PP new Conservative leader

Chuck is the ultimate gatekeeper, keeping the country from tapping its true potential, regulating it to death.

I definitely acknowledge we could do ever better on investing for the future.
I believe a start would be to stop giving to those who just take. No future there.
How many ways are there to say "f off"?

The provinces have powers they can take control of from the feds but choose not to for cost and convenience. Think Chuck being Chuck jumps down our throats calling separatist when we mention taking these powers back. It’s pure conditioned response. Dog whistles go both ways. Can understand weaker provinces do not have the means to do this but for us out here I feel it is imperative we do it to maintain what we have. It’s not about getting in pissing matches with the feds but it is about we are able to take care of ourselves and not have a completely different culture controlling us. Just as Quebec is insulated through their arrangement with Ottawa our western provinces are a different world from central Canada and must be protected. Doesn’t mean we are separatists any more than we roll over and let the feds do whatever they want to us.

Good article in the National Post by Tristen Hopper:”FIRST READING:Poilievre didn’t just win the leadership, he really, really(really) won”

“Against a personality”? Trudeau and his woke moronic policies is more than a personality! It was his lineage that got him the job, let’s be realistic!

So the present Liberal government was voted in by just under 20% of eligible voters, you think that is what Canadians want?

Hamloc:
Actually 62.3% of eligible voters voted and 32.62% of the votes were for Liberals = 20.3%
62.3% of eligible voters cast 33.74% for Conservatives = 21.0% (not significantly different!)
Really, is Conservatives what Canadians really want either?

Very well written post 👍👍

Gosh elections aren’t determined on popular support. The naive assumptions of this here a funny. I’m directing this at lefties and righties alike. It is who riles up enough to go vote for them at election time. That is why political science is a fickle one like economics. Makes for great conversations and humbling moments afterwards.

Cant wait for the attack ads on PP. An orphaned child raised by a same sex couple in lower income calgary rises to become an MP now married to a latina wife who escaped communism in Venezuela. For sure white supremecist there.

Makes Trudeau look like the silver spooned loser he always was.

So PP doesn't have to swing any of the voters who are happy with Mr Trudeau.
He just needs to get more of the 80% that didn't vote for JT.
But the way our system is set up how many more does he have to get to win?

Pierre Poilievre's pragmatic protocol punishes pompous platitudes, preposterous perks, pretentious privilege and poisonous propaganda.

[sumdumguy]

Harper was a federalist plant too and you probably voted for him? LOL

Do you think a Prime Minister Poilievre will encourage the provinces of perennial discontent to separate and break up the country?

Did he run on breaking up the country?

What are you guys smokin over their in the land of milk and money?

Canada, the most dysfunctional country - a country where one region detests the other region enough to destroy the country by destroying its sustinence. Hmmm

[sumdumguy]

Only push button once, sorry.
