  1. Have you ever noticed that PP's solutions are always the ones where Canadian taxpayers reward the industries that specifically donate to PP's campaign to the tune of multimillions, also seems to specifically benefit his particular base of power, also coincidentally in the populations that support him specifically? He also seems to be just fine with throwing dairy management/fisheries + a lot of the priorities of the East coasts industries under the bus as they don't generally tend to support conservatives (just for the record, I like Canadian dairy, milk, eggs, look it up as we get a higher quality product for a better price as I don't want a bunch of chemical hormone garbage that Americans flood our market with when they mess up their on situation). Don't get me wrong, obviously oil and gas is extremely important but let's keep in mind that it's still less than 10% of GDP and the other 90% of the country is more relevant in terms of business and jobs overall. Also, my concern with PP, is that he and Danielle Smith have made it abundantly clear that they will prioritize the oil industries first at the expense of everyone else and considering the fact that NAFTA was originally negotiated under a conservative government which screwed Canadian businesses & workers in the first place, which doesn't't exactly inspire confidence that PP's not going to be willing to throw most Canadians under the bus, again, to protect himself, his donors & the over 70% of foreign corporations that own our oil resources?!?! Liberals are terrible BUT at least they have votes everywhere in the country, even some in Alberta & is therefore less likely to be beholden to narrow set interests in extremely powerful oil Lobby that is PP's base of support for votes but more importantly who his campaign donations overwhelming come from. Like I said before, I find it interesting that his overwhelming plan is to invest hundreds of billions of dollars into pipelines that more than likely won't come into effect until well after Trump is gone a decade from now & coincidentally massively benefit his corporate donors, as well as a very narrow set of foreign investors. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure PP is extremely concerned about the development of the rest of Canada's infrastructure, as the TMX pipeline received a $40 billion investment from the Trudeau liberal government and obviously that's brought about National unity but it began 13 years ago So I'm not entirely sure why potentially another 100 billion is to be invested in a product that would likely take even longer this time to develop, by a politician (PP) who gets his money from corporations that are overwhelmingly owned by foreign corporations in the oil sector in Alberta? You know, just saying......... The system works.

  2. Canadians unfortunately need to be reminded with Trump's incompetent presidency, of what to expect from our conservative's empty rhetoric before we vote for Poilievre's government that is EXTREMELY SHORT ON ACTUAL POLICIES (sadly, you can't govern with vague cliches or empty rhetoric). With any luck we can force a minority Conservative government, so that Poilievre can't sell out Canadian trade policy without having to at least bring it to the other Parties, which is unfortunately the only way to hold Pierre accountable for his capitulation to Trump's America first policies or selling out Canadian workers to international corporations.

  5. He was a traitor to this country and sold us out with NAFTA which caused the literal destruction of the Canadian middle class, endless layoffs and I'm sure many deaths of despair and suicide as a result. He destroyed the future for us, our children, our grandchildren, and the great promise that was Canada. His commitment to corporations over Canadians is a legacy we will all suffer from for generations. Unforgivable.

  9. Did you like Fords privatization of healthcare or corporate corruption with developers!?!? Then you're going to love Pierre Polllievere. I mean look how excited corporate media is for him, clearly the billionaires who own our media support Pierre. Do you think the billionaires are trying to help you?!?!?!

  10. Because they know that Israel would force all Palestinian people from their homes & they don't want to take in even more refugees. "With nearly 2.4 million registered Palestinian refugees – close to half of the total of all Palestinian refugees – Jordan is home to the largest number, followed by Syria (about 584,000) and Lebanon (about 491,000), according to the agency's 2023 estimates.Jan 5, 2024"

  14. Saw the "Muslim" in the title and thought, Oh yeah, there'll be some good old-fashioned classic Canadian xenophobia! I live in a major city and I tried to explain to my friends from other countries that if you drive an hour outside of any of these cities that you will see what Canada is actually like, small-minded, cruel, petty, racist, xenophobic, homophobic and generally mean. The kind of people who complain about small businesses going out of their towns while drinking the world's worst coffee at Tim Hortons next to the Walmart that they just bought everything from. That's not everyone out there, but I'd say at least a hardline 30% and another soft 30%. The other 40% are what makes this country amazing and are who our grandparents fought and died for in world war II, but unfortunately they don't vote as much as the people who are motivated by petty cruelty and hate. The system works. P.S. I'm sure Poilievre will be PM soon and will accomplish nothing he's been talking about while things get worse but these same people won't notice so long as he's cruel to the poor, drug addicts and the mentally ill or disabled.

