He has lots of plans. He said he will change the justice system and stop this insane catch and release system. One reason we need to dump the Liberals and NDP is because of the catch and release of criminals. A man was attacked and stabbed by a criminal the other day, which happens frequently. The suspect was arrested and released the same day even before the victim was released from the hospital. This is the new normal and happens regularly. Nobody is safe. The Liberal soft-on-crime approach with their repeated catch and release is devastating to many innocent Canadians. Anybody who votes for Liberals or NDP is voting to allow criminals to continue attacking Canadians. Rocks in their head.

If government is defeated by Parliament Canadians have a Constitutional right to an election. If Parliament loses confidence in the government, then they have no right or mandate to hold onto power. That is how our system works. They would then have no mandate to deal with Trump. Slogans that Trump spouts do not qualify as an emergency in Canada.

A trade war does not qualify as an emergency in order to postpone an election. It is not the same as an insurrection or war. In a trade war, government departments and agencies still continue to function and would continue during an election. The trade war does not stop government from doing its work.

"Under legislation passed by Parliament, federal elections must be held on the third Monday in October every four years following the most recent general election. The Prime Minister may ask the Governor General to call an earlier election." Discover Canada - Federal Elections - Canada.ca Or Parliament may force an election by passing a non-confidence vote in Parliament which also triggers an immediate election.

I doubt he could use the Notwithstanding clause to postpone an election because an election is not legislation. The Notwithstanding clause applies to legislation, not elections. If the Governor General dissolves Parliament, then the Chief Electoral Officer must go ahead and start the election process.

I doubt Carney can postpone the election. The Chief Electoral Officer and / or the Governor General are the ones who have to decide whether any claimed "emergency" justifies postponing an election. I doubt a tariff war would meet the threshold of an emergency requiring postponing an election. To try to gain time for political reasons is not a justified reason to postpone an election. The CEO and GG would not postpone it for that reason. If they did, it would be challenged in court immediately. Postponing an election – Elections Canada

It has nothing to do with the subject. We don't know what they believed "35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus. 36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? 37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. " Acts 8:35-37 KJV So the Ethiopian eunuch was saved by his faith in Jesus Christ. -

No. That is not true. PP doesn't follow Trump. Trump makes some true comments like his comment about Canada not keeping up to its NATO commitments or keeping up its share in defence spending. That is a known fact that everyone agrees with. PP has stated he will do something about that beyond what Liberals are doing. -

No, I wasn't really a Trump supporter. I am not an American and don't have a vote on it. I did agree with some of his ideas in the past, but don't agree with the way he is doing things today in many issues. I think he has gone haywire. -

There is no purgatory in the Bible. That is an invention of men. You need to read the Bible, especially the New Testament. -

There you go again, accusing me of being a Trump supporter. I don't support Trump. I do agree with a few things he said in the past but not how he does things now. I oppose almost everything he says these days. He has changed completely from what he said in the past. He has become an extremist. -

OK, I apologize for my above comment if it was little bigoted. I just find your comment trying to blame Conservatives or Poilievre when they have not been the government a little strange. You obviously don't seem to know what has been happening in Canada under the Liberals. You also don't know how government works. Conservatives are not the government and are not responsible for all the disasters created by the Liberal government. You seem confused about that. -

Do you understand this: "The Scriptures distinguish four aspects of righteousness: I. God is Righteous (Romans 3:25-26) This attribute of God is unchanging and unchangeable. He is infinitely righteous in His own Being and infinitely righteous in all His ways. 1. He is Righteous in His Being It is impossible for Him to deviate from His righteousness by so much as the "shadow of turning" (James 1:17). He cannot look on sin with the least degree of allowance. Therefore, since all men are sinners both by nature and by practise, the divine judgment has come upon all men unto condemnation. The acceptance of this truth is vital to any right understanding of the Gospel of divine grace. 2. He is Righteous in His Ways It must also be recognized that God is incapable of slighting sin, or merely forgiving sin in leniency. The triumph of the Gospel is not in the belittling of sin on the part of God; it is rather in the fact that all those judgments which infinite righteousness must of necessity impose upon the sinner have been borne in substitution by God's provided Lamb, and that this is a plan of God's own devising which according to His own standards of righteousness is sufficient for all who believe. By this plan God can satisfy His love in saving the sinner without infringing upon His own unchangeable righteousness; and the sinner, utterly hopeless in himself, can pass out from all condemnation (John 3:18; 5:24; Romans 8:1; 1 Corinthians 11:32). It is not unusual for men to conceive of God as a righteous Being; but they often fail to recognize the fact that, when He undertakes to save the sinful, the righteousness of God is not and cannot be diminished. II. The Self-Righteousness of Man (Romans 10:3) In complete accord with the revelation that God is supremely righteous, there is the corresponding revelation that, in the sight of God, the righteousness of man is as "filthy rags" (Isaiah 64:6). Though the sinful estate of man is constantly declared throughout the Scriptures, there is no description more complete and final than is found in Romans 3:9-18, and it should be noted that this, as all other estimates of sin which are recorded in the Bible, is a description of sin as God sees it. Men have erected legitimate standards for the family, for society, and for the state; but these are no part of the basis upon which man must stand and by which he must be judged before God. In their relation to God, men are not wise when thus comparing themselves with themselves (2 Corinthians 10:12); for not merely those who are condemned by society are lost, but those who are condemned by the unalterable righteousness of God (Romans 3:23). There is therefore no hope for any individual outside the provisions of God's grace; for none can enter Heaven's glory who are not as acceptable to God as Christ. For this need God has made abundant provision. III. The Imputed Righteousness of God (Romans 3:22) The Bible doctrine of Imputation transcends all other themes concerning the Christian, and because it has no comparisons in things of this world, it is not easily comprehended." -Major Bible Themes. -

