Slogans in the 2019 Canadian Federal Election

[square]

Obviously the next election is a long way away, but I'm just wondering what do you think will be some of the Slogans which will be played out.

In the last election is was:

Strong Leadership

Time for Change

Time for real Change

In the US Election we have seem:

Stronger Together

Make America Great Again

I'm start first "More Sunny Ways"

[Derek 2.0]

I'll go with:

[The_Squid]

I'll go with:

Yes.... Conservatives should run on Harper's legacy in 2019.... That's a winning strategy!

[Michael Hardner]

I fixed the thread title.

[Derek 2.0]

Yes.... Conservatives should run on Harper's legacy in 2019.... That's a winning strategy!

It very well could be, it would depend on the state of the economy and how many people have been alienated by Trudeau's broken promises and lack of substance....eventually, those voters that gave Trudeau his majority will get tired of his pretty mouth noises and selfies.

It's more likely that in 3 years, most people won't even Remember that Harper was PM - not because of anything Trudeau did. It just won't matter to them anymore.

Anyway, your theories don't make much sense. The economy was terrible almost the entire time that Harper was PM through no fault of his own. It looks like the economy may be similarly terrible for Trudeau - again, no fault of his own. His poll numbers are still about as high as anyone could have at this point, and Canadians are happy to have him. The Liberal party is good at playing to the mythos of modern Canada. The Conservatives aren't a fan of that mythos. Dark and gloomy isn't in season right now.

Hopefully, NDP will have a viable candidate at that point. Slogan: "You've tried the rest, now try the best!"

[DogOnPorch]

2019 Slogans:

"It's Really Not Our Fault."

"Free Trip To The Hajj With Evey Vote."

"Support Robot Unions!"

[Derek 2.0]

Forget viable, just hope for a candidate

Likewise the Tories, as it stands, of the declared field seeking the leadership of my party, there is little to get excited about.

[Smallc]

That's because there's a ~95% chance that Trudeau will win again. It's almost always thus.

I know, and that is a benefit for the Tories up against a personality cult like Trudeau........with that, his policies will always be marketable to the segment of voters that decide elections.

"Terrible" is subjective.........if, as I expect, Trudeau's policies make the economy worse ~3 years from now, they very much so will factor into 2019.

Trudeau's sunshine will only go so far, once he is forced into actually making policies that alienate segments of voters his lack of substance will be more pronounced.......already he his pissing away the goodwill he received from First Nations and Vets, and these are but narrow segments of the population...........Trudeau's sunshine won't help jobless or underemployed middle class voters pay their bills.

Of course, the selection of leaders and policies by both the Tories and NDP will be a big factor in 2019, if they both crap the bed on this, we'll get another Trudeau government (see Ontario). Simple as that.

[DogOnPorch]

More 2019 Slogans:

"Re-Elect Conrad Black"

"Allow Manitoba into the Caliphate!"

"Mexico! Canada's 13th Province Now!"

[Derek 2.0]

That's because there's a ~95% chance that Trudeau will win again. It's almost always thus.

And there is a 103 1/4% chance that your ~95% chance is a made up number without a foundation in reality or basis in fact.

I did make up the 95% figure. What isn't up for debate is that most PMs who win an election, win more than 1 election:

And most of those PMs enacted, or promised to enact, policies of substance.......Our current Prime Minister's father only barely won reelection in '72 in part to a divided right and a lackluster PC leader in Robert Stanfield.....the same in '74, combined with Trudeau's bold face lie over wage and price control measures to curb inflation (created by his own policies)......the 80' election was a direct result of the inept and divided right (yet again).

As I said, with this Trudeau, I've no doubt if the Tories (and NDP) go with a modern day version of Stanfield, Trudeau will be reelected....if they don't, like governing parties in the past, a death of a thousand cuts will be their undoing.......in Trudeau's situation, coming is as the third party in 2015, he promised too much to too many people, promises his government has no hope in hell of fulfilling.........(most) voters don't reward "sunny ways" shone up their collective asses.

The Liberals had, by far, the most substantive campaign pledge book. So far, they have enacted 34 of those policies, and have 62 in progress. There are 20 broken promises, many timeline related:

https://www.trudeaumetre.ca/

So? What maters is the promises made (and broken) and to whom......for example, the Liberals granting permits for both the Site C dam and an LNG terminal in Squamish.....in both cases the Liberals have approved projects that the Conservatives once supported, the very projects that cost the Federal Tories heavily in British Columbia, in part Metro Vancouver......with several ridings the Liberals won that typically go Conservative or NDP.....if they approve the Kinder Morgan pipeline, as expected, they might has well not bother campaigning in their Lower Mainland ridings in 2019......

