1. Left-leaning parties have been "trying" for the last 10 years in this country. What did the Liberals accomplish? What did the Liberal-NDP alliance accomplish? Large deficit spending on social programs and taxes on fossil fuels causes inflation (not saying those are the only reasons for recent inflation). The most left-leaning cities in the country are unaffordable dystopian sh!holes filled with drugs, theft, and gang violence. Mass immigration has contributed to inflation, healthcare overcrowding, and crime. 2. Canada has among the lowest birthrates in the world and a low population density. Countries like India, China etc are far more to blame. Maybe even the US compared to Canada. 3. What do you want the Liberals to do differently? What are your proposed solutions? It's very easy to say "let's reduce income inequality", but the devil is in the details. What do you propose specifically? The rich are already taxed at least 50%+ in this country. We've raised minimum wages and started new dental/pharma/daycare programs (that aren't being costed and paid for and just added to the debt). The problems of inequality are far more troublesome in the US. In Canada our biggest economic problems are housing and rent affordability and the resulting decrease in standard of living because of the % of people's paychecks going to mortgages/rents. Leftwing politicians have made these issues worse. The boomers don't want their house prices to go down. Yet we need a lot of immigration because of plummeting birthrates, which are the direct result of decades of progressives pushing for things like birth control use, abortion, women in the workplace etc. to a radical degree. I'm not claiming the CPC or GOP have ideal solutions either. I think all the main parties in Canada and the US are filled with ideological nutjobs. Centrist politicians with reasonable solutions are an endangered species. 4. Stop projecting things onto me.

They’ve made a number of proposals, but they don’t have legislative power to implement them. They advocated for eliminating the consumer carbon tax several years ago. Liberals ignored. They’ve advocated for linking immigration to housing and health care. Liberals ignored. They e advocated for building pipelines and LNG facilities. Liberals ignored. They’ve advocated for a path to a balanced budget. Liberals ignored. They’ve advocated for repealing C69 so that Canada can start developing its resources in a faster manner. Liberals ignored. You’re still consumed with blaming parties that have had no power to make changes, while absolving those that have. Your argument lacks any logic and reason.

Dan Bongino is very careful with his words. In this case he called all three cases instances of potential public corruption. It is interesting that he included the J6 Pipe Bomber case as an example of public corruption.

AND SOME OF THEM VOTED! Called it. We told you! Errr.... We informed you thusly.

https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/5319441-rahm-emanuel-democratic-party-toxic/ The Dumbocrats are currently committing political suicide. They're stuck on policies and an ideology that is disgusting and hugely unpopular. And I say... Keep it up girly-boys...keep it up.

These arguments are just a ruse. There is no amount of precaution that Israel can take that would ever be good enough except for the one where they just put IDF soldiers standing on the street corner to get shot and killed, where they can never shoot back.

Nice comparison....the NAZI's also killed everyone that they did not like or spoke up, funny i don't see any concentration camps pop up, or random mass shootings of civilians....

1. Isn't Rahm Emanuel where he is because of 'woke politics'? 2. Emanuel: “If you want the country to give you the keys to the car, somebody’s got to be articulating an agenda that’s fighting for America, not just fighting [President] Trump.”... Sorry Rahm, the "fighting for America" lane is already chock-full of GOPers. What are you gonna do Rahmy-boiii, just copy all of their ideas, like Mark Carney, only to "change your mind" after you're elected?

I see Hodad is over here pushing his usual dishonest BS. You see, what he is doing here is blurring history together as if Trump, in one edict, said no one gets in except these few white people over here. Clearly dishonest framing. Trump ended ALL refugee programs at the outset of his administration. There was nothing racist or racial about it. As time went on, later in his administration, this was one of the first revisions to that initial pause. Focused on this specific situation, not on race. This doesn't apply to white people from other places. Nothing blatantly racist about it.

