Because you people are nuts.

You prefer a more polished Con man?

It just ruins that holier than thou feeling for you doesn't it? That's not what the pardon was for. It was to protect him from being burned at the stake by you people.

Purer than Anthony Fauci?

All the more reason Canadians need wholly funded, universal healthcare that doesn't exclude dental care and that doesn't treat bad teeth as something that deserves moral judgement as opposed to a medical diagnosis.

Talking as opposed to acting. Sure kid... LMAO! Assuming they were eligible...prov dental care sucked for that reason. Like I said, wholly inadequate compared to peer nations of ours. We're treating dental care as a health issue now, not the moral social issue Conservatives forever judged it to be. Wah...sour cranky old grapes is just so you. These are global problems you forever blame on lefties - your signature go-to shtick. Wait until climate change refugees start piling up....We haven't seen anything yet. 🥱 Another go-to shtick of yours. Mom Sure, like I said, blame cheapskate employers for not paying enough - as well you can blame governments for taxing lower income Canadians too much and not taxing the richest Canadians enough. 90% you say? Bullshit.

No, Liberals had to give dental care - they had to cooperate IOW I'm sure it seems that way to any hard-boiled partisan who insists on ascribing the worst possible motives to anyone who doesn't support their guy. The federal CDCP started in December 2023. There was a temporary plan for uninsured kids in 2022 and a mix of largely inadequate provincial plans. Perhaps but in any case we have an increasingly universal plan that's bringing us closer to our peers in Europe where dental care is just another health issue that's included with health care. Inadequately as I said. Meanwhile the CDCP helped at least a million Canadians in its first year, another 2 million became eligible and if Carney is elected will become universal like all other health care. That's a pretty big stretch. I could do the same thing by saying that cheapskate employers don't pay enough so people can adequately support themselves. That's not a stretch it's just silly.

Better during the last term than if he'd held a majority. As I said many times he was just a dilettante. It worked just fine AFAIC. It got us dental care. Which worked out even better given Carney extended it to all Canadians. I'll pretty confident if Trudeau had a majority during his last term dental care wouldn't have happened at all.

It's not containing or mitigating the ideology of a PM that's on my mind, it's the power they have that's more important.

To the middle, hopefully resulting in a minority. The times call for cooperation - Trump and America are a clear demonstration of how political domination leads to trouble.

So why is Trump backing off on us all of a sudden? My guess is he either senses we're in a better position than meets the eye and more likely he knows his position is weaker and based on bluff and bluster.

No. And notice we're still a country.

I bet it'll only take about 6 months until people are rioting in the streets.

So did practically every other government in their countries history.

COVID, war and inflation weakened the world. Something you people blame Trudeau for as well but, you're all nuts so....

A Liberal minority...if you're lucky. Try to keep up FFS.

Again, you're pointing at an issue that is global in its breadth and scope. No one was or could have been prepared for a crazy maniac bent on torching the global economy on fire.

Yabut the most salient point is they're all right wing - I say that of course with the caveat there are good positive nuances that matter. At the end of the day however there remains a naturally persistent ideological and majority inclination in Canada and amongst Canadians for progressiveness. It's almost cultural for crying out loud. Most of the above conservative types you mentioned will just as naturally vote for Poilievre.

And just a few short months ago his stable genius was trumpeted far and wide heralding a two - three term right wing conservative domination of the political landscape in North America and a similar backlash around the so-called free world. Now you'll be lucky if you only see the fruition of a US recession induced midterm disaster and a Liberal minority or worse.

Who's to say the next guy won't? It's a trend that's been heading in this direction around the world. Some 70% of humanity live under authoritarian governments now. It's a stepwise process Trump took a flying leap down.

Nope. You just suck at deflection is all.

One poll. From the article; Surveys released by seven other major pollsters (Leger, Nanos, Mainstreet Research, Pollara, Angus Reid Institute, Liaison Strategies, Ekos) all continue to show the Conservatives trailing by as much as nine points. In any case, I like the idea of a tightening race possibly culminating in a minority government. Hopefully the NDP regain some ground, they should if they can make hay out of the fact Carney is aiming to become a tax collector as opposed to having been a professional tax avoider in the private sector. Talk about a conflict of interest.

Liberals didn't start the trade war. You sound like someone who blames Ukraine for its invasion.

Everyone is angry. What Albertans apparently need is a rocket scientist to explain why they should focus their anger in the same direction. Maybe whoever Danielle Smith called to get the skinny on the UFO's buzzing around Alberta knows something.

Whoever it is don't forget all the shiny new powers the Prez has bestowed on the title will be there for them to use and abuse too. Maybe Trump will keep his promise to make the last election America's final election.
