  1. I can't stand Trudeau's word salad - but I prefer it over Pollievre's hot air Bottom line though: in spite of all the criticisms of Trudeau, Harper, Martin, et. al. - Canada is still in a much better position than most of the G7 But I am not convinced that Pollievre is a leader who would keep things intact or improve them First off, I don't believe one word of what they're saying about the carbon tax. It's already a provincial tax in some jurisdictions - why would anyone remove it at the federal level? To balance the budget, I think he'd just do what was done in the past - reduce social transfers - which would then leave most provinces with deficits Just my 0.02 - no one has to agree with me You've got good knowledge of these things - who do you think would be his successor? Freeland?
  2. At this point, I would rather see Trudeau stay in power And I say that as someone who has voted Conservative more often than not Pollievre needs to bring some real ideas forward - he needs to realize that Conservatives would not be able to govern with a minority - the way the Liberals can That's where the swing ridings are - it's all about who is polling higher in the swing ridings That's the Canadian reality
  3. They were heavyweight opinions - Colin Robertson was one of them. I can't recall the other names.
  4. Pollievere engages in more mockery than anyone - he should expect the same - even from an obscure football forum. 😁 We will see how the polls go. Andrew Scheer had the numbers to win a majority, at one point in time. The politician I don't understand at all is Singh. His party is effectively part of the government. But he still speaks like he opposes them, even though he though in reality, he doesn't.
  5. When the story broke, I was driving and listening to CJOB. It was the consensus of people that Cloutier interviewed on his show. That's mostly what I'm basing my thoughts on.
  6. Precisely this. I mean, James Bezan is not a terrible person, but the truth is, he has our riding as long as he wants it.
  7. It could be the fact that Stephenson just barely won that nomination.
  8. At some point, some of them have got to start realizing this. His behaviour in the house is terrible. He does not act like a statesman at all - he is not going to be the answer for their party.
  9. The photo is from today's question period - during the internet security debate
  10. Indeed - there are several on here who would have been qualified for that job
  11. Tanks.
  12. I find the opinion credible, with a bit of hyperbole blended in, certainly. It is what most of the interviewees have said.
  13. Take push back with a grain of salt...it's tastier
  14. Go to 48:00 of this video: who applauds is more telling than what May had to say.
  15. It has been openly stated that the Chinese target(ed) diaspora communities. I have listened to pretty much all of those question periods.
  16. There is no doubt that they target diaspora communities - people who are deathly afraid of family back home suffering consequences.
  17. The roads worst I've seen are down in the southwest corner of MB. A relatively low population, and thus very little is done to keep them repaired.
  18. The Conservatives need a scandal to win the next election - that's all this is about. Campaigning on 'Liberal overspending' won't work this time, because Canadian finances are relatively good, compared to others in the G7. The Carbon tax? Most of that comes back through rebates. And the world is going green, even if the opposition pretends not to notice. Bottom Line: Pollievere needs a scandal, and he knows it
  19. Yes, their wording is now "even if he did meet." That just reinforces the impression that they have no proof
  20. If it were true, he would be facing a criminal trial as we speak. The opposition has suddenly stopped talking about the issue.
  21. It seems Elizabeth May is the only Parliamentarian with the guts to stand up and call a spade a spade.
  22. Pass the cheeseburgers & bubbly.
  23. 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
  24. Come again? He's living in London, England - to avoid taxes?
  25. Alrighty - how about some more CPC tweets - about how many questions they asked? Crickets. Time to bring up hotel room expenses - maybe golden toilets