  20. Trudeau obviously sucks BUT During the last time Polllievere was in office under Harper, the average home price went from $225000 to $512000. This snake oil salesman would have you believe two things are true at the same time; your home, you're most valuable asset will go up in value for all the elderly conservative voters out there BUT at the same time he's going to drive down prices so that homes are affordable in Vancouver. So which is it PP? This is pretty much like everything he says, vague rhetoric, zero actual policies that can be measured in a meaningful way and the usual misleading information. I get it, hating Trudeau is super easy. He has one of the most punchable faces in the world, but that doesn't make Pierre anything that he says. The conservatives have a very, very, long history of campaigning to the shop workers and delivering for the campaign donors and the corporations they serve. Unfortunately, we have a choice between the s*** sandwich that is Trudeau or a giant douche who will do pretty much the same thing except with more service cuts and petty cruelty to the poor. Gotta pick one!?!? The system works. Let's stop supporting it. Vote a third party, not the corporate duopoly.

  21. @maddogslone2403  nope, just watched it unfold for two decades. Pipelines for Tariffs, WHY?!? TMX just took 13 years to complete for $40 billion (Canada is likely to lose 15 billion) from the federal government and yet Alberta hates Canada more than ever?!? So PP's solution is the drop $100 billion more towards his province to make us dependent on resource extraction that might take place 15 years from now? I get why he wants to reward his donors BUT I just don't understand why the rest of Canada would want to lose even more money on a plan that coincidentally only benefits PPs provinces decades from now?!? Seriously Canada, WTF?!?

  22. I guess they found their Candice Owens to parrot the Israeli talking points.

  23. Well, at least Poilievre and Alberta's Smith have prioritized the oil industry first (9% of Canada's GDP) over ALL other industries, including small businesses and regular people's job's. Clearly our conservative parties understand that if they want to continue to receive donations from the oil industry, then they better make sure that they are taking care of their needs first! The system works.

  28. Over 15000 Palestinian children are dead and they're "concerned" about peaceful protests instead of ending the slaughter of innocent Palestinians. However, notice the MSM keeps saying violence, pro-hamas and antisemitic comments come from the protesters but never, ever show anything to prove that or the fact that many protesters are a part of the Jewish community. The only good thing about all of this is it really shows normal people how much the media lies directly to their faces and how stupid they think we are.

  30. Listening to Trudeau makes my skin crawl, however, I've never been a fan of the conservatives either as I remember the Harper government. They gave some upper class tax cuts for soccer mom's, petty cruelty service cuts to the elderly, disabled and veterans (& of course the usual losers but that just makes them break into my stuff more) So I'm curious as to what you think electing a conservative government will do specifically for Us? As far as I know, everyone making less than $100,000 gets a carbon CHQ (I make over the cutoff so I have never seen a check. I'll actually get a tax break), once the cons are elected people won't get that anymore as the cons have said they're going to end many programs and they're going to slash government spending which generally means that you will be paying more for services while also not receiving the carbon chq anymore either? So just in terms of a day-to-day quality of life situation, what do you actually expect will be the difference? I know Pierre said he'd make it possible to buy a home in Vancouver where I live by "stopping the gatekeepers" which sounds cool of course cuz who doesn't want that but it doesn't actually make any sense as it doesn't say how? I mean do you think Pierre is having homeless veterans put into the house next to his place LOL!? I get hating Trudeau is enjoyable cuz he really sucks bad but I just don't see how the conservatives are any different? Pierre Poillevre was in government for almost 10 years and didn't deal with any of this except deregulation of oil and gas industry that allows the pollution of rivers and lakes which is fine I guess but that's less than 10% of the economy?(*Over 70% of major shareholders in Canada's largest oil companies are foreign so most money leaves Canada) Great for his donors I suppose but even when they did it last time housing still went up almost 50% on his and Harper's watch? Anyways, I'm really hoping I'm missing something because this isn't looking good, feels like we're going from the frying pan and into the fire. Please give me ANYTHING TO HOPE FOR, PLEASE!!!!!!!! Good luck everyone & Thanks!

