Here's the list......... April 21: Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre promises a government led by him would build 2.3 million homes over the next five years. He also promises to “reward” cities that allow 15 per cent more homebuilding each year and to sell off federal land for building new homes. April 20: Poilievre says a government led by him would cut the amount of money it spends on consultants by $10 billion annually. April 19: Poilievre says he would give judges the ability to “mandate treatment” for people with addictions, and impose life sentences on people who traffic fentanyl. April 18: Poilievre pledges to reverse the ban on plastic straws and grocery bags, and to overturn the former Liberal government’s plan to phase out certain single-use plastic products by 2030. Poilievre says that will save Canadians money and help restaurants and grocers do business. He also says he would provide $22 billion in Russian assets to Ukraine to help fund its defence against Russia. April 17: Poilievre promises a “First Arctic Defence Plan” that would procure a fleet of aircraft to increase radar surveillance, build a 600 km road from Yellowknife to Gray’s Bay, and construct a new naval base at Churchill, Man. He also promises to double the size of the Canadian Rangers from 2,000 to 4,000, purchase two new icebreakers and build a permanent military base in Iqaluit. April 14: Poilievre promises to protect older voters from fraud by punishing banks and telecoms that don’t do enough to prevent it. The Conservative plan calls on banks and telecoms to implement real-time scam detection on seniors’ accounts. Poilievre promises to fine companies up to $5 million if they don’t implement the “latest technology to stop scams” and to impose mandatory penalties and jail time on those committing the crimes. April 14: Poilievre says he would use the notwithstanding clause, which allows the government to override some Charter rights for a limited time, to impose consecutive life sentences on multiple murders. He says a Conservative government would give judges the power to sentence people who’ve been convicted of multiple murders to consecutive life sentences. Under his plan, a court could impose periods of parole ineligibility of 50, 75 or even 100 years, instead of the current limit of 25 years. April 13: Poilievre promises to introduce new legislation that would tighten transparency rules for elected officials. He says that if his party forms government, he’ll ban what he calls “shadow lobbying.” Poilievre said he also would require that cabinet ministers “divest fully from tax havens” and disclose their assets. April 12: Poilievre promises to cut red tape and step up support for veterans. Poilievre says his party would ensure military veterans’ disability applications are automatically approved if they’re not processed within four months. Poilievre also says his party would give veterans control over their medical records, let military doctors assess injuries using a standardized system and ensure people are able to get service dogs for post-traumatic stress disorder. The party is pledging to make the educational and training benefit available to Armed Forces members as soon as they get their release date. April 12: Poilievre says if his party forms government it will keep Canada’s medical assistance in dying regime intact, but won’t expand it. Poilievre says a Conservative government would ensure Canadians have the right to choose a medically assisted death but will not expand the law to include advance directives. April 11: Poilievre promises that he would require that banks recognize all skilled trades and apprenticeship programs as eligible for Registered Education Savings Plans. April 10: Poilievre proposes a plan to reimburse cities for half of every dollar they cut in development charges. He says the Conservatives’ plan would make it easier to build housing and make those homes cheaper for would-be buyers. According to a party backgrounder document, the Conservatives promise to reimburse municipalities 50 per cent of the amount they cut from development fees, up to a maximum of $25,000 per home. The Conservatives claim that, combined with their plan to lift the GST from purchases of new homes under $1.3 million, the total benefit for homebuyers would be up to $115,000 per home. April 9: Poilievre promises to ban bail, parole and house arrest for repeat serious offenders. He says his “three-strikes” law wouldn’t run afoul of the Constitution, even though several justice experts have said some of his crime policies are likely to get struck down by the courts. He says a government led by him would make those convicted three times