It’s either a guy who’s a mix of good and bad, or several others that are basically 90%+ all bad.

The question isn’t why people shouldn’t vote for Carney, but rather is there anybody else worth voting for? Has any of his opponents done anything beneficial for Canada in recent history?

As much as I want to sea traitors like her burn, I do agree on the principal of a clean election. People have been turning against PP precisely because he openly and only fights dirty, purely talking about how bad everybody else is without putting up a single point of good he will do the country if elected.

We need positive forward-facing politicians in power, with anybody more interested in pulling others down be put into the dirt. Winning the election with a purely positive platform without attacking anybody is the best election we can have, even if it doesn’t actually change the system in the short term.

This is nothing new. Charities and related tax write-offs are one of the favoured techniques of the rich to avoid paying their taxes for over a thousand years. The fact that such an obvious and well used loop-hole hasn’t been closed is simply proof that those with the power to close such loop-holes have zero intent in doing so because they are likely personally benefiting from them.

A collective problem that crosses all levels of government and for every side, not an issue of any specific government.

“Offensive and false” when we have a publicly available recording of her doing exactly that on her province’s dime while representing her province in a field she has nothing to do with. Premiers hold zero power outside of their provinces, and anything related to international relations is the responsibility of the federal government, not the provincial one.

She not only overstepped her bounds going to the US, did it on her people’s tax dollars, only to do an act of both treason and election interference on the meantime. This, along with the countless illegal and corrupt activities she’s been inacting within her own province, she should be investigated by the RCMP and CSIS and be crushed under the full weight of the book.

That’s just ridiculous. The pint is a measurement unit in itself. The fact that the bartender didn’t seem to be aware of that fact is a failure of the imperial system in itself, though not really a surprise since the system relies entirely on memorizing arbitrary values that have no connection with other units.

Though admittedly, the US pint is smaller than the British pint, so there is justification of pointing that out.

It’s insane that these guys don’t get fined into oblivion for such blatant lies. This is far different from regular people saying stupid stuff, but instead an organized effort that paid to have such a message heard.

Jeez, I thought my premier was bad (Ford), but to think that she’s not just corrupt and stupid, but openly being hostile to fellow Canadians during this moment of crisis.

Albertans needs to have a hard look at how much money the oil barons are stealing from them and think about whether it’s worth letting someone so selfish to lead them. The fact that the richest province in the country has one of the lowest public spending and lowest wages is something to to really think about.

I wasn’t aware he met anybody between announcing the surcharge and the call with that one American (forgot who it was). But if he did talk to Carney or someone else in the Fed, and that’s the reason why he backed off, then I’ll respect him a bit more. But it’s clear he wants to take full credit for it as part of his useless talks with the US, so he’ll never publicly announce it and Carney’s cabinet gains nothing to do so as well, so he’s lost the opportunity to actually strengthen his position with those that hate him.

I don’t think it’s an issue of his image, but of what he can personally benefit from it. He sees a sinking ship, so he’s distancing himself from PP in the hopes of clinging to the other side in the hopes of getting some kickbacks.

Ford’s far more slimey than you’re giving him credit. It’s obvious when you consider that he widely advertised the 25% energy surcharge, then backed off of it quietly when the US gave him some compliments and offered him a seat to a talk without a single promise, and he went around claiming he “did something” despite nothing coming out of it, all being paid for by taxpayers.

The surcharge would’ve been an easy win that even those of us that hate him would’ve openly cheered him for, only for him to prove that even his spine is made of slime.

We can make a consideration for any plan that has research to back them turning significant profits within five years, as it is doubtful that any such plans will be profitable 20 years down the line.

And of course, those profits will be taxed severely since we know any such plans will be quite disruptive to the environment, and none of these companies will clean up their own messes, so the government will have to do the job. Might as well force them to pay for it ahead of time, and maybe some extra on the side that’ll go to critical public services like transit or healthcare.

Without such guarantees? F-them.

As long as Singh is running, I strongly doubt that the NDP will have any serious number of seats. It’s unfortunate, but people don’t trust that spineless flip-flopper and it’ll be next to impossible to change such a reputation unless if something extraordinary happens.

All you gotta do is watch what PP says. After all, he hasn’t said anything true in years from what I can tell.

Honestly, it doesn’t matter if it’s possible or not. The very fact that key replacement parts of the jet can only be built in the US means that the very moment they chose not to sell those parts to Canada, the F35 is on a strict time limit before becoming the world’s most expensive paperweight.

And that time limit isn’t even very long. Maybe two years of normal use outside of a war, as little as a month or two during a war or any sort of foreign deployment.

We’re kinda locked in for the first few planes, but despite cancellation fees, we need to replace our aging fleet with something from someone that won’t throw a tantrum and erase a key component of our national defense with the swipe of a pen.

This is the sort of thing that should be blasted on every Ontarian news channel. This is the guy that rural Ontarians voted for and said was doing a “good enough job”.

People should know what the person they voted for is doing and how he’s spending their tax money, because this entire trip was also paid for on our dime.

From a spineless coward to a traitor huh?

Not really a surprise, but still quite disappointing. We should be strengthening our stance, not folding like a wet towel. The fact that he’s adding fabric softener and ironing in the meantime is is just plain pathetic.

I mean, if you listen to any of his speeches, he does nothing but blatantly lie constantly. The carbon tax, Carney’s “hidden funds”, his secret hidden tax plan, and countless attacks that are obviously lies if you actually looked into them for even a second. His entire scheme is to outdo the FSB’s disinformation campaigns to the point that it feels like he’s actually a recipient of Russia’s #1 propogandist award.

It’s real unfortunate, but bad actors like this will be dime-a-dozen for most of this year, especially when it comes to using Carney as the subject. And I fear no amount of warnings and corrections will make a serious dent on fixing it.

What should be done instead is flooding the internet with fake pictures of PP that are technically impossible, but so real that people can’t distinguish them as being fake without examination. For example, having him shake hands with Hitler, or bumping shoulders with Bush Jr under the Mission Accomplished banner on the Enterprise.

Force people to become acutely aware that any picture, no matter how perfect and realistic, can be fake. Make them doubt their senses and think that there are so many fake pictures, it’s actually less likely to find real pictures than fake ones on disinformation platforms like X.

China produces 300% of the existing market of EVs as it stands, and the government is trying to further increase production. The manufacturers have been found to dump finished EVs into fields by the hundreds to claim the government benefits.

Their actions are dumping in the literal sense, and is illegal when it comes to international trade, so there is no reason to withdraw such tariffs until they stop overproducing at the minimum.

Not to mention that Chinese EVs spontaneously combust for the most bizarre reasons and have caused countless problems, like the e-bike that spontaneously combusted in Toronto’s subway due to it “not rated for cold weather,” or the container ship that caught fire because of a Chinese EV started a runaway reaction inside of a container, or the countless videos of Chinese EVs catching fire while parked in China itself.

It’s insane that major political figures are allowed to blatantly and knowingly lie without any repercussions.

Especially with modern technology, politicians should be corrected in real time whenever they regurgitate BS.

Frankly, I’m fine that he’s thinking this way. Things are too far gone and everybody has lost trust in the US at this point. Whether that was his intention from the beginning or if it’s the idea he got after realizing that the backlash to his antics were magnitudes greater than what he expected no longer matters.

It will be years, if not decades, of hard work and consistancy before any major country trusts the US again for anything more than high-fructose corn syrup.

Trump can try to “put them back together” however he wants, but he’ll be doing that without the rest of the world.
