Boris Johnson appealed to the same racist and xenophobic voters as Trump did in the US. The Labour Party had the poor judgement to elect a leader with the personality of a loofah. Okay, time to take the tinfoil hat off and come back when it's affects have worn off. Floyd 1

Okay then... What's Junior up to? Oh yeah, he's been self isolating for a month. Too busy raising the carbon tax while our economy is heading for a depression & giving himself a raise when millions of Canadians like me have lost or are losing their jobs. Our great ******* leader. Yeah same old blah blah. And no its not partisan to say that the premiere of a province picking up supplies on his own truck is staged by Warren Kinsella. It might look nice but its about the worst use of his time you could imagine. JCon 1

The Unknown Poster Posted April 3, 2020 Report Posted April 3, 2020 Its not really political. Most leaders have leadership skills and are relatively intelligent (either smart themselves and/or smart enough to have smart people around them). They *should* be great leaders in a crises. 17to85, Bigblue204 and Mr Dee 3

Like it or not, we are all at the mercy of big business because we the well paying jobs they offer. If you know of a better way to create well paying jobs I'm all ears. The tax rate isn't a big driver of whether a business is located somewhere or isn't. So your choice is flat out incorrect. blue_gold_84, Floyd and JCon 3

I really can’t see it as political either here in Canada, as opposed to the U.S. They have two viruses. The Covid-19 and the idiocy virus. It must be terribly frustrating to be stifled by political lines when you’re just trying to do the right thing. JCon, Bigblue204 and The Unknown Poster 3

Well yes in the US, you still have plenty of local and state leaders showing non-partisan leadership. Its just one that makes everything political and would rather people die. Unfortunately he's the top guy. I think his plan is clearly to try and make it seem like the individual States will be to blame.
