Election results! I’m not happy but WTF.

Yes I share your pain....all I want is good roads, schools, health care, rule of law and a fair playing field to do business in Canada and fairly around the World. Why we have to go through a season of idealistic bleeding heart liberals that have never met a payroll, never created a job, never made something from nothing, have little or no business sense. It is absolutely pathetic that we have a clueless, flake of a leader who can’t even give respect to one of our largest trading partners (China) and goes home with nothing and seems to have no embarrassment. Well the solution is keep going, over and around or through theses idiots. Create and thrive outside the box and let the masses feel the pain and come to their senses...eventually these idiot so called leaders will be surrounded and defeated and pass into time. Cream rises to the top and right now we are dealing with the slop pail of leadership.

Don't care for him too much either but it seems something got done anyway

Justin Trudeau's Liberals scored another byelection upset Monday, snatching the British Columbia riding of South Surrey-White Rock away from the Conservatives.
Gordie Hogg won the riding with 47.5 per cent of the vote, just five percentage points ahead of Conservative Kerry-Lynne Findlay, a former Harper-era cabinet minister who represented a neighbouring riding for one term before being defeated in 2015. The New Democrat took less than five per cent of the vote.
It's the first time in 70 years that a Liberal has represented any portion of the riding, the boundaries of which have changed a number of times.Hogg's squeaker victory marks the second upset win for the governing Liberals in as many months. They stole a riding in Quebec's nationalist heartland away from the Tories in a byelection in October.
For Andrew Scheer, the outcome marks the second byelection loss since he became Conservative leader in May.
There was some consolation for Scheer in three other federal byelections Monday, in which the Liberals retained safe seats in Newfoundland and Labrador and Toronto, while the Conservatives held onto one of their own safe seats in Saskatchewan. In all three of those ridings, the Tory share of the vote increased by anywhere from two to 13 points over 2015, while the Liberal share declined.
There was no consolation for newly-minted NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh. His party's share of the vote declined in all four ridings.

Ok we increased our vote share and the NDP and Libs dropped. The women in Ontarios husband died and she got in his vacant seat.
So Im still thinking maybe a chance but people aren't waking up that only Saskatchewan thinks JT is a Idiot.

Were usually ahead of the curve out here and can read through all the fluff and make a decision.

Hopefully ontario and Bc will wake up.

Yesterday John Barlow asked a question about the import duty India has put in place and how it's affecting farmers here to the tune of 360 million already.....the response was like listening to a guy waking up from a sleep from lawrence macauley ....

It's ****ing embarrassing the responses these guys give.....

And to be clear ....once a duty is in place ....it's a government responsibility.....not graincos or grower groups or checkoff funds....the government has to take the lead to solving this....


They haven't. ..

And so we wonder why polls show liberals ahead nationally??

The polls are correct what we should be wondering is why people think the way they do???

What exactly did he get done- a trade deal that was likely underway before he went and is worth a couple month's electricity bill payments per year to meat producers?

We could have sent a fence post to China and accomplished that much.

Sending Trudeau to negotiations with China (or anyone, anywhere) is like sending a hairdresser to do brain surgery - they both work on heads, you know?

And that buffoonish "minister responsible for weather", climate barbie, is as helpful as dragging anchor in a regatta...

Having that kind of people in government speaks sad volumes of those who elect them. That the Liberals got any seats is a profound shame on our society.

Big wheel the answer to your question lies in Greece.

Sing Dance Drink Eat and Party, work 6 months and pile on the debt. Holliday the next 6 months and eat drink and dance and party. Finally the wheels fell off and guess what they were broke as broke.

Canada in 15 years.

Canuckistan is a socialist country and will be until the day it dies. Unfortunately its death will be like Venezuela not Greece. Greece has not died yet due to one reason: it does not print it own currency. Canuckistan prints the loon, and that is why Venezuela is the end game. To those under 35: start researching US immigration because you will be holding the bag when the ship sinks.

It's pretty plain to see that voters weren't impressed with Smiling Harper 2.0 (Scheer) . They see that he is so much like Closet Boy that they punished Findlay one of Harper's ex-MP in a B.C. Conservative strong hold.

If the Conservatives can't win their strong holds, they are in BIG trouble. There has to be a reason for that, and it's obviously Scheer and the after taste of Harper


So you guy's can bash Trudeau all you want and ridicule anybody for voting for Trudeau but the bottom line is Scheer is not a better alternative and a big dud.

Right, definitely was soft from what I’ve seen/heard. I agree with the progressive approach in a lot of areas but not trade, and not with China. Hopefully he is able to adjust.
