  1. So you saying.....vote for Trudeau?
  2. This is what happens when people that are used to democracy, are being muzzled to express their views, their frustrations and anger  in social media.   They come out to be in your face!

    Interesting perspective from call-ins on CPAC network yesterday from people all over Canada who aren't anti-vaxxers, and yet understand where the protesters are coming from.  Some say this isn't really about vaccines.  This is about an Authoritarian Trudeau!

    One fresh perspective mused that this small group of people which we call the "fringe," could be the fringe coming out from a silent majority who are just simply fed up, and frustrated.

       The protests we saw in the USA had inspired some people in Canada - BOTH SIDES!  Look at the toppling statues!

       

      I'm talking about these protesters we see in Canada.   The perspectives given by different people in that CPAC call-in just indicates that there are people who sympathize with the anger and frustrations being felt by this "fringe" folks. 

      There are also people who don't sympathize with the kind of protest they do, and yet also indicate understanding the anger and frustrations they feel.

       

      I'm telling you - a lot of people can understand how they feel.   That should mean something.

      OftenWrong

      Canada has had very good voluntary compliance, despite all the government mishandling their message. There is no need to exercise this level of authority. Nor should we trust that they will use it responsibly.

      They are all liars.

  3. CBC and CTV are among the media that manipulate viewers..........and, they try to manipulate the election outcome thru their manipulated "news."
  4. Lol, speaking of Trudeau's GREEN PLAN. I hope this comes up again! Remember when Trudeau gave 12 million dollars to Loblaws to buy their fridges? It was their GREEN PLAN! To have Loblaws buy energy-efficient fridges! ? Environment Minister Catherine McKenna is defending the decision to give up to $12 million in funding to Loblaw so it can install more energy-efficient fridges. That comes just a year and a half after the company fought against raising the minimum wage, admitted to a 14-year bread price-fixing scheme and ended up in a tax court battle last year that saw it ordered to pay back taxes worth roughly $368 million related to a banking subsidiary in the Caribbean. [URL unfurl="true"]https://globalnews.ca/news/5145773/catherine-mckenna-loblaw-new-fridges/[/URL] I mean.....really? Does Loblaws need help buying fridges? How many corporations are we gonna subsidize with their fridges? ? Trudeau doesn't give a detailed plan for his BOLD GREEN PLAN.............we know why!
  5. The pro-Liberal journalists are showing their knives at campaign rallies of O'Toole! CTV Janice McGregor and Kevin Gallagher comes to mind.
  6. Interesting call-ins all over Canada on "Have your say at CPAC." What protesters we see may be what they call the "fringe".....but, it is likely the fringe of the silent majority - spilling out - fed up with this government. They're not necessarily all anti-vaxxers.
  7. Anybody listened to Radio Canada Ici interview candidates? How was it? Paul Wells was saying on CPAC that O'Toole didn't do that well. Apparently, something about climate change.
  8. Trudeau is pushing back at them yesterday to make himself look "steely" and tough. That's the advise of former Lib strategist Peter Donolo on Question Period with Evan Solomon yesterday. What worries me is that this very aggressive protests might backfire with voters. He'll look like the underdog that's being picked on. Anything can still happen. Everything hinges now on the debates to have O'Toole pull away from this tie, and surge ahead. I think O'Toole is very likely to do it. He has to be ready and quick on his feet to anything Trudeau might throw at him - and hopefully, O'Toole will come up with a clever one-liner that will resonate and nail Trudeau throughout the rest of the campaign weeks .
  9. Dogs and cats from a charity animal shelter in Afghanistan have been flown out to safety......but NOT the Afghan staff who worked for the charity.

    Something is so wrong. ☹️

  10. Remember Malala?   You know - the girl who was exploited for a photo op?

    Here is what she said:

    "The man who attacked Parliament Hill called himself a Muslim. 

    But he did not share my faith. He did not share the faith of 1.5 billion Muslims living in peace around the world."

    But Maryam Monsef, does!

    Only Maryan Monsef - the Minister for Gender Equality - calls them, brothers!  And Trudeau supports her statement.

     

    My.....aren't you two  so cozy with terrorists.......

