I think they know it’s practically pointless to try and talk sense into Trump given how unhinged, uninformed and untrustworthy he is.
I would think that would argue for a longer game, not a short one.
QuoteThey know they have to show Canadians they’re making their best effort and maybe that will mitigate some of their losses but mostly a lost cause and they want to move on to diversifying away from the US, and building up the domestic economy.
But the problem is that's not what he ran on. He ran his election on being able to handle trump and deal with the situation, not just cave in and give up and give America whatever it wants and then move on. Which is what is happening at the moment.
People will not like that. They did not sign on for him to sign away Canada
QuoteThey’ve said repeatedly they’re not going to endlessly go round and round with Trump and they’re done with the “psychodrama” as Melanie Joly put it. As Carney said, they’ll take all the time takes to secure the best possible deal, but no more.
But they've already failed. Giving up the tax is not our best possible deal. It's not even as good a deal as other people got, you kid didn't have to give it up.
You can't just say oh well I guess I couldn't do any better than this and sign away all of Canada. And so far that's exactly what he's done.
If trump's going to be a problem and he's not going to give us a better deal than what we've got right at the moment then you just stall. There will come a point when he's got other things that are bigger fish to fry and you can show up and be a thorn in his side and then he will be more interested in dealing with you and making you go away. But bowing down to him only encourages him to take more and people will see that

So he's running in a Conservative seat in Alberta.
1: Makes him look like a coward to play it so safe.
It doesn't. That's your bias talking
I'm more legitimate concern would be that we may see Alberta separatists step into the race and that could make things dicier than originally thought. But no, it doesn't make him look like a coward.
Quote2: Fortifies the idea the Cons are a Western grievance party.
Only to die hard liberals.
Quote3: Hell have to pander to the far right.
He won't
Quote4: He'll have to talk about Alberta separation a lot.
That could happen. But if anything if he plays it smart he'll bring us stronger position than Carney. Carney is already starting to feel on that front. The message couldn't very well wind up being I can bring Canada back together and Carney can't
Quote5: He may get a lower percentage than that riding got in the general election.
It's always possible, by elections have weird turnout. But absolutely nobody will care as long as he wins
QuoteThis guy just doesn't have good political instinct.
Sorry kiddo, you're extreme political bias and absolutely horrible political analysis to date suggest if anything if you think it's bad it's probably the best idea he could have had
The man took the CPC from 33 percent all the way up to 41 and held it there. He knows his stuff just fine.

I thought you were in favor of allowing criminals to go despite the laws? Or is that just for immigrants?

Carney still had to scrap it.
Why? The UK didn't.
He just negotiated poorly. Which is unfortunate but he is new at the job and a little of this was to be expected. We just have to hope that improves his skills and maybe gets a few better advisors who can help him. We may have taken the loss here but that doesn't mean we have to take a loss the next time.

That's disturbing because it's really hard to imagine that a human trafficker and drug smuggler working for gangs with a vested interest in the outcome of this case would ever be dishonest
At the end of the day why would we even care? I'm sure there's lots of legal systems around the world that aren't very good, that doesn't mean we need to throw open our countries own borders And just let people in

Too bad you're unable to cite ANY EVIDENCE that fetus is considered to be a human being. AKA LOST BY DEFAULT. LMAO
Kid, you're going to get slaughtered on this.
This is a fairly easy logic problem. There are religious or political answers but from a logic point of view this is not complex.
Define what a human being is. What makes a human being a human being. We can apply that and see if it fits.
Think carefully, i'll make you look like an !diot if you say something stupid like "moving 6 inches down a birth canal" or the like
But there must be a definition, so lets hear it. what distinguishes a human being from just a lump of cells?
If you can't answer, you're too stupid for this discussion.

Too many lDIOTS are still pretending a fetus is a human being despite the FACT that it has never been considered one.
AGE is counted from delivery DATE.
FETUS is not counted on the CENSUS.
DEPENDENT TAX DEDUCTION requires BIRTH.
FETUS is NOT a CITIZEN of the US.
Duh
Too many people still believe something that has never been believed huh?
How the hell do you get though the day having to listen to that rattle in your head every time it moves?

