Probably no other leader, including Justin Trudeau, has landed in a party leadership with less real-world work experience than Pierre Poilievre, says Don Martin in a column for CTVNews.ca. But Poilievre's an able communicator, and this weekend's Conservative convention is a golden opportunity for him to sell himself as...
I’ve voted NDP more than I have conservative. I dislike many things about Poilievre, but I believe he’s got the best chance of reigning in inflation and housing issues. He’s proposing playing hardball and that plays with a lot of Canadians right now who are feeling the absolute shitshow of the last 8 years.
I would love to support the NDP, I’m a union tradesman and they used to be my party. Jack Layton should have been PM in 2011, and it still hurts thinking of how quickly we lost him shortly thereafter. Jagmeet doesn’t do it for me, you’re right he comes off as a pretender trying to lower himself to be one of “us”.
I’m optimistic on Poilievre playing hardball with the country for what I think matters most in this election which is inflation and housing. I don’t like everything he has to say, especially the crypto bullshit which thankfully he dropped, but maybe he and the conservatives are what we need to get things back on track.
The plan so far is to build 1 million homes in three years. They plan on attaining this by playing hardball with those who get in the way, municipalities and the NIMBYS who govern them are going to have federal funding withheld for getting in the way of new housing starts. There’s also going to be extra funds granted for jurisdictions that go beyond the “quota”. A lot of our housing issues are due to red tape and local government interference. To paraphrase, he’s said if those municipalities don’t want to play ball that’s fine, but their easy federal cash is going to be given to those that make it easy to build housing. As for inflation if I recall correctly he wants to limit new carbon taxes, I’d have to look up if he wants to reverse all or some of what is already in place.
Dude last election the conservatives won the popular vote. You’re saying a third of Canadians aren’t… Canadian? Get out of your parents basement or whatever echo chamber you’re living in and see that there’s a lot more grey than the black and white you’re spitting. This is why people don’t take hard lefties seriously because of your absolute dogshit zealot takes.
The federal Liberals are seeing a dive in popularity among younger voters, once the core of their base, falling 23 points behind the Conservatives by the end of August, according to new polling from Nanos Research.
In Atlantic Canada, where the Liberals have dominated to different degrees in the past three elections, the government's major climate policy plank, carbon pricing, is a bust.
I know the program is different from province to province but the criteria to qualify in BC absolutely sucks. Two people working full time on minimum wage with or without a child don’t even qualify for a full credit. Literally only the lowest earners or those on disability or the like get all of it.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has been hitting the summer barbecue circuit with ramped-up rhetoric around debunked claims that the World Economic Forum is attempting to impose its agenda on sovereign governments....
Whether he holds those views himself or not is hard to nail down. My best guess is that he’s likely pandering for votes. Playing it smart by keeping the door open but being noncommittal.
Fuck Telus. I switched to Shaw as one does when their promo is up and those shitstains have called me a few times a week since I switched to try and offer me deals to come back. Every time I say no, please remove me from your list and every fucking time they call back.
I usually switch between to get the cheapest deals without any hassle but if they keep this shit up I might put some effort into staying with Shaw if they’ll be reasonable on the price.

Title. We keep ours at 75F, parents do 77F, and in laws 68F. It made me curious what everyone else keeps theirs at?
