even posters like ecos with the absolutely detestable Frank Greaves who swore he would use his powers to defeat poilievre now show the liberals and conservatives at basically a tie after weeks of insisting that there was double digit spreads between them I don't know why but a lot of posters this election put their thumbs on the scales I think. You look at their methodologies and you look at what they said and there were a few that were fairly honest but most were less so. As I predicted a few days ago now that we're getting close to the end they're all going to pretend that they're pulling is saying it's magically a tie. Last night, everybody changed their minds and that hugely leads vanished and wow it's actually a tie now who'da thunk it This will allow them to pretend that they were at least close no matter who wins. It's pretty obvious from some of the commentary that they believe that the conservatives are trending right now and have momentum. The poles are currently showing a liberal minority. I have a funny feeling we're going to see a conservative minority in reality but you never know. If that happens I expect that mark carney will drop out of politics and go do something else despite having promised that he was in it for the long haul win or lose. Hopefully at that point the conservatives will call a snap election and say seeing as they got A free ride in the last leadership race there's no point in waiting for them to finish this one

dude, if someone asks you what 2+2 is, and then you answer 22.... and then you get mad when they complain..... Your links are pretty useless. I think even you have to acknowledge that. The things they're trying to spin his lies simply aren't. Meanwhile we have carney who is out there insisting even after being corrected that it is absolutely a fact that poilievre will ban abortions. Everybody knows that's not a fact but he insists is an absolute fact not just his opinion. He said he had nothing to do with the move of his business the states we have found that that's not true. He said he had resigned from all of his boards we know that that's not true. Sorry but as far as honesty goes poilievre is one of the more honest politicians we had. I think you could honestly argue that Blanchette is also pretty honest, jag meet not so much and is pretty dishonest, but there's no doubt who's at the bottom of the pile and it sure as hell isn't Poilievre

You must be closer to Rosie's antenna.

Every thing you buy come with some sort of plastic packaging. You have no choice. What's your solution?

Dumbass. Thats Ratification. A Canadian-U.S. free-trade agreement was concluded in 1988, and NAFTA basically extended that agreement’s provisions to Mexico. NAFTA was negotiated by the administrations of U.S. Pres. George H.W. Bush, Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, and Mexican Pres. Carlos Salinas de Gortari. Preliminary agreement on the pact was reached in August1992, and it was signed by the three leaders on December 17. NAFTA was ratified by the three countries’ national legislatures in 1993 and went into effect on January 1, 1994 Here’s actual footage of Reagan signing the first free trade agreement:

No it was not Clinton. He just happened to be president when it took off. NAFTA was signed under Bush but based on Reagan policies for example. Oh and more to the topic of this thread here’s all the “made in China” Donald Trump merch at Trump’s own Trump merch store (yes the grifter jn chief has his own store selling MAGA merch)

1) America became a global superpower after Ww2, and USA built the global international order we know today 2) After the cold ear, that international order was expanded to include Russia, China etc Free trade agreements were signed, “globalism” commenced STARTED UNDER REAGAN 3) Through the 90s Globalism was championed by Republicans more than anyone, becomes a universally accepted principle by people in both parties Americas wealth continues to grow exponentially as a result, a need class of billionaires is created. America continues to be richer than ever before Republicans continue to bus unions, rill back workplace safety and labour protections and claim the offshoring of factories is just hiw capitalism works 4) Americas wealth is greater than ever before….However wealth inequality in USA continues to increase as the rich get richer and the poor get poorer and the middle class is hollowed out. All the wealth is being distributed to the billionaire class and none is shared with the rest of society. Democrats continue to call this out but republicans ignore it and call this talk socialism and “divisive class warfare”. Republicans continue to say anyone can simply work harder if they want more. 5) Republicans suddenly falsely pretend to care about the destruction of the working class and promote a bunch of phoney baloney working man policies that are really just a smokescreen to preserve the status quo and just increased pollution, reduced consumer protection etc. Sorry the factory jobs aren’t coming back and those that do aren’t going back to the obscure rust belt cities where they left 5) The leading cause of bankruptcy in the usa is healthcare. Basic social safety nets that keep people from becoming financially ruined when they have an illness or provide a temporary source of income when they lose their job is a far cry from what you’re derisively calling “welfare”.

