Admittedly that's not untrue. "When times are tough people turn to the tories". Traditionally the conservatives do best after the liberals or ndp has done real harm to the economy and someone has to clean up.

So he's losing. A war that country chose. That country does not vanish if you ignore them. They started this war, and if they win it they'll start the next war. There is GOING to be a confrontation, Better to have it now Your logic is the same logic that Chamberlain used. "If we just give them poland, they'll be happy and we'll have peace." no. that's not how it works. Give me a break. that guy couldn't concentrate long enough to enter the launch codes The russians started this war, it's to everyone's advantage for them to suffer defeat and be depleated. If they're going to pick a nuclear fight over this war then they were going to sooner or later anyway. But at the end of the day you do NOT promote peace by appeasing bullies. They and every other bully out there has to know if you pick an aggressive war, it may not go the way you like . I'm sure if putin could rewind the clock he'd never have started this in the first place now.

I read your post fine. Your answers aren't honest and are polerized against conservatives. That is most often a liberal trait. NDP supporters also don't like conservatives but they tend to be more honest and upfront about it. What is the point in having a lengthy discussion if you don't intend to be honest about it. The CBC plays a significant role in our culture and it's elimination will bring change. Yeah - i don't really believe that to be honest. And it's pretty common for liberal supporters to pretend neutrality on forums to pretend to be a 'non partisan' viewpoint But your comments and actions don't really jive with your stated position here. Why would hiring gays or the like 'assasinate' those who supported PP from the start? The cpc has supported gays since about 2006. The first cpc candidate i volunteered for was gay, At the policy convention where gay marriage came up there was strong support for the gays. I supported PP"s campaign and I'm pro gay rights. Let me guess - you're one of those liberals who actually believes justin's propaganda that conservatives hate gays right? Sigh. Yeah - definitely not a liberal supporter. Gotcha. Well - yes and no. You see - socialists of any type are willing to allow private business PROVIDED that a) the gov't controls it to the point where they might as well own it - thus taking no risk but still exercising control and b) provided they can tax the bejeezuz out of it so that they might as well own it and again do so with no risk. So while they might be willing to allow people to have their name on the business the end result is still the same. What the liberals have been fond of us siphoning off gov't money into businesses which will do them favours or give them a benefit, either as a party or personally. They also do that with charities. etc etc. so they're socialist in the sense that they want to control and tax businesses beyond the needs of the gov't, but i guess you'd say they were just corrupt in that they put a lot of that money in their pockets one way or another,

Well considering i never said anything about alberta hating them i think that you're paying too much attention to the voices in your head again and should listen to what real people say. Just plunged the province into major deficit, inherited the strong economy which is currently slowing down, and many of our prime industries are in distress and looking at downsizing. Also drove landlords out of the market hard during the pandemic and despite promising since day one ot fix the housing issues prices for homes and rent are far worse and largely unaffordable. No, it's peachy.

Ok - so harper won x3 but that's not proof -just when justin does. And - justin got less than 40 percent by a long shot. in fact - he actually LOST the popular vote. The CPC got more votes than him, Yet - somehow he IS reflective of the population while harper getting 40 percent isn't. Tell me you're being dishonest without telling me. Now you're just being childish. if that were true they wouldn't need any gov't funding.

Weird - you said something, i noted you said something and what you didnt' say, and now what you said is somehow my fault. Sorry kiddo - your gaslighting might work on elementary school kids but not actual thinking people. You'll have to step it up. I can explain to you how stupid that statement is if you need me to. But - try to work it out for yourself first. I don't think you've asked a single thing honestly. In fact - the fact you would refer to it as a 'feverish trudeau hater' shows your dishonestly. You asked 'Honestly' by classifying it as 'feverish' did you LOL - kid, i don't know what bridge you crawled out from under but your trolling is second rate at best. I can defend any position i have logically and with reason. and usually in great detail. Nothing 'feverish' here. And emotions usually don't get involved. And the fact you would ask that instead of challenging my actual viewpoints shows that you're not interested in the truth. Oh? You're getting paid instead/? Soooo - how did he assasinate them if he promoted them exactly? they aren't just left, they're far left. And All models of gov't support business, the difference is in who owns them.

And thanks for proving my point.

Oh HELL yes. In fact - when they were in power the last time Alberta voted the BC Premier "businessman of the year" because he drove so many BC businesses into Alberta! No joke!! The ndp has always been slightly neutral or outright bad to business. They're never GOOD for business.

