Pass the cheeseburgers & bubbly.

1. Funding should be adequate, without any need for tax increases, at least until the next federal election. There is no reason to think the Trudeau / Singh coalition will reduce transfer payments 2. Doer actually gave most unions bigger pay increases than Selinger did - nurses and teachers for sure. It took a bit longer and involved more political fan fare, but in the end, the PC pay increases were not much lower, especially COLA in Jan. 2022 3. We have yet to see a government that has a clear vision of what red tape is, much less having the capability to remove it

Come again? He's living in London, England - to avoid taxes?

Alrighty - how about some more CPC tweets - about how many questions they asked? Crickets. Time to bring up hotel room expenses - maybe golden toilets

None of that is relevant, until they assemble a championship team, in today's NHL.

Until Edmonton wins a cup, the jury is out on that, IMO

Release the hounds

The fact he's not...indicates there is more to the story. He should have been arrested 2 years ago.

Too much does not add up: Why wait two years to report this? This amounts to treason - why was the MP not arrested and charged?

Of course they are not comparable. But the bottom line is - without Layton - Harper never wins a majority That will not happen in the current situation - that's all I was saying I do remember all of that. I also remember that as finance minister, he slashed billions in transfer payments, which I assume was sanctioned by the Prime Minister When he ran for Prime Minister, it was hard to determine if he was really that inept, or if his party just wasn't behind him

Yes, he used wedge issues. Also yes - there was a clear and well known connection between him and Jack Layton He couldn't have unseated Paul Martin's Liberals without NDP support

I haven't been able to make sense of any of those election interference allegations Trudeau deflections and Pollievere snide marks - are mostly adding more mud to the water

Harper was actually competent at working with the other opposition parties. PP just has no idea how to go about it.

The 2011 election was unique and very unlikely to be repeated A very weak Liberal party and strength of Jack Layton leading the NDP No disrespect to Singh or Mulcair, but they are not of Layton's calibre and never will be We had the NDP not only form the official opposition, but also split the vote in ridings that usually go to the Liberals 4 years later, it was obvious that people were ready to have the Liberals in power again The current NDP are not going to do for Pollievere what they did for Harper Even if they wanted to, I doubt PP is savvy enough to work with them

You have wonder what kind of staff he has working for him. It was completely predictable that this would happen.

Poor guy has been lacking topics since 2019.

I knew it. TBURGESS is the pen name of Gordon Korman

It's impossible to change the unchangeable.

You forgot 6 ounces of rye - neat.

Still recall Mulroney's response to Harper's GST cut. "Good politics but bad policy."

That's fair. I'm referring to the issues the Als OL had, circa '07-'08

I agree with that assessment. Our DL of that era feasted on those guys regularly I still remember Tom Canada sacking Calvillo on a 2 point convert attempt - to end the game