Bullseye. Even the prevailing economic theory of the Chicago school of economics percolated for 20 years or so before it gradually gained acceptance. If you want to see something remarkable, watch the talking heads at CNBC, MSNBC, and FOX business ... Those shows that cover the markets ... Trying to get their heads around. What's going on here. They're slowly coming to the realization that Trump actually thinks he's smarter than the business world. That the economic orthodoxy they all buy into is under direct threat from The mad King that they supported. Most centrists were unnerved by his statements during the last election campaign, and felt there was at least a good chance of him pursuing the trade war and doing damage. Those who supported him felt it was rhetoric only, and that he would listen to advisors who would keep him grounded. If he doesn't give this up, it could be calamitous.

You're incapable of reason. You're ideologically locked in a cage and can't get out. You're a tyrant who denies the basic principles of due process and justice to people he dislikes. No amount of evidence can convince you. You're not 1 ounce better than all the chuds.

Dumbass. USA effectively created and controlled WTO, along with IMF, world bank and all the other globalist institutions and USA benefited greatly from them, more than anyone else did America became even more rich and powerful after the cold war ended ESPECIALLY during the Clinton years but it didn’t start there it started under Reagan. Clinton years were just peak America before the economy crashed under Bush and all the tea party nutjobs started coming out of the woodwork American capitalists wanted globalization and they became billionaires doing it. Republicans were the biggest champions of it. Basic social safety nets are not “welfare” and your ridiculous attitude is exactly why USA ids full of destitute shitholes not seen in other first world countries.

The Tories are winning! Vote Liberal!

It doesn't say advertisers working for a candidate have a right to being in a press pool either.

Now the Mad King is tanking the markets even further because he’s butthurt over an opinion Dow ends down nearly 1,000 points after Trump’s latest tirade against Fed’s Powell U.S. stocks suffered steep losses on Monday as President Donald Trump ramped up his attacks on Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, prompting investors to worry about the central bank’s independence even as they grapple with the effects of Trump’s ongoing, erratic trade war. All three major indexes tumbled more than 2%, and the U.S. dollar continued to get hammered, sinking to a three-year low against a basket of major currencies. The equity selloff was less intense in Canada, thanks largely to another surge in gold prices to fresh record highs. Trump escalated his criticism of Powell on Monday, saying the U.S. economy is headed for a slowdown “unless Mr. Too Late, a major loser, lowers interest rates NOW,” in a bellicose Truth Social post which raised concerns over the Fed’s autonomy…. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/investing/markets/inside-the-market/market-news/article-premarket-stocks-dollar-slide-as-trumps-attacks-on-fed-shake-markets/

Dumbass. USA became a global superpower in the aftermath of WW2. That is a fact most people learn before high school. It’s not even up for debate. The US created and lead the post-war world order which only allowed it to become even more powerful relative to other nations. The “globalist” world order started with Reagan/Thatcher but really took off in the 90s, championed by Republicans and conservatives who called liberals and democrats communists and socialists for opposing the “free market” offshoring factory jobs and corporate mergers that resulted in mass layoffs. The real reason US factory towns remain “hollowed out” is because of a failure of US domestic policy and lack of a social safety net for people who fall on hard times. In “sink or swim” America those places were left to sink amd that’s what happened. Spoiler alert: for the few factory jobs that do come back to USA, they won’t be coming to those rusted out meth-head shitholes, they will be located somewhere new, close to centres of commerce and technology.

The illiterati strike again....

