Justin is supposedly a Feminist ? But, He certainly put the run on Jody Wilson-Raybould, when She wouldn't compromise her own Ethics ! 🙄

What irks Me most about this Election, is the projected $610 Million cost ! Canadians just spent over $500 million on the last Federal Election October 21, 2019, less than two years ago . The Liberal's minority Government wasn't defeated by a Non-Confidence Vote . Trudeau says He wants to work with all Canadians for a better Canada ? 🇨🇦 Well, that's what You have to do with a Minority Government . 😉
Trudeau had been spending Money like a drunken Sailor !
Eventually, We the Taxpayers are going to wake up, to the painful Hangover ! 🤯😳🥺

yeah, but where do people constantly get this "fiscal conservative" thing from? the Conservative Party? because the "say so"? history simply doesn't provide evidence of "fiscal conservatism" from them. in fact, the first thing on most "conservative" agendas is to attack progressive tax law, give big tax breaks to the richest and then try and reign in spending to pay for it. and any "reigning in" is usually at the cost of the majority and never anything like cutting back on corporate welfare.
This must be the election thread, here’s Trudeau’s Surrey welcome, I find it hilarious
hilarious! anti vaxers are insane!
They are crazy fuckers that’s for sure, I always remember Justin’s Dad giving the finger to the Protesters so this year it’s his turn!😂
This whimpy Trudeau doesn’t have the guts or balls to follow in his dad’s foot steps…..
It's true.
These supposed business experts always manage to run the government's finances right into the ground. Their main core value seems to be to destroy social services so we'll be even more at the mercy of big businesses that swindle us (all run by their country club buddies of course). Their actual fiscal record when they have power is terrible. More to the point, what they seem to spend money on is basically just to pamper their own kind.
Also the "law and order" rep is an even worse joke. A party which thinks greed is a virtue is never actually going fight crime or protect people. If they punish anyone, it's only to protect the elite and maintain the lie that they are moral god-fearing folk. (Shit, they should fear god, because for the likes of them, the afterlife elevator only goes down.)
They only win when years pass without them in power, people get bored with the mediocre others, and forget their true nature. This is why they always oppose electoral reform - they know most people can't stand them, but also they are far too greedy to share power. Their only path to power is to lure just enough suckers into thinking they've changed and making a mistake on election day.
And when it comes to foreign and defense policy, the bottom line is they would let Washington take command completely. They might want to equip Canada's military more, but it's never for Canada's national interests that it will be used. They're weak men pretending to be strong, "patriots" fighting for for the wrong country.
Canada's ancestral true Tories would be sickened by them - not by the upper-classism, but rather by the total betrayal of ethics, traditions, and common sense.
It irks me too. Things were actually getting [slowly] done by the minority parliament. No legislation was in danger of actually failing; there was no budget that was rejected and brought the government down.
Basically, they wanted an election so they wouldn't need to consider the opposition's opinions at all - especially not on those embarassing commitee hearings. Ahh, the temptation of undeserved absolute power that First Past The Post voting provides.
Honestly, the new Governor General should have just rejected Trudeau's request for an election. It would have been unprecedented, but then again, so is this pandemic.
I would not hate another Trudeau win like I would hate a Conservative win, but I think it would serve him right if he was handed another minority government by the voters.
The way it may turn out, Justin Trudeau may end up remembered for being more like how Paul Martin was as PM, not like Chretien or his old man.
Vaccine passports. Perspective:
1. Hebrews wearing the "yellow star" in Hilter's Germany;
2. 1984 by George Orwell, hints of facebook and google maps, any app that traces you (location, what you do, what you buy, what you search for), cause big brother is always watching;
3. Canadian law forbidding any company from exploiting's genetic heritage of individuals (eg gene for cystic fibrosis) for refusal of health care etc. (not really sure what this law is called and its limits).

Hmm...
1. Vaccine passports are not equivalent to the yellow star. That is exaggeration. I remember having yellow fever certificates to travel, etc. Equating vaccine passports to Nazi tactics is delusional.
2. Sure the system is watching us. It is primarily the corporations who never went their freedom to exploit reined in. Most of us are at fault for poor control of apps that allow tracking of us, etc. Government does less to track us than Facebook, Amazon, Telus, etc.....
3. Yah, the law is there and it is appropriate but this is not a genetic condition (I know because I have one), it is a communicable disease! A disease which can be promoted by good health practices.
JWR has no ethics. She violated cabinet privacy.
She fucked up her portfolio and got fired, happens to cabinet ministers all the time.
The myth about her martyrdom is total bullshit.
Oldshark, you beat me to it but I agree with you. 80watts, you need to work on your perspective and those comparisons seem misguided.
If you ever met her, you would realize she had her own agenda. Never could stand that woman. All the people who cry for her don't realize what she is. So I agree.
And the Libs got away with the SNL Lavalin scandal ... as per usual.
The whole thing brought up the issue that the AG should never be a political player appointed by other political players.

My experience is that all of the parties have had serious scandals or have done dubious things. It unfortunately is the nature of most of the people who get into politics. But really if you want to see true corruption and scandals in this country, the best place to dig into is the municipalities.
