I don't like him either but you would be trading the devil for the witch. I would say he at least has nice hair but covid seems to have killed that too.

   

I stand by my above statement. This video is just further proof of what I said. I'm more than happy to roll the dice in this case.

-J.

   

Yeah but witches spell's can be broken, the devil's work is much more difficult.

   

We're fucked no matter who's in charge.

   

That's very pessimistic. Besides, Trudeau is the most fucked of all-time at this point. We can only go up from here.

-J.

   

Not necessarily. Trudeau is not good. But there is no reason at all, period, to support the Tories right now. If they'd been in charge with Andrew Scheer as PM during COVID the death toll would probably be five times worse that it is right now because they would have re-opened everything back around New Year's as they played some sick "we gotta save the economy!" game like those asshole governors in places like Florida and Texas did.

   

I never liked Scheer. He was my DISTANT third choice during the CPC leadership convention at that time, and I still don't know how he moved up from third place (overall) to winning the leadership.

O'Toole isn't much better, and I think CPC voters dropped the ball by not electing Dr. Leslyn Lewis as the leader. She is amazing, and would have polarized not just the CPC, but Canada as well.

-J.

   

The problem is that there is no good choice for PM, Trudeau, O'Toole, Singh all are weak leaders.

There are no Layton's, Pearson's, or Mulroney's in any of the parties ranks. This is the dark age of Canadian Politics.

   

My favorite in my mind was Lester B. Pearson. And this is why Among other things he made us a great modern nation.


Say what you want about Elliot Trudeau, our current crop are pretenders to the throne and I have no IDEA what they have for a course a head or even what they want for a legacy.

I see endless and pointless culture wars and the only leader who talks about national programs with any credibility is Singh. National pharmacare and that's just an add on to what Tommy Douglas did and we still hadn't finished it yet. At least it is something thou, the rest just want to give everything to the rich just in their tribe.

   

We're never going to finish a lot of those things simply due to proximity to the United States. Their ideas of the private sector doing everything in order to generate further profit for the wealthy will always affect too many people up here who'll see & envy the wealth the upper class gets from stymie-ing public expansion and encouraging deregulation. If we were a European state it would be different because they all, more or less, move in the same direction on social needs. Canada will always be a land of half-measures and stagnation. First from being too scared to take it as far as the Europeans have. Secondly, simply because our own upper class that's carved out a comfortable niche by becoming quasi-Americans won't let it go any farther than it already has because it would threaten their position. And thirdly because the moneyed interests in the US that have investments here will do what they can to stop any further progress as it would harm their earning potential if the parts of our system that are basically Americanized ever became nationalized/socialized.

We are what we are now, mostly because of far too many bad decisions, especially deciding to follow the wrong path blazed by those with a much different and much harsher mindset. It's probably not wise to expect anything really groundbreaking from Canada in the short or medium term. We're just not wired that way, not that we ever really were to begin with.

   

This is true.

I don't know if they are weak leaders or not. They are ALL weak for BC. They get to Ottawa and they are sucked into the Ontario-Quebec vortex, and that's it. Anything outside of Ontario and Quebec is not important to them. Liberals or Conservatives, it doesn't matter.

Being ignored isn't always a bad thing. But sometimes you see how truly awful they are. For about a week or two, Canadians started to get an appreciation for the impact of federal policies, such as residential schools, on First Nations. But then, a family got killed in Ontario and the Indians are sent of the back of the line again. Because something happened in Ontario.

All our news--CBC, Vancouver Sun, Vancouver Province, National Post, Globe and Mail--all of it comes out of Toronto.

While I am definitely no separatist, I think BC and Alberta should be using their economic clout to enforce their constitutionally protected powers.

   

Yep, the problem is that nobody has any real long term vision, beyond climate change (left) or cutting taxes (right).

A real leader would see we invested for the future and made Canada a leader in green technology, upgraded and seriously invested in infrastructure, and ensured domestic industries could produce what Canada will need going forward.

Where are the 21st century version of the St. Lawrence Seaway or Trans-Canada Highway megaprojects?

Where is investment in high speed rail or Hyperloop? Investment in airports? Why aren't we investing in the North? If climate change is as bad as predicted, we should be investing in roads, airports, seaports, municipalities, and everything else up there to ensure that it's not the Russians who get all the economic growth and advantages from a warming Arctic. A handful of AOPV is not nearly enough IMHO.

The federal government spent over $400 billion last year and while it protected Canadians during a crisis, we really have nothing concrete to show for it. Almost no new infrastructure, no fleets of electric buses, no wind or solar farms, etc. Instead of exporting a lot of that money to China, we should have spent as much as possible on companies here, to produce vaccines, PPE, and everything else our nation needs going forward.




You're nothing but a goddamned traitor! J/K
