Party Leader: Singh, Trudeau Jnr, Carney etc

[August1991]

Clearly, a small group can control the choice of a party's leader.

Let's see how a broader group views the choice.

Why did you leave PP's name of that party leaders list?

Two traitors and an unknown?

I think at this point you could safely say three traitors.

Pierre Poilievre?

I have argued on this forum that what makes Canada civilised is that we Canadians have a tendency to cross party lines.

Even when a Catholic is on the ballot, Catholics vote for a Protestant.

Even when an Anglophone is on the ballot, they vote for a Francophone.

Just the thought of the unknown fella in Canadians’ minds has caught the Libs up to the Cons in the polls and spurred the National Post to write 10 op-eds a day.   5 op-eds telling us he’s Trudeau and 5 op-eds espousing the manly qualities of PP.

How do you define “traitor”, because it’s certainly not the definition from the criminal code.

What would happen if an atheist were on the ballot?

How do you not define traitor,

Not even an attempt at a honest discussion?   
 

You made the claim.  Why can’t you even define your terms?

By record, we Canadians have a long history of voting for politicians not in our tribe.

We get along.

Trudeau was 'hired' to help Canada and its citizens have a safe and better country, and a reasonable standard of living.  He's not even tried to live up to this mandate.  His sole purpose was/has been to try to make himself look good on the world stage.  He's been a disaster/failure on all counts.  We've been saddled with a huge debt to pass on down the line with f'k all to show for it. Nothing! Zilch!

Trudeau has not done anything for Canada.  He's a treacherous cretin . . . . a traitor to every Canadian.

So, you left PP's name off your title on purpose?

in broad strokes, Section 46 of the Criminal Code defines treason as attempting to overthrow the monarchy

but how many Canadians actually defend & uphold the monarchy now ?

the Canadian populace is at this juncture totally alienated from its own Constitution

The constitution has a formula to change it.  It’s not holy scripture, forever unchanging and unchangeable.  It’s also not infallible.   It could be improved upon.  
 

If we get alienated enough, we will change it to something better.

I really don't care anymore

my Canada was the British North America Act 1867

the Canada Act 1982 which replaced that is a contradictory bastardized failed state

mind you, according to the letter of the law, if you actively attempt to make Canada into a republic

that's technically treason by Section 46 of the Criminal Code

I am absolutely loyal to His Majesty The King, unto death as necessary

but I acknowledge that I am the last of a dying breed therein ; a stranger in my own land

it's more accurate to say that the world is moving on without Canada, inciting Canada into an existential crisis

but I welcome that actually ; with crisis comes opportunity

not about the fate of Canadian Confederation

I view Canada as being a failed state already

I've moved on from wanting to save Canada from itself therein

PP?

Singh.

I fear that he is NDP leader because of a tribal vote. Capture of a party.

The federal Liberals recently excluded a potential leader for the same reason.

I strongly disagree.

1. Without civil war, our federal State has existed for far more than four score years.

2. We have two federal official languages. We get along.

3. In all means, we are no longer a monarchy.

And our government debt to GDP ratio is the lowest amongst the G7.

I thank Chretien-Martin, and Harper.

Harper increased the debt to GDP ratio.  Why are you thanking him?
