If one puts their religion aside and embraces humanism, then great. The religious don’t even need to go that far…. If they just ignore all the bad things in their holy book, and only do the good things, they don’t even need to call themselves humanists. They can claim their religion is the purpose for them doing good. Yay for Jesus! (Ignore the part where he told slaves to obey their masters)

why are the polls back in the Lib’s favour?

Drugs, or brain injury.

Who?

It was math from a rightwing think-tank.

Exactly. Where’s PP? Propaganda YouTube videos just don’t cut it. Trudeau’s excellent response to the crisis is just piling on more bad news for PP. PP needs to appear with DoFo and eviscerate Trump. That will get him some votes. Is he able to criticize Trump in such a way. He’s impotent in taking advantage of this crisis.

I don’t know what this means.

And the PM’s response has been very good. He seems to be quite good at handling a crisis, but not so good at normal, everyday governance.

Quebec?

Im trying to figure out your thinking. Either the polls are fake, in which case it doesn’t hurt to ignore them. Or the polls are real but you think everything is going fine for the Cons despite the nosedive.

So you think it’s a big conspiracy that the Libs are closing the gap to the Cons?

If the Cons lose because people don’t like their ideas, or due to a media conspiracy, the point is that the Cons still lose. So what can they do to turn it around?

No, not really. Religions often tell us that this world is a place to wipe our dirty shoes before the next, much better world we go to if we obey all the rules. Seems logical that there would be some pessimism in that kind of worldview.

PEI is the size of a gnat with zero buying power. You don’t understand economies of scale.

We can walk and chew gum. 1% GST = $6 billion in revenue* 2% increase in GST = 20 years to pay off the cost of high speed rail? Who can say no? We already had 7% GST for many years. * https://www.fraserinstitute.org/commentary/case-higher-gst

How are they different? However, even if the policies are different, don’t you think it’s the rhetoric that is the issue for most Canadians? Clearly are looking for a way not to vote for PP, for some reason.

Who was the cause of war? Is peace at the cost of appeasing Putin actually going to generate lasting peace?

Do you think his atheism is the reason for his optimism? And, conversely, your religious views are the reason for your pessimism?

Errr…. no.

The Maple-MAGA on this forum can’t really wrap their heads around this.

He hasn’t won the race to be leader yet. I think PP’s support will be very soft and whatever Lib leader who isn’t Trudeau has a good chance. The slogans have stopped working for PP.

OK. I guess Canadians would rather wear shitty pants than have a Conservative government.

Russian state media were in the Oval Office today live-streaming from the Trump/Vance debacle.
