More China influence.

[August1991]

You Right-Wingers are blaming China (the Chinese Communist Party) since ordinary people/women in Ontario don't want Singh/NDP, nor Trudeau Jnr.

And Poilievre is unpalatable.

Carney is the best alternative.

As they say, the federal Liberal support is a mile wide, and an inch deep.

After ten years of harm caused by Trudeau and the Liberals, you want a continuation of that kind of Liberal government.  Sounds kind of insane.  Did you read the long list of ethics violations by Trudeau in his ten years.

Did you not notice the cities are full of homeless street people living in tents.

Did you not notice the soft-on-crime or the Liberal's catch and release bail and parole system is causing great harm to businesses and ordinary people.   People fear walking on the streets because they may be stabbed to death.   A 92 year old man in downtown Vancouver was assaulted by a  mob of criminals and died recently.  This kind of thing is common.

Liberals screwed Canada, created the housing crisis, the high cost of living, brought in a million immigrants in a couple years, made our health care system worse and squandered billions of dollars.   You will get more of the same with Carney and the same old Liberals who are behind him.  They are the same group that worked for Trudeau.  Don't expect anything different.

You are blind or must be some kind of cult follower of Liberals.  That is the only rational explanation I can see.

I posted the long list of ethics scandals under Trudeau which his caucus and cabinet never opposed but continued their enthusiastic support of him.  Not to mention the cost of living crisis, the housing crisis, the drug deaths, and the crime crisis under the Liberals.  Thanks for all that.  You are part of the problem.

Harm? In your opinion.

So, the federal Liberals are about to win again. Likely a minority but with the BQ and NDP, it will be a stable government.

Our federal parliament has many seats. I just received voting instructions for my riding. In Canada, we have to show ID.

Sadly you do not understand how government's primary role is to maintain law and order and good government.

The Liberals get a failing grade for the ten years they have held power.   Now we may be about to see a continuation of that.  Sad but true.  Many, such as yourself, do not see the harm done to Canada by the Liberals.  Tragic.

Polievre will wim a majority. When he does, I am curious to see how he will deal with Premier Smith when his government tells her that the oil industry is going to be replaced with solar and nuclear power. The urgency to eliminate most of our greenhouse gas emissions is complicated by the American's total abdication of their responsibilities. We are returning to the days of the first half of World War 2 when Canada had to carry their load. I do not understand how these people can get to where they are without having a clue about what the future we are leaving for out unborn generations is going to look like.

I see it every day. 

Even if you ignore Trudeau's ridiculous vax-fascism and hate-mongering of the unvaxed, he has been a terrible PM and Canada has undergone serious, destructive changes while he was in office.

Homeless encampments didn't exist in this area ten years ago, and now I see people sleeping beside Hwy 10 in Langley. 

If you drove down Hastings St tomorrow you'd feel sick. But it's not just a couple blocks of Hastings anymore, it's many, many blocks long and blocks wide. 

We brought in 1M immigrants in the past 2 years and didn't create that many homes. It's not f'ing rocket science. 

I'd kill myself if I had to drive down Hastings St every day. 

@Queenmandy85

QM, you said that you don't see the quality of life Canada diminishing in Canada (paraphrasing), but you haven't answered to the above yet...

It seems to me that you're chiming in on a lot of less important topics than "homeless Canadians dying in the street" since that was posted...

Do you not know what the homeless situation looks like in Canada now? Do you really think that Poilievre's large crowds and "the one guy who donated to his campaign" are really the main issues that Canadians should be concerned about in the upcoming election?

The Liberal governmet put together the multi partisan team that responded to the Covid 19, probably saving tens of thousands of lives.

Oh, just stop with this nonsense. The Liberals were utterly unprepared for Covid. And the DEI hire they put in charge of Public Health dismissed Covid as even being of much concern. It was her advice to the government to not bar travel from China, her advice to not bother screening those arriving. Her advice to the provinces who caused them to tell their population there was nothing to worry about and to go and enjoy their vacations. Meanwhile, she shipped out our PPE gear to China to be helpful! 

That's on top of letting our own stuff expire over the years and not replacing it, of course.

The Liberals didn't do a thing about Covid until Trudeau's wife caught it. Then they ran around like headless chickens, shooting out money everywhere, and often into the pockets of Liberal party bagmen. They closed the border with China but still did nothing to screen arrivals. All through covid Canada's large collection of immigrants and permanent residents flew back and forth from Asia and the Middle East unhindered and unscreened. No quarantines needed here! They might hurt Liberal Party standings with ethnics, after all!