of “serious” offences ineligible for bail, probation, parole or house arrest. Those offenders would also be sentenced to a minimum prison term of 10 years and could get a life sentence. They could not “be released until they have proven that they are no longer a danger to society,” he says. April 8: The Conservatives say that if they form government, they will crack down on offshore tax loopholes by appointing a “bring it home tax task force.” In a press release, the party says the task force would make the rules simpler and more fair and ensure large companies can’t “stash their money in offshore tax havens.” The Conservatives say they would set up a website to name wealthy companies that are dodging taxes and instruct the Canada Revenue Agency to redirect its staff away from auditing small businesses and charities and toward cracking down on tax havens. They’re also calling for an expansion of the offshore tax informant program to offer whistleblowers up to one-fifth of the money recovered from illegal tax schemes. April 7: Poilievre promises a “one-and-done” approach to approving resource projects if he becomes prime minister. He says his plan is to create a one-stop shop that sees one application and one environmental review for each project. Poilievre says he’d work with the provinces to create a single office that would coordinate project approvals across all levels of government, and would also impose a one-year cap on wait times for approvals to give businesses the certainty they need to start building. Poilievre is also promising to rapidly approve 10 projects he says are stuck in limbo, including the second phase of a liquefied natural gas project in northern B.C. April 6: Poilievre announces a Conservative plan to fund recovery treatment for 50,000 people facing addiction. He says a Conservative government would provide treatment centres with a set amount of funding based on the number of months they keep their clients drug-free. Poilievre says more funding would be provided for more complex cases, such as those facing homelessness. The Conservatives estimated the cost of the addiction recovery program at $250 million per year for four years and said the party would fund the program by making cuts to the federal government’s existing safer supply programs and suing opioid manufacturers. April 5: Poilievre promises to cut bureaucratic red tape by 25 per cent in two years. The plan for what he calls a “two-for-one” law would mandate that two regulations be repealed for every new one that is brought in. It would also require that for every dollar in new administrative costs, two dollars must be cut elsewhere to ease the burden. April 4: Poilievre says he would create a new criminal offence for assaulting an intimate partner, and pass a law to require the strictest possible bail conditions for anyone accused of intimate partner violence. That would include GPS ankle bracelet monitoring for those who are allowed out on bail. The Conservatives are also promising that the murder of an intimate partner or a child would be treated as first-degree murder. April 3: Poilievre announces a plan to cut federal sales tax from Canadian-made vehicles to support an auto industry reeling from U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs. A list of eligible new vehicles provided to media by the Conservative party include the Toyota RAV4, the Honda Civic and CRV, the Chevrolet Silverado and others from automakers with plants in Ontario. The tax cut would be temporary and would last for as long as U.S. tariffs on vehicles are in place. Poilievre also pledged to set up a $3-billion fund to loan money to businesses hit by American tariffs to keep workers employed throughout the cross-border trade dispute. April 2: Poilievre rolls out his plan to address the trade war. Poilievre said that if he becomes prime minister, he will propose an early renegotiation of the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement ahead of its planned revision in 2026. He said Canada would seek a pause on all tariffs during those negotiations. Poilievre said that if Trump moves forward with tariffs, he would support retaliatory tariffs targeting U.S. goods that Canada produces or can source elsewhere. The Conservatives are also promising a temporary loan program for businesses affected by tariffs to keep their employees working during the trade dispute. April 1: Poilievre announces he would eliminate automatic annual tax increases on alcohol. Conservatives say they will bring the tax rate back down to 2017 levels. April 1: Poilievre promises to enact a set of five demands from the country’s energy sector in the face of U.S. tariffs if his party forms