I think the reason why derek sloan is not joining the PPC is because when he loses his seat he will be out of work and will have to find a job. If he has his own party he can lose his seat but still grift people for money as the leader of the party.

Cons off to a great start with Trudeau attack ad! Looks like O'Toole's 8 yr old child put it together.

Cons lol. Imagine electing a party leader that was using party funds to pay for his kid's private schooling.

whitev70r 08-14-2021 11:41 AM

Well, imagine electing a party leader that was using party funds to pay for his own vacations ??!!

Ethics Committee violation 3x

Honestly wish Libs would trash JT ... but white privilege ... ain't going to happen.

westopher 08-14-2021 11:52 AM

Canadians will vote loud and clear this election and it will be more apparent than ever that “the libs are the okayest party we have we guess, for now, maybe. What difference does it make”

whitev70r 08-14-2021 12:12 PM

^ But pleeze ... don't give him a majority. I can't handle an unchecked JT.

I actually think things are running fine as it .. give and take here and there. Less ethics violation from the PM would be preferable.

Liberal, NDP candidates must be fully vaccinated to run for election.

Conservative, Green, Bloc Québécois recommend but don't require shots for their candidates
Such a dumb move by the cons, greens and the block. First question they are going to asked is are you vaxxed a question the libs and NDP can skip.

While two wrongs don’t make a right, that’s a tiny drop in the bucket compared to JT’s indiscretions

He also lied about his citizenship.
Who paid for his clothes.
Who paid for his nannies because he and his unemployed wife needed help taking care of them.


But that's a drop in the bucket compared to the worst part. He is a con with policies that would be bad for Canada. Covid has shown reduced immigration is bad for Canada.

Looks like the cons hired a company from New Zealand to make the ad. The company is nicknamed the meme machine. Hiring foreigners to make campaign ads for a Canadian election. Does not look good. Are they going to outsource everything when they get into power?

When Brad Wall, a former Sask premier and stringent conservative criticizes you. You know you probably fucked up.

If this doesn't show how fractured the CPC is, I don't know what will. The attack ad is straight up from r/fellowkids.

Tegra_Devil 08-15-2021 11:51 AM

Fuck me Conservatives.... I want to like you, but you keep letting me down.

... Now I know what it is like to be a Canucks fan :troll:

When your campaign budget can only afford you to contract an ad agency found through Fiverr.

westopher 08-15-2021 03:53 PM

I’m watching O’toole on global right now. Holy FUCK.
What is it with so many politicians? You can be asked a yes or no question, yet it ends up with a 7000 word answer that completely fails to acknowledge the yes or no question.

Manic! 08-15-2021 09:02 PM

Someone got this in the mail.

I thought all the rich people supported the cons. Can't they afford a graphic designer?

whitev70r 08-15-2021 09:20 PM

^ your petty posts about cons are getting old. It is revealing your IQ. C'mon, post something of substance instead of critiquing the layout of a letter.

O.K.

They say they will secure jobs and recover 1 million jobs lost by covid. How? and who is going to fill those jobs we have a massive labour shortage right now with businesses closing because they can't find enough workers. But hey let's add more low paying jobs. If they really wanted to increase the number of jobs in Canada they could have hired Canadians to make ads for them instead of hiring a company from New Zealand.


When the cons have a plan they agree on let me know until then I will keep making fun of them. I already know what the Greens, NDP and Liberals plan to do.


I have a feeling they are having a hard time finding anyone in the ad industry to work for them.

The TV ad campaigns are cringe af. Who tf in charge of marketing for the party watches the commercial and say yeah that's so good, air it.

The Cons election platform:

https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/con...form-1.6142319

I think that realtors in Canada would scream bloody murder if the Cons won the election and put this policy into place: :lawl:

O'Toole to ban foreigners from buying homes for two years

Beyond job-creation measures and child care, the detailed platform includes a number of populist-minded measures — a tougher regulatory stance on cell phone companies, a crackdown on grocery price fixing and new legislation to "open banking so Canadians can connect with fintech companies that can provide a better offer for banking services."

A Conservative-led government would also order the Competition Bureau to investigate bank fees. O'Toole said he would allow foreign telecommunications companies to offer cell phone service to Canadians to drive down prices, "provided that the same treatment is reciprocated for Canadian companies in that company's country."

To address the issue of affordable housing — Canada's sky-high average real estate prices are typically higher than those in Western countries — O'Toole would ban all foreign investors from buying homes here for at least a two-year period.

In the last federal budget, the government pitched a one per cent tax on foreign-owned vacant homes to reduce home price inflation driven by foreign nationals scooping up Canadian homes

Manic! 08-17-2021 04:09 PM

Anyone selling a house will just wait 2 years if the price starts going down. That will reduce the stock and cause prices to go up. After the 2 years there will be a rush of foreign buyers.
