I can already smell from here the ink on the Bloc Québécois posters being printed right now.

Why does this anger Quebec? Can't they compete for immigrants to Canada?

Poilievre Carney confirms capital gains tax hike will not proceed. Another Con policy Carney is using to get elected.

You follow Canadian politics closely and aren't aware that Quebec has issues with this, and why they do?

(This is an honest question, BTW.)

[Hackslack]

Carney “opposed to having preset caps or preset restrictions on preset timelines."

YET

“Mark Carney will maintain oil and gas emissions cap”, environment minister says

Soooo what is it, Mark?


“Something that my government is going to do is to use all of the powers of the federal government, including the emergency powers of the federal government, to accelerate the major projects that we need in order to build this economy and take on the Americans,” Carney said.

When asked about if Carney would ever “impose a pipeline on Quebec”

“I would never impose,” a pipeline on Quebec” says Carney.

Soooo what is it, Mark?

This guy cannot be trusted, he doesn’t have any clear path, other than those he has taken from the Cons.

Wasn’t a part of Brookfield head office move to New York to avoid tariffs …. Annnd that was a lie

Canada is major semiconductor to the US… annnd that was a lie (or at least completely out of touch.

Carbon tax on industry has no economic bearing on the consumer. Annnd that was a lie.

Glad the adult who wears a suit well is making good / sensible decisons. Great leadership - Canada is in good hands with Carney!

Glad the Lib supporters are finally seeing the light and continue to support Carney as he takes items straight from the Poilievre platform.

Canada is in good hands, so long as Carney isn’t lying, which he has proven to do over the last 2 weeks.

This is just a rough calculation, but using an online population growth calculator I get the following:

Population growth during Mr Harper's terms from 2008 (33.2M) to 2015 (35.7M): 1.04%

Applying that growth rate from 2015 to 2100, we'd have a population of roughly 86 million.

Looking at the Trudeau years, from 2015 (35.7M) to 2024 (41.5M est.): 1.69%

Applying that growth rate from 2025 to 2100, we'd have a population of roughly 125 million.

So, somewhere in between the Harper and Trudeau immigration rates, we get to 100 million in 2100.

I am certainly not writing off PP. Quite the contrary, I have stated numerous times that talking to a bunch of bankers in a well controlled room at the Four Seasons is a completely different scenario than talking and motivating the masses and being able to think fast on your feet at a debate and Carney has shown he is no orator.

Also, so far Carney has had a pretty easy ride. He has gotten tons of media {both domestic and international} attention and has been presented as Canada's knight in shining armour but that is already starting to change. Increasingly his duplicity in his support for pipelines is being shown saying one thing in Quebec and another in BC. Or his rants about climate change while he invests in overseas highly polluting ventures. His hypocrisy in the carbon tax is also quite glaring. Carney has a lot of baggage of his own that he will have to explain.

He does benefit from one thing however, Singh and the NDP's plunging support who will much more likely go Liberal than Tory. The NDP are now basically irrelevant and are going to get pulverized. The media hardly even talks about them anymore and in politics, as in life, there is only one thing worse than being talked about and that's not being talked about.

You aren't a serious person.

Maybe carney should have brought back parliament before galavanting around the world meeting with leaders. Maybe he should call an election and become an elected member of the house so he can actually do his job.

Decades of government neglect on a national historic site… what a surprise.

At the same time I call bullshit on it costing $42 million to fix.

Conservatives have been yelling for an election for a long time. Now they'll get one and will probably scream that we didn't need one. Sneaky Carney.

"I think Premier Smith's demands are very reasonable," Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says when asked about Alberta Premier Danielle Smith's demands for the next federal govt, which she warns if not met could lead to "an unprecedented national unity crisis."

If I didn't know any better, I would swear that PP is deliberately trying to lose the election. Smith has established herself as a Quisling, and is extremely unpopular everywhere in Canada, including Alberta.

There is also an ongoing RCMP investigations, dealing with UCP corruption.

Federal Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson says the need to build a resilient economy with new export opportunities for Canadian energy suppliers has never been clearer.

JUST in time for the election!

Great work Libs!

Pierre will destroy carney in the debates and we’ll probably end up with a conservative minority. According to angus read about half of the liberals support now is soft, so not fully committed voters.

[WarrenC12]

Wooo CPC is scared s---less of Carney. He must be doing something right.

[trueviking]

That's a lot to put on a debate.....could be too late by then.

Pierre just like the CPC leadership will try to do everything to avoid the debates. He can apple chomp to a journalist, won't be so easy during the debate to avoid the hard questions. Three word slogans "Boots not suits" won't cut it.

The massive uptick in their support has come from NDP and Bloc, with them at all-time lows in supoort. I don’t think it’s out of the question that the Lib support will diminish simply because I’d think NDP and Bloc will gain more support throughout the campaign…

I’m not expecting anything and will absolutely not even try to predict an outcome. TBH I am happy how the Libs have adopted the conservative platform, for the most part, especially seeing they are investing in LNG export - not that they need to, all the energy wants is regulatory approvals removing the unnecessary red tape. They have never ever asked for a dime from the government. Definitely a vote grab, but, good on em.

Hard questions and Canadian political debates really don't have much in common, I'd say.

Doing something right? They are running on the conservative platform! Libs are buying it too.

Judging from the zealotry of the far left posts here, I would say the opposite, which is odd because I think Carney will win more than it seems you guys do.

You guys post as if politics were part of your self esteem. Do you guys have to guzzle all the KoolAid?
