So you’re voting for Carney then, since you think an economics background is an important asset for the PM. Makes sense.

We know who wants to take away individual freedoms, and it’s you. You want blasphemy laws and for people to be arrested when Christians feel insulted by speech.

Banker economist guy who cancels carbon tax. Definitely conservative.

They’ll all be pardoned in 4 years.

oh wait…. No bombshells. Just some leaked private info. Illegally. Donald Trump’s former campaign lawyer is furious after his personal information and social security number were made public as part of this week’s release of unredacted JFK assassination files. “It’s absolutely outrageous. It’s sloppy, unprofessional,” Joseph diGenova, a long-time Trump supporter who formerly served as the president’s lawyer on the campaign trail, told The Washington Post. “It not only means identity theft, but I’ve had threats against me,” diGenova said. “In the past, I’ve had to report real threats against me to the FBI. There are dangerous nuts out there.” https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-lawyer-joseph-digenova-livid-as-jfk-files-leak-his-social-security-number-absolutely-outrageous/

You’re going to have to post who the heck you are and what you stand for.

I’m not in his riding, so he won’t get my vote obviously. “We will build stuff” is not a platform.

This will be an interesting dynamic in a debate. Housing affordability is a major plank in PP’s campaign, although he only has a slogan for a plan and he has always voted against affordable housing legislation and never introduced any when he was Housing Minister. How does he pivot away from being a career politician who has only ever attacked his opponents and not actually done anything constructive? He has no record of actually doing anything positive. “I’m not Trudeau” is no longer a winning strategy.

A Libs majority has become the most likely outcome based on current projections. source:338canada.com

The last 10 polls have the Libs within the margin of error (tied) or leading. This is an absolute disaster for the Cons who were up 20+ points a few weeks ago! What can/should the Cons do to change this around and appeal more to voters? source: 338canada.com

Economic collapse is not imminent. We’re doing fine, Chicken Little. Let’s put it into some perspective:

I have a Gods given right to free expression and you want to take it away. Get your BIG government overreach out of here.

Carney, get those Gripens! https://militarywatchmagazine.com/article/swedens-lightweight-gripene-vs-americas-stealthy-f35a-pros-cons Despite being part of a much more modest program, the Gripen retains a number of important advantages over the F-35. With the Gripen A/B having entered service in 1996, the Gripen E is based on a thoroughly tested airframe and is considered fully combat ready. The F-35 by contrast has over 800 performance issues with progress made towards solving them having been very slow. Where the Gripen is fully operational and well suited to fighting at any time, the F-35 is still limited to an initial operating capability and is poorly suited to even medium intensity combat - with the Pentagon as a result consistently refusing to approve the fighter for mass production every year. The F-35’s maintenance requirements remain very high for a single engine fighter and its availability rates low, where the Gripen is prized for its unrivalled ease of maintenance among Western fighters meaning a far larger proportion of a Gripen fleet can be kept combat ready at any time compared to an equivalent F-35 fleet. This is largely a result of its size, as while the American F-16 is considered a standard lightweight the Gripen is considered a 'very light' aircraft comparable to the cancelled American F-20 or the Chinese JF-17. While the Gripen’s small scale of production means it is not being marketed at a significantly lower price than the F-35, its operational costs are very significantly lower meaning over its lifetime a Gripen squadron will cost several billion dollars less than an F-35 squadron of the same size - depending on how frequently they fly. This could also result in Gripen pilots having more time in the air than those of the F-35.

Civilized society does not control speech that hurts religious peoples feelings. So you believe insulting gay people (calling them abominations) should be illegal then? I do. People like you are trying to take it away.

He has already told him there won’t be talks until the 51st state idiocy ends. https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/carney-calls-trumps-51-state-remarks-disrespectful-as-international-media-takes-notice Annexation comments 'need to stop before any conversation about our broader partnership with the U.S.,' Mark Carney said

You don’t believe in less government and individual freedom. You believe in government control of our speech if it hurts religious feelings.

https://www.ivey.uwo.ca/impact/read/2024/11/ask-the-experts-trumps-25-tariff-plan/ 😂 Trump made a campaign promise to apply tariffs. If someone didn’t know he was going to do this, then they simply weren’t listening.

Really? Companies come and go all the time. In 400 years are people in Canada going to be upset about Home Hardware going away because the yard-bots have built-in tools and people no longer dig their own gardens or fix their own roof leaks? You seem very emotional about this.

Trump and Putin apologists sure have a lot in common.

You guys are like the nutbars standing on the street corner yelling “the end is nigh”. Go read the fable “Boy Who Cried Wolf”.

We don’t. Calling Libs left is your first mistake. They were left of the Cons, but now are probably just as rightwing economically. Certainly they’ll be left socially, which makes them a less worse choice than PP.

Sounds like the USA is a communist utopia with all the free stuff!!

Not my view…. America’s constitutional view. 2nd Amendment is there for citizens to protect themselves from tyrannical governments. It’s kind of useless if you don’t use it though, am I right?

10 years ago, Conservatives hated “career politicians”. Now you all think they’re essential? Why the change?