When Carney isn't doing deals with the Communist Bank of China, meeting with the Chinese Gov't, meeting with the Jiangsu Commerce Council of Canada, leading his board to vote to move high-paying jobs to NY, sticking up for his MP's who are making threats against their political opponents on behalf of the Chinese gov't, hiring new MP's who are brimming with love for mother China, or giving the CBC a Billion dollar raise right before the election, he's lying to Canadians. A lot. You remember all the lies, right? Because CBC is talking about them. Kinda. Not really. Welllll, not at all. But it's not because CBC is biased, and we know that because Trudeau gave the CBC and other media toadies hundreds of millions of dollars to ensure media integrity during the elections. We're solid. Oh, and Carney even gave the CBC a Billion dollar raise when he announced the next election, so you know that CBC is honest too. Wellll, except for that one time that Rosemary Barton lied a couple days ago. Either that or she thought that she remembered a mass grave of children being discovered in Canada recently. Let's be honest: did she lie, or did she really get so overwhelmed by all the CBC propaganda about "there just have to be some mass graves of indigenous children at rez schools, because Canadians are so racist, that's the kind of thing that people would here, and could get away with" that she just felt like she remembered a mass grave being discovered? What's worse: if she actually lied, or if she was so overwhelmed by CBC's propaganda that she actually thought that she remembered the discovery of conclusive proof of a residential school mass-murder? We all remember that it was proven that there wasn't one in Kamloops, why didn't she remember that? Was CBC's coverage of that so scant that she forgot about it? But enough about CBC's main political correspondent lying to Canadians, here's a refresher course on Carney's main, proven lies: From Western Standard: "I do not have a connection with Brookfield Asset Management. I resigned all my positions because I am all in for Canada. The formal decision of the Board happened after I ceased to be on the Board." (Fact: Carney was the chairman of the board at Brookfield when the board voted to move to NY) The Standard goes on to say 'a December 1 letter to shareholders, signed by Carney, called the relocation “in the best interests of Brookfield Asset Management”.' Same article: "Carney also declined to clarify his claim that he personally helped balance the 1998 federal budget. At the time, he was a 33-year-old economics student at Oxford, not working for the Canadian government". Carney constantly lies about his role in helping Canada avoid the 2008 recession. He wasn't the main guy, he wasn't even close to being the number 2 guy. He was the number 3 guy, and our own laws prevented him from making the same kinds of mistakes that the US made. It's beyond revolting for him to try and take the credit for something that was obviously not his own doing Carney actually slandered the Globe and Mail in his next lie. He said that he never met with the Jiangsu Commerce Council of Canada, but he did meet with them, and he even had pictures taken with them. (Toronto Sun) “Well, I’m sorry, but you can’t believe everything you read in The Globe and Mail,” Carney said. Is it worse if he lied, or he met with them unwittingly? Here's how the CBC broaches the topic of Carney's [main] lie about Brookfield. This is their own words, 100%. It's a pure, unedited "cut and paste" job: Conservatives say Carney is lying about his role moving investment firm's office to U.S. Formal decision to move Brookfield's head office made after he resigned, Carney says Liberal leadership contender Mark Carney helped steer two G7 economies through turbulent times and his track record as a central banker earned him praise and offers to serve on the board of directors of some prominent businesses, non-profits and philanthropic organizations, including one of Canada's largest publicly traded companies, Brookfield Asset Management (BAM). Now, the Liberal leadership front-runner is facing scrutiny for some of the decisions taken by BAM during his time as board chairman — including one to move the company's head office from Toronto to the U.S. Carney downplayed his role in that decision at a news conference on Tuesday night after the Liberal leadership debate, saying it was a decision formally made by the board after he left the company in January. But company documents show the board approved the move in October 2024, and the decision was affirmed by shareholders at a meeting late last month. The wording of the investor relations document announcing the office move in October makes it clear the company wasn't waiting for shareholder approval. [later in the CBC article] A spokesperson for Carney told CBC News that Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is "desperate to misrepresent Mark's serious experience in business because he has no economic experience whatsoever." From waaaaay later in the article: "The formal decision of the board happened after I ceased to be on the board. I do not have a connection with Brookfield Asset Management and no longer have a role obviously as I resigned in the middle of January," he said. "I'm all in for Canada, all in for this leadership, all in during this time of crisis to build our great country." Here's how CBC's article ranks on the truthometer: The conservatives didn't "accuse him", they "caught him". And that's based on documents that the CBC got access to. They just quoted him, that part is 'fine'. The article starts off with a nice rim-job for Carney... I'd love for a CBC/Trudeau/Carney apologist to try to find an article by the CBC that starts off with unnecessary flattery of Pierre Poilievre Eventually CBC got around to telling the truth Doesn't seem like such a big deal, but it's the only quote from anyone in that article on the topic of whether or not Canadians believe Carney lied... what does that quote have to do with Carney's lie? Why did CBC just let them off on an obvious deflection from the topic? Why did CBC just allow that gratuitous slander against Poilievre into their article when it was just, again, an obvious deflection? Are there any random insults against Carney in that article, or just all that random praise from CBC themselves? Does the CBC really not have a quote from anyone in the Bloc, NDP, Greens, or anywhere else that calls that a lie? No one else on planet earth thinks that Carney lied? It's just "conservative party members" who think that? That quote is in the center of "pants on fire territory", right on the upper level of seriousness. It was a LIE. 100.0%. A total fabrication. Still, the CBC couldn't find a quote from ANYONE who wasn't a member of the conservative party, so it seems as if this just remains a "CPC accusation", as far as that article is concerned. "I'm all in for Canada, all in for this leadership, all in during this time of crisis to build our great country". When he said that, it was part of a lie to Canadians which proved that he was actually more concerned about Brookfield than Canadian jobs. Summary: Carney is a monumental liar. CBC are monumental liars and propagandists. Has CBC, to this day, found anyone who thought that Carney was a liar, side from Conservative MP's? Questions for leftists: Do you agree that Carney is a serial liar? If not, then how do you explain away all of these massive lies from just the last few months? Can you name some similar lies that Poilievre was caught in, from his 21 years as an MP serving Canadians? Carney told more lies in TWO MONTHS than Poilievre told in TWENTY-ONE YEARS. Prove me wrong. 😘

