QuebecOverCanada

It is Joe Biden's strategy and the strategy of many politicians that you admire.

It's ok that you don't get what people think, it is not the first time.

I think schemes can be made in the background to push the Greens up. Voluntary work can be made by CPC members for the Greens. I remember the Quebec Liberal Party (strongly Federalist) had many volunteers helping Québec Solidaire (strongly Separatist, left-wing) for their fund raisers. It is really important for the Left wing vote to be divided, especially their radical wings, such as radical environmentalists and socialists. It is not possible to win an election if you're Right Wing vs Lefty Liberals. You have to make it Right Wing vs Liberals vs Progressives to get a win if you're a Tory in Canada.

I haven't changed the topic, but I understand my answer took you off guard. To a hostile press, you don't answer questions when you want to win. Look at how Biden won. You take other ways to get to the population. If you have to get coverage, you can in an orderly manner or by not getting an intermediary in between the politician and the population, such as posting on social media, or directly get to the population through grassroot implication. Politicians nowadays are so lazy they think they have to just get to stand on a podium and answer directly to the press to get votes. You don't use this strategy if you are legitimate, especially if you don't have the press in your pocket paid by taxpayers' money like Trudeau did. You organize on the ground, get people working for you to do phone calls, spaghetti dinners, door-to-door style of campaign.

I remember Jean Charest election in 2008, because my father worked a lot for his reelection this year in Québec. The press was also very hostile toward Jean Charest because he was campaigning on a more right-wing program than usual for a Liberal (at the time, corruption was not the big deal, it was the financing of the healthcare system that was the core issue of the election). What did the Liberals do? Spaghetti dinners, phone calls, door-to-door campaign, visits to nursing homes but also helped organizing the QS party which was stealing votes from the PQ. The Liberals won the majority of the seats that year. I think the same recipe could be applied for the CPC, and I think they should discretely try to organize the Greens and the NDP as much as possible on the low, like the Liberals did with Quebec Solidaire in 2008, but also be more of a grassroot movement.

The video in OP is really ridiculous. In contrast, Justin Trudeau and many left wing/centrist leaders across the board in Canada or in the US are treated like princesses, except when it comes to maybe Rebel News which is so fringe that it has almost no weight in the game. This is a really hostile press, and I think Poilievre should just double down on it, and keep it this way. It gives sympathy toward him.

A forum contributor admitting he might have been incorrect of misquoting! I love it. I have to give you respect for that. For being a record, it might be, but it is also more a consequence than a cause of our issues in our generation. Isolation, poor salaries, make it hard for many to date in a career-focused world, whilst most live paycheck to paycheck... I rest my case, he said that 75% of the 18-24 year old applying to the Army were rejected and the number 1 reason was obesity. Obesity caused by sedentary lifestyle, but also bad/poor diet, but also education. He mentioned that only 5 out of the 50 States had a standard for PE across the States, and many of the 45 did not have regulations at all for PE, which means that many States are left with poor budgets, and schools are underfunded which impacts the children of the USA. It is fixable. 1. I think by exaggerating certain facts, you are delegitimizing many of your good assertions. 2. They may be dumb by the sense that you're bringing up certain subjects without knowing the issue at hand, once again refer to point 1. 3. This is something spoken about in America for at least a half of a century. Social Capital in America in on the decline drastically since at least the 1950s. Bowling Alone is a good book to learn more about the social fractures in America caused by its economic system. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bowling_Alone 4. If the economic system makes you work full time as a couple to barely keep up with spending and soaring prices, it will cut you off the people you like.

HI, what do you mean by a tag, and how could it be helpful?

Many claims are very far from true, I am from this generation, and don't worry I'm good with the 'kids are not getting laid! 60% of them don't have sex!!!' part, I am very happy with my year so far, and the last one, and the prior as well if you were interested in knowing, because you seem to care about my demographics and not really giving a good take. I know that you care, but sometimes I think people like you get a bit too confident in their abilities in giving an appropriate answer to a problem, because you don't get the problems. If you don't frame a problem well... The worse way to fix a problem is to exaggerate a situation or a problem, I'll give you a quick example. The truth is actually the opposite. Only 30% (rounded percentage) of under 30s didn't have sex last year. https://news.iu.edu/stories/2020/06/iub/releases/15-sexual-inactivity-young-men-united-states-no-sex-debby-herbenick.html Nearly 1 in 3 young men in the US report having no sex, study finds This other statistic is blatantly wrong. 75% of the total population is inapt to enroll in the army -you are referring to very obese person, yes, but also the elderly, children, but also many disabled people, or people with illnesses-, but not 75% of the young people who volunteer are obese and rejected. You are dramatizing. --- I'm not saying my generation has no problems. We have! But they are related to costs of living, low wages, rigid management, poor social cohesion in many areas where isolation is profound, rent too high... but what you are talking about is delegitimizing many of my generations' problems, with dumb assertions. To fix a problem, you have to name it correctly, and frame it correctly. You are not doing that. You are out of touch. Please think about it sincerely. I know, you may say I am young and don't have perspective. But you have no idea of what you're talking about.

You don't have the elementary vocabulary to distinguish a consequence for a punishment. You are so uneducated that you maybe think your opinion has a weight.

Keep burying your head in the sand, you freaking sad ostrich. It will bury the sound and the vision that your misery is still here. You trying to impose it to everyone else doesn't work anymore, and it's a good thing. If you are so scared of COVID, hide in your bunker. We don't care anymore.

