Well the official opposition's job is to complain. To hold the government accountable. Could the CPC do a better job at providing specific solution proposals instead of vague slogans like "stop the crime, build the homes" etc? Yes absolutely. They do that because most voters will agree on reducing crime and building more homes, but not everyone will agree on the solutions to do it. The problem with the Liberals is that they have formed the government for 10 years now and their solutions which have been enacted policy have been largely failures. You can't blame the CPC for any of the failures of Liberal policy or their NDP partners who supported them.

In this time where the US is threatening Canadian identity, it's nice to be reminded that we are part of a very cool group of nations: The Commonwealth. I'm sure many think we should just become a run-of-the-mill Republic, but being part of this club based on the British form of government is a desirable trait to the Canadian identity. The last time the true head of state gave a throne speech in Canada was in 1977. I think the gesture of having him speak to usher in this new government is a powerful symbol of Canadians true identity.

Not debatable with people who's brains hardened to rock, that's for sure. Mr Bonespurs who called them suckers and losers is to be worshipped as the hero.

Memorial day is about recognizing the people who were willing to do what Trump would not and paid the ultimate price for it. Instead he makes it a campaign speach and you cheer his hypocrisy and bullshit. What does that say about you.

But they have been trying to make Canada stronger. But if the party in power doesn’t agree with their policy prescriptions there isn’t anything that they can do. The Liberal party is solely to blame for their policies, and the mess that Canada finds itself in. It’s not the conservatives fault that it took 6 years for them to finally eliminate the consumer carbon tax for example. Conservatives wanted it gone several years ago, but didn’t have the legislative power to do do.

Is what democrats communicate to non-citizens. Change my mind.

"HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY TO ALL, INCLUDING THE SCUM THAT SPENT THE LAST FOUR YEARS TRYING TO DESTROY OUR COUNTRY THROUGH WARPED RADICAL LEFT MINDS, WHO ALLOWED 21,000,000 MILLION PEOPLE TO ILLEGALLY ENTER OUR COUNTRY, MANY OF THEM BEING CRIMINALS AND THE MENTALLY INSANE, THROUGH AN OPEN BORDER THAT ONLY AN INCOMPETENT PRESIDENT WOULD APPROVE, AND THROUGH JUDGES WHO ARE ON A MISSION TO KEEP MURDERERS, DRUG DEALERS, RAPISTS, GANG MEMBERS, AND RELEASED PRISONERS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD, IN OUR COUNTRY SO THEY CAN ROB, MURDER, AND RAPE AGAIN — ALL PROTECTED BY THESE USA HATING JUDGES WHO SUFFER FROM AN IDEOLOGY THAT IS SICK, AND VERY DANGEROUS FOR OUR COUNTRY," Amen.

@robosmith will say the equivalent of " because Orange Man bad!"

In terms you can wrap you head around @herbie, is ya gits wut ya pays fer. You fckers begged for this. Dared us to fight back. Now sit down, shut up, and deal with your own sh1t.

Oh boy... when you have to sit here trying to explain a phrase means something it doesn't, you are losing. Also, for many of those pushing that phrase, it means exactly what it means. Its only after the fact, that you folks on the left realized what a losing message this was, you started coming up with this lie that "oh no, no, we didn't really mean what we said"

Wotsa matter did you just lose a game of conkers? You shouldn't eat horse chestnuts.

Do you know what "defund the police" actually means? Police are ill equipped to handle the mentally ill, so it means to steer some of the money to mental health professionals.

100 % right the federal fiscal budget is from Apr 1st to march 31 st, and i might be wrong here but the budget we all were expecting was more of the liberals game plan such as what was announced in the throne speech, the budget which will be tabled later this year was how they were going to pay for all these campaign promises and their way forward....and where is all this new money coming from.... So yes we want him to table a new budget, to tell us how is going to pay for all his new promises or policies, as i'm sure Justins budget did not take in any of the new liberal direction...that make sense... What your suggesting is , is there is no way to find out who or what is going to be spent until a new fiscal year....which is not very transparent is it ? As we have a new government with a brand new direction, that no funding has been attached to....would it not be like a blank check let's spend what we want until we are forced to table a fiscal budget in Apr of next year...just 10 months from now...so a full year of no budget?

He claims to be a lot of things he isn't.

I don't care if you are left or right, you are a disgrace.

That's just pathetic. The people who died for your country mean nothing to you other than being able to use their day to spew your hate.

Because the voices in his head SAID so!!! Pay attention to the voices!!

Memorial Day isn't about Trump or any other politician. It isn't about grinding political axes or for you to use as a platform. It's about recognizing the people who died serving their country, all of them, regardless of their personal beliefs or politics. You are f*cking pathetic, it's no wonder you idolize a scumbag like Trump.

