Or were they selected, at least in part, because the new leader wants to have a more inclusive shadow cabinet? If the latter... There ya have it. You don't even know why they were chosen, you're just assuming the worst and blathering about it. Personally I have no clue how good his picks are, but Lantsman at least had the intestinal fortitude to side with the Freedom Convoy, which is a huge plus for her, and she supported PP for leader, so she was definitely a leading contender. I don't know a lot about Uppal. Whatever. Good for him. We'll know what he's all about soon enough, and he's obviously a far better human than McKenna, Freeland et al. Obviously some of the conservatives backed other leaders, and a lot of them were lacking in the courage necessary for top cabinet positions. 1 1 Quote If CNN gave an infinite number of monkeys an infinite number of typewriters, leftists would believe everything they typed.

Comparing our government and state of affairs in Canada to the most murderous regimes and individuals is ridiculous if you expect to be taken seriously.

Lol And you'd be shouting how they were breaking promises if they'd decided to do just that. You'd condemn them for doing what you wanted them to do, just as you do for giving tax money back to the people. Condemn them for making a deal with the NDP, condemn them for sticking to it. Condemn them for taxing and spending when they didn't tax more, condemn them for spending because they didn't tax more. Move South and join the Republicans if your idea of good politics is nothing more than obstruct everything. 1 Quote

Are you afraid of Pierre Poilievre, afraid his intelligence and enthusiasm will overwhelm your little Port Alberni welfare world? Afraid of anyone who will try to get Canada back on its feet again? Your clown in Ottawa has done major damage to this country. I consider him a traitor, and his devoted followers as fools. 2 Quote

August1991 Posted September 15, 2022 Report Posted September 15, 2022 (edited) IMHO, Alain Rayes is a better tell. ==== I have no insider info. I'm just using my own experience of life. ===== I saw Charest the other night, stand up from his chair. Only 16%. I expected more. Obama well said that politics is like life - but different. In life, we win and lose - but this is private. In politics, our wins and losses are public. Edited September 15, 2022 by August1991 Quote
August1991 Posted September 15, 2022 Report Posted September 15, 2022 It is hard to lose as Charest has just lost. == Nixon referred to Roosevelt's quote of the man in the arena. ====== Poilievre would be wise to talk to Charest. Quote
August1991 Posted September 15, 2022 Report Posted September 15, 2022 (edited) Obama? Something that has always bothered me about him - more certainly his wife - is that life is not a zero-sum game. I reckon that Barack got the idea of a positive-sum game. ===== Trump? He knows all about a positive-sum game - that's how he views the world. I'm reminded of a video where Trump discusses negotiating with Senators/Congress. President Trump pointed at the coffee table in the Oval Office and said "Negotiating with Congress is like negotiating with this table." Edited September 15, 2022 by August1991 1 Quote

A childish strawman argument, kudos. Trudeau picked a 50/50 cabinet which had absolutely no basis in merit whatsoever - it was just a woke joke. There's a 99% chance that our country wasn't run by the most capable people available to our PM at the time and that should matter to you. I'm a conservative. If I felt like he picked some lesbians to look good I'd be pretty pissed, but I'd rather have an actual conservative in an important cabinet position, who happens to be a lesbian, than Jean Charest. 2 Quote If CNN gave an infinite number of monkeys an infinite number of typewriters, leftists would believe everything they typed.

This answers the question definitively whether Pierre intends to go to the centre or even... the left ?!? I may be too conservative to vote for him at this point but I WILL KEEP AN OPEN MIND.... Also How much GAY is in that sentence ? OMG... it says CAUCUS and O'TOOLE ! Ok, calm down everyone... ? Everybody please help out and pick a conservative up off the floor, thanks...https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/poilievre-commons-leadership-team-1.6581317 As that photo had misled me to think it was a celebration of having appointed LGBTQs and being cheered by caucus, you should point out that the photo was taken in year 2018, at the wedding of Melissa. Thanks for DOP for clarifying that. The photo had been the reason for me to question if it clashes with my Christian belief - basing it on a particular Biblical verse. So far, Poilievre hasn't done anything to promote and endorse values that are not acceptable to a lot of Christians. People are not being forced to accept anything that goes against their conscience. In fact, that he's running on FREEDOM - particularly, expression - being himself, a believer in God, he'll also protect religious freedom/expression. That, to me, is quite important. That he acknowledges and admit to his stance of being progressive - being pro-choice and acceptance of same-sex marriage - that, to me, is his prerogative. I welcome his honesty on the matter. Like all of us, he is entitled to his free will. That's what free will is all about. I have no problem that he'd appointed LGBTQs or women or whatever for his team.....hoping that it's not only done as a political convenience but as also acknowledgment of their merit. That's how it's supposed to be - giving responsibilities thru merits. I'd doubt he'll appoint anyone who can't meet the challenge of a portfolio, which will cause him an embarrassment. It is biblical to treat people equally. To treat foreigners and immigrants living among us fairly, as we would treat our own people. The prophet Daniel didn't have any problem serving under a PAGAN king. However, he drew the line on worship. That is a comfort to me. On casting my vote - for me, it is looking at the BIG PICTURE.