First off - you didn't see a shift for 10 years when harper won? I sure did. Most did. And harper tried to play fair, Second off - you don't think the cbc and it's news plays any role in how Canadians see things? Really? I don't think i'd refer to you as an 'optimist'. I think i'd choose a different word.

No, Its because the media doesn't report it in a way that gets people too worked up. The politiicans can say what they like but what the people hear is filtered by the media. For example, the people in toronto - traditional liberal supporters - listen to cbc and toronto star and similar media. Those will print fewer stories about this, only focus on it for a very short time, downplay it with the language they choose, and then print something else that is attention grabbing to distract. It's what they do, They will print next to no replies from the opposition - one or two but very brief and that's it . So nobody thinks it's that big a deal. A conservative member having a chance meeting with some disreputable germans got MORE space and MORE urgency in those papers than this did. The media is an incredibly powerful tool.

The collapse of trudeau - the stories suggest that the liberals will only collapse if they keep trudeau, otherwise they'll be fine. The left is pushing at him to step down 'for the sake of the party'. They want him to reenact his father's famous 'walk in the snow'.

Even americans are smarter than that.

Pretty dishonest post. Are you suggesting that if the cbc was defunded it WOULDN'T change? And claiming that my analysis is wrong because of my 'deep feelings' instead of being able to offer any actual counter argument? Tell me you know i'm right without telling me. And now you're having fantasies that i'm "seething". And still not a single actual argument to suggest i'm wrong. Well at least you don't hide the fact you're a dishonest player. That's nice. Sit back and watch what happens. Your beloved liberals will be crushed next election, and PP won't play nice when he gets in. The CBC will be trashed and a lot of other changes will take place to eliminate the liberal advantage. The question is - what will YOU do when nobody buys your liberal propaganda any more and the left gets shunned by the public?

Well good. You're not qualified.

What name did i call you. I don't understand why you feel the need to lie and claim i called you a name just because you can't defend your point of view Its' whining. It's just pro liberal whining. Stupidest comment ever. If you call a general election a "counterrevolution" then ... er... thanks? But we were going to do that even without your blessing to be honest. Hope that's ok. They are hammering the country and destroying our people. Don't you think that should be your priority? You don't really undrestand how democratic representation works, do you

Well that's not quite true. Without a doubt much information is filtered and some is withheld but there is much that is verified by independant sources or even the russians. Putin didn't draft 300k people because he was winning. So while we have to take everything with a grain of salt we can get a fairly good overall picture. There are no safe wars. Bullshit. Biden is a pushover and a wimp. That's why putin went. IF the russians had actually succeeded in their plan to win the war in 7 days the US would have done nothing at all. When russia failed, the us and biden saw an opportunity and they've taken it. The opposite is true, and that's entirely demonstrable. They are spending PENNIES. This is a TINY FRACTION of their military budget, barely a blip. And for that they've seen thousands of russian tanks destroyed that the russians can't replace quickly, hundreds and hundreds of aircraft they can't replace quickly, probably upwards of 70 - 80 thousand dead (nobody believes the 'official' numbers) which will have an insane impact on their people (the us lost 45 thousand in the whole vietnam war). Their economy is being seriously negatively impacted and they're being forced to do deals with China - you might as well sign your soul to satan as deal with china from a position of weakness. So the us is spending very very little money to absolutely trash the hell out of a serious threat to them and it's going great! You think the us is spending money? Do you have any idea how much it costs to build 3000 tanks? or replace those airplanes and other equipment and build back the war stocks they've used up? You're into the trillions at that point. Trillions that russia just doesn't have. They're crippled for quite some time to come now. And meanwhile the US gets to test out it's weapons systems, see what really works and what doesn't, and their next versions will have improvements that will be significant. And the Ukraine is doing all taht testing for them for free! Plus the us gets jobs from replacing the stuff sent over with the latest versions for themsevles, and then will make craptonnes of money rebuilding ukraine after the conflict. It does not GET any better than this as far as war goes. For pennies on the dollar they're cripping their enemy, improving their own defense systems, and rebuilding what the russians knocked down will pay for it all And no us soldiers had to die or even be at risk.