Just to be clear, you're claiming someone who has been the fiscal advisor to the liberals for 5 years and who has access to all the budgetary officers of the CURRENT gov't who know every detail required is somehow 'brand new' to parliament? Every single gov't in Canadian history produced a budget even if they were elected just before budget time. Harper was elected in january, turned one out a few months later. Others did too. So can you explain why a man who's supposed to be an economic and fiscal genus who is intimately familiar with the finances and budgets to date who has access to the current gov't ministers and experts who know the financial situation back and forward and who produced a platform budget to run on... why THAT guy CANNOT do what every other prime minister before him has done? As always your lies in defense of the indefensible are comical but what can one expect from someone who would happily sell out their country if it meant keeping their beloved liberals in power.

NDP will not be granted official party status: government House leader So the NDP won't be getting official party status, and that decision is not terribly hard to defend. There is a minimum number of seats for a reason, they're not even close. But was it the smart decision? The liberals COULD have given it to them if they'd wanted. The argument for not doing so is that the liberals only won because they stole the NDP vote. Without that it would have been a cpc majority. Giving the NDP official status means they get MORE time in question period, more committees more money and they'll have an easier time to rebuild and get their name out there to the public. And that might not go well for the libs who are going to need those votes next election. The CPC base is now about 40 percent... the libs are no where near that. BUT..... and here's the onion.... NOW the ndp will be MUCH MORE MOTIVATED to call an election! If they'd had party status and gotten their money back and had the perks, they might have been happy with taking the next 3 or 4 years to rebuild and get their act together in a more meaningful fashion. But now... whomever becomes leader will be aching to have that party status back. Even if they have to foucs all their powers on just 20 ridings that will flip their way, and win maybe 15 of them, that would see them back in the game with a base they could build on. The moment they think they can pull that off they're likely to consider an election. It would be huge to get party status back. The liberals may have bought themselves an earlier election by denying them status, but MAYBE they'll keep some of that ndp vote? Good move? Bad move? Thoughts?

LOL. If only that was the Libs too.

Lets get together and make Canada better. Stop being partisan and blaming everyone else. All in parliament can take the blame for what we became. Harper got the boot for poor leadership and Trudeau carried on with no one able to make a difference. The cons had 4 attempts and blew them all.

Ostensibly that would seem to be the case, as it appears to be nothing more than an unsubstantiated opinion. However; in this case, what I said was just a concise statement of the obvious: your comment was just a glaring example of cultist yammering.

Thats bull sh!t...In this country everyone has the same rights same opportunities as the next guy, people willing to get a good education, work hard are rewarded in this country...not everyone is willing to do those things, take here in NB a large portion of the population is on welfare or Poggy, they either don't want to work, or find a job that works 4 seasons becasue of personal preference...I call it it being to lazy to get a job, why work when they can sit at home do nothing and have the government pay their way....and it is generational, our government created that problem... .... there is going to be times where people are going to need a helping hand...but to take advantage of government assistance for decades is not right ....what needs to happen is cut them off, give them a year to sort out their problems then cut them off force them to school or work... Our entire democracy works that way, no where in the constitution does it say there is a free ride for those that don't want to put in the work....there are opportunities out there for anyone that is looking ..can't do that from the couch or waiting for your government check...

I agree with the vast majority of that but they don't want to just automatically say 'no' when the libs say 'yes'. They need to be more relevant than that. They have to show they matter and that their existence isn't' just "pro" or "anti" liberal. ANd there's the practical. The way elections work is that political parties get back 3/4 or what they spend or there abouts in refunds from the gov't. SO they go into debt to finance campaigns. But the ndp didn't make 'official party' so they're not getting their money back. They are so broke it's ridiculous. And they have only 8 percent support in the latest polls, donations are going to be hard to come by. SO the next leader is going to have to focus at least in part on raising money or they won't be able to fight ANY election campaign. They can't afford to go to an election too soon. So they'll have to be a LITTLE careful about how they vote.

Especially when the right wing simply thinks it's wrong to even try. The world is over crowded and over exploited, the gap between haves and have nots is growing and automation and AI are poised to throw millions out of work. And now right wing society want to double down on the moral imperative that it's everyone for themselves and you produce or die. You people just don't get inevitability do you?

robowoke wants to turn the US over to native Americans and then join the nearest tribe. I wonder if they would have him? Something tells me they'd kick his a$$ out the moment he started b*tching about climate change and the lack of pronouns.

Next step, Robo runs away. This is the usual pattern with leftists on here. They push the trans madness, then they act like they have no clue why this is even an issue, then they play ignorant and dumb on the things being done - they deny it is happening, and then they after doing all this they will try to defend it or just run away and do it all over again. Oh, and if you ever ask them how to define a woman... look out for fun on how they obfuscate that one.