  31. Ford would totally identify with Mulroney. They were both corporate whores, they both were corrupt, they both preferred privatization over helping Canadians, they both got caught for obvious corruption, but best of all, they are impressive because they were able to convince working class Canadians to vote against their own interests and so that NAFTA could take all of their jobs. I guess it is impressive

  45. This snake oil salesmen is doing the typical Conservative agenda, cut taxes slightly for the middle class, massive ones for corporations. Then in order to partially pay for this loss of revenue they attack programs for the poor, services for the rest of us and try to start the road to healthcare privatization. The reason I say "partially" is due to the fact that almost every conservative government has added more to the deficit than the Liberals (*except for Trudeau who's a terrible leader but changing a corporate hack who's nauseating to just bring in another one who's signature is petty cruelty and corporate giveaways isn't better). Sadly he will be our next PM as we have a First Past the post electoral system rather than Proportional Representation guaranteeing that we have to choose between the corrupt woke Liberals or the corrupt and mean spirited Conservatives. Eventually Pierre Polllievere will ride a wave of resentment and apathy into office. The system works.

  49. Exactly. The PPC is irrelevant now that Pierre has embraced the far Right, the anti-immigration community and most importantly the freedom to discriminate against the LGBTQ community. Especially the LGBTQ children who's parents might want to punish them as a result of Jesus, Jehovah or Mohammad's hate of their love for other people. Obviously teenagers have no rights to a personal opinion on how or who they love personally, or how they are treated in the school system that dictates the outcome of the rest of their lives. I think that we all understand that the religious biasis of a parent and their ability to apply shame and fear into their LGBTQ children is far more important than the concern that those children could kill themselves as a result of being outed to thier religious zealot parents!!! I mean could you imagine the embarrassment of not knowing that your child was named Joe instead of Jolene!??! bviously its better to risk a teenagers suicide than the awkwardness of letting other religious community members know that you are more interested in your child's well being than religious dogma!!!! I couldn't imagine any religious leader not comforting a grieving parent with the fact that at least they weren't known to have supported their child during their struggles with loving someone who their parents didn't approve of?!?

Its the morons who believe him when he says otherwise that are to blame......

  60. PIERRE'S HOLLOW TALKING POINTS federally I think Mad Max is actually what Polllievere talks about but doesn't vote for. As for policies I don't think "stop the gatekeepers" is a policy as I'm sure he's not going to allow mixed social housing to be built next to his house or any of his wealthy donors either. Same with firing bank of Canada, sounds good but the corporations that back him won't accept anything that hurts their bottom line. He'll cut taxes, probably save the middle class about $800-$1000 in taxes but will cut carbon tax rebates so more like a $500 savings while giving corporations millions in tax breaks. Now when you cut revenue it drives up the deficit and destroying the CBC won't save billions in lost tax revenue so he'll have to go after government services and add "service fees" for other government services (exactly what Harper did and PP voted for). As for the Oil industry, he can't force multinational corporations to use Canadian oil as that amounts to nationalization and that's commie talk. But let's pretend that he did, Saudi oil is almost 5 times cheaper to produce a barrel of sweet crude than Canadian oil not to mention we don't have refining capacity so imagine how paying quadruple the price of "Canadian gas" would go over. Pretending he's going to build a pipeline to the east coast (that the multinational companies said wasn't financially viable) may sound good but won't actually happen either. The only thing he's said that appeals to me is how he's going to force the medical profession to accredit immigrants BUT that industry is incredibly powerful and is unlikely to give away their monopoly not to mention most Albertans won't want to see a Bangladeshi Dr. His platform is buzz words and slogans without numbers or anything that is measurable because he knows that people would actually crunch those numbers and tear him to shreds. It's easier to make promises to the base, reassure the wealthy that nothing will change and ride a wave of dissatisfaction with the Liberals to office. Sounds familiar, that's what Trudeau did with Harper.