And he will fight this evil conspiracy by ensuring that $7.25/hr jobs sewing shirts and filling plastic bags with nuts, bolts and an allen key can only be done in the USofA..... with a flag at your desk and reciting the Pledge of Allegiance before you start work.

A Pope that's "too woke".... OMG Cheech & Chong should still be around for that one. Talk about a f*cking Nazi oxymoron brainfart, Popes that are too 'woke', too 'left', too 'progressive' for their liking. My condolences to the billion plus Catholics and the Christians capable of understanding their denomination sprung from there. A true leader, with the decency to apologize for past harms has been lost.

YES IT IS. Prove me wrong.

I kind of just thought he was an !diot. But yes it is a severe problem that the left doesn't want to acknowledge when they break a law or change a law but want us to think it's horrible heinous and deplorable when somebody else does exactly the same thing. And they wonder why they lose elections

Except for the part about all of the polls being tied, which is categorically not true. 🤡🤡🤡

Having sex without marriage also "contributes to HIV infections," and their wisdom tells people NOT to do that.

The other day PP appeared in front of a croud and said... get this... "good morning everyone". Good Morning. IT WAS 12:04 WESTCAN - TWELVE OH FOUR!!!!! Does that SOUND like MORNING to you!?!?! Hidden agenda!! It's proof i tell ya! He'll ban abortion, it's a FACT!!!

And next Monday's results better be a victory for the conservatives. If not, it just may come to Alberta deciding to leave Chanuckistan. Once Alberta goes, all of Canada will go. Alberta keeps the rest of the country on welfare. Alberta does not need Canada. Canada needs Alberta. Whatever Alberta does, works for me.

