You mean other than the ones you were already giving you sea lion? LOL

Either make a counter argument or admit that I’m right even if you don’t like it. This kind of nonsense just makes you look bad

Unfortunately being educated is not in and of itself a protection from that kind of thing. As is easily seen by a cursory examination of the statistics. Our talented people are leaving and that is a major problem and worse Now intelligent people are just using Canada as a stepping stone with the intent of leaving shortly after they get here because it’s easier to get into countries like America from Canada than it is from some of the countries they come from.

Either way we’re getting slaughtered

You could but not successfully 😁 Joking aside though there have been other instances of brain drains taking place in the past. I think to suggest that there’s been a consistent brain drain for that. Of time would be severely erroneous and there are definitely been times when we attracted people to Canada. But this is definitely one of the worst and we are seeing people leave for the record percent of them being exactly the kind of people we want to stay

And it shows up in a lot of stats. Our GDP per capita is horrible and that’s one of the reasons, our investments climate is cored, etc etc. We have to find a way to reverse that and quickly

The problem is the people leaving are the highly talented and valuable people economically speaking. The people that are staying are the low income low skill people who do not substantially increase our GDP per capita and in fact lower it

This is going to be more and more of a problem.

We wasted 11 years on ’ carbon taxes’ instead of learning to adapt or doing something that would have made a difference

I think they have to be careful. During these tough times it would not be difficult to lose the moral High ground and piss the public off.

But I think that they’re mentally revisiting 1999, where we had an outgoing NDP government and the union was able to negotiate a sweet deal because the NDP of the day was trying to win points to salvage their chances.

We will see but I don’t think this is the right time for anybody to be excessively unreasonable that’s for sure

In fact, it’s getting to the point where “I’m not optimistic” is actually a pretty optimistic position to take

Well it is possible that the supposed amount of profit is net rather than gross meaning that the costs of operation are taken from it. But you’re right that this is not clear

Missing from your calculation is the interest paid on the $30 billion or whatever it cost us. That money was borrowed and we pay interest on it every year. So when calculating the return on investment you have to add all of the interest costs to the cost of the project. Something that the liberals in the media tend to forget conveniently

Hell i’d even settle for basic evidence at this point : 😆

For them to address the article logically and rationally instead of attacking the source? 😆 You may have a long wait ahead of you

Remind me again how this guy was such a better choice than Poilievre for progressives?

Simple facts and I did give examples. And the PC and reform party are not the same thing you can’t mash them together and pretend it’s an equivalency. That’s like pretending that if voters vote for the NDP it’s proof that they still vote for the liberals, that’s just not a real thing

And as I mentioned with your example. They accepted corruption for numerous election Cycles with no penalty and voted them out for different reasons so no, it’s not an example.

While it is arguably true that some NDP went to the liberals because of trump it is also true that a large number of NDP have expressed that they did not vote for their party this federal election because they felt that sing was corrupt. There are numerous examples of the conservatives doing that including the death of the PC as well as things like the death of the social credit party in British Columbia

What role voters are just not the same. And it’s not like I’m pretending that the right wing is some group of angels or something, I’m giving every bit as much credit to the farther left NDP voters.

But the liberals have shown again and again that they will accept any amount of corruption and still vote for their party without punishing it substantial. They went psycho after cycle with justin, they’re continuing to support carney despite the fact that they’re all ready scandals, we see it provincially as well when there is a liberal party that they will allow numerous election Cycles with massive corruption and do nothing. They just don’t have the same intolerance for corruption as everyone else and that is a real problem

Your commentary is clearly intended to be a defensive carney it has nothing to do with team sports. I addressed your points point for point, there’s nothing team-oriented about it

And nobody gives a crap who’s to dig her asshole. If you want to hire someone to be your friend the last big brothers. But we’re talking about here is who has the skills and knowledge experience and vision to be able to leave the country forward. There is absolutely no doubt that it’s Poilievre over carney. Something that the only man to employ both of them pointed out quite clearly

Carney pretends that he’s going to execute PoilievreS agenda because he knows it’s popular and correct. But then he either can’t or doesn’t or both.

And you are literally playing “Defend or compare the assholes”. That is the literal definition of what you’re doing.

And no I didn’t actually ask anything. I pointed out that your previous statements were entirely wrong and explain why point for point

I know why he got elected. He is an incredible snake oil or peddler and a continent who managed to convince those on the far left that someone with a long history of renovations and hiding the wealth of the 1% is a great idea. And he convinced liberals that he would be better than you know which he absolutely is not turning out to me. We’re on the same downward trajectory

Well I guess it doesn’t pay the bills anyway 😁 Seriously if you go back and look at some of her original works she was funny and talented, now you look at it you think what the hell happened to this lady? I guess she found her audience preferred this kind of hatred

Well it’s more than that. For us submarines really aren’t about combat vessels as much as they are about surveillance platforms.

