You mean he has an actual job??? Unlike PP, who has never held a job outside politics….

Even PP voters on this forum see the writing on the wall…. the best they are hoping for is a Con minority! Could happen, I guess What will happen to PP’s leadership if the Cons lose?

We as a society have chosen not to punish for having mental illness. Your entire goal is just to punish people. Thats immoral.

It’s no different than a mental illness that can be controlled by medication.

If someone committed crimes because of a brain tumour, causing them to act that way, and the tumour was removed, they were cured of their affliction to commit crimes, would you think they still deserved to rot in jail forever?

Time to spread the wealth. Companies are going to need indigenous buy-in. Share the benefits with them. Simple.

You mistake me for someone who thinks the Libs did a good job. Of course, it’s provincial jurisdiction but I’d like to see the feds provide funds, at the very least. We know Cons won’t do that. Like biological sex, politics is not binary, Libs or Cons.

You just admitted that I was “technically correct”, and now you say I’m being dishonest. Which is it? It makes a huge difference to you because you need it to be some sort of liberal scheme. You’re batshit crazy. I think you may be one of the ones who need the psychiatric intervention.

You can just say you were wrong. There’s no technicality here. You tend to just make things up, or repeat crazy stuff you hear without actually researching it. Like this: What case did the SC shut down mental institutions? I can tell you that, once again, you’re ignorant. The SC said you can’t keep someone in an institution if they aren’t a danger to themselves or the public, but nowhere did they shut down institutions as a whole. You take information and turn it into misinformation.

I corrected you on this point. But now you say: You said the Government of Canada closed the institutions. You’re either now too dumb to know the difference between a provincial government and the federal government or are lying. 🤥

Don’t you consider Trump’s endorsement of Carney a good thing? I thought you liked Trump.

BC closed Riverview. I will chalk it up to your ignorance and not deception. But you really should try and learn about it more before you post nonsense. https://vancouver.citynews.ca/2020/12/01/closing-riverview-coquitlam-psychiatric-hospital/ After decades of housing and treating those considered mentally ill, in the 1980s, the province of B.C. developed a plan to shutter the hospital.

I agree that it is too few beds. But it’s a step in the right direction and exactly what people like @blackbird have been calling for.

You don’t understand hypocrisy?

This has always been provincial jurisdiction. You’re either ignorant or are lying. Isn’t this exactly what you’ve been asking for? Or do you just prefer throwing them all in jails?

So you think we have enough social housing so people aren’t homeless?

What policies/legislation passed was socialist/Marxist? What legislation was changed that has allowed this to happen? Because crime rates in Canada are low. There has been an increase in recent years, but it’s still lower than it used to be. I think a lot of the increase has to do with wealth disparity and a lack of things like social housing. We need more taxes on the wealthy and more social services, not less. We certainly don’t need to pay the extravagant amounts it costs to put people in jail. These two comments are just you repeating slogans you heard. Stop being so afraid.

You’re a big Trump person, no? Where has this love of the truth been all this time?

There’s a bold prediction! They will either win the election, or they won’t! Haha What do these have to do with the Liberal Party?

I’m not sure what the Cons do. They tried a more moderate Conservative in O’Toole and he seemed to be attacked within for daring to try and appeal to normal Canadians. If the Cons end up with 38% support, this is only 2% less than when Harper won a majority. Back then, the NDP and Libs split the remaining vote to a great extent. So this might signal to Conservatives that nothing much has changed and they’ll get them next time. No need to appeal to a more Canadians if they think the NDP will bleed off Lib votes. I think the above is the most likely scenario. Hang on to PP the rabid attack dog who speaks in slogans and hope the NDP do better next time. The other plausible scenario is that the more progressive, eastern/BC parts of the Con Party break off and we have two Con parties that are more regional in nature. Maybe it will be PP vs. O’Toole battling for conservative voters in different parties. It will be interesting to see.

Poilievre’s Conservatives don’t get along with Nova Scotia PCs. https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.7518196 Houston's staff received a phone call from Conservative national campaign director Jenni Byrne. The sources claim Byrne told Houston's team that if Poilievre went on to become prime minister, they would not lift a finger to help the provincial party. The call changed the relationship between the two camps, according to sources. Why can’t Poilievre get along with his provincial party counterparts?

That’s what I said.

An Albertan?

No jobs for us then. I think we need them more than they need us. That’s the problem. Maybe. And we had a lot less jobs and fewer market opportunities. No. They did lose a lot of good paying jobs in recent years though. We’re not building those for the European market. We were building those for the American market. You seem to be missing the issue here….

What is your highest education level?
