    Clearly you missed the memo - Freeland is the one that wanted to "F*ck Trudeau." And she did!

    Excuse me??? You bring that up, constantly - it clearly bothers you. What I brought up -was your mental gymnastics/hyperbole/redefining of words - equating a gov't salary to "the dole". Congrats - you've demonstrated your spectacular ability to completely miss the point! LOL

    To equate a gov't salary to "the dole" is farcical - even for you! LOL "The dole" is welfare (i.e. EI). To equate a gov't salary to "the dole" is like saying a public school teacher who has been teaching for 30 years is "on the dole". Or nurses that work at a regional health authority are "on...

    Again, funny how even the die-hard Lib zealots are starting to see exactly where the current PM (and by extension, this iteration of the Federal Libs) is in the eyes of Canadians! LOL

    The CPC is literally leading in every region not named Quebec. https://338canada.com/polls-on.htm https://338canada.com/polls-atl.htm Poilievre has a net negative favourability rating - unfortunately, every other federal party leader has an even (much) larger net negative favourability...

    Do you truly believe if Canadians, today, had the choice of Harper as PM vs J. Trudeau that average Canadians from coast to coast to coast would choose JT? I'm no pollster - and no polling firm I know of Canada has been paid to run that particular poll. But, if I were a betting man, I would...

    You keep on harping (pun intended) on Harper (and his former caucus members Kenney and Poilievre). No offense mate, you're the type of delusional lib-supporter that still refuses to see the writing on the wall. Harper is NOT the ballot question, today or tomorrow (i.e. whenever the next...

    Absolutely false! LOL The only pipeline approved in Harper's time was Northern Gateway. The initial TMX expansion application was submitted to federal regulators in late 2013. In the summer of 2015, as part of the application process, the NEB postponed public consultations on the proposal...

    This is patently false. Kinder Morgan basically got fed up with all the lawsuits (some of which didn't even involve Kinder Morgan, like BC and Alberta basically suing each other) which created additional uncertainty about that commercial project. And KM basically made a demand of the feds -...

    I think you're purposefully being obtuse and/or otherwise having revisionist history about the TMX twinning project. I don't recall any politician "back in the day" (i.e. 2012/13'ish time frame when the the twinning of TMX was first proposed) that the taxpayers should be footing the bill for it...

    LOL! The market forcing a consumer into a (potentially) non-voluntary consumption choice due to govt regulation is in fact, the govt forcing it's will onto consumers/the market. Govt need not push markets (i.e. consumers) towards the "better mouse trap" - because the better mouse trap usually...

    I never claimed the CPC are going to get rid of those things. The polling of soft CPC supporters indicate that a good portion of that soft support believes the CPC will get rid of some of those things and/or are willing to accept losing those things, simply to get rid of the current PM.

    You sit there and lament the message/messenger on the right. You fail to see that the bigger issue (which you should be truly lamenting, since you seem to be anit-conservative) is that the messenger on the other side (i.e. JT) cannot deliver their message (i.e. support for the carbon tax, why...

    No, I'm not repeating what you are saying. The price is not derived from value in the case of the latte. I would imagine the price is derived from their costs (which have a price) and some rational return they require (which also is a price). That a transaction occurs means that the I have...

    And transactions only occur if there is some alignment in value. If I value that latte at $6, no trade can occur because the buyer and seller have a disjointed perception of that latte's value. Ergo, the price is the price. In other words, exchange only occurs on agreement on PRICE. Mate...

    You're arguing a point I never made. I stated, tax cuts or new expenditures should be funded, and NOT with debt. Meaning, if you cut taxes, you should fund that via expenditure cuts. And if you want to spend more (i.e. new spending) that should also be funded, either via cutting spending...
