You've been busy praying haven't you? Good job! The thing that has always puzzled me is the ability of intelligent, extremely well-educated people to do fantastically stupid things on the basis of ideology or religion. Calling Carney an economist is a misnomer. Carney is a climate change extremist. He's been doing nothing but sounding the alarm about the end of civilization and the complete destruction of the planet for more than twenty years. Nothing else seems to matter to him. Certainly not the economy and how it impacts little people. If companies need to be driven into bankruptcy and the economy derailed to get Co2 down that, he thinks, is a very small price to pay. He doesn't even show any sense of concern or empathy for that. Can't make an omelette without breaking eggs, of course. Mind you, he won't be the one paying. On 3/19/2025 at 9:08 AM, Michael Hardner said: The populists hate bankers and anything representing order and stability. They're revolutionaries. So is Carney. He's been talking about the need for a 'green revolution' for over twenty years now. Quote

He has even voted against affordable housing when he was housing minister LOL I'm running into this statement' elsewhere on the net. Obviously, the Democrats have worked with the Liberals and suggested this as a great talking point and the Liberals are parroting it without a second thought. It shows a nearly complete ignorance of the difference between American and Canadian legislation. In short, Canadian MPs do not propose legislation. The most they can do is put forth some private members bill doomed to failure, usually to get their name in their local paper. Even cabinet ministers do not propose legislation, except in cabinet. Proposed legislation is discussed in cabinet, sometimes initiatives by a minister, sometimes by the PMO or prime minister. It is then drawn up by officials, looked at by cabinet again, and then submitted to the house by the appropriate minister. Btw, you have to love CUPE accusing Poiilevre of being in it for banks and billionaires when his opponent is a multimillionaire CEO and Goldman Sachs banker. LOL Edited March 21 by I am Groot Quote
I am Groot Posted March 21 Report Posted March 21 17 hours ago, TreeBeard said: This will be an interesting dynamic in a debate. Housing affordability is a major plank in PP’s campaign, although he only has a slogan for a plan and he has always voted against affordable housing legislation and never introduced any when he was Housing Minister. What was the legislation he voted against? While in office, it would be opposition private members bills. Hardly a surprise. While in opposition, he would be voting against government legislation, again with his party. And again, hardly a surprise. The vacuous nature of the accusations the Left is bringing against him is truly remarkable. Quote

Which PP never did or tried. Even as cabinet member he has not. BTW, PP "As of 2025, Pierre Poilievre’s net worth is estimated to be around $5 million, though estimates of his wealth can vary." Not bad for guy that has never been anything but a public servant Ok, here is another take. If you can dispute anything said, with evidence, please do so.

Even the liberals had to admit that wasn't true, they did investigation after investigation and met with all of the people and such and it had absolutely nothing to do with the actual food chains who constantly made about 3% and have for decades. 3% is not much of a profit. Food prices have gone up because of liberal policy. I mean I could pick apart virtually everything he says every single thing has an error or is misleading or is taken out of context and is bullshit. If you turn to hyperpartisan sources for your media exclusively then it's no wonder you have an incorrect view of what's happening. Also, putting forward that kind of source......

No? hmm Sorry kiddo. This guy is a liar. as to the claim that "nearly" half of the conservative body are "lobbyists", that turns out to be false as well. Notice how they don't name them? Even the couple they do name "HAVE" worked for big companies in the past at least once... but they are not "lobbiests" now. So it's completely a lie to claim they ARE lobbyists at this time, which is what they claimed. Once again - lies and half truths which you, as a liberal supporter, are pushing like crazy.

BlahTheCanuck Posted March 22 Report Posted March 22 (edited) It's really hard to tell because it's unclear how Carney will govern. Canada's economy has already been struggling for a decade as far as productivity per hour worked is concerned and I'm not sure if Carney will do much differently from the previous Liberal government. If a prospective Carney gov't cuts some red tape, facilitates investment in research & development, reduces the housing crunch, maybe makes the tax system more competitive, the country's economic prospects could improve. If he does not do those things, the situation may remain the same or get worse. Edited March 22 by BlahTheCanuck 1 Quote

Which PP never did or tried. Even as cabinet member he has not. I'm not sure how you believe this contradicts what I wrote above. Private members bills are just MPs making a statement to get their name in the local paper. Only a fraction of a fraction of them even pass on to be examined on their merits. And none get passed unless the government of the day wants them to be. Maybe Poilevre didn't feel the need to do something so that people would remember he's actually an MP, like most of the back bench MPs who propose private members bills.

Not bad for guy that has never been anything but a public servant Why do you think that's a lot of money? He's been making a very good salary for many years. Here's a better question. Justin Trudeau's net worth was given as $1.2 million in 2015. After ten years as PM his net worth has someone ballooned to $96 million. How did that happen? Or more to the point, in what way could that be done legally? Quote