You want to literally shut down society and watch it all burn in the goal of 0 COVID. You are not creepy, you are straight up an evil and an inconsiderate person.

You are still wanting society to be shut down. You are the cause of the airports delays. You are the cause of inflation. You are the cause of all this economic downturn. Your policies don't mitigate COVID and create a lot of distress for the working class, the travelers, immigrants and all the people affected by your insane 0 COVID policies. Your fanatism for 0 COVID created a monstrous inflation. He is not right, you are just insane to agree with this guy.

What a despicable and moronic take. You would have society not work at all and have 0 COVID than to have a society running but having flaws and having COVID. Look, if you suffer from mental illness and can't stand a bit of anxiety, I understand you. But don't try to think that we'll come back to 2020 levels of collective mental illness because you are stuck in that mental state.

This post aged like milk, like most Covidists talking points for restrictions. You are a bunch of idiots. In Québec, we now require the staff, even infected with COVID to return to their job. Because COVID is so mild that even the staff can work with it even if tested positive, but also because the patients are also COVID positive. You are such an idiot that you want the healthcare system to shut down because you want 0 COVID in society. This is such a stupid take to have in 2022 I can't fathom someone liked your comment. 0 COVID is either a goal wanted from Communist China or from someone from 2020.

??? Protesting against an elected official is part of Democracy. What are you on about? You may call for an elected official's resignation. It is part of the game.

Anyone defending the fact that one of the organizers face 10 years in jail?

Where do you draw a line?

The Federal government, committed in a supposedly anti-racist crusade, has decided to give away $10M to Black families exclusively to find housing in GTA. The government of Canada says that disparities in homeownership between Blacks and other races is a result of systemic oppression, and that this correction will alleviate racism and discrimination in Canada. I think it will do the opposite, it will create resentment, and housing will remain difficult to obtain: there will be more money for bidding, not for building more houses and apartments/condos. The announcement comes a little bit after the Federal government promised to increase the number of PR by 1.33m for 2024.

Your points are certainly valid, money laundering exists and snow washing is a major problem. But it is worsened by the fact that Canada has the lowest housing units per capita in all of G7. In the US, prices decreased in New York during the pandemic as restrictions were higher and less immigration happened. There is a clear link between supply and demand. Adding an equivalent of the province of New Brunswick in Canada in less than two years will make the problem worse.

House Price Index rose 26% in 2021, fastest pace on record The Canadian Real Estate Association's House Price Index rose by 26.6 per cent in the 12 months up to December, the fastest annual pace of gain on record. --- The annual inflation rate rose to 5.1 per cent in January compared with a gain for 4.8 per cent in December, Statistics Canada reported Wednesday, driven higher by prices for housing, gasoline and groceries. Over the same stretch, wages rose by 2.4 per cent, a gap in purchasing power inflamed by rising costs for essentials like food that often hit lower-income households the hardest. Shelter prices rose 6.2 per cent year-over-year, the fastest pace since February 1990, driven by higher prices for new homes as well as rent increases. Canada’s hot housing market should cool if the central bank hikes rates, though Nguyen said hikes alone won’t solve the problem of low supply of, and high demand for housing. --- My take; Wages up only 2,4%, inflation at 5,1%... the poorest are the most affected according to Statistics Canada for the raises in the cost of living. Yet... The Feds want more immigrants coming not from Germany, France or Japan which are richer nations. They want more poor third world immigration from Latin America, South East Asia, the Middle East and Africa. They are those who want to move to Canada to make a better living. At the same time, more and more jobs are being automatized, robotized, replaced totally by an algorithm. In the US, we're talking about 20 million jobs that will be replaced by techonolgy by 2030. So, we have less and less housing available. We have seen wages go down last year, especially for the poor. We have seen price gouging for everything, including groceries, gas and housing, that impacts primarily the poor. We predict less and less workers will be necessary in the future; many jobs are going to be replaced by machines. How does it make any sense to increase immigration by 1,33 million PR by 2024? It is an economical and sociological suicide.

I love Québec and I would gladly live there for many years to come. It has its charm, but also its flaws like all things. A headline caught my attention today; Garderie sous gestion douteuse: le ministre exige un examen du processus d’enquête it translates to Kindergaten under suspicious management: the Minister requires an exam of the investigation process You don't need to know about the full story to get my point on this title. For me, this title of the article is revealing on how Québec is handled: With committees, counsils, investigations, inquiries, groups of experts, intellectuals, all thinking about "the process" and not going out of their way to be efficient rather than being protocolar. We have too big of a State, and it is getting ridiculous, up to a point where even the management of a kindergarten has several layers of government involvement and still, nothing is working, despite all the funding and all the experts working on the file. When you compare that with the management of Denmark or Sweden, we're the laughing stock of the world.

Housing is expensive, schools are full, Hospitals are crumbling... yet the Feds want to add 1.33 million new Permanent Residents in Canada. At this point, it is adding a population the size of New Brunswick each year in the country. This comes at a point where our economies will rely less and less on cheap labor with automization/robotization of most tasks. Rents will increase and competition for labor will put a pressure downward on salaries. We can not sustain such massive increases for our economy.

Another way to convince and make your voice heard is by thoughtfully criticizing the ideas you find wrong and not get too personal. Saying it is civil war... lol. Your Liberal cashier is no more dangerous than your Tory Truck driver.

It's not a civil war. Most people supporting your views about the convoy are good people living their lives, so do most of the Liberals. It is not a civil war, it is by far an overreach, but I don't see how shooting your political opponents will change any of that for the better.
