You're an evil caucasian. You have no culture or heritage, nothing to celebrate or protect except your violence and exploitation. No other people besides caucasians commit violence, start wars, have a history of racism, slavery, homophobia, misogyny, or religious intolerance. Shame on you.

Now my friend can only afford to pay off the interest every month on his mortage with the rates having been jacked high. So at this rate he will never pay off his mortgage.

Toronto has been a pretty well-run city. For instance, housing isn't the city's fault, condo buildings have been flying up like mad for many years. The traffic grid is utterly fantastic, but the city can't control the pace of how many migrants move to the city. It's impressive they've adapted to the population pressures so well.

Those are small references to the PM in amendments to the Constitution via the Constitution Act, 1982. Let me know if you can find reference to the PM in the Constitution Act, 1867. Or if you can find where the PM's main roles and duties are described, their powers laid out, how the PM is chosen etc. You will find nothing but a few references to the PM in the newer amendments. The role of the PM is not written in our constitution, or within any law, it is followed by unwritten convention, ie: common law, in the British tradition. Our constitution is very different from the US's, they have civil law, where everything is explicitly written down. Only Quebec follows civil law.

How would Olivia Chow win in a city that elected Rob Ford? Toronto is mostly immigrants, and most immigrants aren't exactly socialists, they come from countries with pretty conservative beliefs, except for the communist governments they flee for their lives from.

I once read a book that queefed on my face.

The GG is unelected and has little legitimacy in a democracy to make any policy decisions whatever, and therefore they do not. If you want to live under the policies decided by kings and queens then build a time machine and travel back 1000 years to another country. I tend to agree. The US solved this problem by having the President have executive functions only (like fast decisions needed during war or security threats) and able to choose their cabinet outside of the legislature, with only limited power to veto bills that weren't passed with a supermajority. Therefore, we could elect our GG or remove the PM from the legislature, or something else to lessen the hierarchical power of the PM and our legislature that decide our laws. The PM has too much power.

Why? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_Minister_of_Canada Isn't it sad how little Canadians know about their country and how their government works? The Great Liberal Party Project!

A radical idea: not having a bully telling fellow MP's how to vote. It's true, there is no constitutional requirement for an PM. The PM and their role is written nowhere in our constitution. Much of our constitution is unwritten and followed by convention. The thing is the PM serves as the executive, which means they make day-to-day decisions similar to a President, like military decisions that need to be made quickly and no time for a vote or debate. In the US system the POTUS is not a member of the legislature, they don't get a vote in Congress, they serve as the executive.

Twitter wants to talk about the sexy boots of M&MS. We pay politicians to manage the things they are in charge of. They shouldn't only act reactively after public pressure, they should do their jobs.

Uh oh another thread by a Russian bot.

Pay them enough money in the towns they're needed and they'll move. They moved to the US for more money. Just keep cranking up the salary offer until someone bites. Old white people live in the smaller towns too, they're totally screwed by a lack of public planning. Central planning is too inefficient to deal with these things fast enough. Immigration populations dont distribute evenly across the country.

Yes, the Canadian Crown. The British Crown has no legal involvement in Canada anymore. It's an entirely separate legal title.

Loyalists are loyal to the British Crown. We threw the British Crown out many decades ago. Read your history.

We also sell bags of milk. That's retarded. Growing up with bags of milk has shaped us as culturally unique. I think you're stuck in 1866. We haven't been loyalists since at least the Statute of Westminster, the Citizenship Act, and Royal Style and Titles Act and many other pieces of legislation. Get over it and stop whining about your own identity issues. If you want to be a Brit or an American then go move to Britain or America. As far as i'm concerned America and Britain have colonized your brain lol.

Canada has a history. They write books about it. Your argument is that all republican regimes are American. Is France American? Very doubtful

Becoming a republic makes you an American citizen, you heard it here first!

Yes the wokesters and GOP hardcores are a bunch of fools. I suspect reasonable people are either not as loud and pushy or an endangered species.

Gotta whine about something i guess. For the wokesters its anything not PC. Besides drugs use and bourgie fashion trends was our culture really that bad pre-woke?

I still don't know what some people have against Jews. Being super literate & educated? Winning?

He'll probably lose again. If they want to nominate a guy who already lost because they can't read the room that's up to them. The GOP just take everything too far.

I think Trump is moderate on some things and what you say is true on some if not many of his positions, but he's right or far-right on some other stuff. He's a racist authoritarian, for example. His Muslim ban and election denials are no moderate positions. Since i'm a moderate there's a number of general positions I agree with on. His problem is that his rhetoric is often quite inflammatory and he triggered a lot of people. He is a narcissistic megalomaniac. He's no statesmen. If he just learned to STFU & be more respectful he would have done a lot better and might have been re-elected. He was ruined by his own arrogance.

Liberals are the epitome of "do as I say, not as I do". Even with climate they talk the talk but don't walk the walk. I don't particularly like Liberals, stretching back a long time. They are arrogant elitists who think they know better than anyone. The NDP, Greens, and the Bloc at least care about their principles more than winning, which I can respect. Which is why they'll never win i guess.

The Liberals do well because: 1. they elect true bilingual leaders from Quebec, which the Quebecois like. 2. They appeal to the left-of-center political sensibilities of the urban voters of Quebec and Ontario. That's usually enough for them to take the election. Maybe Pierre Poillievre's French name will get him some play in Quebec. Jagmeet Singh should change his name to Jean-Luc Francois.

That's an insane legal decision Under what law are they basing this on? The courts just decide what they want and make up legal justification for it later. The Charter has no teeth. And what happens when the state doesn't provide adequate health care? It's odd to ban health practitioners from making people healthier, while doctors have a right to kill fetuses and people who want to commit suicide.