Thrown out by a federal judge. https://www.reuters.com/legal/bidens-catch-release-border-policy-struck-down-by-us-judge-2023-03-08/ Biden's 'catch and release' border policy struck down by US judge March 8 (Reuters) - A federal judge in Florida on Wednesday agreed with the state's Republican attorney general that the policy of President Joe Biden's administration to release many people who illegally cross the U.S.-Mexican border rather than detaining them violates U.S. immigration law. U.S. District Judge T. Kent Wetherell in Pensacola blocked the administration from continuing to implement a 2021 Department of Homeland Security (DHS) memo that had authorized "alternatives to detention" to ease overcrowding in detention facilities. These alternatives included ankle bracelets, phone monitoring or check-ins by immigration officers. Republican critics have called the policy "catch and release."

Canada is in such bad shape because we’ve had a government in office for over a decade that’s pursued terrible policies that have made things worse for everyone except for the very wealthy.

The vote was held following a series of contentious meetings over the past two months. On April 8, the board approved a resolution to end DEI within the school division, citing concerns that such policies and programs could violate a Trump administration executive order that threatened federal funding for DEI-related initiatives. You bet your ass, and thank you, Virginia Beach, for not defacing buildings or setting automobiles on fire. https://www.13newsnow.com/article/news/local/mycity/virginia-beach/vbcps-vote-dei-rollback-policy-language-changes/291-53b9ee07-495d-4811-92cf-e4fe29fc714b?ref=exit-recirc

That's wrong. I'm taking about when millions of labourers have been laid off by AI and automation in the near future, near enough we should be planning for it now. And all conservatives want to talk about is their past grievances with the left while insisting AI and automation is no excuse for welfare. Oh well, I guess there'll be lots of opportunities related to protecting the owners of AI and shaking down unemployed people.

I do believe it was a mistake one that historians have argued for decades...Many brits would tell you different story's about the effectiness of the bombings, had the nazi's had the same capacity of bombers the allied had i think the brits would be telling a much different story....ask the Germans / Japanese what they thought of allied bombing. Ukraine is a mere shell of what it once was , it will take decades to rebuild everything back to what it once was... Your forgetting fighting in europe was total warfare, killing incent civilians was done on purpose to get them to pressure their government into a surrender. In Israel conflict that is not an option....the country is following the Geneva convention and is being monitored on the ground every day by dozens or organizations...Hamas knows the Geneva convention as well and uses it to their full advantage, inflating numbers is what they do...The convention also spells out very clearly that hospitals are forbidden targets..."Unless" the enemy is using them to their own tactical advantage, then the revert back to military targets and can be bombed...most people in the world don't know about the conventions so they gasp every time a school or hospital is bombed.... Boots on the ground is very very expensive in manpower...and death tolls would be ten times higher if That's all they relied on....Israelis are using every precaution in the book plus many more to ensure the death tolls are as low as they are...you don't drop a 2000lb bomb and not kill everything in a two to 3 block radius....unless you told people to get out... No i don't blame it on being anti Semitic, but i do blame most people not very educated on the subject, if they had read up on what is going on , with both sides not many would be supporting Hamas in any way...Israel is going to destroy these terrorist one way or another , and if that takes push all palestinians into the sea that is what is going to happen, Israel has been pushed to far...I spent 6 months in Israel/ Sinai peninsula/ Gaza, and trust me Palestinians are not the angles people think of...

Yet you just admitted that's the only thing you can't see. In a similar comparison would you acknowledge that the German's switching to the Blitaz and bombing London civilians instead of military objectives like RAF airfields was a mistake? The Brits have said so. That only hardened British resolve and led them to feel bombing civilians in return was fully justified. Blowing the shit out of Korea and Vietnam didn't work either. Nor has it worked on the Ukraine. It turns the people against you, not their own leaders. Obviously I don't condone Oct 7. But I'm a little sick of reading about 50 people in a school or hospital wach day and ONE terrorist leader wiped out every month year after year. And now they admit the overall plan, which they could've accomplished in a week with boots on the ground and tens of thousands fewer civilian deaths. Surely you, claiming military skill with your very username can see that is neither supporting Hamas nor antiSemitic in any way. Loathing the leaders and the Generals of any country is not anti citizen.

As is the awkward truth that the Governor General is the effective head of state, that despite the title of the King's representative in Canada, the GG does not consult the Monarch on decisions. The entire editorial was a desperate, petty attempt to frame a very minor thing as a major event using the writer's own obscure reasoning. .