What was unfair about this election?
The media favors the liberals, and there's really no debating that. Which would be fine if it was all independently owned but when the state broadcaster is firmly in the pocket of one party that tilts the scales.
In addition, carney took over as prime minister without a single vote and immediately attempted to use that position and taxpayers money to create a campaign advantage for himself. Now it's inevitable that occasionally somebody is going to become Prime Minister without a vote based on how our system is designed but by tradition they take a neutral position and don't do anything until the vote happens unless it's going to be like a year or two away
What carney did wasn't illegal technically. But it was grossly unfair. He broke tradition and immediately used his position specifically to campaign in a way that would not have been allowed have they been paying for that kind of advertising.
So that's two things.
Then there's the Prorogue. The liberals should never have been allowed to prorogue parliament for the specific purpose of having a leadership convention which only served their advantage. That was complete bullshit. They should have had to come back and face the music in parliament, the GG should have denied that but of course the GG is a liberal appointee and a very partisan one on top of it
So instead of being an impartial source The GG did what she was told.
Take those advantages away the liberals lose the election hands down. And badly at that. Poilievre would have faced Justin Trudeau. And I'm quite certain you're not going to try and claim that the result would have been the same if Justin Trudeau had fought that election and carney hadn't been giving the chance to showboat beforehand

You're big on insults, not so good with reality or thoughtful debate.
I do well with both. Sadly you're only able to recognize one of the two
QuoteYou said "if". Apparently you're not so sure they will get back in with PeePee in charge. Oh wait - the elections are all "rigged". Silly me.
Perfect example, this is a stupid argument
You wouldn't recognize a thoughtful debate if it bit you in the ass
And I'm not certain they'll go back with Poilievre. I'm about 90% sure they will but there are a number of variables and it is possible that between now and the convention that this will change.
Unlike you I'm honest. I can look at a situation and not get buthurt by speaking the truth. The truth is right now Poilievre has enough support to survive a leadership vote handily. And he will be back in the house come September and you can bet he will be taking between now and the convention that this will change .. He has a history of being a pretty good campaigner in that respect and he has talent so he should be fine. But that's not certain,
Did you have something intelligent to add? Or were you happy with the 'dumb as a poo stick' performance you had going on there

If you were then you never would have voted for Trudeau.
Agreed. Trudeau, who trashed Canada every chance he got reputation on a world stage, who called about a third of Canadians wastes of space who shouldn't be tolerated, and who did more to divide us than any other prime minister in the history of our land is not someone that you vote for if you're actually patriotic towards Canada. Even the NDP would have been a step up from Trudeau, that's how low he set that bar

Carb lunch?
LOLOL was supposed to be Carte blanche
Didn't bother to proof read, i use voice dictation quite a bit and once in a blue moon it comes up with something on it's own It uses AI so it tries to guess what you're saying if it can't quite understand
Funny Side Story, if I say "Dear Residents" it types "Dear", because it thinks i'm writing to the residents. If i say "Dear Owners" it writes "Deer Owners", because it thinks i'm writing to people who own deer. The Deer Owners
I'm not terribly concerned about ai taking over the world just yet.

You have quite the imagination.... Won't do any good, but try reading what I said. Until then 👉
I did read what you said.
You ran like a little p*ssy the moment people started asking for examples. Then you had a freak out when I brought up an example of the left doing it. And so far you still haven't answered me with an example or even been able to describe with any detail what you're talking about.
And I notice everybody else on the board is starting to realize you're a bit of a scatterbrained twat as well.
I mean seriously, how hard is it to come up with an example of what you're trying to talk about. If there's even the tiniest bit of thought going on inside your brain rather than just you parenting echo chamber talking points then you should be able to clearly describe what you're talking about, what would be an example of that, specific that we could have a discussion about. And you couldn't.
Well there you go kid

Don't bother me at all.
It's obviously driving you completely nuts. You freak out every time it's brought up. You're basically losing your mind over it even as we speak. You can't have a major hissy fit every time something comes up and then try and claim that it doesn't bother you.
I mean I get it, you're obviously worried that Carney is doing badly and you're worried that his victory isn't going to last very long, and it's causing you a lot of emotional and stability. And let's face it, you are already pretty unstable to begin with.
If it upsets you this much just don't talk about it, if you're going to talk about it try and cope with it like a normal person.

