OK, Here it is To be hypocritical means acting in a way that contradicts your stated beliefs, morals, or feelings, essentially pretending to have virtues you lack or judging others for things you do yourself, like telling someone to be honest while you are lying. It's a form of hypocrisy where your actions don't match your words, often involving claiming high standards but failing to live up to them. So, a hypocrite is the conservatives cheering when liberals cross the floor but whine and cry and demean a conservation that crosses a floor. LOL Seriously LOSER...you could not figure that out all by yourself?? LOL

Fisheries??? What are you on about?? My comment was in regards to media control by the Liberals and I mentioned that the Harper" government implemented stricter controls, limiting journalist questions at press conferences, controlling information flow, and even planning government-run media centres, which significantly eroded trust and transparency with news outlets" Are you sure you have used the right comment?

They certainly never whined and cried and called the floor crossers traitors etc. But should a conservative cross the floor...it is a never ending shitshow and personal attack on the person. No wonder the conservatives are losing public sympathy and trust and seeing how hypocritical the conservative hierarchy can be

I agree. I think Carney is new. He is also thrust into the worst political turmoil this country has ever seen or been in. Yes, he did make announcements but he did not or could not anticipate Trumps actions or vindictiveness. I am pretty sure he thought that we, as Canadians , will always be accepted and be friends with the US...well that boat sank LOL. I think Carneys world travels were needed. He had to get Canadas name out there. Unfortunately, major trade actions and deals do not happen quickly. Agreements can be made but existing contracts and associations have to be honoured and some of those are in effect for a few more years. I think our reputation as honourable, willing and sensible has been accepted and we are looking pretty good on the world stage. ( I follow BBC and some other international news feeds) Our recovery is coming but, it may take time. No international instant fixes.

I agree but standards for almost every profession, trade and even education graduation have lowered. We have become a society where no one fails. Participation trophy's are the norm. I worked in government and worked with and became close friends with a number of executives and the annual bonus was always a topic...hiring was not at their level and was always at a lower level. I did a lot of the hiring in the branch in my department. More often than not, names and personal information was not included in the evaluation sheets. Having said that, when applicants were narrowed down and the highest qualified were selected...HR has a lot to say. My complaint was the claims in the OP's post. If there was spending, it was not DEI designated or related but there was a tremendous amount of public service hiring under Trudeaus reign, especially during COVID and thereafter. That is why they are cutting the PS now..

Do not mix up the city and people of Ottawa with the government. The city and people are the same as any other city and people in the country. The people of Ottawa are just regular working people too. I live in Ottawa and saw live broadcasts of what was going on and live brodacasts do not demonstrate media bias...it is what is happening at the very moment. Media , as a rule, be they conservative, liberal or whatever affiliation you want to put on them, are sensationalist. They show what will attract viewers...irrespective of the viewers political bias. To blame media for any situation is undermining the intelligence of all Canadians.

I disagree. Harper beat Chretien (actually Paul Martin who was a fill in). Mulroney beat Trudeau. So Conservatives really do have Canadians with them. The party is closely behind the Liberals...almost a virtual tie but Polievere has less than half or Carney support selected by Canadians to be PM. The liberals bailed the media out of bankruptcy but Harper shunned them and basically shut them out. "Stephen Harper's government generally had a poor, adversarial relationship with the Canadian media, characterized by restricted access, control over messaging, and viewing the press as an adversary rather than a partner, with critics calling it a "dark age" for Canadian journalism and press freedom" . His government implemented stricter controls, limiting journalist questions at press conferences, controlling information flow, and even planning government-run media centres, which significantly eroded trust and transparency with news outlets" The Conservatives have not been able to find a leader since Harper. 4 elections, 3 leaders. All have failed to garner the support needed to become government. I personally stopped supporting conservatives because of this. I did not see leadership in Scheer or O'Toole and certainly not in Polievere. In my opinion, Polievre is the worst of them. He just does not come across as wanting to make Canada better. He is always mad and critical and complaining as opposed to trying to work with government to make it better. He is just not seen as a positive person...by Canadians as the polls show. So, I agree with you, a truly conservative government could fix the problems but...as with most Canadians, I do not see that happening with the leadership the conservatives have now. I have said in the past and will say again, when the conservatives kinda shoved out Rona Ambrose, they lost their chance. I truly believe she would have ben PM.

Well, maybe conservatives cannot get elected because their leader comes across as an extremely negative person? The courts in Canada only apply the laws of Canada that have been enacted by parliament regardless of who is in power. Every party has its flaws...the conservatives as much as the liberals as much as the NDP. The problem overall is political philosophy outweighs what is good for the country and the desire to work to make Canada better is outweighed by that philosophy.