California and other places where Democrats have enough control to pass such laws. Not only did they pass these laws, they went further to prevent any other school districts from having policies to inform parents. This is no lie: California bans school rules requiring parents notification of child's pronoun change https://www.npr.org/2024/07/16/nx-s1-5041437/california-bans-school-rules-requiring-parents-notification-of-childs-pronoun-change

It is the Karma. What did NDP for the Liberals? In exchange for just one program, NDP supported the Liberals like if they were a majority. This is a huge gift. How do the people appreciate it? They voted Liberals since NDP became so irrelevant. That is lesson number one. Now that the Liberals get more powerful and NDP miserable, how do the Liberals thank NDP for such loyalty? By spitting on them and refuse them the official party status. That is lesson number two. Do the NDP learn the lesson this time? We'll see. As soon as the NDP will get its new leader, it should refuse to support ALL motions of confidence toward to Liberals. They have nothing to lose anyway at this point. But if they keep supporting the Liberals, then it means they learn nothing. They get what they deserve.

That is beyond stupid. Our entire system is set up for them to be the official opposition and to oppose. Their job is to pressure test the government and its solutions and to hold them to account. What school did you go to where you didn't learn even the basics about how our system works

expect a Royal "whoopsie !" when his head rolls off tapping him with the sword.

Ok...the conservatives lost. Now... Elbows Up.

William Prince of Orange is the founder of Parliamentary Supremacy, it's the Canadian system of governance, so if you're not Orange, you would be rendered into an American republican by default therein, which is fair enough, perhaps you are an American republican, and so be it, but to be Canadian, one must be Orange by definition upon the Parliament Hill founded by the Dutch Regent in 1690

It was prorogued, it did NOT dissolve when the election was called. Amazing how quickly we forget.

No, I think asylum and refugee considerations should not be based on race at all. Trump disagrees. He's aggressively shut down the legal routes that non-whites were using at the southern border, while opening up a special path for white "refugees" fleeing a fictional genocide. It's blatantly racist, and you're eager to defend it. You know, like the whites only rules we used to have all over the southern US. After restoring statues and renaming parks and monuments to honor Confederate generals, I'm sure he'll get around to editing the dedication for the Statue of Liberty: "Give us your tired, your poor, your huddled WHITE masses yearning to breathe free."

Never said that. Why do you not want to have a decent country with law and order? So what you mean is we can't stop all the crime and disorder in society? Doesn't sound too rational. Do you seriously think arresting and immediately releasing dangerous offenders is a Charter Right? No rational person would think like that. Many of the problems we have with crime and bad behavior is because they have mental problems and nothing is done about it. How about creating mental institutions and committing people who are determined to be a danger to society. The liberal ideology that they should not be in mental institutions has proven a disaster. Carney mentioned tightening up the bail laws, but he didn't say anything about all the mentally disturbed people that are everywhere.

Sure we are. When we're talking about the behavior of a president of the united states or an official of the united states then we are talking about accepted practices and established precedent. Trump is not the first president of the united states. Perhaps you were unaware of that. Of COURSE the established norms of those elected officials and presidents who went before him are ABSOLUTLY part of the discussion. The dems forgave clinton's OBVIOUS influence peddling, they forgave biden's pretty flagrant influence peddling and all under the guise that there was not proof of either sufficient for them to be arrested. (there absolutely was evidence and strong evidnce in BOTH cases but not enough for criminal charges). Well, there's no evidence of a crime here either. So either they're ALL just fine or none of them are ok, but the dems have already set that bar as "it's fine". So no whining now. you go back to tripling your home's value with a credit card

Yet again, another absurdly dishonest post. We were in the middle of a Pandemic, with the economy, jobs, and just about everything else at a low point. A blind monkey could have been elected President and presided over the inevitable end of the Pandemic, resulting in an improvement in all of those metrics. Keep hiding, coward. Keep hiding.

we;re not talking about Clinton or Biden, are we? They're not the subject of discussion. Whatabout, whatabout, you're unable to even see that you're not discussing subject A by discussing subject B instead, are you? It's because you can't defend the indefensible.

robowoke constantly shills for his globalist overlords. It's the only way he can get through each day without his conscience shutting him down completely.

That is exactly what your doing, liberals did the bare minimum it could to stay in power, in fact the last 4 years NDP forced them to take action on a few files.... Opposition party does not run the governing parties agenda,or set policies the job of the opposition party is to hold the current government accountable for it's actions...and in the case of a majority just explain to us how or when the conservatives were needed to help....And i'm pretty sure during Covid all parties worked together to pass legislation needed. You blame them because you can't step back and blame those responsible becasue they are on your team... Justin does not get to get away with all the sh!t he pulled while on his watch, he owns every minute he was in power....

Yup, I am. I blame them because as legislators, they should be trying and helping make Canada stronger and, as you say, since 2015,, the party, and particularly the party leader, has done nothing for Canada except whine. We have been stuck with a minority government and the NDP getting what it wants.] Imagine what we could have been with simple cooperation.

Parliament dissolves when an election is called and resumes after a new government is formed. Nothing different here. As a matter of fact it is resuming earlier than normal after an election because the campaign only lasted the minimum time allowed by law. After Harper was elected in late January 2006, Parliament didn't sit until early April. If you look back, a month between an election and parliament's first sitting is pretty standard.