I'm seriously worried about the degradation of the formerly conservative movement down the same trajectory, with the same warning points as earlier the Republican party. In other encounters, on social media I see the same exact trend: an out of hand dismissal of any points that contradict the dogma, cursing, meaningless and pathetic personal attacks and I mean 100% without as much as an attempt to see past it. It has to mean something. An individual with a working objective mind understands that nothing, not an individual, not any entity and/or ideology can be correct and right always, 100% of the cases. Conservatives in Canada are being consumed by hateful maga mentality and are moving down the same cultist path.

When they sign the alliance I said that this has never ever worked out well for the junior partner at the next election, and even on this board i have said many many times if he goes into 2025 supporting the liberals he's toast. He HAD to pull the liberals down before that or suffer the same fate EVERY party that's tried this in canada and even in other Westminster system. So he was doomed when he hung on for his pension. If the ndp wanted to get away unscathed they needed to pull the plug in 2024. And honestly earlier in 2024 would have been great but by the end of 2024 that was their golden opportunity. And on top of that trump happened and made it worse for them. There was no way for jagmeet to undo 3 years of bad decisions and being the liberals but boy in one campaign. Now they need to find a Jack Layton to revive the party or wander in obscurity for the next three elections

The uninitiated might think that @robosmith and his ilk are displaying the ultimate in hypocrisy. They are not. It is not a double standard, it is the standard. They fully believe that the laws should only apply to those that are not on their side. That is the standard. It is a basic tenet of communism/socialism/Marxism.

A lot smarter than electing the liar and Trump stooge who will save us from paper straws! We should have a tariff on importing toxic MAGA ideas to put an end to this nonsense

The OP's toaster. It's probably tuned to Rebel News.

I know, I have grand kids. That’s why I mentioned toys, they are one of the worst examples.

No, the judge literally disagreed they were journalists, citing that almost nothing they produce is original news content. It was an emphatic rebuke of who Rebel Media is and what they do, with the federal court judge summarizing that the large majority of what they publish has no basis in facts and that what little that does is almost all coming from other organizations and being reposted. For you to sit there and point at the fact that 2% of what they post is actual original news content is proof of their journalism chops is peak comedy. You are what you do, and if 98% of your time is spent doing things other than journalism, calling yourself a journalist is retarded, but very on-brand for you. 🤣👌

Forget about straws for a minute. Think about cheese slices. Americans eat about 16 lbs of 'American cheese' a year. Some of that will be in spreadables, some in industrial blocks, but I'm guessing about half will be cheese slices, individually wrapped. (Think of all the burgers and sandwiches every day) A package of slices (just under a pound) has 22 slices. That's 23 pieces of plastic per package. So 8 x 23 x 340,000,000 = about 60,000,000,000 pieces of plastic a year. Thin plastic that breaks down into micro plastics that end up in the soil and the water, then in our foods. Even if my math isn't perfect, you get the point. I believe New York State has already taken one stab at banning them. Other jurisdictions will too. A ban can't come soon enough.

The CPC won the popular vote last election and still lost. The FPTP system rewards broad-based support. If PP can't do well in Ontario and Quebec, who cares if he has extraordinary support out East and West.

Lol...Leticia James is being destroyed and the Libbies can't save her. So delicious.

Hahahaha CBC is mocking Rebel News for selling ads. Well - unlike the CBC which is being funded by us, the REBEL NEWS has to sell ads to survive. AND, they seem, to be doing well! Lo - pretty soon......CBC may have to be selling ads too. Just like everybody else. How will you fare then?

Yup, with the same mistrustful suspicious mindset of a paranoid Roman Inquisitor and all the tenacity of a pitbull. It took 359 years for you people to finally pardon Galileo. Like I said right wing conservatism has been bonkers over the news for a very long long time. It's as bad as it's ever been in my lifetime and I suspect we'll never hear the end of it.

