Kinda like that FDR guy.  Minus the war I guess but still. There were a lot of dictators around in those days so I guess one more didn't matter much.

 

Now I know how you feel about JT; you know how I feel.  I just thought that statement was a bit over the top.


There were no term limits in 1940 when FDR ran for a 3rd term. Something that the USA fixed like almost 100 years ago. 

Maybe it’s time Canada fixed the problem too?

the liberals do have some good ideas. Do you like increased oil and gas production, e.g.? I'm sure you do. 

 

Many folks are very happy with the start of pharma and dental programs, theres another one.

 

Billions are being put into new housing projects, oops there's one more. 

 

Last I heard 8 dentists had signed up for your free dental. The subsidy is not enough to entice them 
 

your house building works out to about 2k per house. It won’t pay for the windows 

 

do some research

And add in an amendment to remove a govt from office if it’s not following the will of the people

So you’re saying the carbon tax doesn’t lower global temperatures or that over Canada

 

great you agree 

 

so why are we paying it? Isn’t it to help lower global temperatures? Or is it simply a govt money grab?

 

 

Once again, you show that you're clueless when it comes to this subject. I suggest you read this: https://www.canucksfanforum.com/topic/35-climate-change-thread/#comments

Term limits came in 49 so 75 years ago.  Canada's gonna Canada.  We'll see what they do.

There is absolutely no data anywhere, ever, that shows any kind of government social spending increase decreasing poverty in correlation. So please, everyone needs to stop with this leaving the poor people behind bullshit.


 

So no data exists to show a correlation? Or just no data you’d accept? Statscan disagrees.

Pharma and dental programs have nothing to do with the Liberals. They actually rejected them. It’s the NDP that got them passed because they threatened calling a non confidence vote on Trudeau. 
 

As for housing, Trudeau has had 9 years. Why did it take him so long to implement some changes?  Do we need to wait another 9 years for any more new housing projects?

Remember when Trudeau used the Emergencies Act to suppress the Freedom Convoy...then it was ruled unconstitutional in Jan 2024?

remember how it is being appealed- as either 'side' would have done.

 

This is Supreme Court bound- and always was.

by a provincial court, which is under appeal. Just to keep this in the realm of facts. 

 

Those convoy twits shitting on peoples lawns sure won some hearts out there though.

Are you really complaining about somebody not answering a question?  Somehow I do not expect a response though you may feel trapped and just have to answer now.  Please don't bother.

Over time, reducing emissions will lower temperatures globally, so the answer is yes. The purpose of the CT is to limit the use of fossil fuels, which would reduce emissions.

 

I can't explain it in greater detail to someone with no understanding of Climate Change, so you'll have to read through the thread to achieve a greater understanding. Rest assured, all of your questions have been addressed in that thread. Many times.

thats funny, they are the ones also voting for it, and actually implementing it.

we all dropped the ball on housing, as well you know. No one was going to want the equity party to end, and coming from someone like you supposedly in the business thats really funny.

No.   I remember a single judge reluctantly ruling in that way in order that the Supreme court may give a final answer on the matter.   Please stay tuned.

If the carbon tax is doing its job 

 

global temperatures should have declined

 

did the weather gods the libs pray to get angry or something? Do we need to pay the gods more taxes? 

 

Trudeau can’t balance a budget but thinks he can alter the weather 

 

amazing 😂

But a commission where Trudeau appointed the commissioner said otherwise. So the federal courts must be wrong. Oh and the Supreme Court hasn’t ruled yet. You know the Supreme Court has to rule on everything. Lower courts shouldn’t even exist really. Just send every case right to the top.