Sure you can. "We're not giving you any more money". I absolutely guarantee you things will change with the cbc at that point. The 'culture' is not self supporting. It's a leech, it needs the blood of others to survive. So cut that off and the 'culture' withers and dies. You think lefties are going to spend their own cash to keep it going? It will be illuminating to see what excuses you come up with when that happens, and what mental gymnastics you do to try to pretend nothing changed. Say hi to justin for us.

He's won 3. Seriously you couldn't keep track of three? That was literrally too high a number for you to track? And the conservatives have 'gone through' 2 leaders since harper retired and are on their third. Again - two seems to be the max you can count to, when we get to three you lose it Meanwhile after martin, who lost after 2 years, the liberals went through three leaders before they won again as well. But you probably couldn't remember that - it WAS 3 after all I'm sure the libearls appreciate you trying to discourage conservatives but sorry - we can see the writnig on the wall and polievre will be very bad news for the liberals.

Bullshit. At this ooint in time the CPC has been in power since its creation more often than the libs. The conservatives have won just as many elections. And lets face it - they're probably going to win the next one again. And it is beyond silly to suggest the CPC are the same party as the libs. If you really believe that, you are too uneducated to vote

You are entitled to be wrong in this country ahhh yes, the "yes minister" view on the civil service. There's some truth to it but there is a LOT of truth that there are those within the system who have strong right views but have learned to keep their mouths shut. It's just a matter of juggling things to put them where they need to be. Well aren't we the whiny biatch this morning It's just not true of course. The bigger challenge is that historically the conservatives HATE the gamesmanship we see with the libs, the dirty sneaky underhanded bullshit they pull to get themselves ahead. So - we get into power and we try to clean that up. We get part way there and the libs get back in and play dirty again which gives them the advantage. What we unfortunately need to do is play those games ourselves. Stop trying ot be bipartisan appointing judges - appoint the ones we like. Stop being fair to all media and funding the cbc to speak against the conservatives - fire the cbc and support pro right newspapers. The sun, the national post etc. And any others who want to get the message. Shuffle people around so that the hard liberals are moved out of positions of power and are nerfed and right leaning people are placed and entreched where they can have influence. It's aboslutely shitty it's come to that, because what conservatives want is a clean gov't. But - if we don't then you get what's happening with trudeau, where he can get away with murder and the system supports him. If we're going to have to live with that i'd rather it was on our side not just theirs.

There is a chance... a SMALL chance but a chance nonetheless.... a chance that those sources are not completely unbias.

Well i think he will simply defund the cbc and then it has to survive on it's own (or not.) So it will have to appeal to a target market and win them over to keep it's income the old fashioned way. I don't think that will make them more neutral, but if whatever changes they make don't appeal to enough people they'll die. And PP is the kind to find ways to funnel money into media companies that are right of center to offset the constant left of center media we've seen in the past. That might be through things like giving exlusive interviews, spending gov't money in advertising, etc etc. Make the right profitable and let the left languish a bit to turn back decades of having it the other way around. Oh for sure! The gov't appoints the judges to the supreme court, and most are older by the time they get There. For sure some will retire and when they do PP can appoint people that he knows are more to the right. to counter balance the judges. It's a bit of a shame - harper put a process in place that was very clever to select judges in a very neutral fashion, eliminating a lot of the political leanings. Over time it would have made for a supreme court that was based strongly on merit and bipartisan acceptance. Trudeau of course dismantled that day one and just appointed judges he likes. Absolutely. It has to be done right or companies will decide consumers are used to those prices and will just up their prices to pick up the slack, but if you do it right that can be avoided. All good ideas. Have you considered running for gov't?

Sure you will. They're out there and they're chomping at the bit to try to get ahead. Most keep their heads down but don't kid yourself - there's lots and lots of potential to make changes to put right of center people in place in a lot of the structure. Including judges etc.

Interestingly enough there is historic precedence for that. The nazi party largely arose as a response to the communist party of germany's aggressive and often violent pushing of their agenda for example. The 'Red Wedding" incident (not game of thrones - this happened in a place called Wedding which was called red wedding because of the communist control of the area) really pushed people into letting the nazis take power specifically to address communist aggressive tactics. Often times in history the 'left' gets hostile and agressive, and the 'right' becomes radicalized in response. It CAN go the other way as well but generally doesn't. The reason for that is that when people overthrow a tyrant that controls their lives the last thing they want to replace it with is a totalitarian regime that also wants to control their lives.

True. True. Mind you he did give the finger to the minority 'lesser' western provinces, soooooo.....
