That's the stuff toddlers do. I would hope you are better than that nope Ricky you know better than that. Its people that e.g., continue to spread vaccine disinformation. How many times should someone "post a fact" with someone like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This deal was the straw. Singh could make a case to voters either way. JT's only play was to make a deal. With polling as it is, tanking the cooperation deal would have been political suicide for JT like we haven't seen since Kim Campbell.

Zero. Why jail them for a decade each? Revenge is the only reason I can think of and I don't think that is a valid reason really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way, PP is taking away something very real from them. Edited February 23 by Bob Long 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oops, already started doing that. they have, some very good ones. I was thrilled to see Sim, Eby and Hair Boy come together for 2 billion for co-op style housing. I've been yammering about that solution for years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn't specify what slices of that demographic committed more or worse crimes than other slices...the number is extremely low. Like EXTREMELY low. less than 1 tenth of one percent.

Bob Long Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Whats really great about the pharmacare announcement is it really shows the power of positive engagement and belief in the country. We're just deciding to do it, nothing was in the way whatsoever other than political posturing. This is why Poilievere's "broken" message is so damaging to the Canadian psyche. He wants you to think nothing is possible. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wants you to think nothing is possible. To those who make the "broken" claim, the problems should be easily identifiable. When something is broken, solutions also become readily identifialble. So, for every "broken" claim, provide the solutions. Otherwise, your bitching means nothing. Thus far, PP is nothing but a whiny bitch. A whiny bitch that needs to put up or shut up. But for his fans, his bitching is all the substance they need. Edited February 23 by the destroyer of worlds 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes there was a drop in Q423 among Libs and NDP, but I suspect things like todays pharma deal will bump that up significantly. Maybe PP needs to stop telling the CPC base that they live in a hell hole? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
