Both articles verge on nonsense.
And Rolls Royce the automaker (owned by BMW) and Rolls Royce the aerospace company are two separate unrelated companies.

you won't have to
you can pick any state, even the hillbilly ones where the inbreeding is high
cause you'd still have a better chance of getting ahead economically
if we elect the new lying sack of shit
who won't debate oh wait he said earlier in the day he would, no, non!!
if Maga Maple did that, you and the deluded like you, would be shitting themselves, like the Dems do when the orange menace speaks
instead of facing reality, facts, that the Liberals are the problem, have been for a decade, like they're going to suddenly be the exact opposite, like the Dems
Carney has already, in a short couple of weeks
lied so many times, he's giving Trump a run for it, but Pierre is our Trump, any con is
yeah, don't vote for someone else, keep the status quo
debt, stagnation, cowering to the U.S. dipshit whoever it is
cause the Liberals really stood up to Biden right?
when he put in buy American first
Carney tried to call Trump, they ignored him
so pick any of the 50, even the blue states, you'd still have a better shot at becoming better off financially
instead of stagnation for another 4 years, plus the last decade that was the equivalent of standing still and not moving ahead an inch
but the cons are traitors, guess facts don't matter to you, reality
2 million food bank a month users
homeless
drug addicts
crime, repeat offenders, bail
could go on, but why, Pierre is a traitor, lol
while the Liberals give away Billions

that's just the tip
yeah, let's keep the crooks who we lost a decade of our lives too
he is absolutely debating. He said no to the one debate that costs 75,000$ and isn’t a necessity to debate on. But he will be debating all of the leaders as required.
I agree that the last 10 years have become completely unaffordable for most people. I think ndp is the best solution but it would be a wasted vote. Plus I’m not sure Singh can deal with Trump effectively. I think the conservatives are the worst for anybody below the poverty line and for our health system. Pierre is a very negative man. I don’t think he can unite anybody. I think the liberals under carney is our best bet out of the options we have. But we’ll see. We won’t actually know until whoever’s in, is in lol.
Your only problem is Sing cant deal with Trump? I am amazed at how little Canadians know about geopolitics and what qualities a PM should possess. This guy openly supports breaking India and carving out a separate nation. He is know to support and attend rallies were terrorists responsible for Air india bombings are eulogized. This tells you how much he cares about Canada. Pissing off worlds largest democracy and its allies is the geopolitical blunder that Justin and Sing committed just to stay in power.
I think Carney’s calm, quiet and informed responses would unnerve #47. He would be shown to be a fool if he defended these crazy tariffs with a guy who has run central banks in England and Canada.
Not responding now is the right thing to do as long as #47 calls us 51st state and our PM ‘Governor’. Got to give respect in order to receive it.