government. They include streamlined regulation of projects, six-month deadlines for project approvals, an end to both the emissions cap and the industrial carbon price and the provision of Indigenous loan guarantees “at scale.” March 31: Poilievre promises to create a pre-approved national energy corridor to speed up infrastructure projects. He says that if his party forms government, it will fast-track approvals for projects such as transmission lines, railways, pipelines and other critical infrastructure. March 30: Poilievre pitches a new tax measure he says would act like “rocket fuel” for the Canadian economy -- a deferral of tax on capital gains. Poilievre says a government led by him would allow Canadians to defer capital gains tax if they reinvest those earnings in Canada. The promised tax deferral window would be open for 18 months beginning in July. The deferred tax would be recouped by the federal government once investors cash out or move the money outside of Canada. March 29: Poilievre promises to expand the tax writeoff that trade workers can declare for work travel. Trades workers can currently claim up to $4,000 in travel expenses for work tasks; Poilievre says he would expand that to include “the full cost of food, transportation and accommodation.” The change would apply to people required to travel more than 120 kilometres from their home for work -- instead of the current 150 kilometres -- and would no longer require an overnight stay. The Conservatives also say they would stop businesses from writing off luxury corporate jets; they say companies could instead write off the equivalent cost in commercial flights, unless work trips require charter transportation. March 28: Poilievre repeats an earlier promise to pass a law to impose mandatory life sentences on people found guilty of trafficking fentanyl on a large scale. He also says people who are convicted of five or more counts of human trafficking and exporting 10 or more illegal firearms would get the same life sentences to “ensure these monsters rot in jail forever.” March 27: Poilievre says a Tory government would allow Canadians to contribute another $5,000 -- for a total of $12,000 a year -- into tax-free savings accounts, provided they invest that extra money in Canadian companies. March 26: Poilievre says a Conservative government would keep the retirement age at 65. He says Conservatives would also allow working seniors to earn up to $34,000 tax-free, and allow seniors to keep their savings in an RRSP until age 73, up from 71. March 25: Poilievre promises a government led by him would maintain existing federal dental-care, pharmacare and child-care programs. March 25: Poilievre pledges to eliminate the GST on purchases of new homes for up to $1.3 million if he wins the federal election. The announcement expands on a plan the Conservatives proposed in October to eliminate the GST on new homes sold for under $1 million. The Tories also say they would help make it more attractive for municipalities to free up land, speed up permits and cut development charges to build more homes. March 24: Poilievre promises a 2.25 percentage point income tax cut that he says would save a dual-income family $1,800 per year. Poilievre says he would drop the lowest income tax bracket from 15 to 12.75 per cent and fund the cut by trimming federal government bureaucracy. March 21: Poilievre announces a plan to boost training and employment for workers in the skilled trades. Speaking at a news conference in Ottawa, Poilievre says his plan for “more boots, less suits” would expand training halls and provide direct grants and faster access to employment insurance for apprentices in licensed trades. March 20: Poilievre says he wants to create what he calls “shovel-ready zones” with pre-approved permits for major resource or energy projects. He says the goal is to get permits in place early for a mine, liquefied natural gas plant, pipeline or other major project. March 19: Poilievre says he’d “set a deadline” to approve all federal permits for mining in northwestern Ontario’s Ring of Fire region within six months. He says that a Conservative government would also commit $1 billion over three years to building a road network to link the mining sites to Ontario’s highway network and First Nations communities in the area. March 17: Poilievre says a Conservative government would repeal the entire carbon pricing law for consumers and big industry. To reduce emissions, Poilievre says his government would “expand eligibility” for the clean technology and clean manufacturing tax credits. He adds his government would “reward” businesses that make products with emissions lower than the world average.