  61. MEMORIES ARE SHORT!!!!! but I remember how the conservatives "balanced the budget" on the backs of the amazing men and women of the Canadian armed services. Maybe they don't think our soldiers deserve to be treated decently but I do. There are other services cuts as well and tax breaks for big business, just google it. Canadian Veterans ABC Campaign 2015 Aug 17, 2015, 08:00 ET OTTAWA, Aug. 17, 2015 /CNW/ - Frustrated by years of cutbacks and lack of support for returning soldiers, Canada's veterans are taking their battle to the political arena. They are calling on Canadians to support veterans by voting against Stephen Harper's Conservative government on Oct 19, 2015. "This is our time to put the terrible treatment of Canada's heroes on the political landscape," said veteran Tom Beaver. "We want every Canadian to know the suffering injured veterans have experienced under Stephen Harper. Our voices must be heard." The veterans are rallying under the banner of Anyone But Conservatives — Canadian Veterans Campaign 2015. This campaign will also feature social media, a web page, billboards and attendance at public meetings to raise veterans' issues. In the past week the campaign reached two million Canadians on Facebook. Despite its rhetoric about supporting our military, the Harper government has consistently taken actions to the detriment of veterans including: Legislated away the right for injured veterans to receive a lifetime pension, substituting a lump sum payment. This leaves many injured veterans in poverty, many with few job prospects; Saved $3.9 million by closing nine Veteran Affairs offices while having the gall to spend $4.5 million for Hockey Night in Canada TV ads to tell Canadians how great a job they are doing to help veterans; Cut the veterans affairs workforce by more than 20 per cent (900 jobs) and clawed back $1.13 billion in unspent funds since 2006. And Pierre Polllievere voted for all of this.

  62. Ouch, Trudeau using my $ to buy votes. Giant middle finger to small businesses.

  63. I hate Trudeau for making me agree with Pierre PissyPants, Johnson is in no position to be the sole arbitrator of truth. Sadly, the fact is that both parties in our corporate duopoly have vested interests in China that remain undisclosed but I would say the fact that both voted for the anti-worker FIPA China trade agreement in 2012 says everything about what both parties want (corporate hegemony over workers under the guise of national trade). PP can make all the political hay he wants out of this but you can rest assured that he would do pretty much the same f**** thing with China as his party also prefers corporations over people. Just look at Polllievere's colleague in the conservative's last government John Baird who went to a literal gold mine and Chinese billionaires office after serving as foreign Minister. You couldn't write this level of corrupt s*** and have it believable on a TV show. The system works.

Almost 20000 Palestinian children are dead and they're "concerned" about peaceful protests (notice they keep saying violence + menacing comments but never, ever show anything to prove that) instead of ending the slaughter. The only good thing about all of this is it really shows normal people how much the media lies directly to their faces and how stupid they think you are.

  72. During the last time Polllievere was in office under Harper, the average home price went from $225000 to $512000. This snake oil salesman would have you believe two things are true at the same time; your home, you're most valuable asset will go up in value for all the elderly conservative voters out there BUT at the same time he's going to drive down prices so that homes are affordable in Vancouver. So which is it PP? This is pretty much like everything he says, vague rhetoric, zero actual policies that can be measured in a meaningful way and the usual misleading information.

This is a major endorsement for minority governments because otherwise they just do what is expedient to the government of the day rather than justice.

Go Leafs or whatever...... The new type of onservatives have learned to cleverly play on the inter racism of some immigrant communities against other immigrants/minorities and homophobic attitudes of devout religious groups. Couple that with an opposition that's uninspiring to say the least, basic voter apathy and low voter turnout?!?! Voila, another Ford government. The system works.

However, he does have a record of 9 years in government, eight of which were deficit, the last one was only bounced because he sold off federal assets at a loss. Also, if you look up the conservative negotiations on FIPA The Chinese trade agreement that they negotiated at the expense of Canadian workers for Chinese companies. The Liberals ratified it because they're both corporate whores. I really don't understand why you expect anything different this time?

