2025 Canadian Political Thread

If anyone gives a shit, my take on the election:
Good to see petulant Pierre losing his seat. No doubt the Tories will have some safe seat come up for a by election ... IF ... they still want him as their poobah. But I for one would never want him leading - he is just too sleazy. Jagmeet? well nice guy, enthusiastic but his party's policies are not in line with what is needed. Doubtful, the NDP will ever get back to what they were with Jack Layton. The Bloc guy is almost as repulsive to me as PP, and did anyone ever see the People's Party? I think 2025 has also shown that the Greens are going to have wait until all the big boys have played their hands to try to get things back on track.
As far as Carney goes, just for the love of god, do not fuck this up, do not become another player in the long history of Liberal scandals and horseshit.
In the immortal words of Vito Corleone : "Use all your skill and all your power"

Sorry to ask but ....
Would it be possible that a little bit of anger transpires through your comment?
In my mind Pierrot had only to distance himself from the far right of the party , make buddy buddy with 1 or 2 policies acceptable in Québec, tone down the rhetoric, be vocal from the get go against trump and tell Smith to shut up and stay put . I know its against his nature but you gotta flex and compromise in politics. Keep in mind that he doesn't have the best reputation back east and the voting in Carleton reflect that .
Better luck next time for him . Hopefully he will learn from the experience and so does the party to avoid scaring people and make them drop their normal voting pattern to flock to the Liberals. Strategic voting caught him and the party off guard .
Carney has 169 seats. 3 short of a majority. But if libs can work with the ndp again then that’s a great government. Better than a liberal majority. And thank goodness he squeaked to 169. That makes it easy to work with the ndp and not the bloc 💕. Today is a stress free day at the dog park 💕
Ps, @overdone, I have conservative clients that voted for carney 💕

Working with the Libs is really the only way the NDP will have any input.
They got a lot of their goals -pharmacy and dental plans especially- using their leverage. In return the Libs stayed in government.
Carney will remember Lyndon Johnson saying “I’d rather have my enemies inside my tent pissing out than outside pissing in”.
It’s a shit government. The last 4 years proved that.
I don’t normally find any glee in the downfall of others. Couldn’t resist indulging tho in Jagmeet’s crushing defeat a little bit.
I had a girfriend once like the federal NDP. Hand always out for cash you earn and they don’t, hold you hostage for their “special interests” and expect you to pony up for all their buddies. Oh ya, and could use a good shave now and again too. (That’s an LOL).
Destroyed the party. Worst decline ev-r. G’bye you fucking parasite.