We have a hell of a lot of ocean that touches our country. Proper surveillance is absolutely critical. Not just of military threats but also criminal and other activity. You can do a certain amount with planes but they can’t sit around and later forever watching a vessel and if they do the vessel knows they’re being watched. Same as surface vessels.

So even if the Americans were still at work allies we would still need to have a submarine fleet that was large enough to reasonably patrol and monitor the absolutely vast amount of ocean we have to deal with. I don’t think that any other country in the world has as much ocean directly touching them was Canada does, so of course we kind of need Subs

What absolute nonsense. Unless you define maga like Policies as being tax breaks and the like there is no comparison between trump’s policies and Poilievres. If anything carney was far more trump like, with his build baby build comments and make Canada strong again stuff.

And no, carney is not putting in place PoilievreS economic policies. He said he would, he ran on them, but now he’s running away from them. Remember when he promised to deal with interpreneurial trade? Then tried to walk it back when you realized it might be hard? Remember what he said he was going to get rid of the carbon tax but then doubled up the industrial carbon tax and associated fees? He never got rid of the regist legislation that is preventing companies from building pipelines and doing things in Canada, and now he suggesting that the Canadian taxpayer will pay for it just like they did under Justin Trudeau which is the absolute direct opposite of what the conservatives were going for.

Carney’s platform was very much like the conservatives but his actual actions are nothing like the conservatives

And carney is absolutely threatening civil rights. Both the left and the right are deeply concerned about his online gestapo bills. The new police powers for search and seizure are deeply worrying. Etc etc

Conservative spending is the opposite of what you’re saying. In harper’s time for example spending was extremely targeted and did very well and did not flow into the hands of his buddies. Right now we have a scandal where it appears that Brooksfield bought into a company 15 days before carney agreed to give them billions of dollars in bailouts for their condos. Which is exactly what you were just talking about but it’s not the conservatives doing it

Poilievre was clear about what his policy was. Get government spending under control and come up with a plan and March towards a balanced budget. Attract business investment to Canada by creating a favorable environment. Keep investment money in Canada by giving a break to those people who invest in Canadian investments instead of moving their money to America which is what has been happening for the last year and change. Focus on correcting the mistakes and problems of the last 10 years and get crime under control

None of those are bad things. You can say what you like but those are all things that even if you feel there are other priorities out there you can’t say that those are bad things. And none of that is happening under Carney

She didn’t resign for anything else. She resigned because of the furor over a $14 glass of orange juice.

And once again you’re basically trying to skirt the issue. No matter how you slice it or however you want to spin it there was a huge outcry over a $14 glass of orange juice mostly from the left. That same left that is now accepting a million dollars a year in airline food is being perfectly justified. That is just an absolute fact and cannot be disputed

So the issue here comes back to the same thing, hypocrisy. You suggest the party was bad but at the same time there were no major corruption scandals in the entire time that the conservatives were in power. Orange juice is not corruption. Even the Mike Duffy Scandal was an example of harper believing something corrupted happened and forcing somebody to make it right. If we had that kind of correction in politics canada would be a hell of a lot better off 😂

And you’re here trying to suggest that somehow the conservatives were worse and that photo was really bad while excusing carney and his million dollar airline food bill and the scandals were already beginning to see from him, And dismissing Justin scandals

That is hypocrisy my friend.

It’s the first you’ve heard of it then glad to help educate you 😜

There’s no doubt that the original architects of the party very much felt that the west was being excluded. But that’s not why the public flocked to them.

And yeah, the PC party did worse than the reform who had no support outside of western Canada. And reduced them to 4 seats. And that would just keep getting worse for the PC until the reform took them over. You’re kind of making my point for me here . Conservative voters turned their back on the PC and it no longer exists. And conservative voters did not wait 15 or 20 years before taking that party out permanently.

As to your claim that a core 20 to 30% that the Liberals and Conservatives have will refuse to vote for anyone else, while that may be true, the difference is that the liberals will still keep voting Liberal, whereas the Conservatives will not vote at all. Even if they know that it means that a party they dislike will get in and sees power they will refuse to vote for the corrupt party or they will break down and vote for someone else.

For example when the PC party was wiped out as you correctly note only a tiny percentage of the party was still willing to vote PC. And that was so scattered as to be meaningless.

On the other hand despite the snc leveling scandals the we scandals the agacon scandals and all of the other scandals which seem to show up about once every two or three months the core liberal supporters kept showing up and voting liberal. The CPC actually won more of the popular vote and two out of the three last elections but the core liberal support kept the liberals empowered despite obvious corruption

There’s no comparing them. Conservative and NDP voters will trash their party completely and have done so many times if they detect corruption. Liberal voters do not

Just pieces of trash. But honestly so is pizza cake, all she does is spread hatred with her comics the same as they do with their bullshit. I don’t see much difference between the two of them