When they finally admitted something must be done they decided to partner up with CHINA, who hated us, for a vaccine. That delayed us for a good six months before they realized China had no intention of sharing. When they realized that they threw billions at every pharmaceutical company in the world get put earlier in lines than other countries. And how much we paid per dose compared to other countries became a national security secret to protect them from criticism. 

Congratulating them for all this is just utterly eye rolling.

Canada has the lowest debt per capita in the G7 and the second lowest debt as a percentage of GDP in the G7. (Just above Germany)

No, it doesn't. That's a bullshit figure the government loves to give out but it's not true. We're the only country whose pension plan is managed by private equity people and that puts money into stocks so the government gets to put them on the other side of the balance sheet against debts, which lowers net debt. But that's an accounting game that has nothing to do with our debt and which other countries don't play.

19 hours ago, Queenmandy85 said:

My concerns with Mr. Poilievre, beyone his immaturity, are his plan to drive up the debt by cutting taxes while we are under preach to double  the defence budget, up grade healthcare and education.

Carney has not even suggested when he might consider the possibility of developing a plan to look into a timetable of when he might try to balance the budget. If you cared about debt you wouldn't be such a loyal Liberal.

I agree immigration is too him, but that preceeds the Trudeau / Harper administrations. In 1970, I was advocating a population cap of 20 million or less. The problem is the people of Canada put money ahead of quality of country. Both liberals and conservatives are more conserned with growth than preserving what makes Canada special.

Addiction driven social problems grew out of the late 1960's. When I am able to provide a solution, feel free to submit my name fore my Nobel Prize.

When I hear a politician anounce a plan to cure homelessness, or inflation or crime, I have to ask why no one has thought of that before?

Remember to take time during this campaign to enjoy it. This is our national sprort and we do politics better than any other country. After the votes are counted, gather with the workers of the other parties in your area, raise your glasses and toast one and all for a great contest. By all means, play hard and with passion, but respect your opponents. Pierre, Jagmeet, Elizabeth, Mark, and Yves-Francois would all make good Prime Ministers. They are the kind of people who will step up to the challenge.

I posted that that group photo of Carney with all the JCCC folks earlier in the thread, and myata said those are just some Asian-looking people. With an answer like that, he would make a great Liberal politician.

Is that really the extent of your knowledge on this topic? The Libs brought in almost 500,000 people a year for the last two years, QM. It was a ridiculous number. 

Do you think we created 1M dwelling spaces? 

Do you really think the Libs and CPC are trying to bring in immigrants at the same pace as the Libs did? The avg under Harper was under 250K. 

I can't even believe that you wrote all that.

• There was a total of 50,928 apparent opioid toxicity deaths reported between January 2016 and September 2024. ( link )

That's more than the number of Canadians that died in WWII (42,000).

Everyone was upset about narcotics deaths pre-2000, but it was never happening at a rate that's even remotely close to this.

Polievre said he would cut foreign aid.

Trudeau gave away $11 billion to other countries just on gender crap.

REVEALED: Trudeau spent $11,000,000,000 on overseas gender programs during tenure | Winnipeg Sun

That $11 billion alone would cover all the issues you raised here - defense, healthcare education.

And that's just a fraction of the money he gave away on horseshit, while our own infrastructure and institutions deteriorated.

Smith will get along with PP just fine, pipe lines will be built, getting more oil and gas to market ...more money put into tech to control carbon emission's ...Their is not urgency to control green house gases at least not in the liberal government......Unless it is a global effort, sh!t even justin has said as much....all they do is punish Canadians, harm our productivity and hurt our competitiveness..how do you compete with the US when they have no taxes on carbon or any other climate change initiatives.

I get it investigating a MP background is a long process...but he is the PM and should have some pull at CSIS or RCMP...

Pointing out that Carney and the Liberals will get down on their knees to fellate any member of the Chinese government in return for their help during elections is not blaming China for the current electoral standings. It's acknowledging that the Liberal party is the favourite of our enemies because they will keep Canada weak and divided and obedient to China.

[I am Groot]

 

China continues to use Chinese social media, as well as other Chinese language media to support their comrade Mark Carney and his Liberals.