Agreed. But Poilievre was no choice at all. Came across as a complete little turd.
The problem with the Liberals is that they will continue the party line of Carbon credits. In this, they will continue to hassle companies that produce carbon and still have a carbon tax on oil and gas. The problem is that the fed gov needs sources of revenue. Pretty much Canadians pay way too much taxes (income tax, prov sales tax, and capital gains, carbon tax).
Again I am on my first drink of the day.
Canada is a resource country. We need to become a manufacturing, computer literate, services country. The biggest problem is our country is big (it has a infrastructure problem- need many infrastructure to keep up same services in each region of Canada). It snows in the winter. Current theories for resources is not to have too much on hand (on the shelf due to heating costs), so such things are a on demand item. Which takes weeks to get.
1. Canada needs to be more self efficient for food in the winter, therefore we need greenhouses that can grow produce in the winter time.
2. Need to manufacture our own things like cars, trucks, solar panel, wind turbines, Hydrogen generation (future of energy- non polluting).
3. Energy efficiency in Canada, we produce enough, but not enough for electric cars and trucks.
4. Resource management- Canada needs to collar a % of mined mineral (everything) into a reserve of the mineral, oil, or in a monetary fund for future generations. This gives Canada a future for the young ones.
5. Major problem is climate change. It might not rain in northern BC (example), so how would you get water to it. Have to prepare for problems like this.
Some reason the Liberals won despite the conservative approach (take away carbon tax, bring back plastic straws and bags).
1. They looked at the demographics for each riding. They targeted those ridings.
2. They concentrated on Canadians being Canadians (their pride in their country), against foreign interference (Trump).
3. The demographics of baby-boomers, gen Z, etc all were different. Go back to demographics...
4. Promise for better military equipment/people/resources for military.
What Carney will do is follow some of the Conservative points (pulling the rug from under their feet). Increase manufacturing for military supplies etc. Supply more money for training doctors and nurses.
Carney will have to bring in nuclear energy.
Bring in east-west oil pipelines. Natural gas and oil.
Build 1-3 refineries for crude oil.
Make a 1-4 plastic plants for plastics. Because I want cheaper Acrylic, polycarbonate, Lexan etc.
Bring in a massive plastic recycling system.
Tranportation system upgrades. Road, River and Canals, Trains. Going Indrustrial BABY!!!!!
Maintain enviromental standards As much as Possilbe.
Exploration of Rare Earth minerals etc,
Produce more steel.
More research into cement (like Roman cement that heals its self)
I think one thing Carny is going to do is go a building spree for homes.
Gonna have to go for highrises. But the apartments should be double level 3-4 bedroom apartment of 1600 sq ft or greater. To leave room for expansion. 5% profit rate for contractors. These will be family sized apartments with room for a 4 -6 person family.
One thing affecting the elderly will be nursing homes. If you have a generational family in one of the above apartments, you could have a clinic room for the residences with a nurse/doctor doing house-calls to the highrise.
Believe it or not we will need more nurses, doctors and health care professionals with the aging baby boomers.
I think that most NDP voters decided to make their votes count with either a Lib or Con vote, then waste it on NDP, unless it was in a strong NDP riding. Again depending on their demographic.
The thing about the PQ vote for the last 40 years was it killed the 2 party system in Fed government. Where Lib or Con won both Quebec and Ontario, and the rest of Canada had no say. A depressed region like the maritines (pei, ns, nb, nfld) usually voted on the social side Lib or NDP; places that usually have fed money from the equalization payments (to keep populations stable in areas).
Opening up oil exploration on the Queen Charlottes and far north in the Arctic will create jobs and wealth for those provinces.
As for PP, he should retire and let a new PC candidate be the leader.
Look its gonna take alot for parliment to change how our economy works.
The future so bright.....
And singh got his 2 million dollar pension...... hogwash, Turd played politics and won for 4 years until the economy and inflation hit home.
The thing is are Canadian better with the dental plans and pharmacy plans?? I think they are...
better off?
with what?
most Canadians already get dental/drugs, thru work
what he got was played, the drug plan, includes birthcontrol, some Diabetes
both of which are being done with debt, both federally/provincially, cause neither has the money to pay for them outright
how soon they forget
the Turd tried to TAX, YES TAX THOSE PRE-TAX PAID BENEFIT PLANS THRU WORK
ALONG WITH THE POOR BASTARDS AT MCD'S WHO GET A FREE LUNCH
now someone who can think
would have said, here's an idea, let's let anyone who doesn't have a work plan, get a 100% tax deduction
NOT A FUCKING TAX CREDIT, BUT A FULL DEDUCTION, TO BUY IT PRIVATELY
then
the few who actually need help paying for it, not the whole country
or do you think people who make 90,000 really need welfare?
how about those who make 50,000?
they wouldn't if they weren't being fucked in the ass daily by gov't for taxes
give those few free dental
and the dental care that they got, from the Turd
isn't worth shit, go look, it barely covers cleanings, let alone real dental care that's needed
welfare for all
that's what Jimmy got
that makes all of us worse off, even the poorest
and Carney's plan is to continue the same
having the gov't
be you mommy
I'm starting a GoFundMe. Overdone needs to get laid.
B.C. business groups are calling on the new federal government to cut red tape, boost innovation and diversify trade as tariff pressures mount. Their wish list for the new federal government includes mandates for Canadian-made materials in capital projects, expanded tax credits and harmonized rules across provinces.
...while provincial leaders are “having some pretty intense discussions, we haven’t seen any specific results,” ...
...sector must also stickhandle high industrial land costs...
...small- and medium-sized enterprises need to have tax incentives that match those of multinational corporations.

A meme of unrestricted inter-provincial trade been going on decades. So far looks like nothing but talk.