  84. PIERRE'S HOLLOW TALKING POINTS federally I think Mad Max is actually what Polllievere talks about but doesn't vote for. As for policies I don't think "stop the gatekeepers" is a policy as I'm sure he's not going to allow mixed social housing to be built next to his house or any of his wealthy donors either. Same with firing bank of Canada, sounds good but the corporations that back him won't accept anything that hurts their bottom line. He'll cut taxes, probably save the middle class about $800-$1000 in taxes but will cut carbon tax rebates so more like a $500 savings while giving corporations millions in tax breaks. Now when you cut revenue it drives up the deficit and destroying the CBC won't save billions in lost tax revenue so he'll have to go after government services and add "service fees" for other government services (exactly what Harper did and PP voted for). As for the Oil industry, he can't force multinational corporations to use Canadian oil as that amounts to nationalization and that's commie talk. But let's pretend that he did, Saudi oil is almost 5 times cheaper to produce a barrel of sweet crude than Canadian oil not to mention we don't have refining capacity so imagine how paying quadruple the price of "Canadian gas" would go over. Pretending he's going to build a pipeline to the east coast (that the multinational companies said wasn't financially viable) may sound good but won't actually happen either. The only thing he's said that appeals to me is how he's going to force the medical profession to accredit immigrants BUT that industry is incredibly powerful and is unlikely to give away their monopoly not to mention most Albertans won't want to see a Bangladeshi Dr. His platform is buzz words and slogans without numbers or anything that is measurable because he knows that people would actually crunch those numbers and tear him to shreds. It's easier to make promises to the base, reassure the wealthy that nothing will change and ride a wave of dissatisfaction with the Liberals to office. Sounds familiar, that's what Trudeau did with Harper.

  87. Facts are irrelevant? Just Google any of the conservative deficit records and it shows that they are consistently the worst party.

As a small business owner I have to admit that being forced to pay for another stat holiday as an apology to indigenous peoples for the government letting Preists molest them and residential schools to destroy their culture seems a little unfair. If The government was the one paying wages for that day, I would actually think it was about the importance of that very real issue rather than politicians buying votes with my money. I'd much rather see a long-term strategic plan that puts money in communities, clean drinking water, actual economic development that is sustainable for the long-term and education for not just indigenous communities but for Canada as a whole. But nope, I just get to pay for my staff not to come in for a day they'll never even think about.  The system works.

  110. I hate Trudeau for making me agree with Pierre PissyPants, Johnson is in no position to be the sole arbitrator of truth. Sadly, the fact is that both parties in our corporate duopoly have vested interests in China that remain undisclosed but I would say the fact that both voted for the anti-worker FIPA China trade agreement in 2012 says everything about what both parties want (corporate hegemony over workers under the guise of national trade). PP can make all the political hay he wants out of this but you can rest assured that he would do pretty much the same thing f**** thing with China as his party also prefers corporations over people. Just look at Polllievere's colleague in the conservative's last government John Baird who went to a literal gold mine and Chinese billionaires office after serving as foreign Minister. You couldn't write this level of corrupt s*** and have it believable on a TV show. The system works.

  133. Vancouver has had non-stop development, yet housing prices have almost doubled in 10 years. The housing was just bought by the real estate developers that donated to the local politicians and sold to sit empty as investments for the wealthy and offshore money. You could cut down every last tree but the development community and the politicians they buy will always artificially inflate prices to profit off a human necessity. The answer is both to increase supply through government incentives but also severely restrict the commodification of real estate Canada.

However, Trump is ONLY allowed to start a trade war without Congressional approval, IF it is "security" related, hence the nonsense about drugs coming from Canada. He intends to extort Canadians to enrich certain corporations and himself at the expense of average Americans. Oil will be exempted because he understands that most Canadian Conservative politicians will gladly sell out the rest of Canadians to ensure that their donors in the oil industry are still profitable as that's who they actually serve (* you can't get a cushy corporate board seat after politics if you didn't deliver the goods).

Not only that but he's going to stop everyone from abusing drugs by cutting off the safe supply or harm reduction programs, so they'll obviously quit and get jobs instead of robbing your car or B&E's, which means that our kids won't die from a poisoned drug supply! Clearly, Pierre's tough on crime has NEVER been tried!!! (I'm pretty sure Ronald Reagan won the War on drugs right?!?! ) Then, finally I'll be able own a home in Vancouver, just by Poilievre "stopping the gatekeepers," whatever the f*** that means!?! Yup, finally a politician who is brave enough to tell everybody exactly what they wanted to hear and offering simple solutions to extremely complex and difficult problems all while being extremely close to the largest corporations in Canada and the world. The fact that he voted for the exact opposite of everything he's now promising in the 9 years in power he served under Harper doesn't matter as he's totally changed and obviously won't totally blame the Liberals for all his broken promises to Canadian workers, while still delivering to ALL his corporate donors to "stimulate the economy,' like every single Conservative government before him while massively driving up the budget deficit (8 out of 9 massive deficit under Harper except the last which was balanced by selling Canadian's federal property.

