How much money do they need for the 7 of them? 🤣 -

I'd argue that it doesn't matter how much money they have if their party is just going to continue to operate as a bunch of side-show freaks. They have an opportunity right now to be on national TV at no cost because Carney still needs their support. They just have to look really good while they're there. Eg, when Carney starts floating budget ideas, and an NDPer wants to talk to CBC about whether or not they'll vote for it, it's big news, so they can get their face on TV to talk about that. They just can't say "WE LOVE THE TREES! WE HATE OIL! WE HATE WHITE PEOPLE" when they get there because that doesn't work anymore. They need to say "This depends on whether or not they support our plan to fight against homelessness", etc. The LPOC has homelessness all over their brand right now, but in order to get CBC to say homelessness and LPOC in the same sentence, the NDP has to make the correlation unbreakable. "Take the $10B for foreign aid out of the budget and spend that on homelessness or you get nothing from us." Stick to that type of message. Don't give the CBC a soundbite that they can use without those two things inextricably bound together. "Until the CBC says this on national TV, your budget is headed for defeat, and the country will go to an election over this issue." This minority gov't think is pure gold for what's left of the NDP. It has made their worthless asses extremely relevant. I don't think the Bloc can use that same leverage because the LPOC can't just screw the country in favour of Quebec every time they wanna get something done. The Greens only have 1 MP in parliament right now, and no one wants that glue-sniffing twat telling everyone that she's their friend. The NDP are the low-hanging fruit, and their brand isn't as toxic as the other 2. -

It's gonna be interesting to see if they can bring the party back to life. I don't know who any of their MPs are, but if they have another Jack Layton moment and Carney falters, they could have an epic comeback. The Jack Layton thing seems impossible right now, but this is a crisis moment for that party so the chances of them acting like big boys now, and taking a more serious, common sense approach are actually quite high imo, and that's what Layton brought to the table for them. I think that they must know that it's not the time to appeal to fringe minorities and be divisive anymore. Will Carney falter? I don't like his chances against Trump, that's for sure, and his path to victory just got harder: That's a CNN article, calling Trump's trade war with China a victory. I almost dropped dead when I saw that. The US and Britain have already agreed to a trade deal in principle, so Canada is alone in the crosshairs now. That doesn't say "America is hurting because of their trade war with Canada", and Canada has nothing to celebrate right now. It's pretty much guaranteed that Carney is going to have to lose ground on Trump's original trade deal with Canada and Mexico, which he just ripped up earlier this year. It sounds tempting to try to increase trade with other markets and move away from the US, but if Canada and the US both sidle up to Japan, SoKo, Taiwan, etc, we know who they're choosing. The US economy dwarfs ours and all of those guys rely on US protection to some extent, or even totally. Carney is in tough right now, this might have been a good election to lose, if you consider how hard it's going to be for a party to start off with a winning streak. -

Carney is doing a good job of laying low and letting CBC propaganda run its course. It's just a matter of time before he unleashes new deficit spending and does his level best to make the homeless crisis worse. So much for the votes from the southern 1/3rd of the province lol. -

That's a perfect example of what a lying piece of shit you are. Literally nothing is beneath you. -

It is highly unlikely. Anyone who joins the LPOC: instantly becomes an anonymous back-bencher instantly shows their constituents that they didn't mean anything that they said while they were running for election. Right now the PM has to come grovelling to outsider MPs every time he wants to do something. If Carney can't get his budget passed it triggers another election. That means that outsider MPs have massive clout right now. They will get national coverage. They will get to speak on CBC and CTV. It's more publicity than they could ever afford. If they join the LPOC they get 15 minutes of fame, for betraying their voters, then they'll be anonymous for the rest of their careers. -
You should keep your mouth shut and make people guess how stupid you are. FIFY. Nice try though. So close. 😘

The funny part is that some of their markups are incorrect. For example, there's nothing wrong with starting a sentence using the word "yet" as a conjunction, it's just an issue of style. I can guarantee you that a guy like Barack Obama does it all the time because it's done to add emphasis after a dramatic pause. Also, the word "Democrat", as in "Democrat operative" at the bottom of the left side of the page, is correct. To switch it to "democratic operative" would change its meaning and make it incorrect, unless my eyes are failing me. It seems to say "Penny Pritzker(?), a Democrat operative, blahblahblah..." Does that say "highly successful" on the top right? If it does then there's nothing wrong with that, either. Words that end in "ly" don't require a hyphen after them when they start a compound word. It seems as thought they scratched out some of their own mark-ups, and some of it is illegible. All in all, it just seems like they got a bit pissy and wanted to use their crayons.

