A suggested to a friend that the next Conservative Prime Minister could be Doug Ford. Seerms far fetched for sure but If Pewee can't deliver, he'll be gonzo. Southern Ontario sets the table.

I can appreciate that. 👍

Although good grammar is something literate pooners should strive for at all times, I have no interest in punctuation police that fail to address the purpose of one’s statement.

Remember good old J. Smit, who couldn’t even spell his name right, but put out a few raw authentic posts that became conversation starters.

I have sins, and therefore cast my stones quote selectively.

It's going to be a rout. There is no way the Conservatives can fix this.
They are stuck with a childish, imbecilic leader who has little education and even less real world work experience.
He has no idea how economies work. He has no idea how business works. All he has is his dumb-shit slogans.

Carney is probably the most qualified PM ever. He doesn't just know what he's doing. He looks like he knows what he's doing.
He has tons of gravitas, while Poilievre has none.

It's going to be a rout, and Poili-is-over.

I’ve watched so many interviews of carney now and actually really like him. I’m hopeful he’ll be great for Canada.

carney so far has done everything legally. He can be a bit snarky tho.

Trump has outright lied and broken the law a zillion times. When I said they were from the same world, I just meant the rich world. But carney is a thousand times smarter than Trump and will be great for the economy and for Canada as a whole.

we’ll see tho. Who actually knows? This is all a wait and see

I do agree, the people will turn on Trump
Has he? While he says he is cancelling the carbon tax he has no authority to do it on his own like he is trying to take credit for by doing a meaningless Trump style signing. Government in Canada does not act by decree. The carbon tax is not cancelled. Carney has the authority to change the amount of the tax but for it to be cancelled the actual GGPPA act which put it into motion has to be repealed by Parliament otherwise once you elect him he can just readjust the price again. Also if they redirect it as he has proposed it will probably just amount to the same tax in a different form under a different name. Consumers will still be paying the price. Carney is being sneaky here.

Other countries have some form of carbon tax but only Canada and France appear to be milking the taxpayer cow at an extreme level.

Another Fighter purchase plan being looked at.....to see if it meets some criteria. Save those big tax dollars and make Canada defenseless. The thing about government contracts is you need 3 bids or sources. You can go for 1 source as long as there is no other product that has the parameters you are looking for.

Your are not going to find another plane that is as stealthy as a F35 (F-22 USA won't sell to other countries).

Although that swedish plane is supposed to be better to do maintenance on.

There is a reason why defence items get cancelled so much. Each federal party keeps cancelling the contracts that the other government made. Not only is this a waste of the idiots time, but also taxpayer money to cancel the deal, and you end up with nothing for the taxpayers.

once again, touting the CBC, Star, parroting the Liberal talking points

here are some from Carney's 2nd last employer's, the UK


https://nationalpost.com/opinion/britains-stern-warnings-about-mark-carney


go to the little French weasel's statement/quote, Chretien's mentee, who went to China to get a couple of mortgages, part of the Liberals, you think know about

economies, you know like ours, that they ran into the ground in 9 short years, 5 of which

CARNEY WAS AN ADVISOR, ECONOMIC ADVISOR TO THE TURD


https://nationalpost.com/opinion/ja...ada-a-superpower-after-years-of-preventing-it