Man has worked through it's issues with other countries by waging war...We as a race have not figured out any other way to solve problems....so we kill each other until one side gives up....in this case Hamas a known terrorist group does not care about anything other than it's cause which is to destroy Israel and all jews wherever they reside in the world.... With out this war people " Us people "are saying Palestinians have the right to invade and kill Israelis on their whim...Israelis are saying FU palestinians we have a bigger stick we will kill you....and the world does not like this....and yet has not come up with a viable solution for both sides to agree to.. The winner will be declared when enough palestinians die they will demand peace and kick out their terrorist oppressor's Hamas....

For Christ sake can you understand the term "Loyal" Opposition? Or the difference between opposing and sheer obstructionism? For over a year under PP they offered no constructive criticism, no alternative solutions, just spent the entire time trying to force no confidence motions and dream up slogans. If you can't see that, it's obvious you can't see the overall picture of why they LOST the election.

If there are so many, I'm sure you could name them. I'll start Democrats grapple with ‘jarring’ lack of diversity in DNC race

Thanks for posting the truth about Trump NOT winning the majority of votes after PREVIOUSLY DENYING THAT. LMAO From your Hill cite:

Including Vancouver.

Well, that would be those endless parades of angry foreign Muslims in our streets screaming about how we need to kill Jews Zionists. There are a number of differences. First, their preferences are not reflected in government policy, and never have been or there'd be no Palestinians. On the other hand, we saw on Oct 7 what Palestinians would do if they ever got loose in a civilized country. If you think they wouldn't do the same thing here, you're very much mistaken. They only lack the power.

The Liberals have adopted American social justice policies which have failed miserably there and have failed miserably here. The idea is that all criminals, however violent, are really the victims of society. Especially if they're not white Christians. Anyone else is presumed to be the victim of harsh and brutal racism and oppression and so must be coddled and comforted and excused their criminality as it's not really their fault. This is especially so of Black people because they're incredibly inferior and it's wrong to expect them to act in a civilized manner like white people.* At the same time they've also adopted climate change policies which have hugely hampered our resource industry while growing government bureaucracy and the regulatory environment, so that it can take years and years to cut through all the red tape to get anything built or started. And even if you succeed, the added costs of following all the regulations, keeping records of everything, and regularly forwarding these to government make things much less profitable. *Yes, I know they don't openly think this and would be appalled at anyone who did but this is, deep down, how they think about Black people. That's why they're so paternalistic towards them with a kind of "There, there, little thing. It's not your fault you poor creature" attitude.

What part of the conservatives losing the last 4 elections, as voted by Canadians do you not understand? Canadians want someone that will help Canada, not hinder it and clearly the conservatives are not part of the solution, according to Canadians.

This just drives home the point that Democrats aren't about women's issues. Their true goal is to make victims out of anyone and everything, then give them government cheese and then get them to keep voting for government handouts.

conservative issues are falling on the 80 side of 80/20 polling. The only way the left can keep the voting close is to import votes.

Rachel Levine should be handed a dishonorable discharge for being out of uniform.

Robowoke, are you even aware of how many illegal alien criminal invaders YOUR party let into the country under Biden's watch? The answer is no, you have no idea how many illegal alien criminal invaders YOUR party let in, so why are you spewing your nonsensical bullshit all over this thread? You know that nobody believes you degenerates, right?

One reason it's true is because degenerates like you are trying to use humor to cover it up rather than blow the argument to smithereens with cold hard facts.

Goin' for another crow dinner I see. Good...good.

It's practically renewable (for canadians anyway). And it's safer than any other permanent reliable source of power. The current one being built is the first of it's kind and took less than a decade from design to authorization to proceed. And any mega power project costs billions. Go look up the site c dam Its genius. There is no 'renewable' energy source the way you mean it that is reliable. The sun sets. Wind stops. we've seen the results. Thee is no effective storage of electricity right now. So nuclear power provides a perfect emissions free alternative that runs 24 7 every day of the year, is safer than any other reliable energy source, and can be placed anywhere. It would make the whole 'carbon' problem go away for good. Which is why you hate it. You don't care about climate change, you care about having something to be angry about.