Did Hitler exceed expectations? Should he get credit?
I would argue he didn't really exceed expectations, but I don't see a problem acknowledging and achievement even of a bad person. I don't think you give them credit and say that somehow makes them a good person but you can say things like hitler corrected their inflation problem without actually saying Hitler was a good guy. Recognizing a fact isn't the same as praising an individual and I think that's where sparky was coming from.
I hate carney, I think he's a lying scud bag who deserves cancer but even I have to admit his come from behind victory was absolutely legendary.

You're the very last person that would be capable of understanding. Too politically bias to take your head out of your *ss and get oxygen.
ROTFLMAO!!!!! And here's your usual "I surrender" freak out that we've come to expect when you have no argument and you've painted yourself into a corner
The funniest part is this is about leaders being too partisan
Linksoul "POLITICAL LEADERS TODAY ARE TOO PARTISAN! WE SHOULD BE TRYING TO BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER AND NOT BE PARTISAN"
Me: Ok, can you give an example!
LS "NOOOO"
me: what about when trudeau said this? Isn't that too partisan?
You : HOW DAAAARRE YOU BRING UP AN EXAMPLE OF OUR SIDE BEING TOO PARTISAN!!! ONLY SOMEONE PARTISAN WOULD NOTICE SOMEONE ELSE BEING PARTISAN!!!"
lol, ok kiddo
Seeing as you can't provide a single example and seeing as you freaked out but I provided example of the left being overly partisan it would appear that you've conceded defeat.
What was that about think twice speak once?

Just had some really decent Canadian made Provolone. Just as sharp and tasty as the stuff imported from Italy my grandparents had when I was little.
Unlike the tasteless shit pawned off as Provolone in most grocery stores.Hoping the dropping of interprovincial trade barriers will bring NoveScotia Dragon's Breath blue cheese to BC soon.
It might if we ever get there, but sadly we're not making a lot of headway. That has got to be one of the stupidest things we've ever done as a country, put up more trade barriers provincially than we have with other countries.

It's difficult for you to understand 'unite' because of your political bias. Maybe start with thinking about country over political affiliation. Maybe the elected officials who are expected to set examples, should by voting for country rather than political lines. You can't do or see that because of your political bias, and neither can most US elected officials.
So you mean like when Trudeau got up and claimed that anybody who disagreed with him with regards to the vaccine was a bigot and a misogynist and a waste of space and we had to decide whether we were going to tolerate them in this country? That kind of uniting people?
I see you still can't come up with a single example.

Cunning as a bull in a China shop. How can you possibly describe his stumbling announced beforehand then recinded bunblings as cunning? You people like to rewrite the whole English dictionary.
You may not like him but he's cunning. Let's get real, this is a guy who came from nowhere and exceeded all expectations and won the presidency when everyone thought he was going to fail and I'm talking about the first time. Then, after one of the most disastrous defeats he comes back against the odds and with literally everything against him wins again.
Now you can say all kinds of things about it. That he cheats in business and that's why he succeeded, but he cheated in the first election and that's why he succeeded, or that he cheated in the second election and that's why he succeeded or whatever you like but the point is he still always manages to find some way to succeed
If you prefer a different word like crafty or something like that knock yourself out. I deliberately avoided the word smart and went with something that indicates a more animalistic natural ability to spot weakness or opportunity.
But this guy has succeeded more than any other politician in history, so if you don't think he's cunning then you are dumber than Kamala Harris.
The guy knows how to win. And he knows how the game is played. That's just the way it is

Will the new Digital Services Tax on internet companies like Google, Amazon, Apple, Uber, Meta, and others really be paid by Canadians?

Not much chance of that. Unlike the carbon tax having given it up once the Americans are never going to let him bring it back. And this is bipartisan, biden hated this tax too.
If he was going to give it up he should have given it up and got something in exchange. All he did was roll over and give trump 7 billion dollars for nothing