CARNEY IS AN ECONOMIST, AN THEORY GUY

THEN HE BECAME A WALL STREET BANKER/INVESTMENT BANKER, THEN HE WAS A BUREAUCRAT IN CANADA, THEN ENGLAND

HE'S NEVER RAN A GOV'T, HE NEVER RAN A BUSINESS, HE'S NO MORE QUALIFIED TO RUN A GOV'T THAN THE TURD WAS


HIS CLAIM TO FAME IS MAKING MONEY, ONLY MAKING MONEY FOR HIS INVESTMENT COMPANY

GO LOOK AT HOW THEY OPERATE, WALL STREET, IT'S ALL ABOUT THE BOTTOM LINE


THE SAME TYPES WHO JUST RAN A 600 YR OLD COMPANY INTO THE GROUND, THE BAY

CAUSE THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT ANYTHING BUT HOW MUCH THEY CAN SUCK OUT OF PEOPLE

YOUR DELUSIONS ARE NOTED

YOUR DERANGEMENT TOWARDS CONS IS NOTED

BUT QUIT WITH THE LIES ABOUT WHO CARNEY IS

HE'S JUST ANOTHER LIBERAL POS

LIKE THE TURD, LIES IN FRENCH AFTER SAYING THE EXACT OPPOSITE IN ENGLISH



DO YOU REALLY THINK HE'S COMPLETELY CHANGED 180 DEGREES IN 3 MONTHS?

CAUSE HE'S BASICALLY SAYING THE EXACT OPPOSITE ON PRETTY MUCH EVER SUBJECT FROM THE LAST 5 YEARS



IF YOU DO, THEN YOU LIKE OUR SECOND COMING OF TRUMP

A LYING SACK OF SHIT WHO WILL SAY ANYTHING TO GAIN POWER

The cabinet issued a regulatory order reducing it to zero and taking whatever wind Poilievre had left in his sails.

I'd say it was a great success.

yes, a successful ad for his cult members

now go look at the actual facts, he's going to put the tax on industrial which will just take up the slack

then he's said he's going to tax incoming products from countries with no Green Dream like his

which is pretty much most of the world

just like the last 9 years, success to you and your like is an announcement

with no real substance, no real change, just more economic ruin

that's what the Turd did for 9 years, over and over, nothing got done, but debt

success, status quo, says something but really doesn't produce

cripple the oil/gas industry, our largest export with a cap, basically same old same old

so poor, we're going to be poor for 4 more years if he wins a majority, even a minority, cause the Bloc will be bribed, what's left of the NDP after they dump Jimmy

I am struggling with the whole Carney thing. Guy sounds entitled, beligerent, and a bad communicator. Not the elixir I need to get over all the Liberal BS that’s gone down.

Lists of Liberal scandals popping up all over the place. Carney gruff with reporters about his conflict questions. Not a good start. Wish PP had more street cred.

Did you read what I said? It is not cancelled, only Parliament has the ability to cancel it. Yes he reduced it to zero. After the campaign if he is elected he can change the amount to anything he wants without having to go through parliament. The carbon tax has been redacted but not cancelled. The act creating it is still on the books. He has not said he will cancel the Act itself. its sleight of hand. One way or another ...direct or indirectly...we will pay.

How can people take your opinion seriously IF IT"S NOT ALL CAPS?

you think I care if you take me seriously? hahaha


you're on a pooner board, full of mainly people from BC

where they allow their Gov't to tax them in the ass for used vehicles

if Canada was full of serious people

we wouldn't be in the mess we're in

I don't care, if my punctuation is your main concern

you pretty much answered your own question

I don't expect anyone to

just like all those in the U.S thread who think Americans are morons when it comes to politics

you can say the same thing about Canadians

we're not a serious country anymore

if we were, the Turd would have been punted after the first term

and Carney wouldn't be seen as a saviour

a fucking broomstick would be a improvement over the Turd, pathetic part is

all of the Turd's enablers are still there, so Carney is just another figurehead, who's done a complete 180, given up everything he said in

the last 5 years, since leaving the UK to do this

https://nationalpost.com/opinion/terry-newman-carney-poilievre-election-launch

maybe you should take his advice to the fat chick from CBC who wanted to suck the Turd's cock, if my caps bother you so much, lol

An exasperated Carney told Barton to “look inside yourself, Rosemary” and accused her of coming from a “prior (assumption) of conflict and ill will.”

when she asked him a perfectly legit question

then his/the Turd's cult members turned on her, much like the GOP turned on the woman supreme court Judge when she didn't bend the knee

lol, that's what our country is taking as serious

40% supposedly
