  1. You still have to earn a living and put bread on your table.
  2. A religion does not put you in a position where you don't have to make decisions or earn a living.
  3. Now you're modifying. You originally said 'all other articles are word for word different from CBC.'
  4. I won't ask you to show your work, because you can't. All of the media does that.
  5. He can't possibly be that out of touch,
  6. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/article-it-is-too-easy-to-forget-how-transformative-a-prime-minister-justin/
  7. Yes. But I will say this: the absolute glee of people like Mansbridge, was very obvious when the Trudeau Liberals won in the 2015.
  8. CBC is not more or less biased than all the others. I like CBC because their articles are more in depth. The Winnipeg Sun, for example, has a right wing bent, but that's not the reason I dislike them. I find the quality of their writing to be very low level.
  9. I realize she's a politician, but she really needed to do a better job of explaining the budget - scrap the political jargon and lay down some precise bullet points She has the smarts, but she could use some coaching with communication The other two...I agree. But I think it probably is one of those 3 - maybe Mendicino - after that it'll be a parachute
  10. I can't stand Trudeau's word salad - but I prefer it over Pollievre's hot air Bottom line though: in spite of all the criticisms of Trudeau, Harper, Martin, et. al. - Canada is still in a much better position than most of the G7 But I am not convinced that Pollievre is a leader who would keep things intact or improve them First off, I don't believe one word of what they're saying about the carbon tax. It's already a provincial tax in some jurisdictions - why would anyone remove it at the federal level? To balance the budget, I think he'd just do what was done in the past - reduce social transfers - which would then leave most provinces with deficits Just my 0.02 - no one has to agree with me You've got good knowledge of these things - who do you think would be his successor? Freeland?
  11. At this point, I would rather see Trudeau stay in power And I say that as someone who has voted Conservative more often than not Pollievre needs to bring some real ideas forward - he needs to realize that Conservatives would not be able to govern with a minority - the way the Liberals can That's where the swing ridings are - it's all about who is polling higher in the swing ridings That's the Canadian reality
  12. They were heavyweight opinions - Colin Robertson was one of them. I can't recall the other names.
  13. Pollievere engages in more mockery than anyone - he should expect the same - even from an obscure football forum. 😁 We will see how the polls go. Andrew Scheer had the numbers to win a majority, at one point in time. The politician I don't understand at all is Singh. His party is effectively part of the government. But he still speaks like he opposes them, even though he though in reality, he doesn't.
  14. When the story broke, I was driving and listening to CJOB. It was the consensus of people that Cloutier interviewed on his show. That's mostly what I'm basing my thoughts on.
  15. Precisely this. I mean, James Bezan is not a terrible person, but the truth is, he has our riding as long as he wants it.
  16. It could be the fact that Stephenson just barely won that nomination.
  17. At some point, some of them have got to start realizing this. His behaviour in the house is terrible. He does not act like a statesman at all - he is not going to be the answer for their party.
  18. The photo is from today's question period - during the internet security debate
  19. Indeed - there are several on here who would have been qualified for that job
  20. Tanks.
  21. I find the opinion credible, with a bit of hyperbole blended in, certainly. It is what most of the interviewees have said.
  22. Take push back with a grain of salt...it's tastier
  23. Go to 48:00 of this video: who applauds is more telling than what May had to say.
  24. It has been openly stated that the Chinese target(ed) diaspora communities. I have listened to pretty much all of those question periods.
