  1. “The United States has no closer or more reliable ally than Australia.” Joe Biden

      Over 76% of our exports go to the US. We have no military to speak of and rely entirely on the US to defend us. Access to US markets is essential for our whole economy.

      So yes.

  3. The 2021 Trudeau Liberals: The least popular Canadian government ever elected

    1. Argus

      Argus

      Trudeau is a dick and nobody much likes him. He largely won through bribing people with their own money, scare tactics, and because the Tories didn't offer anything even mildly exciting so their voters stayed away in droves.

  4. Lose the popular vote and win 30+ more seats.  What a system!

      Trudeau had the exact same covid policy as O'Toole until he started to lose. He had called vaccine mandates unnecessary and divisive. He abruptly changed to make it a wedge issue because being divisive was no longer important when he was facing losing an election

  5. O'Toole was fully supportive of Jason Kenney's handling of COVID, which has led that province's Healthcare on the verge of collapse. I'm not sure I can support that kind of leadership.

      The idea Trudeau cares about Covid, as opposed to 'saying the right things' is laughable. This is the government which failed utterly to prepare, threw away PPE gear, retasked the health units which were supposed to watch for pandemics, ignored the Chinese one, telling Canadians to go have fun on spring break, and didn't do a thing until Trudeau's wife caught it.

      They didn't even try to order PPE gear until the end of March, refused to close the borders, at first, then refused to institute health screening or quarantines. They made a secret deal with CHINA for vaccines, and when they finally realized months later that China was jerking them around floundered around the world throwing buckets of money at pharmaceutical companies to let us in line ahead of others. How much we'll probably never know as they made the costs state secrets. 

      They have shown little interest in fighting covid, and Trudeau's policy on vaccines was identical to O'Toole's up until the election, when he evidently felt he could make political hay out of pitting O'Toole as softer on vaccines than him. Thus he helped further politicize vaccines.

      Alberta performed well through most of Covid. It was only the fourth wave that hit them hard.

  6. Trudeau waited a full year to force incoming travellers to Canada to quarantine for 14 days.  He owns the delta variant.

      Unless there's been an announcement I missed we've never required a 14 day quarantine. They instituted a ridiculous three day quarantine a year into the pandemic, but it was clearly just for show, just to say they had.

  7. Watching Biden's speech because it happened to come on CNBC while I was doing something. He sounds more convincing, more moderate, and more intelligent than anything that blowhard Trump ever said.

      You mean like politicians who want to pay for what the government does instead of just borrowing? You mean politicians who stand up to China instead of just pretending? You mean politicians who make sense and don't brag and sneer?

      There are a lot of things I don' like about the Democrats and their policies. If the Republicans had reasonable people, and maybe a conservative or two, I'd probably be rooting for them instead.

      Biden gave a thoughtful, intelligent speech on a variety of issues, including raising taxes to pay for your spending, something the allegedly-but-not-really conservatives Republicans find to be repugnant. They seem to prefer constant borrowing.

      I was pointing out his charisma, his ability to generate enthusiasm, to fill a hall.

      I might add that if the Liberals win again with 'scary scary conservatives' despite the move to the left by O'Toole and his clear messaging on social issues they ought to just give up trying to please the media.

      If it turns out O'Toole's move to the Left costs him more seats from the right than he picks up from the centre the Tories will likely move back towards the right. I don't see them ever picking up on Bernier's anti vax, anti mask lunacy though.

      They need a leader who has some charisma, a communicator who can put real conservative views out there convincingly. Unfortunately, the only person they had in the last twenty years who showed any sign of charisma was Kevin O'Leary, and he quit because of a lack of French, leaving us with Andrew Scheer.

  12. Why do western countries(UK, New Zealand) shelter foreigners they know have ISIS sympathies? Both countries spent a fortune on round the clock surveillance so their police could kill them when they started stabbing people. Why not just throw them the hell out?

  13. Anti Vaxxers don't trust dozens of reports, scores of government agencies and thousands of scientists and doctors but let some doofus on FOX news tell them to take horse dewormer to prevent covid and they're like "ONE HUNDRED PERCENT PROVEN!!!""

     

  14. There’d be less of a nurse shortage if provinces stopped firing nurses for choosing not to get vaccinated.  But politics comes before public health.

      And lots of them have caught covid anyway. And now they'll risk giving it to patients who already have other illnesses and perhaps compromised immune systems.

      No one who refuses to be vaccinated should be allowed to work in any capacity in the health care or education systems. In fact, they should be banished from society.

      The only reason there is a shortage of nurses and doctors is deliberate government policy limiting the number of medical/nursing school spaces.

      I have no idea why the crazy ass anti-vaxxers are so angry at Trudeau but I'm pretty sure they have nothing to do with the Tory party other than an occasional volunteer joining them. I would guess most of them are going to vote for the PPC. If you are a crazy anti-vaxxer Max is your boy.