  142.  @GGGeeGee1997  Canadians don't need to worry about housing or affordability as Poilievre implied that once elected he will do so many service cuts to government, so many layoffs for Union federal employees (while improving services of course), massive tax breaks for his foreign owned oil companies & multinational Conglomerate that will also be able to pollute noe for through deregulation, sell-off so much canadian-owned Federal land & buildings to more foreigners that it will kill the deficit, that it will end the massive worldwide inflation that's been plaguing middle classes everywhere! Not only that but he's going to stop everyone from abusing drugs by cutting off the safe supply or harm reduction programs, so they'll obviously quit and get jobs instead of robbing your car or B&E's, which means that our kids won't die from a poisoned drug supply! Clearly, Pierre's tough on crime has NEVER been tried!!! (I'm pretty sure Ronald Reagan won the War on drugs right?!?! ) Then, finally I'll be able own a home in Vancouver, just by Poilievre "stopping the gatekeepers," whatever the f*** that means!?! Yup, finally a politician who is brave enough to tell everybody exactly what they wanted to hear and offering simple solutions to extremely complex and difficult problems all while being extremely close to the largest corporations in Canada and the world. The fact that he voted for the exact opposite of everything he's now promising in the 9 years in power he served under Harper doesn't matter as he's totally changed and obviously won't totally blame the Liberals for all his broken promises to Canadian workers, while still delivering to ALL his corporate donors to "stimulate the economy,' like every single Conservative government before him while massively driving up the budget deficit (8 out of 9 massive deficit under Harper except the last which was balanced by selling Canadian's federal property. Like selling your house and saying you've balanced your books). Poilievre's guaranteed snake oil elixir is great and can hopefully be used for LUBE because I think we're going to need it.....

  145. I hate Trudeau for making me agree with Pierre PissyPants, Johnson is in no position to be the sole arbitrator of truth. Sadly, the fact is that both parties in our corporate duopoly have vested interests in China that remain undisclosed but I would say the fact that both voted for the anti-worker FIPA China trade agreement in 2012 says everything about what both parties want (corporate hegemony over workers under the guise of national trade). PP can make all the political hay he wants out of this but you can rest assured that he would do pretty much the same thing f**** thing with China as his party also prefers corporations over people. Just look at Polllievere's colleague in the conservative's last government John Baird who went to a literal gold mine and Chinese billionaires office after serving as foreign Minister. You couldn't write this level of corrupt s*** and have it believable on a TV show. The system works.

  147. Trudeau obviously sucks BUT During the last time Polllievere was in office under Harper, the average home price went from $225000 to $512000. This snake oil salesman would have you believe two things are true at the same time; your home, you're most valuable asset will go up in value for all the elderly conservative voters out there BUT at the same time he's going to drive down prices so that homes are affordable in Vancouver. So which is it PP? This is pretty much like everything he says, vague rhetoric, zero actual policies that can be measured in a meaningful way and the usual misleading information. I get it, hating Trudeau is super easy. He has one of the most punchable faces in the world, but that doesn't make Pierre anything that he says. The conservatives have a very, very, long history of campaigning to the shop workers and delivering for the campaign donors and the corporations they serve. Unfortunately, we have a choice between the s*** sandwich that is Trudeau or a giant douche who will do pretty much the same thing except with more service cuts and petty cruelty to the poor.

  148. Almost 20000 Palestinian children are dead and they're "concerned" about peaceful protests (notice they keep saying violence + menacing comments but never, ever show anything to prove that) instead of ending the slaughter.

Thankfully, the NDP understands the power of the Israeli lobby and with any luck, nobody will ever bring up the thousands of people who had nothing to do with the Hamas terrorists that will surely die as a result of collateral damage. If the Palestinians don't want to be bombed, they shouldn't have locked themselves in an open air prison with the gangs that run it........ Thank Gawd all the media attacked a disabled woman trying to defend the lives of innocent women and children.