Nope just two old guys reminiscing about the past. Need to update it about the future. Get the young peoples vote. You need well paying jobs and lots of infrastructure projects, where people can learn on the job because they are willing.
What the problem is that a person from high school can't go out and make 30-40/hr on unskilled labour pushing a broom at a factory. This used to be Canada's past. It probably is not in its future. Canada dosen't manufacture every thing it needs.
Also base price on anything imported for basic materials (finished lumber, metals, plastic, epoxy etc) are either doubled or triple in price in Canada. Alot of middlemen or specific products only go through certain distributers. Again this is where patents come into play.
At the oil sands we have some of the heaviest hydrocarbons that can be used to make plastics. But we don't make plastics in Canada, not for basic material things to build stuff. Here I am talking about going into a hardwood store and getting material to build shit for around the house. (this includes home depot, lowes, cdn tire).
Canada needs to produce its own raw iron ore and steel in big quantities, as to make it more affordable. Steel and iron ore don't need to be heated in the winter, just keep out the snow and rain. Steel is needed to make highrises for the big cities....Most processes use vast amounts of electricity, and we have electricity in abundance.
A good project is the future fire proofing of houses and building that are in forest fire areas. Cement board, brick, stone, metal for roofs.
Build rapid transit between cities using electric, instead of flying jets. Transport between all Canadian cities, not bypassing them (or a rapid connect to the subway system/transit system. Also need to update the transportation in Canada by rail and sea ports. Canada should control its own ports, not hire foreign companies to manage them.
Some one develops a business here in Canada, and if its too big other Canadian companies cannot buy it, but foreign owners can afford it. And six years later the operations are shut down....https://dailyhive.com/canada/lifelabs-quest-sold
This means all your medical data is accessed by an American company....
Canada used to have its own lab (federal) for diseases and got rid of it. Start a new one up!!
Get tough on crime, execute drug dealers and distributers. Bring back the death penalty. Use a gun and you get double your sentence.
I agrees less on foreign aid, aid only for clean water and helping less fortunate learn skills to survive and prosper. But charity should start at home. Lets work on Canadians first.
If Canada does increase its manufacturing, it has to keep up in the environmental management of our ecosystems. Don't pollute, but too many of industry uses toxic chemicals or processes.
Politicians should be made to drink those waters and breathe that air coming from factories in Canada. So should the lobbyists.
If you are going to vote strategically then look carefully at the statistics for recent elections in your federal riding.
Having said that I’d always say vote with your heart for the party that you are absolutely in sync with.
I love the way Danielle keeps on digging and undermining Pierre.
I’m not voting strategically. If I didn’t like Carney, I wouldn’t vote for him period. I’ve always voted ndp but I think in this climate right now, carney would be a better fit to go up against Trump. I would not have voted for Trudeau. Under Trudeau, we ended up in a housing crisis. I think Pierre has some ideas that will affect Canada negatively so I’ll vote against him for sure. Carney is definitely not left enough for me. But that’s not what Canada needs right now. We definitely need our social programs but we also need a pm that will appeal to people in the right, who uses strong assertive language and can carry us through the Trump bs. I don’t feel I’m holding my nose to vote carney. Nobody is perfect, especially rich people and politicians lol
If it turns out allegations Carney moved Brookie funds to carribean countries to avoid Canadian taxes are true or difficult to refute, it will be a pre-election Liberal scandal that. Could take him down. His whole indignant hushness on ethics questions is not inspiring to undecided voters.
Myers commercials are his best bet, and as much as I like Mikey, that’s a bit sad for a boring dry politician to need a comedian to boost his sense of humanity.

This exactly the type of dodgy word-salad response that will cause people not to trust this maple-oligarch.
Unfortunately despite not being clean and ethical, it is all probably done legally. If you look at the entire financial industry, they do this day in and day out. And many of those are Conservative. Almost all the wealthy, Conservative, Liberal and NDP do this sort of crap. I am sure that the Liberals will find similar things on the Conservatives. Like how does PP accumulate $25 million on a MP's salary? Sure he has been a MP for 20 years or whatever but the salary and typical investments are not enough. So he has someone taking 'care' of his investments.
As for comedians, they are proven so far to be the best guardians of liberty. When you see the comedians in the US take on Trump (and most of his predecessors) they probably invoke far more admiration than most professions!
The Liberals (fed or prov) did not create a housing crisis.
1. Oversea investors (Criminal funds or private funds). Ever since the early 1990s.
2, Lack of local city counsels to provide for more low income housing, most counsels chose to support local business profits (NOT SAYING THERE WERE KICKBACKS TO THEM). I am also not saying that tax prices in certain areas are adjusted.
3. Real estate agents helping with biding wars to increase house prices. (some houses selling 30-60,000 over listed price).
4. Bank and lending institutions and real estate accessors in league to increase house prices.
5. The reality is that 3 and 4 help create a vicious cycle to keep increasing house prices. Eg when was the last time there was a buyer's market??
6. Low interest rate in the last 20 years. The availability of cheap money.
7. Capital gains on personal houses where some people were flipping houses 5-7 times a year.
8. Buyers buying into a hot market on advice from the realators saying that the housing market is not stopping, so get in now while it is still cheaper.
This has happened over the last 30 years or so.
I agree with everything you just said. But I will also add, having more people in the country than there are houses for played a huge part in the last 10 years. 9 years ago, you could easily find a nice place for under $1200. Now it’s absolutely impossible even for a bachelor.
It’s definitely not a one reason only why we’re in a housing crisis.
Even Carney says Trudeau was focused on the wrong things. The liberals under Trudeau did a bit of damage control but we’re still here with huge homelessness. In his last year, he agreed to slow down immigration.
I absolutely love living in a melting pot of different cultures. I am definitely not anti immigration. I just think you need to have infrastructure and housing first before the new people get here
More than all the others combined, #6 is either directly or indirectly to blame. Lower interest rates allowed prices to go up in the bidding wars for homes. That in turn caused foreign buyers and Canadians with $ to invest to buy up properties because it seemed likely Canadian property was a good investment. I am quite confident that if interest rates had not gone down so dramatically we would not have the housing shortage that we are currently experiencing.
