Maximum Overkill 1,738 Posted yesterday at 11:02 AM 3 minutes ago, Ron_Artest said: Congratulations Carney. Elbows up! Already not looking good for him. Major protests breaking out all over Canada. They don't want WOKE and they don't want Illegals. A fragile government? As we have been reporting, the Liberals are currently projected to have secured 168 seats – just shy of the 172 needed for a majority. If Carney strikes a deal with the left-leaning New Democrats and the Greens, he will be able to scrape together a slim majority in a country where minority governments rarely last longer than 2.5 years. Philippe Lagasse, a professor and constitutional expert at Ottawa’s Carleton University, said such a scenario would leave the government in a “very fragile” position.

What person, who wins an election that will be a massive ideology shift for the country, say "Great we won... here, you take over"? No one. If Poilievre wins, this would give a 100% assurance that Canada will NOT be annexed by the US. If Carney wins, there's a better chance of provinces to want to secede from Canada and ask the US for annexation. A liberal winning helps the US more, on the front of annexation than a conservative. Trump can't lose from this election.... only Canadians (if they wish to stay as their own country, but vote for Carney). I didn't get a chance to respond to this yesterday, but sigh... we are never, ever annexing Canada, nor any random province in the middle of the country. But we did get a far-left leader on our northern border. Great job Trump. Wheee! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Real timschochet 6,391 Posted yesterday at 02:12 PM I just read a description of Carney’s political views on Wiki: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Carney They’re pretty mainstream. Certainly not a modern day conservative. But hardly extreme. Is there something we are missing here? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I retract that statement, as it appears he is taking some more pragmatic/centrist actions, including a repeal of the carbon tax despite his strong support of climate/alternative energy.

Well, let's see. DOGE contributes to a balanced budget; hopefully you can agree that reducing size and waste is consistent with conservative principles. You've made hundreds of posts about DOGE -- please point to one that supports it, or if not, at least supports the concept (if not for that evil $400 billionaire trying to steal your retirement funds).

TIA I support rooting out waste fraud and abuse. Obviously. I do not support DOGE, because DOGE is not about that. The goal is/was to find a trillion dollars in savings to be used for tax cuts. The crowning jewel of DOGE was ending USAID, that I do not agree with as they did great work. Most of the "savings" from DOGE where legit expenditures approved by Congress. Maybe there will end up being some small savings but the program is already on its way out. Musk stole all the data, that's what he wanted. There were a bunch of lies told and laws broken, and I'm sure other things broken as well that we'll be finding out for years. If we want to stop waste fraud and abuse, bring back the IG's that Trump fired, conduct legal audits, etc. DOGE was a BS campaign to try and get bigger tax cuts. Oh did you get your DOGE rebate yet? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Voltaire 5,181 Posted 20 hours ago Trump focked up Canada's election. The sane candidate had a good chance to win four months ago. Also, how can anyone conclude that adding that many blue voters would improve the country? That's stupid on top of stupid. Leave them alone and give them California as an apology or offer to swap California for Alberta, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought he might have done something I wasn't aware of. Yeah, that was stupid. Not only did the Conservatives not win when they should have, Canada went ahead and elected an even further far-left party to replace the already far-left Trudeau. Like I said, the world has a far-left problem, not a far-right problem. Far-left ideologies have sewn so much destruction in the world it's a wonder that they're still around, much less having any political power. Humans don't learn anything from history. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
