert conditions. they had to hire amongst others Viktor Bout, Russian arms dealer who had a fleet of Soviet military planes flown by ex soviet military pilots, to resupply American troops. at the time, Viktor was wanted on an interpol warrant. now in an american jail. book about him is very interesting. russians pilots and crew slept in hammocks slung from the plane. https://www.amazon.com/Merchant-Death-Money-Planes-Possible/dp/047026196X

Stupid Republicans and stupid Americans for electing this imbecile and thinking of putting him back in, he filled his pockets and still doing it on the back of morons

and apparently this is still going to be a thing https://tvline.com/2021/03/09/powerpuff-girls-live-action-cast-chloe-bennet-dove-cameron-the-cw/

You clearly dont watch they are using the vets to build up the kids very nicely. You never see a old guy vs old guy. Sting was used to bring up Darby Allin, Brian Cage, Ricky Starks. Jerhico surrounds himself in inner circle with all young guys Santana and Ortiz, MJF, Sammy Guvera. Matt Hardy with private party. Shaq comes in to give a rub to Cargil. Building young talent by having them with known names has been done for years.

The very good news is that the number of ICU patients has dropped.

Hilarious to compare any of the "corruption" from the LPC to stuff done by Harper and Mulroney Cons.... JPTs Grits are far from perfect but they're by far the best option federally right now...

You can do it online. BET365 is site I've used.

We can have meaningful dialogue about the Riders on this forum. A deep & honest discussion about their team & fans. They suck. Absolutely they suck. They always will suck. They always have sucked. There, see? A meaningful & thoughtful discussion. That wasn't hard at all.

Yup Riders suck talented or not.

Having objective discussion about the Roughriders on this forum...?

So... any word on why only the severance portion that was paid to definitely-not-my-sister is being asked to be repaid? Why not the full amount that was paid out to her during her sisters' employment? I mean, that's like charging a bank robber with the theft of the bank bag they used to steal wads of cash with, and not trying to get the stolen funds back. Wouldn't it be better to get repayment on the employment earnings as well?

I checked HuffPost Canada's twitter and they say nothing of this

This Liberal government is both corrupt and incompetent. The current Conservative party has not shown themselves to be a good alternative and they seem to be shifting towards the Republicans to the south. Harper seemed to keep the crazies within the party at bay. Basically Canada is in trouble.

After long and rigorous contemplation........no. Canada has had its Day and it was lacking.

Stockwell not on the list with Joe and Bob? 😂

Besides, there are CFLers who go to the NFL. Should we remove all Chris Streveler talk from this forum since he is no longer a Blue Bomber? Of course not. There are some grey areas and crossover with the NFL and CFL, so I think we can recognize this as not just a Bomber forum, not just a CFL forum, but a football forum. And if you don’t like it, then exercise your free will and don’t click on the link.

Well, there are NFL fans here too. It's doing no harm. You don't have to read the posts.

Weird, I thought I changed that. My bad. To make up for it...

45 days in and this POTUS has not spent a minute on a golf course on the tax payer dime.

so the NDP are communists? they want the state to own everything? boy is that silly.

I will lean to the left, so my bias could show. I have no doubt there is some corruption with the Libs but I would like an itemized list to make a comparison to the former PC or other Liberal governments before declaring them the all-time champs. But I will surmise that when one talks about the disrespect of the public trust, how much is really corruption and how much is a simple expansion of the public distrust of government? Given how much our lives have been flooded with tales (true and false) of government corruption on both sides by the media machine, especially with our downstairs meth lab neighbours in the Obama/Trump/Biden era, it seems John Q(anon) Public is more predisposed to distrust politicians than ever before, so that may skew our perception of just how deep the corruption really is.

I haven't been really plugged into Canadian politics the last little while. Can someone point me to where this current government is corrupt AF?

You must be forgetting Airbus and the bags full of money In the Mulroney years.

Well, seems there were no books at hand.......so they had to do something..

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/lethbridge-police-service-search-photograph-mla-shannon-phillips-1.5932495 That's some unsettling ****.

I'm one of those lucky people who work at something that is what I like doing. ( not the bookwork part ) I retired from working out a few years ago and started a business with my son. More of a hobby gone out of control lol.

somehow or other, this is Ambrosie's fault!

I just found out that Kent Restaurant won't reopen, which sucks they had good chicken fingers, that place was closest to my house, the owner didn't know my name, but whenever I came in she knew what I wanted (it was either the chicken fingers and fries with BBQ sauce and Mayo on the side or it was their breakfast) it was kind of like the amount of times when went to the Arby's at BellMTS when they had it at the time

The best option RIGHT NOW...sure. But if you don't think there's more corruption than previous governments had, then I don't know what to tell you. They just don't have an opposition leader who is able to do anything about it.