Stop trying to tell us what you think the truth is, Hodad. 50% of the things that you say are stupid and the other 50% are dishonest. -
Who's stuck in 2020, dumbass? You're the one who still thinks that: you can't give covid to granny if you're jabbed you don't have to worry about covid if you're jabbed the jabs are safe As usual, you're 100% wrong on all counts: dummying you got boring years ago. Furthermore, Moderna and Pfizer never tested for nor vouched for #1 on that list. Fauci and the CDC just said those things, and they weren't corrected until much later. The basis for all of our covid fascism was never supported by "the science", full stop.

Here dummy: https://www.fda.gov/vaccines-blood-biologics/vaccines/emergency-use-authorization-vaccines-explained The jabs were released well before they underwent full clinical trials, dummy. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/how-did-we-develop-a-covid-19-vaccine-so-quickly SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, was first identified in December 2019. By December 11, 2020Trusted Source, the Pfizer vaccine became the first to receive emergency use authorization from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Not only did they get emergency use authorization, they weren't even released until the Prep Act was signed by Trump, giving Big Pharma and any vax-pushers in the US 100% immunity for any damage done by the jabs. Seeing as no one else had 100% immunity for and covid advice/treatment they gave, everyone in the US was extremely reluctant to do anything else. In Canada people had to sign a waiver before they could take the jabs.

Singh got his 6 years in February. He became an MP on Feb 25 2019. If you need evidence go look it up yourself. Singh wasn't saying that he kept the Libs afloat to avoid PP from becoming PM until the polls showed the Libs ahead and his party completely tanking. When he initially started propping Trudeau up to begin with the NDP weren't polling below rectal cancer. He made the "anything but PP in the PMO" comment as a last-dict effort to make it seem as if he actually accomplished something, because he didn't want to go down in flames. -

Wrong. He had his 6 years. He just had a bunch of noobs that didn't. Wrong. The NDP tanked because they were seen as Trudeau toadies and sellouts. If they would have forced an election, their party would have been much stronger in the next election. *It's not just idle speculation that Canadians hated Trudeau. That's just your own ridiculous, unsupported opinion. If you believe the polls, he was extremely popular in January. That's utter BS and you know it. Unless Trudeau becomes the leader of the CPC, the CBC will support the LPOC 100%. -

Like I said, unless they're getting cabinet positions, they clearly have more clout from outside the LPOC than they do as back-benchers. Aside from that, the other option is bribery money. Could they just start up a newspaper or blog and get a few hundred million taxpayer dollars "to help ensure the integrity of the news during the next election cycle"? I guess that could work Well, no one wants to be a back-bencher, and they likely all want to be on the news to create a higher profile for themselves, right? Carney: "Do you want to become anonymous, and be my flunkie?" Every MP ever: "No." -

Ummm, ok, but that's not how your thread title reads. It sounds like it's something that he was basically guaranteed to accomplish. FYI it's just as likely that people leave the LPOC rather than join them, and it doesn't matter what party other MPs are in if they choose to vote along with them. If we had a party with 3 MPs what would motivate us to switch parties and then just be 3 random LPOC MPs, lost in the shuffle? Is he going to offer them cabinet positions? Unlikely. As a party of 3 we would have a voice, and still be representing the people who voted for us in the exact manner that we were elected. It makes no difference, as long as they agree to be toadies, like Jagmeet's crew did. -

Kamala would have signed a better deal, because she comes from a middle-class neighbourhood with nice lawns.
