More experience than opinion. I"m fully aware that it's not a majority opinion, nor does that particularly matter to me. See, I don't see a problem with having different definitions of progressive. That's precisely what allows millions of people to co-exist.

It doesn't need to be one or the other...they are not mutually exclusive.

Absolutely. Their reps show up on farmers' doorsteps with a fat cheque book.

This is happening to varying degrees...all across the prairies.

Honestly, you can't ask for much more from a voter - think through the real issues and make your choice.

For the record, this is not misinformation. It is someone's opinion of events that actually happened and/or ongoing points being raised in the house of commons.

And his name is Jonathan - should be a solid.

They'll definitely be forthcoming - in this thread

Get under the goalie's skin... Boston goalie wasn't focussed at all, on that tying goal

It's like that old punchline: 'The captain was sober today.'

Some of those guys have had tar paper over their mirror - for quite some time

The talent is mostly there with that team, but the attitude is not. In all reality, most teams would be in trouble without their number one (25 - 28 min) Dman. And he was one of the players who brought his game every night. I don't know if a complete blow up is the answer - but some players need to go - for sure.

The thought of 15 of them is an absolute punch in the stomach.

That's gold WL, gold 😆

If that is true, then what the PCs chose to do in this situation, makes absolutely 0 sense Unless they don't know about it

Godspeed with your recovery, Speed.

It's beyond strange. He said ALOT in question period when it first happened.

It's pretty simple - they don't have much of chance with Morrissey out - but they could at least show up.

I have researched plenty, and I teach gr. 11 Canadian History - you would lose your farm: Wilfred Laurier, Mackenzie King, Tommy Douglas - just off the top of my head Anti-semitism, eugenics, Etc.

All our political parties have those things in their history. And not all PCs are bad people.

Exhibit A: In early 90's the 7% GST replaced the 13.5% Manufacturers Tax - generating more $$ for government coffers But even with the increased revenue, the Chretien Liberals still needed to slash transfer payments, in order to be in the black

Not a surprise that several points of route 90 are on the list Somewhat surprised to see none of the McPhillips intersections on there

I was expecting that!

When it comes to which government has had more deficit spending, there is not a whole lot choose from Chretien / Martin reduced the government debt, Harper kept it about the same with slight increases, but it spiked during Trudeau's tenure But the greatest increases in Canadian government debt per person happened during the two world wars HISTORICAL CONTEXT MATTERS https://www.fraserinstitute.org/sites/default/files/examining-federal-debt-in-canada-by-prime-ministers-since-confederation-2022.pdf For example, when you factor in population growth, the current spike in government debt is actually not that much - the total debt was approx. $47 000 per person by the end of 2022 (see p. 8 of the link)

A large portion of the deficit spending was due to Covid. Did they overspend on that? Probably. But it's not like they could just do nothing. Even if they hadn't closed work places, most of the rest of the world did Canada's economy would have slowed down - regardless of any approach that our governments took (or didn't take)
