The CPC should wait because JT will not get any more popular and it is always better to be in opposition. After the election, they are going to have to govern and they will find out they will have to continue the policies of the grits because governments do not have much choice when it comes to decision making and they will have to explain why they can’t keep their promises. They will cancel the carbon tax but will need to replace it with something worse. The worst thing they will have to deal with is the Trump administration. That will be Mr. Poilievre‘s biggest nightmare.

I meant the CPC doesn’t need to have an election this fall. They are guaranteed a big majority so what is the rush? They have loads of money and support. Use the time to refine their message into realistic policy. They need to be aware that the voters are not going to be voting for them, but rather voting against the grits.

The NDP has no reason to force an election. They have no money and little support. Neither does the CPC. Mr. Poilievre needs time to pivot from his tendency to issue glib but stupid one liners and mature out of his student politician personality. He should enjoy the rest of the year as leader of the opposition. He is guaranteed a large majority but then he will have to deal with a Trump administration and all of the other nightmares that comes with actually having to govern.

Governments can expedite the transition. Examples are the transcontinental railway that bound Canada together and the ramp up in the Second World War.

You ignore transitioning to nuclear power. There are far more jobs to fill if we transition to nuclear power, electrify and rebuild the rail system, and export reactors and fuel around the world. It is a licence to print money and the centre of it is in Canada, especially in Canada. It can save us from the greenhouse effect and help us preserve our petroleum, coal and iron ore reserves for future generations.

Our wilderness is what makes Canada great. 👍

The chart in the OP is incorrect. Canada is larger than the USA. 9,984,670 square KM.

Wait a minute. The Trudeau government did what you wanted so you changed the subject? You should be rejoicing and promising to vote for the grits.

So, you want the government to interfere in private enterprise. That sounds like socialism. Are you becoming a socialist, Blackbird? we have three companies negotiating a contract in a free market. Two of them are in the business of selling transport and the third is in the business of selling labour. This is how free enterprise works.

No.

Political Smash and others ignore the fact western Canada is sitting on a massive reserve of uranium. By transitioning from fossil fuels to nuclear power, and rebuilding and electrifying the rail systems around the world, this country will be swimming in money and we will be able to preserve our petroleum and coal reserves for future generations.

Well, you did ask me what I think it (WEF) is and I told you what I think it is. 🙂 As for the greenhouse effect, you can demonstrate it in any undergraduate lab in the country. Since my education is deficient, I rely on greater minds than mine such as Stephen Hawking and Michael Hardner who has a link that should resolve your questions. I need to point out that, while I disagree with most (everything) Political Smash said in his OP, since his statement was based on his opinion, his views have the same value as mine. Both he and I could benifit from an editor.

I think it is a forum to discuss the issues of world economics to try and preserve stability.

I can’t believe I read the whole thing. Gimme an Alka Seltzer. He could have just said: He doesn’t understand the purpose of the WEF He doesn’t understand how Canadian elections work. He doesn’t like marriage for love. He doesn’t understand physics and chemistry, hence climate change. He doesn’t like to edit. Just like me. 🥰

Placing my name along side Michael Hardner is wonderful praise by association. Thank you Nationalist. I probably don't deserve it but I'll take it. 😉