  156. PIERRE'S HOLLOW TALKING POINTS federally I think Mad Max is actually what Polllievere talks about but doesn't vote for. As for policies I don't think "stop the gatekeepers" is a policy as I'm sure he's not going to allow mixed social housing to be built next to his house or any of his wealthy donors either. Same with firing bank of Canada, sounds good but the corporations that back him won't accept anything that hurts their bottom line. He'll cut taxes, probably save the middle class about $800-$1000 in taxes but will cut carbon tax rebates so more like a $500 savings while giving corporations millions in tax breaks. Now when you cut revenue it drives up the deficit and destroying the CBC won't save billions in lost tax revenue so he'll have to go after government services and add "service fees" for other government services (exactly what Harper did and PP voted for). As for the Oil industry, he can't force multinational corporations to use Canadian oil as that amounts to nationalization and that's commie talk. But let's pretend that he did, Saudi oil is almost 5 times cheaper to produce a barrel of sweet crude than Canadian oil not to mention we don't have refining capacity so imagine how paying quadruple the price of "Canadian gas" would go over. Pretending he's going to build a pipeline to the east coast (that the multinational companies said wasn't financially viable) may sound good but won't actually happen either. The only thing he's said that appeals to me is how he's going to force the medical profession to accredit immigrants BUT that industry is incredibly powerful and is unlikely to give away their monopoly not to mention most Albertans won't want to see a Bangladeshi Dr. His platform is buzz words and slogans without numbers or anything that is measurable because he knows that people would actually crunch those numbers and tear him to shreds. It's easier to make promises to the base, reassure the wealthy that nothing will change and ride a wave of dissatisfaction with the Liberals to office. Sounds familiar, that's what Trudeau did with Harper.

  157. That's exactly what Harper did and it increased the deficit. Unfortunately you can't cut taxes and expect to cut the deficit. Pierre will do what all conservatives do, cut millions and taxes for industry and service cuts for the rest of us. The system works

  165. POILLEVERE'S RECORD OF FAILURE ON HOUSING WHEN LAST IN POWER. by Charlie Smith on November 14th, 2012 at 3:33 PM The Harper government has failed to keep its 2009 promises to the UN. The federal government will have to answer to the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva for its failure to keep its promises to the international community around housing. Michael Shapcott, director of affordable housing and social innovation at the Toronto-based Wellesley Institute, told the Georgia Straight by phone that in 2009 Canada made several pledges to the Universal Periodic Review process. This was created by the UN in 2006 to hold countries accountable for their human-rights records by forcing them to answer to questions from other countries. In April 2013, Canada is scheduled to undergo scrutiny of its performance since the last review. “[Canada’s] specific commitment was we recognize more needs to be done, we promise we’ll work with the provinces and territories, and we’ll come up with a strategy,” Wellesley said. “They’ve absolutely completely failed in that regard of having a strategy.” The Wellesley Institute filed a five-page document with the Universal Periodic Review citing a litany of Canadian cutbacks to housing programs. It states that in 2009 the federal government announced $2.1 billion in new funding for affordable housing over a two-year period, plus another $5.7 billion for homeowners in middle- and upper-income brackets. By 2011, these short-term measures were terminated, and there was a 39 percent reduction in affordable-housing funding compared with the previous year. “Since most federal dollars were matched by provinces, territories, municipalities, non-profit and private housing organizations, the combined loss added up to more than $3.5 billion in one year,” the institute declares in the document. “Included in the federal cuts were: 97% cut in Affordable Housing Initiative (new affordable homes) from $452 million to $16 million; 94% cut in national low-income housing repair program from $674 to $37 million; 27% cut in on-reserve Aboriginal housing from $215 to $156 million; and, 5% cut in assisted housing from $1.7 to $1.6 billion.” In addition, the institute revealed that a federal Crown corporation, the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, will cut the number of households receiving assistance under federal programs by almost 100,000, or 16 percent, between 2008 and 2016. And CMHC’s expenditures on the Affordable Housing Initiative will fall from $582 million to $0 between 2010 and 2015 CONSERVATIVES ARE AS MUCH TO BLAME AS THE LIBERALS FOR THE HOUSING CRISIS IF NOT MORE SO. BUT MEMORIES ARE SHORT AND PEOPLE ARE STUPID. The system works.

