They should've funded with more thought and planning than how they did it! Look at CERB as an example. Why would people want to work if they're paid to stay at home? Not that I'm saying there should be no CERB - but, the problems that could arise from it should have been anticipated. If I'm not mistaken, this revamped CERB was how the Conservatives had suggested it way back. Look at the WE project. Kaput. Students lost out. What happened?

Unfortunately, that seems to be prevalent now. Socialism has indeed rooted well, and we're getting there.

I believe he'll be spending like it will be his last term - like, there is no tomorrow. We may never recover from the deficit he'll be adding - it'll be the end of the standard of living as we know it.

I'm hoping it will be Lewis. .............but, whoever it is that wins, I'll be voting for him/her. Trudeau is right. We've got to do a '"reset." A very serious "reset." We need a new PM.

I have to admit I don't know much about that.

That's not corruption! Lol. He didn't ram it through against the will of conservatives! They voted on it! If I remember it right - the aim was to unite the divided conservatives! At some point, the leader will have to make his decision. That's not a flaw! That's..............................LEADERSHIP! If McKay had indeed thought it best for the Conservatives to be united - then, he decided unselfishly! He gave up leadership for the best interest of all conservatives! That decision had helped tremendously for the Conservatives to finally win a federal election! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_MacKay And why shouldn't McKay negotiate for a cabinet position? He was the leader of the other party - he has to have some important position within the new coalition! How can he have any input at all in this new party if he has no cabinet position? There's nothing wrong with that! That's common! Just look into business mergers - there is something that's always negotiated for! Furthermore, it's not comparable at all to the corruption we've seen REPEATEDLY committed by Trudeau! The brazen and blatant efforts at corruption/unethical dealings by Trudeau is.................................................. groundbreaking! Lol - Trudeau averages one ethic breach a year! There could be more that went on. Let's not forget his attempt to try to sneak in a bill that gives him so much power in that covid bill that was supposed to be emergency aid for Canadians! Lol, good thing that the opposition had caught that! I'd rather take my chances with a new Captain at the helm. I'd like to see an election!

"Re-building....," will be the biggest excuse - and of course, who cannot agree to the importance of that? Who among us don't see it as a priority? We haven't seen nothin' yet. If this federal government is able to continue - Trudeau will push all his grandiose plans (in the name of "rebuilding the economy") - and would likely commit more unethical dealings - like this is his last chance to do so!

I don't think sole-sourcing and throwing money at cronies are any solutions at all......especially when we're in a middle of a crisis due to this pandemic. Let's not assume that the half-billion that was supposed to be given to WE (minus the admin fee) would all end up being used on students. Corruption breeds corruption. Everyone in the loop will get something. How much of that pie are given to all the parties involved in this dealing - including public servants that "endorsed" WE? How many among them involved in this "shaping up" have been given, or promised lucrative incentives? How much will be used to buy some real estate? Lol. They're having a COVID party and slicing up the pie. The taxpayers who shoulders all the expenses are given...............CRUMBS. That's how it looks. That's how it feels.

Last night, CBC streaming news below is now saying that the Feds have given so many documents that support their contention regarding to the contracting of WE. No mention of the redacted emails - and no mention of some damning statements (as shown by Poilevre in the press con), in some of those documents.

Watched the Conservatives' press con this morning. An email by a senior public servant described the recent WE program as a "shit show!" Indeed, only a truly concerned public servant would be so bold as to speak his mind with disregard for the repercussions against him. All those redacted emails - I'm so concerned that Trudeau will take advantage of the Covid, and use "rebuilding the economy," as an excuse to dole out taxpayers' money, and sole-source contracts to his cronies. We are so like the third world countries now in regards to blatant corruption! I would like to have a fall election. However, even if the Conservatives and PQ are on the same page about bringing down this government, the two of them won't be enough. They need to have the NDP on board. I don't think Jagmeet Singh will want to have an election.....so, he's likely to be the one to prop up Trudeau (of course, in exchange for something). With what we're seeing......any party leader who tries to prop up this government, would be as corrupt! Or, he doesn't really care. Whether your party is financially prepared for an election or not, whether you're up n the polls or not........... ...........................what's in the best interest of the country should come first. The longer this government sits in power, the deeper we get into a massive debt which the future generation will have to shoulder. Do you want a fall election? Your thoughts.

Yeah.....why is Jagmeet hardly heard on the WE scandal? And now, this prorogue of Parliament - he might be silent again. Must be doing some backroom dealing with Trudeau.

He said he wants to be secretary-general of OECD, and Trudeau will support him. Trade off?

It didn't happen overnight. The Feds were warned as early as February!

Irrelevant to this topic. Because the COVID-19 happened on Trudeau's watch! The warning of shortages was delivered to Trudeau's administration! Stay focused, please. Indeed.....a question for Trudeau! Especially so when the Feds had received the warning of shortages several weeks before the s*** hit the fan! https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/ppe-shortages-slow-response-1.5684962 And indeed, the global demand made it difficult to contract more equipments - and most likely due to the global demand - prices for them were also high! If I remember correctly, at some point countries were on a bidding war for shipments! PEOPLE DIED ..............................BECAUSE OF THAT NEGLECT! Trudeau's government has to be held accountable for that!

Take your TDS to a Trump thread nearest you........this isn't about him.

Not only was the Federal government too slow to close our borders......but....... It's coming out now - from the CBC - documents, showing that the Federal government has failed to act accordingly despite warnings and urgent requests from Health Care section, to fill up the shortages in PPEs and other health equipments required to fight the Corona virus as early as March, 2020. Covid-19 was ripping through Asia at the time, but instead of adapting practical preparedness - the Feds had adapted a casual attitude about it. How many essential workers in the Health Care section had died? How many essential workers in nursing homes were forced to abandon their jobs in fear of contracting the virus - leaving the elderly to fend for themselves, dying in their beds? I can still recall watching the daily plea for PPEs as people were dying! Trudeau has to answer for that!

Watching CBC cover Kamala Harris. The network showed CANADIAN visible minorities all excited and rooting for Harris. The network seems so anxiously trying to have a Canadian connection with Kamala Harris! Tell me Canadian visible minorities won't get all giddy and exited........doing the same for LESLYN LEWIS!

........just don't have any babies with her!

So....RCMP or OPP are not investigating at all?

I've seen some grocery products up by a dollar! Once they go up, I don't think they'll ever come down again.

Boy, does he ever wrap himself up with the covid flag!