  11. Going back to Maryam Monsef - this so-called, "Minister For Gender Equality!" You Liberals have been playing women and girls for your politics! Remember MALALA? You should! After all - she's been exploited for a photo op by your PM! Malala Yousafzai receives honorary Canadian citizenship The 19-year-old Pakistani woman shot to international fame five years ago after recovering from a gunshot wound to the head. She was wounded by a Taliban gunman who opposed her advocacy of education for girls. Yousafzai decried the violence, saying: "The man who attacked Parliament Hill called himself a Muslim. But he did not share my faith. He did not share the faith of 1.5 billion Muslims living in peace around the world." [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.dw.com/en/malala-yousafzai-receives-honorary-canadian-citizenship/a-38407702[/URL] But, you do share the same faith with them, right? You call them, BROTHERS! And, Justin Trudeau supports your sentiment!
  12. So - what's your problem? ?
  13. That's why he wants a majority.
  14. Do you know that Trudeau has yet to release his platform? While everyone had already gave their detailed plans, Trudeau has not. And yet, he was the one who called for this election! Isn't that odd? Looks more like Trudeau never had a plan! He underestimated his opponents - O'Toole in particular (for being an unknown to voters). Trudeau must've planned to just bs his way thru this election!
  15. On Nanos/Globe and Mail today from CTV, Conservatives are 3 points ahead of the Liberals. For preferred PM, Trudeau's favourability fell down to 29%, and O'Toole's number went up to 27%. Nik Nanos said Trudeau's number fell 2 points in just one day! NDP went up a bit.
  16. Yes, From Nanos today, Bernier is ahead of Green. Bernier is also ahead of Green and Bloc when it comes to preferred PM.
  17. AND.......... Looks like Afghanistan issue isn't going away anytime soon. What happens after Aug 31? Do we hear again from those poor Afghan allies left behind, who were advised by Trudeau to "hunker down," and hide? As one desperate caller interviewed on either CTV or CBC asked: "Hide? Hide where?"
  18. Some journalists have already SUBTLY floating the idea that O'Toole might be in cahoots with the protesters. O'Toole had promptly put a brake on that by strongly condemning the protest in Bolton. Lol - I wouldn't be surprised if the Bolton protesters are actually on the payroll of the Liberals.........to give Trudeau the much-needed boost by using the "victim card," of a "Trump-like mob!"
  19. Hahahaha shell-shocked, you think?
  20. Looks like there's movement from all other parties. Some seem to start going to O'Toole!
  21. Bernier should work on winning more folks for the PPC - BUT at the last minute, he should urge all his members and supporters to go behind O'Toole. At the last minute, Bernier must endorse O'Toole. Bernier will benefit by that gesture, if he shows to Canadians that he's putting the best interest of Canada ahead of any political ambitions.
  22. AMEN TO THAT!!!! If we want a majority, ALL Conservatives will have to go behind O'Toole on this one. Which would you rather have again - a centrist government (O'Toole), or a socialist (Trudeau)? Those are the only realistic choice here! If Trudeau wins, and if he gets his majority - he'll really plunk us down to downright socialism! NDP will be there to support him! Pro-Trudeau journalists are trying to split the votes between conservatives by insistently bringing up O'Toole's progressiveness. I know there's a problem with his progressiveness that doesn't sit well with traditional conservatives (like me with his being pro-choice as an example). BUT, we can deal with that later. Right now, the main focus is to unseat Trudeau!
  23. Lol - that's a likely YES! But it's not really "aid." It's called, "BRIBE." Imagine how Trudeau would look good when he's managed to "convince" the Taliban to give safe passage to Canadian Afghans, and to Afghan allies or vulnerable - most or all of them, women! How much will they charge him per head, I wonder?
  24. Lol - now I believe O'Toole had gone up and is indeed leading. How do I know that? CBC has them neck and neck!
  25. What's the point? Are you kidding? Do you really have to ask that? ? At least............ we're getting rid of a PM who's been PROVEN to be incompetent! If you keep selling the idea O'Toole is a "clone" of Trudeau - then, either you're just a paid Trudeau spinner delegated to forums - or, you don't know what you're on about. Just look at their hair! ? Kidding aside..... You should listen to what O'Toole has been saying. That's the only way you'll understand why though he is progressive, he's not a clone of Trudeau.
