Electoral reform truly would bring the country together I believe. Every party has elements that would build our country to being a better place, and until the parties, and different groups learn to work together, we will just spin our wheels. Heres hoping Trudeau and the other leaders learn this before hand, and work for the people instead of simply for their "parties."
They can not continue to simply criticize, and block progress, financial, social, or environmental because it doesn't align with their historical platforms.

Is there a way to impeach a Canadian PM? Legit question. I don't think I can stand more years of JT at the helm. I believe in the Liberal platform, not the leader. IMO Jagmeet Singh should be Liberal PM from the way he ran this election.

shouldn't have protected the SNC, should've let enbridge sell the TMX to chinar

westopher 10-21-2019 07:40 PM

Nenshi would be my choice for a liberal leader. Jagmeet ran a great campaign, but the party didn't have a platform that could appeal to a broad enough demographic.

You know what?
At least we all still live in a beautiful country. No matter which government it's under.

Sad for Jane Philpott.

Cheering for Jody Wilson-Raybould ... it's really close.

They'd rather cripple their own national economy and not send Canadian oil and LNG to China to reduce their dependence on coal (GHG). They'd rather block the Energy East pipeline through Quebec while that provincial government dumps millions of tons of raw sewage in to the St. Lawrence and imports all its oil from Saudi Arabia (by tanker) which is one of the worst human rights regimes on the planet.

you realize China has a population of 1.4B? so we're doing worse per capita than they are if your numbers are correct

it might not seem like much but we can always do better

yep you bet, why should we give more fuel to China...so they can buildup more bases in the Pacific and continuing to arm North Korea? modern China is developed a lot later say Japan or USA, the onus is not on Canada for them to get off coal reliance...they simply dont give a fuck go look at how much exotic animals the CCP unofficially encourages the black market to flourish

i dont support Alberta, Saudi or the 45% municipal taxation...I support our Cascadia/west coast economy (Alaska, BC, WA) by fueling up south of the border

On top of that, regardless of what someones preferences are, whoever you consider to be the worst of the possible leaders of our country is still far better than the "best" option (if they even get an choice) that people in a lot of other countries get.

DragonChi 10-21-2019 08:32 PM

Yes, you buy cheap gas from the states to protest AB and human rights violations... :rolleseyes: /sarcasm

Wait until their gdp per capita gets close to ours. Which is increasing relative to their emissions.
Those who can afford to emit, will. Up until the point that they can afford not to.

Laughed so hard when they had Jagmeet making a 20m victory speech as if he just became PM, then Scheer starts his concession speech and literally 1m later JT starts his speech so they cut to him instantly. Scheer is already a becoming a distant memory.

Ah, another hypocrite. You know almost 90% of Alaska's GDP is from O&G, right? You know O&G employs more than a third of the state, right? You know all that oil sails right down the Pacific coast to the tune of hundreds of tankers a year past all the lands that aren't actually protected by Bill C-48 because all that does is ban Canadian based tankers, right? You know the reason gas is cheaper in WA is because it's subsidized by Alberta because we can't get fair market value for it while it's landlocked and the Americans get it cheap, right?

Happy reading: https://www.aoga.org/

You're literally buying Canadian gas at a discounted rate at the cost of your own country. You don't support shit.

We get to do this all over again in about 2 years....

When Trudeau heard the reports of a 'minority' government for the Liberals, he pulled out the face paints so he could blend in.

NDP is broke. They can't afford another election that soon.

If you paid attention to only the noise surrounding them, then yes.
But their policies were derived almost entirely from the reform party platform.

Oh well. That's our democracy.
We'll be seeing 1 million fresh liberal voters every term, as that conversation becomes more and more difficult to have.

What do you think about Peter Mackay as leader of Cons?

And party develops a policy for climate change, be a bit more inclusive (LBGTQXYZ) ... that might tip them over to the winning side.

i dont have to pay 45% carbon tax and support the saudi by pumping south, sounds like a win to me

yes it's unfortunate the crude there is tankered up/down the coast, but beats giving energy to China

and no, i don't give a rats ass about supporting subsidies like for the dairy industry

Lib minority gov't...will the pipeline through BC see it through to 100% completion?

Hard to Say. NDP might not want the pipeline and since NDP leaders is in Bby if he works with Lib to pass the pipeline he can kiss good bye to his seat next election unless the Libs promise something that will greatly benefit Bby.

Greens will not work with Libs in anyway to get the pipeline built. And why would the Cons help Libs build the pipeline.

Chance of pipeline being built under this gov is pretty slim.