But it's not his personal use. It's for the use of the current president of the united states. No matter how you like to sing and dance that is the simple truth. It's no different than the current air force one, it's not there for his personal use either. You twist and turn and wine and cry but at the end of the day you cannot make this his personal property. If he accepts it he will be accepting it to use as president to the united states unless he just accepts it and allows it to sit on a Tarmac somewhere as a gift. Again your hatred and bigotry blind you. Everything I've said is 100% the truth

Your response to the OP's question "Why is Canada such a mess?" was (your exact quote) "Because conservatives have done nothing to help make it better". The CPC hasn't had any legislative power for 10 years. The Liberals, and to a smaller extent the NDP, are largely to blame here when it comes to federal parties. And the voters who keep voting them back into power.

Gestapo? You're beyond help. The words "defund the police" speak for themselves. Regardless of your limp-ass excuses.

Sure but now try to imagine this ethos in a world where most human labour just isn't required - where we'd just be in the way of the robots. You better hope AI is left wing is all I can say.

^Violating (pre-Bondi) DoJ policy against publicly declaring investigations prior to INDICTMENTS. There's a REASON for that policy and that's because it WAS JUSTICE, whereas the new policy is POLITICS.

Oh bugger off with your insane vision of Kings 500 years ago. You live under one who acts like one and thinks he's the King of Kings. You're living in a country founded under the delusion the King passed the tax laws they rebelled against.

Geez, if it's on X it's GOTTA be true!

What about the credit for what we've become. Ranked 4th best country to live in in 2024. Just sayin'. It isn't all gloom and doom, unless your glasses are tinted that way.

First, not a liberal. In fact last time I voted Liberal was for David Pratt and that was only because I knew him personally. Now back to your lack of understanding of economics. Canada's fiscal year is from April 1st to March 31st, much like many businesses. I could explain the reasons for this but I'm sure it would fall on most likely deaf ears and most definitely ignorant ones So either you want him to table a budget for fiscal year that was over half way through the first quarter when a new government took over. OR you were expecting him to release a budget as an unelected party leader weeks before a close election? Or did you have another idea , untethered from the realities associated with finance at that scale, or in your case any scale And, as you often do, you've argued against your own point. We'll to be fair this specific point. Your overall pointis just Libs bad, because you're a partisan hack. You said Harper elected in JANUARY (hint January is before April) months before the fiscal year started, (Again Months Before) and still tabled a budget. Your right and many economists didn't think he could and were impressed when he did. I too thought this was quite an accomplishment, because I'm not a partisan hack But Please continue to show you're nothing but a crotchety old man that has nothing in his life other than spouting the ignorant talking points of the grifters that confirm your pre-existing bias , behind your keyboard (probably still running windows 98. You're the internet equivalent of the old man yelling at kids to get off his yard, both sad and amusing at the same time. At least very entertaining when I come on the rare times I'm not living in the real world. You should try it.

I think it is pretty well recognized that Trudeau's immigration policy was a huge mistake.

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.

But they did have to pay hundreds of millions for lying to their viewers AND editing film to do it

By some accounts, 5000 are dying each week. === I agree with Trump. This death and destruction must stop. It should never have happened.

Exactly, you offered nothing but a bunch of made up BS.

They can host entire yodeling competitions in your head couldn't they? The Acoustics must be amazing.

Carney is still a left wing ideologue. He talked like a red tory during the election to trick people into voting for him but at the end of the day he's still a woke social justice loser. Of course he's going to side with the terrorists, just like ilhan omar and the crew. And the palestinians in canada will actually attack him, while the jews will not. Jews don't have violent protests so why would he side with them? Isreal needs to wrap this up one way or another. These tards will make life more and more difficult for them over time.

Turns out “elbows up” means reducing tariffs on American imports to near zero. Despite all the rhetoric from Mark Carney and the Liberals, a new report shows that Canada has effectively eliminated tariffs on most goods. Oxford Economics, a global advisory firm, looked into the matter and found tariffs are nullified by exemptions and suspensions to effectively mean the tariffs are either gone or near zero in most cases. https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/politics/lilley-carney-dropped-most-tariffs-the-day-after-meeting-trump/ar-AA1EVzpu?cvid=c987a88a9b764428b91bc4a7c1b20089&ocid=bingnews Most are gone except for groceries. Bow to your Red Overlord peons.