That verse is not saying salvation is by works. It is saying that once one becomes a Christian by faith in Jesus Christ and his sacrifice, then he should show he is a believer by doing the will of the Father. A genuinely saved person will do the will of the Father. But one must become a Christian at some point in his life. How is that done? By accepting and believing in Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. At that point the person is saved. He is saved by the death and sacrifice of Jesus Christ for his sins. He is saved by the shed blood of Christ. Then he must learn to go good and serve the Lord in his life. He is already saved by Christ from that point on. Nobody can work their way into heaven. One is saved at a moment in time by God's grace through faith. Read Romans. -

You don't seem to know the truth. The Liberal government had absolutely no choice but to take over the Trans Mountain Pipeline and get it finished because it is the only pipeline to tidewater from Alberta. The company pulled out because of the huge costs and endless opposition to it's expansion by the BC NDP, environmentalists, and FNs. Letting it die would have really hurt Canada and Alberta. The Liberals had absolutely no choice. Meanwhile the Liberals killed the Northern Gateway Pipeline and the Energy East pipeline projects on the drawing paper. They brought in Bill C69 to ban tankers from the B.C. north coast. They basically killed any new pipelines and have been working to hamper the growth of the energy industry and stopped export of natural gas to Europe. -

Sounds like you don't know anything. You seem to want to spread the blame to everything and every party when in fact it is clear the Trudeau Liberals with the help of the NDP have done all the damage to this country. You must very young and unread. We get a lot of those kind on here. -

The Apostle Paul was ordained as an Apostle by Jesus Christ to go out into the world to preach the gospel of salvation by faith. Study Romans and Galatians. This is what the Apostle Paul said: " 20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. 21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; 22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God. 26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. 27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. 28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law." Romans 3:20-28 KJV -

What you are saying is contrary to the whole Bible. You are misinterpreting it. Your interpretation contradicts countless verses through the whole Bible. Obviously, an interpretation on salvation must agree with the rest of the Bible. Here is the common Protestant and Biblical understanding of salvation: "V. Salvation Conditioned upon one Thing Alone In the New Testament in about one hundred and fifteen passages, the salvation of a sinner is declared to depend only upon believing, and in about thirty-five passages to depend on faith, which is a synonym of believing. The Scriptures everywhere harmonize with this overwhelming body of truth. God alone can save a soul and God can save only through the sacrifice of His Son. Man can sustain no other relation to salvation than to believe God's message to the extent of turning from self-works to depend only on the work of God through Christ. Believing is the opposite of doing anything; it is trusting another instead. Therefore, the Scriptures are violated and the whole doctrine of grace confused when salvation is made to depend on anything other than believing. The divine message is not "believe and pray," "believe and confess sin," "believe and confess Christ," "believe and be baptized," "believe and repent," or "believe and make restitution." These six added subjects are mentioned in the Scriptures and there they have their full intended meaning; but if they were as essential to salvation as believing they would never be omitted from any passage wherein the way to be saved is stated (note John 1:12; 3:16, 36; 5:24; 6:29; 20:31; Acts 16:31; Romans 1:16; 3:22; 4:5, 24; 5:1; 10:4; Galatians 3:22). Salvation is only through Christ, and men are therefore saved when they receive Him as their Saviour." from Major Bible Themes by Lewis Sperry Chafer Themes.pdf If you value your soul and where you are heading, I would suggest you go to the website I gave and study this chapter in this book very carefully and examine the Bible verses it refers to. You can also study other chapters as you wish. The book is specifically focused on doctrine such as the doctrine of salvation which is very important to know. Knowing doctrine in the Bible will protect one from false teaching. The world is full of false teaching. Nobody can work their way to heaven. Working one's way to heaven is how all false religions work. It is condemned in Romans and Galatians. Salvation is by faith alone. That is clear in over a hundred verses in the Bible. -
That's hypocrisy. You are making up a genetic rule for the Jews but don't apply it to yourself. What genetic rule gives you the right to be in north America or Turtle Island? Every country was conquered and settled by other people from somewhere else. The Jews have more right to the land of Israel than you have to where you are. They were given the land in perpetuity by God. Read the Bible.

I know of course the Liberals (or the anti-Semitic NDP) would never contribute to a voluntary relocation of the Palestinians because they have no use for Israel. Maybe a Conservative government would be more helpful. Yes, he already has. Canada has taken in many of them. The bring their conflict here.