Moral victories are for losers. If the shoe fits..... 😂

Trump lovers blaming Carney for Trump’s carnage are cowardly and weak.

I’d take Doug Ford over Carney. But not Pierre.

Alot of democrat women have the D-card but pretend its not one.

It’s another illustration of how the justice system was politicized in order to go after Trump. If the anti Trump people can’t see that by now they never will.

It really really kills the left that Trump is going to end the killing in Ukraine. Why is that? There is one, undeniable fact in this whole escapade. Donald Trump is the lynch pin to peace. The EU is coming to him. The Ukrainians are coming to him. The Russians are coming to him. He is the world leader on this issue. Full Stop.

Nonsense. Conservatives are happy with PP.

He's more center-right or moderate. He's better than PP IMO. He's more reasonable and not a Trump copycat.

Oh My gawd that was so so so bad. "It wasn't a sexual relations. It was just a relationship that had a momentary sexual aspect to it." Even he can't beleive that. If he does...good gawd.

Ford was liked once, then he developed a smarmy condescending attitude to the Carney. He's now sliming his way in a vain attempt for Conservative leadership. Not one single Conservative I know would vote for him.

Cons won't forget Fords left leanings.

And it's going to be fabulous to watch them get what they deserve.

OK.... I believe you.

Progressives are the ones who pushed birth control usage, divorce rights, legal abortions, women in the workforce, and most other anti-child and anti-family viewpoint that have tanked birth rates. Conservatives were the ones screaming from the rooftops against most or all of these things. It doesn't mean that these things are always inherently wrong, but they've been taken to an extreme by progressives. More traditional societies, such as in much of Asia and Africa, don't embrace most of these things. If you don't like me calling out all of these progressive agendas of the last 60 years, what would you like me to call it to make you feel better? I would say it's more centered on modern feminism. I don't think all women's rights are bad, but most of them have harmed the family and been taken to the extreme, and men have been convinced to go along with them. Sure, maybe my beef is modern feminism. Yes, many. And yes many are infected with progressive disease. Correct. A disease of the intellect. It's a society-wide problem spread though universities and the media, and reinforced through peers. It's not better if most modern societies are dying. 100 or 200 years ago people died younger, women couldn't vote etc but societies survived and grew and prospered. People now live for nothing but their own hedonistic pleasure and convenience.

Exactly. All getting paid by.......who? And what happens to their funding if they find........there is no crisis? Very few in any profession are brave enough to bite the hand that feeds them. Worth an hour of your time, if for no other reason than to maybe understand where some of us are coming from:

It's gross to see how the LPOC cultists just cling to CBC propaganda about Poilievre and Carney. They can barely even be considered human at this point because their lack of individual thinking is so compromised.

This thread is a perfect example of why Canada is in the shape it’s in, and why everything has gotten worse over the past decade. Too many people are fixated over individuals with no legislative power, while ignoring or giving a pass to those who do. You’d think Pierre had been PM since 2015 the way libtards are obsessed with him and everything he does. Meanwhile, the actual party in power destroys the housing market, destroys the immigration system, destroys the health care system and puts Canada in economic decline, and nary a peep from these people.

Oh boy, just what this forum was missing... another leftist troll creating worthless threads.

You. Carney selfishly cost the taxpayers 570 million dollars to try to take advantage of trump to con his way into power. But.. 2 million to run a legitimate by election is sooooo upsetting THat never actually happened Which election happened when harper 'prorogued parliament and then called a snap election'?

Exactly what it says fool.... They've left him as liable but believe the fine amount is excessive. The key word is 'liable'. Something you don't understand about that?

And you are literally dumb enough to beleive that would happen? Joe Biden couldnt get it done in four years. Trump is getting it done in less than a year (we hope). And you are mad about that? You think that isn't good enough? Why didnt you blast Biden for napping from 6pm ot 10am instead of stopping the war, illegal immigration, inflation, trade inequities, anti semitism, etc?

For which point? Banning Democrats? Model creation?

Comical thread! Congrats to the diehard conservatives who have now convinced themselves they won something. Haircut loses his seat 3 months ago and taxpayers had to spend $2M to get him a win in the safest riding they could find. A ballsy guy little PP is... You've lost so often that you've now convinced yourself you won something with Poilievre's byelection win....priceless.

Oh yeah. 100% this. If you want to start throwing out the terms they throw around, it was election interference. Getting Trump arrested and convicted of ANYTHING no matter how dumb, was always the goal, to throw enough mud at the wall, to make him look bad, to beat him. I mean, look at the attempts to remove him from the ballot for "insurrection," man, looking back, they did so much shady, disgusting crap.

What part of sending him to the safest riding they could find and spending $2M to do it do you disagree with?

Yep. Democrats do that. Whatever it is, it never applies to democrats. It's called pulling the D-card. That's why you look at so many of their claims and think " Man, that's d-carded.

A U.S. government official was stalked by Jose Madrid Reyes of El Salvador in Virginia in 2025.

This was always going to be the outcome. That whole trial was a joke. Next up, Trump's felony convictions will get tossed, and Leticia James will be in court for her Mortgage fraud.

They can certainly estimate forest fire emissions. Fires are a temporary double whammy in that not only do they put a bunch of carbon into the air, you lose the carbon sink until the forest grows back. However, as long as the forest grows back they are part of a natural cycle. Deniers still don't seem to understand the difference between a natural carbon cycle where things grow and die vs digging up carbon that has been stored in the earths crust for millions of years and injecting it into the atmosphere

How do you know it's increased?

♫ and then they went and spoiled it all by saying something stupid like "I love you"♬

Good for them. We need the Superpowers working things out, not at each other's throats like the democrats and RINO's want.