Or their budget earlier this year that reduced Federal health transfers to 2.8% from the 3% promised by the evil Harper regime....over the next decade with the Liberals spending plans, the percentage of healthcare funding nationwide will go from the 22% promised by Harper down to around ~18%....and yet the Liberals always suggested Harper's hidden agenda was to destroy public healthcare in Canada.....What do you think the result will be in Quebec or the Atlantic provinces, areas already facing big funding pressures? Do you think these provinces will approve of the Trudeau Liberals slashing their healthcare systems?

And the list goes on..........a death by a thousands cuts, and if the other parties select a reasonable leaders and platforms and/or the economy is still the shits the Trudeau Liberals will bleed out in 2019.

[Smallc]

You're living the same fantasy you were before the last election.

[Derek 2.0]

You're living the same fantasy you were before the last election.

Judging by you attempting to get personal, a "fantasy" that you can't refute......Trudeau's pissing off of First Nations groups and cutting health transfers is not something I made up, nor Harper did to Trudeau, but choices made by the Trudeau Government, choices that won't please certain segments of the voting population that Trudeau promised the Earth & the Moon to, with a heavy dose of Sunny Ways.......

Yet another example:

"They told our teams they don't have a mandate," said Robyn Benson, PSAC president. "Well, if you don't have a Liberal mandate, then you still have a Conservative mandate."

Benson said the government's agenda has changed very little since the Liberals were elected almost a year ago.

And

Debi Daviau, president of PIPSC said her union did some preliminary work with Treasury Board over the summer, leading up to the planned negotiations, in the hopes of making progress once they sit down.

"Not unlike other unions, we are starting to grow thin on patience," said Daviau. "In the coming weeks, if it doesn't show progress, we'll need to declare a deadline on negotiations."

So add public service unions to the list of special interest groups that helped elect Trudeau and the Trudeau Government is now stiffing......Do you really think First Nations groups, public service unions, veterans groups, the environmental groups etc are going to still feel all warm and fuzzy with the Trudeau Liberals in 2019?

Harper, in his dealings with said groups, benefited with low expectations and such groups hated him and likely wouldn't have supported him anyways......Trudeau promised them the moon and is now treating them like the previous Harper government did.......you expect them to still support Trudeau in 2019 and not filter to the fringes in the NDP or the Greens? Talk about living in a fantasy

It would appear as though nothing really matters to Canadians anymore. They just don't care about remembering anything about or what happens in Canada at any time. They just seem to be to busy running for this cause or running for that cause and getting those bike lanes up and running. If they cared more about politics, people like Trudeau would never have become PM of Canada. Harper was in for eight years, let s change the face.

People will get tired of Trudeau. He isn't God. He'll make some people mad for various reasons and he'll either leave willingly or get voted out. That is almost certain to not be by the next election. It's possible, but it's very unlikely.

Again you're making up a position not grounded in reality.....a whole bunch of bad (or good) things can happen within the next three years to this Government, just within this next year Trudeau is going to be forced to enact policies that are going to piss people off, likewise the other two parties will have or be near to selecting their next leaders and begin to craft their own policies......and Canadians will have paid a years worth of taxes under Trudeau tax policies and will be looking towards a "price on carbon" for their next years taxes......

This far out there is simply a 50/50 chance that Trudeau will be reelected.........he either will or he won't, a whole host of variables will decide, most of which haven't even took place yet..........

Do you like Trudeau's prospects with a President Trump, a possible President, Trudeau has decried, that has promised a whole host of protectionist policies, including tearing up NAFTA......have you considered what Trudeau's prospects will look like if our economy takes a nose dive thanks to the guy down South?

[Smallc]

I already showed you that historically, there is more than a 50% chance that he will be re-elected. Given his approval ratings at this point (higher than any other PM in recent memory at the same point) it's much higher than 50/50.

[cybercoma]

Given that the opposition parties don't even know who their leadership will be next election, he's virtually assured the victory until that happens.

[BC_chick]

Yep. In which case a fitting slogan would be 'You get what you get and you don't get upset'.
