Kamala had the biggest rallies in 2024 by far and she lost.

Pierre Trudeau had 20X bigger rallies in 1979, he lost to Joe Clark.

There are many examples of where rally size does not correlate to election outcome.

Quebecers worrying about migrants (legal or not) isn't news lol

You’ll notice when they themselves do the same thing, just directed towards the right, they never hold themselves or each other to the same standard.

You and elle63 are totally Danielle-Smith-ing your boy Polievere Acajack here!

Yup, that pretty much sums it up.

When did he say this? Inflation did drop like a rock at the start of COVID. Remember when they couldn't give oil away?

PP was a bitcoin bro at that time. Any word from him on crypto now?

Leger also did exceptionally well in the US election. Leger had 49-49 as their final top numbers. Reality was 50-48. Given how shitty the US pollsters did, this was damn near close to the result.

Their 2019 and 2021 federal polls for Canada were both the best in the biz, they took the gold both elections. Bottom line...When Leger brings out its numbers... you listen.

Some regionals from Leger

-LPC leads Atlantic Canada by 20 , Quebec by 19, Ontario by 9, BC by 8.
-CPC leads AB by 20, Prairies by 16

Just transition is all about not leaving the poor and working class behind.

Quote:

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) defines just transition as follows: "A set of principles, processes and practices that aim to ensure that no people, workers, places, sectors, countries or regions are left behind in the transition from a high-carbon to a low carbon economy"

It's about helping those who were dependent on fossil fuels to move into a low carbon economy, not mass layoffs with no plan for them.

Carney:

"At 12:01 EDT tonight, Canada’s counter-tariffs will come into force.

There will be 25% tariffs on all non-CUSMA-compliant vehicles from the U.S., and 25% tariffs on the contents of CUSMA-compliant vehicles that are not from Canada or Mexico.

President Trump caused this trade crisis — and Canada is responding with purpose and with force."

I don't know, how many Germans had to die back in the day. They could have laid down arms, released the hostages and it would have been over, they didn't.

Wow, that's really hilarious. Someone asked me why I don't engage in "discussions" here, you can't reason with zealots so I don't bother. Presenting a Conservative point of view will sooner or later get your posts deleted or get you banned, but it will never go the other way. Its like NPR in the US 87-0 or in this case, only Conservatives get banned, leftists never do. Wonder why?

About Danielle Smith, I thought it was an interesting interview but did any of the responders watch it? No, it was easier to make uninformed comments about what she might have said or who she was talking to. That my friend is intellectual cowardice and why I usually don't bother to exchange.

What I'm wondering is why all the leftists here are trying so hard to convince us about Carney over Pierre. I've already said it, as long as Trump is in the picture and this isn't resolved, I don't see a road for a PP victory. I said the same about Trudeau and PP. I said there was no need to engage because anyone with a working brain knew PP would beat Justin, and then it all changed.

So again, I have to ask, why are you trying so hard?

I'm feeling nostalgic for those early election days when the Conservative voices here were 1overcosc, and Build.It before he experienced his mental break.

There were disagreements, but at least the conversations were civil and kinda interesting. These last few pages are literal bottom-shelf garbage.
