  1. As is pointed in the comments, we need to understand what this money actually was spent on. The fact that they put the word gender in there, versus women, tells me they're probably trying to spike the punch. As for Pierre, calling Liberals "Marxist" is about all you need to know, with regards to his ideological rhetoric.

  3. Well I never understood the strategy, but I'm not really the target either. Regardless of how it appears to a CBC panelist, or to me (a conservative btw) I don't see how anyone can assert that it has the opposite effect unless they do some kind of survey. Even then, it would be difficult. "In a survey of potential voters who are undecided, x% indicated that the large rallies will make them definitely not vote CPC" That seems like a survey that would just produce a percentage of percentage of undecided about being undecided.
  4. I'm sure those rallies turn off CBC panelists. Beyond that, I don't know how they can assert that with any confidence.
  5. 1. Ok. As a former statistician, I don't put as much faith in the polls as many. 2. Ok, but your subjectivity influences your view here. I'm not saying I disagree but pure information is hard to find these days. 3. Lots of people like this man. Lots.
  6. 1. You mean like when he was eating the apple ? I ... guess ? And, no, he's not changing his tack towards media "during the campaign", he's been hostile to them going as far as to implicate the Bell GlobeMedia CEO in a conspiracy to undermine him. Not new. 2. Brave prediction. Are you saying this because 1 ) The current polls are wrong or 2 ) Some wave of realization or Liberal collapse will happen in the next 18 days ?
  7. Agreed, but there's some closer scrutiny required on that statement. The obvious is 'trans rights' which were enshrined into law, and which took with them myriad questions in the legal, social, moral sphere... to the point where this ostensibly tiny but frankly shocking social change got far too much (IMO) focus. Beyond that, moral/social changes followed the usual slow march as they have in the decades before. But economic/social changes were also huge and hard for people to wrap their heads around... So regardless of what you meant, Auguste, you are correct.
  8. Ok, well the USA will be quitting it soon, no worries.
  9. Policy criticism usually looks at the overall effects of policy, not emotional stories about individuals. You can always find a sad story.
  10. The system as it is made the USA the wealthiest nation. Unemployment is low. What is the purpose of this in light of these facts?
  11. I dunno. Nobody likes competition 😔
  12. 1. 😂. Well... what's Satan's take on Climate Change? 2. 🤔 Not sure
  13. What you call "lies" are committed by all dispensers of information constantly, even the blessed FOX news like it or not. Live in the world, my friend.
  14. Sorry - but I have to point a fine point on it: you're a bit of a conspiracy theorist. Loosen up. Mix with people a little more. Even the unabomber talked to the hardware store guy when he bought nails from him...
  15. 1. I assume you mean 'the government'. So ... you're saying that CBC is biased in support of a sitting government, which is maybe true - otherwise we're in conspiracy land. 2. The polls are all lying is indeed a conspiracy theory. 3. This is subjective. Objectively ... well you don't believe in polls so I don't think we can cite anything either way.
  16. I just did an objective assessment of the 2021 polling, and indeed it looks like pollsters are more likely to overestimate liberal response. However, to equate that to a conspiracy doesn't make sense, because polling firms are graded on their accuracy. And you're exaggerated claims that a conservative overestimation would be. The first of its kind is ridiculous. My advice is to try to trust the system a little more.
  17. https://338canada.com/polls.htm The 338 reported the poll from March 29. It looks. It's been about 25 polls since then, none of which show the CPC ahead. It would be easy to look back and compare predictions. What do you think?
  18. Please do update me on your thinking, I appreciate that.
  19. But BLM are terrorists because someone broke a window. And someone threw a rock at a Tesla so the left are violent. They invade the capital, they denigrate institutions and spread misinformation. But they're the good guys...
  20. What are they going to buy? What is going to be going up in value after this cataclysm? Some industries will be dead, and it's going to be tough to predict exactly what recovers sooner. Of course. Utilities, infrastructure and such would be safe, but would you buy any retail stocks? Stocks? Just an example.
  21. No, some wealthy people are going to lose a lot of money.
  22. True brainwashing means that one believes day is night, black is white, wrong is right. You can't get right there in an open society. We're going to see instead is something we haven't seen in a while. People having to come to terms with being wrong
  23. Why do you guys make less than the dishwasher Guy? Makes no sense to me.
  24. I'm going to quietly wait for you to admit you were wrong on this statement.
