I am Groot

I bet you're not sick of the way Liberals and other NDP types call the Conservatives fascists, racists, and 'far right' though. I bet you're not sick of them saying if the Tories got in they'd cancel gay marriage and ban abortions and immediately hand Canada over to the Americans. I don't recall any of that ever causing you to post about how 'sick you were' of it. Because you're not. Because you're a liberal. And agree with them.

That would be you. You think 'red tories' support DEI hiring and promotion? You think they welcome disorder in the streets, zombie addicts shuffling around, vandalizing things, attacking people, defecating on the sidewalk, shooting up in doorways while the police and courts go hands off? You think they embrace mandatory antiracism courses? That they approve of the whole trans agenda, including with children? You think they're delighted with ever higher immigration without screening newcomers, and without trying to integrate them?

Yes. Get rid of all the judges on the Supreme Court to start and appoint new ones. George Lovie. Marcello Palma

Gee, I guess Singh will have to carry the entire "I hate Israel, let's kill all the Jews" argument without her help. At least Carney will show him some sympathy there.

So if that's the case, then why are you opposed to allowing judges to extend parole eligibility? Do you just like mass murderers?

But a lot of Canadians ARE that dumb. I see them all over social media, blithely saying screw the Americans, and let's stop selling them oil and uranium and electricity and the like and just find other trading partners. As if you can just look up 'other trading partners' online. None of them seem to have a clue what sort of economic turmoil will happen here if Trump decides to apply higher tariffs. But they're quite sure it won't be a big deal and Mr. Economist will be able to just slap it away and carry on as if nothing had happened. Of course, Mr. Economist is way more concerned with fighting climate change, and is likely to just keep spending and spending and borrowing and spending and jacking up carbon taxes because he's said repeatedly that he doesn't much care if that harms the economy. "Western society is morally rotten, and it has been corrupted by capitalism. This requires rigid controls of personal freedoms, industry and corporate funding. This is not a promise to make the lives of ordinary people better but temporarily worse. This will be a world of severely constrained choice, less flying, less meat, more inconvenience and temporarily more poverty. Assets will be stranded. Gasoline cars will be unsellable and inefficient properties will be un-rentable “ Mark Carney in his his book “ Values : Building a better world for all “

So... the Conservatives shouldn't worry themselves over budget deficits or try to protect our borders or lower immigration or fight against Chinese influence or want lower taxes and smaller government because Orange man feels the same way? If that's the feeling of Canadians, they deserve what they will get. And they WILL get it. Hey, I'm okay. I have no debt to speak of, a paid off mortgage, a guaranteed pension, and a seven figure investment portfolio. I'm not going to have to turn down the heat when Carney jacks up carbon taxes. I'm not going to worry about being able to afford meat, or gas for my car, and I don't need to worry about not finding work, or being repeatedly bumped back from promotions because of DEI. Younger people need to worry about that, not me. I still do, of course, but on behalf of others. What they seem to want these days is mommy to take care of them. They want the government to be mommy, and to smile and pat them on the head and wipe their nose and do absolutely everything for them. That's what the left-wing parties promise. Whatever the problem in your lives, they will try to address it for you. The Conservatives instead worry about a deteriorating economy, lower GDP per person, and ballooning deficits. But a lot of Canadians don't care about that stuff. That's for tomorrow, and why should anyone care about what will happen tomorrow? The Liberal party motto is "Give them free stuff. Borrow the money for it. And chalk up another victory." The NDP is pretty much the same. Maybe the conservatives actually care about the future, about this country's economic prospects, about it's deteriorating wealth and growing ethnic, religious, racial and geographical divisions and want to do something about it.

Are you drunk?

I can name a number of heartbroken parents who are forced to relieve their childrens' deaths every few years as their killer comes up for another parole hearing. Including the parents of Kristen French and Karla Mahaffy. Why don't you tell me why you feel Paul Bernardo deserves parole hearings? Not a chance. He is loathed in the West, for one thing. He has no French to speak of. And his success in Ontario is based largely on the coalition of ethnic groups around Toronto his brother put together (Ford nation) and which he took advantage of to take leadership of the PC party.

The notwithstanding clause is IN the Charter. If you don't accept it, then you don't respect the Charter. If he was going to ignore the SC he wouldn't need to use the notwithstanding clause. Doug Ford is the best example we've seen in years of a politician who stands for nothing, has accomplished nothing, has no vision, no ideas and no interest in doing anything. He exists to be premier. Now that he's premier, he has no further ambitions other than to continue. He's a weathervane. Whatever will get votes, he's for. This is why people call him a liberal.

