As a streamer I’ve been enjoying has been saying a lot recently, “don’t give someone a power you don’t want your enemies to use on you”.

While the specifics are different, I think this was also tried by Harper, only to be shot down in the courts for being unconstitutional.

So PP’s trying to copy his senior’s old homework, forgetting that assignment got a failing grade.

Seriously, why are news outlets even allowed to push political ads during an election? This should count against the party’s donations, not be considered “volunteering”.

The US and the Canadian economy. The gas prices going down over here is because our own industries are starving, so they’re using less gas (especially trucks and delivery vehicles). Businesses use less gas? Gas becomes cheaper.

Carney has nothing to do with it, but it’s funny people credit him for it. And if it helps prevent PP from getting voted in, the better.

Foreign Aid is the single cheapest and easiest way to make overseas allies, and it’s by a massive margin. People might say “who cares about having a country like Congo back you up” but the forget that for the cost of a single overseas military deployment every few decades, we can step up onto any issue and say “we’ve got this list of fifty country that say they’ve got our backs on this world issue”.

It’s some of the best money we spend, and it amounts to almost nothing compared to the national budget. Basically a rounding error.

But it seems like some people are so determined to cut every single form of government spending that he doesn’t realize that doing so will turn Canada from a top tier and well respected country into a poorly regarded third world country.

No wonder since he’s playing off of Trump’s playbook.

“Latest in a slew of || by the Liberals and Conservatives”? I’m pretty sure the Liberals only got rid of one guy in total for a single bad remark, while this is now what, the fifth guy in only like three days? And for years if not decades of saying terrible things?

Hear hear!

Personally, all my life I’ve felt like the Liberals have just been the lesser of two evils. One party that simply wants to enrich themselves and their buddies, and another that will enrich those at the top and hope that anything they don’t catch will trickle down, despite that those at the top have long since learned to sieve with ceramic nano-filters.

The NDP’s been the only party that had any momentum that would even entertain ideas that were actually left of center, but frankly Singh’s flip flopped all over the place like a beached catfish. He lacks ideals he can build a spine around and instead prioritizes trying to steal votes from those further right than him.

We need a party that actually has strong convictions and are willing to take chances on them, speak of ideals for a better Canada and build plans around them rather than try to sneak some votes away from other parties like some jealous catfish.

This is why I keep voting Liberals. Not only because first-past-the-post means that votes to third parties tend to be wasted votes, but because the NDP just keeps failing to hold any sort of conviction beyond being an opportunist. Especially the last decade.

An “insignificant lead” huh? Not exactly the sort of words I would use considering that the Liberals went from “zero chance of winning” to “barely the most likely to win”. Frankly, just getting to this point is a massive upset to the degree that PP should resign on the spot just so the Cons have any sort of chance of not being the #1 cause for a new majority Liberal government.

While anything is possible and this can change on a dime, frankly speaking Carney is basically the only leader right now that has both integrity and vision. None of his competitors have either and it is well known that they don’t. How can anybody vote for someone who has no idea what they want for the future of Canada aside from just being it’s leader?
