Who enforces that? Truckers? Or courts?

How is a small vocal minority who do not want health regulations a national crisis? Should we have a referendum on seatbelts if enough truckers clog up the streets demanding “no seatbelts”?

Will it? Why would we change laws for a vocal minority?

No. Does the majority always do the correct thing?

Aren’t the police saying this had nothing to do with the views on the mandates? What makes you thinkk Trudeau is responsible for a hit&run?

No idea. And I don’t think it even matters. Should we only look at popular opinion when it comes to dealing with a pandemic?

I’m in favour of getting ending mandates…. But just not yet. How would I have voted in the poll?

I don’t know enough about his work experience to know…. But I think being PM is more about managing people and listening to the correct advice to implement your policies. Did Harper have any more work experience prior to being elected as a politician at the age of 29 that helped him as PM? Maybe? I’m not sure they ‘why’ really matters. What experience outside of government does he have that would be positive?

Work experience outside of government? This is the criticism I seem to hear…. Trudeau was a drama teacher and then PM. If that’s an issue, then PP being…. What?…. Before an MP should equally be an issue. Haven’t we heard that “career politicians” are a bad thing?

I never claimed to be anything, did I? I asked if you thought everyone was either left or right… and if there was room for nuance in a person’s political views. Centrist party? I would ask myself…. Would Harper’s Conservatives be handling the pandemic response differently than the current Liberals? Given the way they handled the fiscal crisis when in power, I would have to say that the evidence would point to the responses probably being very similar. Quite centrist. Is there a “centrist party? No. Did both parties in power the last 20 years govern very similarly in many respects (centrist)? Yes.

How is the media not free or independent?

Canada was fighting 19th century Prussians during WWII?

Where did I say he was a good PM? Do you think Poilievre has more or less work experience than Trudeau? Does it matter to you about work experience?

Does it matter? Do we count votes, or seats?

If our risk tolerances are not the same, how should we resolve that?

Prussian? None. Do you find it disagreeable/outrageous/scandalous to wear Prussian uniforms? You seemed to have the two eras confused... Before, I posted the picture, did you know that they weren’t the same as Nazi uniforms?

Didn’t we just have an election about it?

I can’t seem to drum up any outrage for Prussian military regalia…. How do you do it?

Do you think everyone is either “left” or “right”? Could there be people who are a bit more nuanced than what you assume they are?

Your thanks is enough. Remember to use punctuation. Maybe a semi-colon in there, “what’s” and a question mark at the end.

Is it? I find it lazy and boring.

You didn’t answer my question…. But I don’t think we’re allowed to talk about this anymore…. You may want to delete your post before you get a “warning point”. I got a “warning point” for asking the question. Maybe you could start an new topic on anecdotal vs scientific evidence, and which one is more convincing?

I ws asking about work experience and educational experience as the criteria for the position of PM, since that was what the criticism was. Do I think there are other criteria more important than that for PM, some of which you listed? Yes. So my question is…. If Conservative supporters don’t mind PP having even less eduction/work experience outside of being a career politician, why is it so important to Conservative supporters regarding the current PM?

It’s an honest question, given that work experience seems to be such an important factor for you, shouldn’t it be that way for a Conservative PM or MP, as well? What’s the difference?

It’s “you’re”. “You’re not a drama teacher, are you”. (Remember the comma too) Isn’t “goosebumps” one word? How could you tell the poster was from the “right side of the political spectrum”?
