Do you honestly think he is that stupid? Lol. Tough fucking times for the left wingers right now. hey also took photos with them and also had various conservative senators and MPs stop in to say hi and shake hands From their PM hopeful knowing literally nothing ever about the people he keeps hanging out with to their MPs also managing to know nothing about how they are associating with it's kind of sad.

Bring up an unproven theory about politician A's pension and others just might counter with common knowledge about politician BA's pension. You've been around long enough to know this place.

Most centrist support green energy, and lots of progressive ideology. Hey LB. Sorry mate, if the CPC is the centrist option we're screwed. I have read over their manifesto/platform and it is so full of social politics it is insane. As well regarding reducing corporate taxes, the issue is it also suggests and insinuates that that lost $ will be pulled from other places. That inevitably ends up meaning less services at higher costs. There are good people in the CPC party. With smart ideas. But the CPC is exactly the same as the Libs. Top down and beholden to the party line. Centrists, they are not 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s very strange behaviour for an adult to do this. Alf, this is about the most logical thing I have seen you post in here. You're right. What average person sees a super random back bencher in public in a restaurant and says I need a photo with them! Like nobody, ever.

This is from January What Canadians surveyed think about the timing of the next federal election Nearly one in two Canadians would prefer the next federal election take place before 2025, according to a recent survey conducted by Nanos Research. When it comes to their preference for the timing of the next national vote, 46 per cent of survey respondents indicated they either wanted the next election to happen as soon as possible, or in 2024. Based on the Nanos survey(opens in a new tab), just 33 per cent of respondents said they'd prefer to wait the full four years before having to cast their next federal ballot, in 2025. https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/what-canadians-surveyed-think-about-the-timing-of-the-next-federal-election-1.6709260 Not sure where you are getting your information from...

Singh, regardless of any outcome of seats for his party next election, is under zero threat of losing HIS riding. His pension is under less than zero threat regardless of when an election happens. Like most conservative arguments, it's full of holes and crumbles under any actual scrutiny. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