Showed up to a media scrum as campaign advertisers and political advocates for starters. This pissed off the journalists who were there which caused the Debate Commission to react badly and that's all she wrote. You can blame it on the stupid Debate Commission which was bought into existence by the previous Conservative government that was baked with the same conspiracy gas you guys are regarding the media. The right wing has been all fùcked up about the news for decades and decades. You people are as bad as the dumbasses who locked Galileo up and for the very same reason.

It was Clinton and the WTO.! Your spending spree dreams on welfare only identify you as shallow.

Ten articles out of the ~420+ they posted. TEN. That's 2% of their content. The judge confirmed they don't qualify as a journalism organization. ...and we both know what it means when you need to start telling everyone you're winning. 🤡

Lol nope! That's the part the federal judge confirmed they don't actually do. When asked to submit a 3-week period of their content for review, only 10 out of 400+ "articles" they published had anything even resembling original news content. Ranting uselessly about stuff and spreading 10-IQ misinformation doesn't count as news. If it did, you'd be the most prolific "journalist" in the country! 🤣

Yeah, exactly. They're all in it together. BBC, CBC, Europe's Broadcasting Union, AP, Reuters, the NY Times, Washpo, Google, Youtube, Twitter, FB, FBI, Illuminati, the Free Masons, the Mind Control Vampires from Zeta Reticuli... They're all in it together to fool us. 🤡🤡🤡 The bubble is comfy. The bubble is safe. 🫂

So just read the news about two teenage girl hikers from Germany who were arrested in Hawaii, jailed and deported to Japan of all places. They were arrested for not having pre-booked hotel rooms and being accused of seeking to work and say ICE wrote false documents to prove their case. I will presume that like Canadians, the USA no longer needs tourists as all the hospitality workers will be busy making socks, Teddy bears, stripping and winding wires in Donald's imaginary new manufacturing plants. When you think they couldn't go any lower, Magatts reply hold my beer...

And further to my earlier comments the immigration policy whether beneficial or not went through an actual policy process in that there were various experts and stakeholders advocating for it for a ling time it wasn’t just Trudeau sitting on a throne issuing decrees based on his own uninformed hunches. FWIW that immigration is also credited for being the primary reason Canada didn’t enter recession and before Trump’s tariffs Canada had been forecasted to lead the G7 in growth in 2025 because of it.

Geez, whom do we trust: The guy who just got caught telling 4 whopping lies in the last two months, the guy who didn't get caught on any whoppers in the last 21 years? What evidence did Carney present, aside from his own declaration? It shows how desperate these grimy pieces of shit are getting when they have to add their new lies about abortion to their global warming and plastic straws BS.

If I had to meet JD Vance, I'd want to die too.

Trump is clearly following the Orbán playbook here. Antisemitism, gay/transgender rights and immigration are just convenient pretexts for him to suppress opposition to his deeply authoritarian aims. It’s obvious.

Exactly. People who think this is normal aren't being honest. The line of thinking is: objectivity is impossible so why even try ? Instead we'll openly and aggressively push one candidate and tell everyone the others are the same. Shameful behaviour and we should do our best to ignore it.

Levant and his freak show were not in attendance as legitimate news sources but as registered political advocates. The government's Leaders Debate Commission that allowed this nonsense to happen needs to be scrapped and responsibility for organizing televised debates and following question periods returned to the consortium of national broadcasters that used to do it. This is like the dumbass approach the White House is taking and using to stack it's press scrums with political advocates instead of a properly vetted press pool that's organized by journalists themselves. And it's all a result of the unending right wing moral panic over media and news.

This open letter from two police offers is quite damning for the Liberal Party. Calls for 9 Ministers to resign - all with good reason. Prime Minister Carney Open Letter Package.pdf - Google Drive

Happily give it up too apparently. They're torching a level of influence they invested decades building, with both blood and treasure sometimes. Historians and economists will be kept busy for generations trying to quantify and tally up the cost of bad will being generated. They'll be suffering the consequences for decades.
