Smart move. Could have been embarrassing for him.

Yup, he would have been a disaster for the Conservatives.

I don't think he had much of a chance at winning. I think he would have been an 'also ran' like Leitch. And his giant sized ego would not have accepted it.
But yes, he'd have torpedoed the CPC so bad they'd have to re-invent themselves again.

He finally did something I approve of.

I don't approve of Bernier. I think he's an idiot.

Good. The Americans have already proven what happens when a thudfuck reality TV character gets elected.

I'll be honest, I haven't done a lot of research into the guy's platform, but that taste of the libertarian makes him interesting to me as an addition to the Canadian political mosaic.
I'd like to see how it works in Canada. The reintroduction of Liberty into Canada when the trend seems to be editing it out would be interesting at least.
Why do you disapprove again? Is it a policy thing or you just don't like the accent?

A projected $1.5 Trillion deficit! There was a projected $1.5 Trillion deficit. Will you accept it from your prefered state-run media then? Surely you would never suggest it's dumb if they say it.
Finance Department report says the federal debt could double to $1.5 trillion by 2050-51

$1:
Federal numbers released quietly by the Trudeau government late last month are painting a bleak picture of Canada's financial future — one filled with decades of deficits.
The report, published on the Finance Department website two days before Christmas, predicts that, barring any policy changes, the federal government could be on track to run annual shortfalls until at least 2050-51.
If such a scenario plays out, the document says the federal debt could climb past $1.55 trillion by that same year — more than double its current level.
The projection comes as the federal Liberals proceed with plans to run annual deficits over at least the next six years as a way to help Ottawa fund an economy-boosting effort that includes infrastructure investments.

You've just shown that you're just as dumb as that Rebel YouTuber.
Maybe dumb is too harsh a word, let's change that to ignorant.
There is a massive difference between debt and deficit, I'd suggest you look it up!

She's speaking of the 14 candidates vying for the leadership of the Conservative party:
"One of them will hopefully come into power to dethrone Justin Trudeau besides being really annoying - a virtue signalling globalist - um, he's also running our country into a massive amount of debt. From a surplus to a projected 1.5 trillion dollar deficit"
Technically, when you're speaking of budget deficits, deficit means the total amount by which money spent is more than money received. We've all heard deficit used where it simply means " deficiency in amount or quality."
Either way you're out that money.
Debt means you owe money.
You're out that money and you have to pay it back.
The liberals are running budget deficits into a projected future where Canada is 1.5 million dollars in debt.
So to be purely technical she may have flubbed the exact definition of "budget deficit" if that's what she meant, in a 20 minute off the cuff talk, but did she wind up making an incorrect point? Because what I heard her say was government mismanagement is projected to take us to a future where we're 1.5 trillion dollars in the hole. What part of that isn't true?
