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.

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.

Considering the cons swept the heavy Oil & Gas producing regions, I can't imagine it would look too good on them to prevent it from being constructed...

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.

That is Jaswinder Singh Dilawari. He came to Canada as an immigrant 5 years ago and runs a immigration company. He was the candidate for the PPC in Surrey Centre. Your hate for immigration is telling.

Like the Mexicans who support Trump "I'm already here, so let's build the wall!".



It's not what they said, however it's the fact that the changes that the PPC proposed were leap years beyond what a 4 year gov't is capable of doing in Canada, in 2019.

I liked what they were saying. It made sense to me. That said, I'm a white male born in Canada, so maybe my views are different than those of a native, immigrant, or visible minority. I wanted the changes based on my own selfish desires, and the same can be said for everyone else. Exactly as you said, as time comes the immigration conversation will become tougher to talk about. As our country becomes far more diverse than it already is. But it's already hard to talk about considering that 1/4 of our population is made up of immigrants, many of which have been here for 10+ years. It was clear to me early that shit wasn't going to fly. That's why a PPC vote was a wasted vote, or even worse, a vote taken away from the Tories.

Plus, you never go against climate change. Whether or not it's real and/or manmade, it's a hot topic right now. To outright deny it exists makes one sound like a neanderthal. This isn't the US with it's large population of low IQ inhabitants. As dumb as some of them are, the vast majority of Canadians are too smart to fall for that garbage.

Cons could easily ask the Libs for something the Libs won't budge to trade for support to build the pipeline IE increasing the mortgage to 30 years and getting rib of the stress test or getting rib of foreign tax on housing.

So let's recap. You're against the Alberta O&G economy and by extension the Canadian economy. You support the Alaskan O&G economy but not the tankers that make it possible. You're against climate change but don't want to help phase Asia off coal, the #1 producer of GHG. You're against climate change but don't want to pay the carbon tax. You don't support O&G but you want cheap gas. In fact you'll drive further, across a border, to buy cheap gas subsidized by Alberta because your local gas is too expensive. You say 'better us than them' while supporting them - buying our gas in their country and supporting their tax base not ours. You want Alberta to 'turn off the taps' thus cutting off your own cheap gas and want the cost of living to skyrocket for yourself and everyone else. By the way Saudi gas only comes in the East because Quebec blocked the Energy East pipeline - so you don't even know where your supply is from.