  167. This snake oil salesmen is doing the typical Conservative agenda, cut taxes slightly for the middle class, massive ones for corporations. Then in order to partially pay for this loss of revenue they attack programs for the poor, services for the rest of us and try to start the road to healthcare privatization. The reason I say "partially" is due to the fact that almost every conservative government has added more to the deficit than the Liberals (*except for Trudeau who's a terrible leader but changing a corporate hack who's nauseating to just bring in another one who's signature is petty cruelty and corporate giveaways isn't better). Sadly he will be our next PM as we have a First Past the post electoral system rather than Proportional Representation guaranteeing that we have to choose between the corrupt woke Liberals or the corrupt and mean spirited Conservatives. Eventually Pierre Polllievere will ride a wave of resentment and apathy into office. The system works.

Unfortunately, we have a choice between the s*** sandwich that is Trudeau or a giant douche who will do pretty much the same thing except with more service cuts and petty cruelty to the poor. Gotta pick one!?!? The system works. Let's stop supporting it. Vote a third party, not the corporate duopoly.

  174. Almost 20000 Palestinian children are dead and they're "concerned" about peaceful protests (notice they keep saying violence + menacing comments but never, ever show anything to prove that) instead of ending the slaughter. The only good thing about all of this is it really shows normal people how much the media lies directly to their faces and how stupid they think you are.

  175. okay, just so I'm clear. You're feeling is that despite the over a 150 years that Canada has traded back and forth between the Liberals and the conservatives government commitments to Corporations (NAFTA, GATT, FIPA & TPP had Hilary won & USMCA) that we will be able to indefinitely push back a conservative's government agenda despite a massively pro conservative billionaire owned Canadian media, massive American pro conservative corporate media, massive pro provincial corporate media, as well as a trade war that's specifically targets the liberals and NDP's current government??? All by managing to avoid PP, by a couple digits in an election where the liberals at best would possibly be another minority government (after a decade in power which no government has ever done) and this would be the long-term strategic goal to keep PP indefinitely out of government while Trump and every corporate interest in the world rains down their worst possible punishment for a liberal/NDP government fighting for Canadians rights and has Carney as our champion who was last in government under Harper and prioritized as always corporations instead of working class Canadians?!?! Sorry, I swear to God I'm not trying to be a dick but I have to say that having studied Canadian politics for almost 30 years I have considerably less faith in our first past the post system and the world's most concentrated corporate media that has explicitly ensured that the corporations and Israel are always under every single circumstances prioritized over the Canadian people let alone doing anything even approaching morality. However, if I've missed something I would love to hear it because I am not only super depressed, sad about the inevitability of what's coming but also filled with dread as the hammer comes down. For me, what we need to accept is that things are going to get a lot f**** worse and if we don't start preparing for that it's going to not only make things impossible to address but worse, the possibility of Alberta and Ontario's right-wing agenda actually turn us into the 51st state because Trump purposely bankrupted our government. Please the love of God tell me you have a better solution?!?!?!?

  176. He was a traitor to this country and sold us out with NAFTA which caused the literal destruction of the Canadian middle class, endless layoffs and I'm sure many deaths of despair and suicide as a result. He destroyed the future for us, our children, our grandchildren, and the great promise that was Canada. Unforgivable.

  177. Exactly, obviously if you don't agree with Trump and do exactly what he says, even if the problem is less than 1% of the problem, you're putting facts & the Canadian economy first?!?!? I'm just so thankful that Smith appreciates the importance of putting Americans concerns first. God bless America

  178. During the last time Polllievere was in office under Harper, the average home price went from $225000 to $512000. This snake oil salesman would have you believe two things are true at the same time; your home, you're most valuable asset will go up in value for all the elderly conservative voters out there BUT at the same time he's going to drive down prices so that homes are affordable in Vancouver. So which is it PP? This is pretty much like everything he says, vague rhetoric, zero actual policies that can be measured in a meaningful way and the usual misleading information. I get it, hating Trudeau is super easy. He has one of the most punchable faces in the world, but that doesn't make Pierre anything that he says. The conservatives have a very, very, long history of campaigning to the workers and delivering for the campaign donors and the corporations they serve.
