I don't know why the Libs wouldn't think that they can get away murder at this point. They've done it over and over for the past 9 years and the MSM is still just polishing their turds for us in 2025.

The last decent gov't in North America was Harper's, if you discount the first Trump administration, which apparently has nothing in common with his second one.

I don't know why CBC thinks that the Libs are somehow awesome after all we've seen over the past 9 years.

One look at people like eyeball and other supporters here Tells the whole story. They absolutely are horrified at the idea of holding the liberals to account and they do not want that to be a reason why they should not re-elect liberal people. Corruption must be tolerated if we're going to beat those darn conservatives.

It all makes sense if you stop believing that your job as a voter is to benefit the country and start thinking of yourself as beholden to a political party whether they do the right thing or not

It's called Centrism. This will get him elected.

It's called "pulling the wool over the eyes of the dumbest Canadians", so it will only get him the bottom 2% of votes.

Thanks for checking in.

We also have to reduce the global population. The maximum population the earth can sustain is 1.5 billion.

Whaaa..? I'm hoping you're joking, but if not: First off that's dead wrong, and secondly how would we get back to that number? Not sure I want to hear the answer...

You need to edit your post 😉

It just says this:

One thing that was interesting from Carney's press conference yesterday - a reporter noted he went to church that morning and asked if his religious beliefs would affect his policies on abortion and he said no.

But the Libs hammer the Conservative (supposedly a more religious group) on abortion all the time, saying their religious beliefs will make them ban all abortion.

Like I've said before - I don't think the Libs hear what they themselves are saying. They just say whatever is politically expedient in the moment.

over and over.

I don't know what happened there 🤣

it was very weird.

Suddenly all the leftists here agree with you, and they feel a slight burning sensation in the face and neck area, their breathing feels constricted...

For the Lib supporters here, honest question:

What about the last 10 years has been so utterly fabulous FOR CANADIANS AS A WHOLE, NOT JUST ONE AREA OF CANADA, that you want more of it?

I mean, our resources have been squandered to the point the US is bullying us, Trudeau invested all our money into EV's and battery plants that have mostly fled with our money, tent cities everywhere, drug epidemics, violent criminals and pedophiles let out into our streets, the longest list of insider trading and ethical violations, government waste was off the charts....it's endless the amount of scandals and during it all, the Libs focus was getting tampons into men's bathrooms.

I mean, holy crap, even they admit they boffed immigration, they boffed housing, they boffed the economy. These are basic things, people.

And all of them running for leadership said "Ya, we weren't listening to Canadians, but we're going to now." Holy crap! How is that an epiphany in a DEMOCRACY?

What about any of this says, "We need lots and lots more of everything we've gotten for the last 10 years."

Carney and his fellowship have already succeeded in doing the first thing he must set out to do: get the ignorant voters to squabble about who is more or less "left", "right", "woke", etc. Partisanship is the very thing that keeps democracy from actually working. People have been duped into thinking he has been a "public servant" but in reality he was schooled in the real world by the same people who control and run the US economy = Goldman SUCKS. The job of every Wall Street alumnus is to seek to effect legislative, regulatory and enforcement of finance within each economy. If Canadians are stupid enough to elect him (and they probably are) the Hill will be controlled by the same people who now run what is within the Beltway. You see: they really are now "too big to fail".

The media peddle lies about the parties they want to get elected, such as announcements of tax cuts, but this is money that you will have to repay by paying here and there for services that were assumed by the state or loans to finance them with interest. When the Liberals and Conservatives announce tax cuts, the truth is that they are announcing tax increases because you will have to pay the interest on the loans to pay for it.

he is center and not to the left i wouldn't say a conservative though. maybe a slight lean to the right in some cases.. but he is what the country needs right now

Normal Canadians disagree with your assessment that the sky is falling. And they don’t see Poilievre as an effective leader with effective policies that could take on Trump.

Probably because Poilievre’s rhetoric in opposition has been very pro Maple MAGA. Normal Canadians like vaccines. Normal people don’t believe the silly conspiracies about walkable cities being gulags. So when Poilievre cozies up to the fringe, normal Canadians will look for another viable option.

The exact reasons you like Poilievre (and Trump) are the exact reasons normal Canadians would prefer to vote for someone other than Poilievre.

he's not very center. He may be coming across that way a little bit right now but if you look at any of his previous speeches or talks or anything he's fairly hard to the left. I need just tired a bunch of people who are very hard to the left including the president of the century club, he's massively in favor of repressing oil in Canada and adding new carbon taxes to industry which drives our economy down and energy production caps, he's already said that woke is part of our tradition and Canadians embrace it which they don't.

The guy is definitely on the left of the spectrum by a fair and comfortable amount. He's no Centrist

Not real sure about that. The economy still seems to be what normal people are worried about.

It's only the Libs that keep trying to make Trump the main issue in this election.

And I think this is going to cost them in the end. Again, they don't' listen and are completely out of touch with what normal Canadians' concerns are.

Well I'm Sure, he's wrong and he knows it.

Poll after poll showed people thought canada was broken, going in the wrong direction etc. There is a REASON why trudeau was hated, and why he's voted worst prime minister in history again and again.

the country is a mess. Everyone knows it. they want change. IF that werne't true then carney would be running on their track record and not claiming to be the 'change candidate'.

Treebeard is an irrepressible libby supporter and his bigotry and hatred of all things and people right of castro blind him to simple facts.

The whole freaking planet is a mess and everyone knows it and what never changes is they usually blame the latest incumbent fill-in-blank-here party/leader/guru...whatever.

It's kind of pathetic when you think about it.

No it isn't, and you're constant trait and childish attempts to distract from the very real failings of a very terrible government by claiming that nothing is better anywhere is stupid

You like that loser on aliens who cries "game over man! Game over!!!"

Yeah, game's not over. The liberals have given us the Lost Decade. We can EASILY do much better. It is EASY to start to do the right things instead of the woke things. It is EASY to focus on building cnaada, not milking it dry for personal profit (trudeau will now be collecting 3 million a year for sitting on 'boards' of companies he helped while PM).

We can build a healthy happy and prosperous nation.

You can't. You're a nothing loser who supports corruption an terrorists. But we can.

Don't need to. We've got PP Working on it already, and Carney apparently working as hard as he can to put you and your kind into the ground where you belong

the Wokecercism has begun LOLOL

SpankyMcFarland · March 27

Carney has made a lot of money serving the rich in various ‘tax-efficient’ ways. I can see that as a legit talking point for the NDP but it’s weird coming from so-called conservatives.