You can read as many papers and watch as much TV on this as you want to and you won't find any reporter mentioning much about this guy's background. What country was he born in? Is he a citizen or an asylum claimant? How did he get in? They never mention that because the legacy media practices self-censorship. There are things they don't think it's good for people to know, so they don't tell them. Mentioning that he came in from whateveristan might cause people to further question the wonderfulness of our immigration and refugee system, and that isn't something the media wants to see happening. It's kind of like when there is a swarming, say, and they say ten 'youths' or 'teenagers' were involved, but even if they're all black (which is the norm), the media won't say that. The six girls who murdered the homeless guy in Toronto and got no punishment were all black, but you wouldn't find that mentioned in the media. Not even in the so-called conservative papers.

Won what? Second place??? That is not winning, that is the first LOSER LOL But hey...hanging on to the coat tails of a LOSER fit you...LOL. LOSERS gotta stuck together to comfort each other LOL

Trudeau must be scandalized by the increase in the price of Viagra.

Ontario is very bad for this. They're big believers in "punishment by process". They frequently charge people in these cases and put them through the wringer knowing they'll probably win in the end but they'll be broke and their lives shattered as a warning to others. There's many stories like this in bc with no charges or charges dropped right away in contrast , The thing is it's hard to say without details but you CAN actually run foul of the laws here very quickly defending yourself/ If the guy has a weapon but turns and runs away and you pursue and shoot as he's leaving you're in trouble. If you shot and he went down and you 'finish' him, it's murder. Even saying 'he attacked so i killed him' is very bad, you should say 'he attacked so i shot to stop him". Without more details it's impossible to say but ontario generally speaking is not where you want to be defending yourself out of any of the provinces.

but wait. maybe the guy's an illegal immigrant and is above the law, right? Where's your sense of humanity and charity?

Not the easiest thing to do when you're stuck on a bus with the guy

1. Why is it that people are brainwashed by leftist ideas but not rightist ones? Don't you have faith in people's basic intelligence? Access to information? 2. Except that the problem is happening in most of the world's countries, not just the West. Tunisia, Sri Lanka, Vietnam... 3. Too bad you can't give birth I guess. Wait how many kids do you have again? Less than 3?

That is how it works. Especially when one decides to not include all factors.

Say something is objectively wrong and then just throwing other things randomly out there that are wrong is not an argument. Well I often disagree with you I have come to think of you as being someone that can put together a coherent argument and you're letting me down at the moment I can explain in clear terms why fixing a hockey game is wrong both morally and practically in the real world I can explain the same about why stealing is wrong. I don't need to use any other examples. But for some reason you seem to be having a difficult time articulating why this is inherently wrong. That should be a warning sign Well they're not choosing their voters. What they're doing is grouping their voters where possible and both sides are doing it. And I fail to see what's inherently wrong about grouping like-minded people together. It would be a different story if they were putting different numbers of people into different writings and giving some people more than the other, it would be wrong if only one party did it on the other party did not, but I'm not seeing the problem here that makes it inherently immoral Especially since those politicians will still have to answer to the voters We have the same problem in our country without that. I don't see that as being a function of gerrymandering, that seems to be a naturally occurring phenomenon. If it happens without gerrymandering, then it can't be used as an argument against gerrymandering And I would point something out, do you know what the ultimate example of this would be? Ranked ballot voting. That is literally the ultimate effort to try and condense voter support to favor a party. And all you people on the left voted for that in 2015 and thought it was the best idea ever. Sorry but you're not making your case here at all. Seems like it's something you don't like when it doesn't work in what you perceive to be your favor but you're all for it otherwise.

But did he have "sexual RELATIONS". which is what he denied? And is a BJ really "intercourse"?

How so? Democrats are literally perpetuating it, he had a drivers license because California gives illegals drivers licenses for some reason. You support this nonsense. He wouldn’t have been driving if not for democrats, and he shouldn’t have been in the country. I just hope he didn’t come to the United States from Canada, or were even more screwed.

The assumptions are endless, but here are 3 biggies. 1. Everyone should make the same money 2. The government should be able to determine a maximum and minimum amount people can earn. 3. Income disparity must be The result of something nefarious. It cant be hard or smart wwork. Of course, the op doesn't set any criteria to determine if the income disparity is unfair. So, we can only guess. Further, the charts and numbers are virtually meaningless. They amount to "People who are rich, have more money." Kind of a "No shìt Sherlock" moment.
