No way.. if the NDP don’t back the non-confidence vote once the new liberal leader comes in the NDP will be finished. That will be the final straw for their supporters and there would be nothing to gain from propping up the liberals any longer. In fact it would likely be a detriment to the NDP seats

FWIW, the deal is said to be good until March, and the DQ is located at:

https://maps.app.goo.gl/RBJDuWQBh82WqRmN7

in Langley.



BC Conservative MLA Harman Bhangu went to the DQ for the social media trolling:


I could use a $2 burger and some trolling too LOL~

The irony is that many of those F-Trudeau people would be the first to rip off their grey maple leaf stickers off their rusted trucks and apply for an American passport at the first opportunity just to stick it to Trudeau and the Liberals.

Is it really that big of a loss to Canada if we lose these people to the US?

I would fully encourage the lot of them to move to the US if they think it's so great. It's no different than all the mainlanders who claim China is the best country in the world but will never move back there.

People who support the NDP don't want PP as PM. They don't want an early election.

All those TFWs at Church's are ruining the chicken. We need to bring back the Filipinos to Church's (other than the Kingsway/Slocan and Fraser/41st ones - they still slap).

So they are going to prolong the inevitable to the detriment of the entire country.

That will surely garner public favour.

How does it keep changing faults lol
Like NDP doesn't give a fuck about what you think. They know people like you won't vote for them regardless. What they will be doing is campaigning to people that would, like undecided voters that haven't already celebrated the PP/peterson interview saying racism wasn't real before Trudeau created it.

So you think having a new lame duck PM who will ultimately fall to the cons for another 8 months while Trump shits on Canada is the best case scenario?

Things are going to get wayyyy worse now if they don’t call a non-confidence.

I think the least power possible the cons have in the next election is what's best for Canada for longer than the next 8 months of trump yelling about taking over countries and icecaps

At least he would be bargaining from a position of strength and have the ability to actually pass legislation.

Well I guess when parliament is back the opposition party needs to vote FOR legislation put forward by the acting government for the benefit of Canadians for fucking once.

Dude, WTF are you talking about here? Jagmeet has literally said on camera 2 days ago that the NDP will vote to bring down the government at the next no confidence motion.

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/jkL1PFmHYF0

So he isn't just paying lip service to topple the Libs anymore. It will happen at the next supply and confidence vote when Parliament resumes.

Not even joking, had a serious discussion with my manager and wife since I got back (I was in Shanghai for 16 days in Dec), I am so sorry I am drinking the coolaid lolol.

I was literally in your boat like 40 days. But going back to Shanghai as an adult (who didn't have to follow my mom around everywhere) was a game changer, but also no kids + no wife + no dogs for 2 weeks, still though the experience makes me wanna stay in Shanghai forever lololol

In all honesty though, if it wasn't for my kids' education (which Canada is way better at). The conclusion from our discussion is we gonna stick it out till our kids finish post secondary and maybe I can convince wife to move back.

If I was single, I would buy a ticket today and move back to Shanghai.

There is enough equity in my house here that I can live comfortably back in Shanghai and do jack shit all day.

Including hotel + food + an unlimited data cellphone plan = $1700 CAD a month all in. (yes the lifestyle had me fattening up 18lbs in 16 days => $1700 CAD per month)

The liberals are now polling ahead of the NDP after Turds resignation

Jagmeets opportunity to be the official opposition has passed, so it would be very surprising if he actually followed through on this

-interesting article on CNN about Chrystia Freeland:

https://www.cnn.com/2025/01/08/ameri...tam/index.html


Although I don't like her work as the former Minister of Finance, even CNN mentions her good negotiating work in protecting Canada's interests during the last round of negotiations for the free trade agreement with the U.S. and Mexico.

-from the article:

During the first Trump administration, Freeland – then foreign minister – engaged in high-profile clashes with the United States over Trump’s decision to impose tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from Canada.

She was closely involved in the arduous negotiations to revise the longstanding North American Free Trade Agreement, or NAFTA, which Trump has indicated he wants to renegotiate yet again.

“Freeland had probably the highest profile of any cabinet minister beyond the prime minister,” Nelson Wiseman, professor emeritus at the University of Toronto, told CNN.

“Canada basically didn’t give the US anything in those negotiations,” Wiseman told CNN. “Trump essentially rolled over because in the renegotiation of NAFTA, for Trump, image was everything.”

Freeland has since become a personal target for Trump, who recently criticized her as “totally toxic and not at all conducive to making deals.”

Freeland has said Trump acted as a “bully” during negotiations after Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner criticized her own negotiating tactics in his memoir.


That's the one thing that I like about Freeland in terms of her negotiating skills.

Trump can call her anything he wants to insult her. Freeland is not intimidated by a bully. She did not back down to any of Trump's demands during the last round of negotations of the free trade agreement. Props to her for standing up for Canada.

which is great because you'd genuinely want to move and settle there. my comment was aimed towards those who constantly shit on Canada but very clearly will never leave and always have majority of their investments here lol. so clearly, the reality beyond their words is that "China numba two!!"
