Why try to budget balance and cut programs and funds coz if you do no one will vote for you. Instead just spend spend spend and let the next guy clean up after you since is elections every 4 years no point in being responsibility for the next gen.

Instead just spend as much as you run the country into debt that way you can buy votes.

The question was whats Canada's identity.

He answered the question, you're just too slow to come up with a rebuttal so you're ignoring the answer and re-asking the question like it was he that missed the point, not you. Almost exactly proving the point he made. Classic :lol

Canada's identity has certainly changed for the worse compared to our parents and grandparents generations. If they had this unqualified, lying, hypocritical, incompetent, racist, fiscally disastrous PM in their time he would have been out on his ass so fast he'd never have a seat in Parliament ever again.

Hard times create hard people, hard people bring good times, good times create soft people, soft people bring hard times. This country has never been softer. If Trudeau is re-elected it will be an even bigger international embarrassment than Trump's election.

Was it your grand parents generation who kidnapped kids and put them in residential schools where they where fucked by priests and nuns or was it it your grandparents generation who put a whole ethnic minority into internment camps?

That’s not what he’s saying manic. He’s saying we’ve become soft and fat over the years due to the stability and economic prosperity our forefathers brought. Nowadays you have a bunch of snowflakes social justice warriors who never had it bad so they don’t know the meaning of hard work and real injustice.

Trudeau is weak. His father wasn’t. He got elected because of his dad and that’s the only real reason.

Can you cite a source w/ data to support that claim? I suspect that is just another Manic!ism?

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...on_results.png

Canada has always been more left leaning, consider that in 1993 the Tories only managed to secure 2 seats in parliament... if I compare how many seats the Tories had in 1993 (2) to how many they won in 2015 (99) then I guess it's reasonable to say that in Canada more people are moving to the right.

Canada is a left leaning country. The Conservative party is more left than the American Democratic party.

DragonChi 10-15-2019 08:25 PM

Pretty sure this election is going to turn out with a Liberal minority.

And before the 93 election they had 151 seats under the conservative Brian Mulroney. The reform party that later merged with the Canadian Alliance won 52 seats.

:awwyeah:
Seven out of ten provinces disagree with that statement.
But I guess if you ignore the stampede of conservative wins that have swept across Canadian provinces the past several years.
you'd need to live in a really really thick bubble to do that though LUL

I don't know about his grandparents. But mine fought and lost dear friends for the freedom and independence of this great country.
That same freedom that affords you, the libranos, and what's become of our government funded propaganda machine media, the luxury of trampling all over it.
You're a disgrace.

I don't believe polls. Polls also said Clinton was easily going to win in 2016. There is a lot of disdain for Trudeau even amongst long-time Liberal supporters. This is not the Liberal party of Martin or Chretien, it's become more like a cult of stupidity and incompetence on both a personal and policy level. I know a lot of people who voted for Trudeau just to see a change from the years of Harper and even when Trudeau won I said 'fair enough' and gave him the benefit of the doubt to prove himself. Not one of those people intends to vote to re-elect him. Only time will tell.

It was called a world war people from many countries fought in it. India sent 1.5 million Hindu's, Sikhs, and Muslims to fight in WWI and 2.2 Million in WW2.

Trudeau literally begging for votes with a 'woe is me' campaign now. Telling people to vote for him because he "shares their values" FailFish Which values are those? Lie, break the law, treat women as second class politicians, take taxpayer funded vacations that cost four times the median annual salary of working people, be openly and admittedly racist...? He's actually telling people not to vote for who they really want but to vote Liberal just to beat the Conservatives. This is the guy that campaigned for Proportional Representation!!! Fucking pathetic.

I was proud to work with Justin Trudeau as President. He's a hard-working, effective leader who takes on big issues like climate change. The world needs his progressive leadership now, and I hope our neighbors to the north support him for another term.

Except Trudeau hasn’t been serious about tackling climate change (lowering GHG emissions).

Introducing a national carbon tax was a good start but not enough.

Funny, if Trump tweeted support for Scheer then it's foreign political interference....

Trump is the head of a country. Obama is now just a citizen.

Quote:

The United States Immigration and Nationality Act says it is against the law for U.S. citizens — including dual nationals — to enter or leave the United States unless they are using a valid American passport.
Quote:

Earlier in the campaign, Scheer confirmed he held dual citizenship in Canada and the United States, the latter passed to him by his American-born father. Scheer said his parents applied for the citizenship and a U.S. passport on his behalf when he was a child, but that he hasn’t renewed his passport since becoming an adult.
So how does scheer travel to the US?

I think it is technically possible to travel to the US using a Canadian passport... but I could be wrong.
