Canadian Politics

I didn't think we had a thread for this. 

Is Trudeau this out of touch or does he just not care?

    The holocaust comparisons have me legit sick to my stomach. There is not one thing in Canada going on right now that compares to the start of the holocaust. No red flags. Not a one. They built the f

It's interesting how cavalier so many men are about this.  I suspect  women in Fredericton might feel a little more threatened than you do.

Wait. Are we talking about children or fetuses?

If a fetus is killed then you have no child. Surprised you'd even ask me that.

By that logic, evertime someone masturbates and cleans up after themselves they are commiting infanticide...

If that is true then I have committed genocide countless times. I'm talking civilizations just wiped off the face of the earth with a gym sock. Countless cultures washed away with a good shower.

I am totally pro-choice, but i would always advocate for life if it was my choice and my body.

Well maybe we should stick to the topic on this thread.

I've held my tongue long enough here but I can't wait for this all to be over, all the political ads keep making me wish that I was seeing Christmas ads right now instead of attack ads (and let's face it watching American channels next year won't be fun because it'll be an election year)

 

and I'm not going to lie, it's going to be a long time before I can trust conservatives again (and guess who's fault that is). I'm not happy with Scheer's comments and I'm disappointed in Trudeau for the blackface stuff (honestly I'd be more bothered if the photos were taken during his time in politics, but either way that was stupid and ignorant) and just by saying "Peoples" party of Canada, I question who they are really representing. Would it really be a bad thing if the NDP ran the country for once?

The only thing I ask of the party leaders is that no matter who wins for the love of god please don't act like Trump I don't need that in my country

im giving her a thumbs up cause she's under 30 and votes.

As a working person who got to where I am from working hard and not being dependant on handouts. It would kill me to watch the NDP bankrupt the country and then tax me to death for it.

It would be a disaster if the NDP took power. Spending would be full tilt & federal debt would be out of control. Get used to paying higher taxes to fund the Utopian Society Singh longingly talks about. 

I feel that whether its a Liberal majority or some form of a coalition, my taxes are going up, the debt levels are going to continue to grow and the level of services is going to continue to decline. Long term, we are on the road to where we were in the early 90s (at best) or Venezuela North (worst).

somehow I have a feeling that no matter who wins that Carbon Tax won't be going away

I am hoping for a conservative majority.

We can return to an ideological driven and ignoring evidence based policy decision making.

We can return to muzzling Canadian scientist (who are funded by us the tax payer). **** those scientists!

Screw those immigrants- not in my Canada.

65 is too early to retire- should bump it to 70!

Time for a right wing populous government, what can wrong there?!

Social services? Nothing but hand outs to beggars!

CLimate change? Who the hell needs a future when I can save pennies on a dollar when I fill up- **** you Millenials!

 

Yeah- that's who I need to vote for.

I agree.  And promising to scrap it won’t have the same effect that Chretien’s GST pledge did. Canadians have seen that movie before. 

I think we’ll see another Liberal majority.  Scandals aside, when you look at the things you can fault Trudeau for (eg. Foreign Policy) Scheer has done nothing to distinguish himself in those areas. 

The Conservatives will probably win the popular vote, but that won’t translate into many more seats. Winning the prairies in a landslide doesn’t amount to much more than a hill of canola.  The Liberal vote is more efficient and I think the NDP will lose seats, especially in BC. 

I think its a Liberal minority, Liberals take most of Atlantic Canada, Bloc wins about 40 in Quebec, with a decent Liberal showing, Ontario divided among the major 3, Prairies to the Conservatives, BC also a three way race.

Again im not sure but if the Cons scrap it but it has to go to a vote and they have minority and think we're having another election. Other then the PPC who else is there who wants it gone?

I just can't even remotely see a majority for the Liberals. If anything its CP minority/majority and if it's a majority its the NDP vote that will do it.

Can't call yourself a country or its PM anymore  if you're content to just maintain the Quebec City-Montreal-Ottawa-Toronto power corridor that has run Canada for 50 years now . It is an old, taken for granted formula that's dying

This election will be the last gasp of the old ways of doing things. The West will guarantee that. 

After a Lib-left-Green Frankenstein monster gains power the status quo elites who want the corridor to live forever no matter whos in power won't know what hit them.