Poilievre is at the same level of support as Harper had when he won a majority government. The difference is BQ, Green and NDP support has evaporated and gone to the Liberals out of terror that the orange man will take over. And the strange and ridiculous belief that because the Conservatives share some policies that the Trumpers do they would immediately bow, kiss Trump's feet, and hand over Canada with a smile on their faces has taken control among the Left. Woke is not why he's losing. The Left's raw, visceral hatred of conservatism is why he's losing. And they hated and feared O'Toole, Scheer, and Harper, too. It doesn't matter how soft spoken a conservative leader is or how mild his policies are. The Left loathes conservatives. Every year more people come out of the schools and universities we've allowed to be turned into leftist indoctrination centres with more hate of conservatism and more love for big government that will do everything for them. This might surprise you, but Canadians mostly don't like mass murderers. They don't have any issue with them spending the rest of their lives in prison.

You mean how he and his party are pro-choice, in favour of immigration, believe in international law and want to cooperate with allies? Isn't Trumpism the opposite of that? Has he demonized minorities or immigrants? Has he spoken of how great Putin is? Has he claimed elections are stolen? Explain this 'trumpism' to me. Woke is an American concept. The people who can be described as woke follow American ideology and American policies. it's all pumped across the border and then put into law by the Liberals and other left wing governments. There isn't a single homegrown belief among them. From Canada being 'illegitimate' to BLM to drag queens reading to kiddies, to transgenderism, to colleges and universities full of professors completely caught up in critical race theory, intersectionality, and cultural relativism. Why shouldn't Canadians want that removed? It's all foreign to our country. It's all very, very American. That's a natural response from all small-c conservatives who want to preserve the existing values, traditions, and order and not make changes unless proven to be better for our society. And, in fact, Poilievre has hardly mentioned it since becoming the opposition leader. He mentions it in passing, but his focus has been on economic and fiscal issues, as well as affordability, crime, and foreign interference. And what has really harmed him is not people turning away from him but people turning away from the NDP. At least ten points of Liberal support came from the NDP supporters terrified that Trump is coming for their wine spritzers and macadamia butter.

Let me explain to you how Islamic Jihad is using the very principles of Western civilization against itself: Western civilization is built on two pillars, democracy and liberalism. Democracy ensures that the majority rules. But what if that majority turns against minorities? History has seen that play out, and the West had to find a fix. Liberalism became that fix. It protects individual rights from the tyranny of the majority. Your freedom ends where another person’s freedom begins. You are free to believe, practice, and speak, so long as you don’t infringe on others. When democracy and liberalism work together, you get a just system: the majority governs, but minorities are protected. This is what makes the West different from every civilization before it. This is what made it successful. What happens when minorities weaponize liberalism against the majority? What happens when people who don’t believe in these values use those same values to tear them down? That’s exactly what Muslims in the West are doing today. They demand protection under liberalism while actively working to dismantle it. They scream for "religious freedom" but reject it for others. They push for Sharia courts, demand blasphemy laws, and silence criticism under the banner of "Islamophobia." They flood the streets, demanding Western societies change to accommodate them, not the other way around. And here’s the kicker: it’s all perfectly legal. The system is handing them the tools to undo itself. Islam isn’t a religion that coexists, it is a political system masquerading as a faith. Islamic Jihad isn't interested in being just another group among many. Their goal is domination. And they know that time is on their side. They don’t need to win debates. They don’t need to fight wars. They just need to outbreed, outvote, and outmaneuver the West, using the West’s own rules. They demand their “right” to build mosques that preach against Western values. They demand the “right” to implement their own legal system (Sharia) under the guise of religious freedom. They demand the “right” to silence critics, using hate speech laws as a weapon. And what does the West do? It folds. Again and again. Out of guilt. Out of cowardice. Out of fear. Islamic Jihad doesn’t need bombs when they have ballots. They don’t need swords when they have speech laws. They don’t need conquest when they have immigration. The West is being dismantled from within, not by force, but by the very system designed to protect freedom. https://x.com/DanBurmawy/status/1912215603101774033

We should have a public discussion about this, perhaps in the English language debate. But, oh, sorry, Immigration is not important enough to be discussed in a national election debate.

Oh, I know. But he was pretending that very thing. That it was only the evil tories.

AFAIK his idea of increasing our wealth and improving our economy is to take the bureaucratic chains off our national resource industry, and in fact, off all industries and businesses so they can get more business and foreign investment, and generate wealth, taxes, and jobs. Diversification? Ah yes, something Canadian governments have been pursuing for about fifty years now to no avail. But don't worry, that'll change under Carney! With more regulations and more taxes we'll definitely get more business and foreign investment coming here. Yessiree!

Since you say you're not making anything up you can provide us with the cite where he actually says the stuff in quotes, right? I mean, you're not making anything up here, right? Right? Your posts do seem to be made up mostly of that, yes. Hmm, should we destroy Quebec, or kiss their ass? Kowtow? There isn't any third alternative after all. I vote we destroy Quebec. What say you, August?
