Canada is running up 600+ billion in deficit spending and our MP's want the summer off. Utter horse manure.

Has anyone asked about the CO2 emissions of these charity works? ====== Why does Margaret Trudeau have to fly around the world?

I'm shocked you guys haven't jumped all over this. https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/pm-trudeau-s-mother-brother-and-wife-were-paid-to-speak-at-we-charity-events-1.5017697 The irony of getting paid that much, and giving that much taxpayer money (almost a billion) to promote volunteering is laughable. This is textbook corruption by the Trudeaus. Sadly with the country distracted by COVID and the Opposition without a leader, this probably won't effect him too much.

Keeping the U.S. Senate is more important to the GOP than President Trump getting re-elected. The Republicans actually gained two Senate seats after the 2018 mid-term elections.

Yes there's a lot of really stupid righties and lefties. I assume this is because there's a lot of stupid people in general.

Funny, isn't it, how its the services in the service sector that we've missed the most, eh? Grocery store clerks - designated an essential service. Gas station attendants - didn't see them shutting down. Farm workers - crops grow, even if the harvesters are stuck in Mexico - BC is currently crying out for farm workers. Restaurants, bars, hair and nail salons - people really missed those places, couldn't wait for their reopening. Who hasn't really been missed, even as business dried up and staff got sent home? Those high paying jobs. Lawyer's offices closed, mechanics sitting on their asses, retail giants collapsing, throwing their "professionals" out of work too. That low-paying service sector job is arguably more important to our society than any number of the higher paid jobs in our society. The facts say otherwise. Yes, many of the homeless are addicts, no argument. Many are mentally ill. And many have jobs that don't pay enough for both housing and food, including the "hidden homeless", who couch surf or live in their car. 1 in 7 Canadians currently experience housing insecurity, which means any reduction or interruption of income will leave them homeless. Funny how you never flag the ridiculous hyperbole directed toward "lefties", hmmm. Nope, as a matter of fact you are one of the best at using ridiculous hyperbole to describe the views of any group you, personally, dislike. I think there is a nervana where everyone can get what they "need", but not what they necessarily "want." A place to live, healthy food and medical care - any truly civilized society should be able to do that much for its citizens. Canada does pretty well, better than many countries, and could do better - were it not for backward moral judgements that assume homeless and poverty-stricken people are there of their own volition or that wealthy people are there entirely due to their own efforts. In both instances circumstances out of the individual's control, and even luck, plays a role.

They went bat sh.t crazy over that demanding her resignation, including trudea.

Its not just from the travel. You ever head some of the speeches from WE. Full of talk very little in terms of actual work done. I like smaller charities that actually DO something like Unitarian Service Committee or if you are gonna be big then follow the model set by the Salvation Army consistently spending the majority of its money on charitable exercises NOT employees and speeches of them. I support good charities. I am uncomfortable when government favours certain ones as Trudeau has in such a blatant patronage manner.

That's what I'm thinking too. Why are the Cons saying they don't want to bring down the government over this? What happens if indeed they find something really bad that would justify kicking him out? Better not say anything. Did I miss any press con from Jagmeet Singh? Why is he so quiet over this? he should say something! The world doesn't revolve around and end with systemic racism, you know.

I didn't hear the audio for that WE/Trudeau ad but one look tells me it's truly nauseating. I don't think there is ANY other leader in the world as full of himself as our Justin Trudeau. I don't hold much hope that the mainstream media will be digging into this scandal of the man that now signs their checks.

The Liberals got more upset over a $16 glass of orange juice.

"My grandpa worked hard so you have to listen to me. Also he was a slave owner but don't blame me for that!" Come on, old stock Canadians, pick a position... You people... We the left don't have any more Don Cherry's to fire... Yes, that was sarcastic.

How have the constraints of this election changed him/ his behaviour? It would help to understand that. It's normal to see a so-called leader posture themselves in some kind of light when there is an election, even if it's just a shallow or false pretense. With Donald Trump I do not see any pretense.
