Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

This guy sure is something.

Wife of terror group ‘member’ backed by public safety minister does not live in his riding: documents​

Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree’s claim that he was helping a constituent when he lobbied federal officials to let a terrorist group “member” resettle in Canada is contradicted by documents on the case, a Global News investigation has found.

In defending letters he wrote before he joined cabinet that urged border security officials to approve the immigration application of a suspected member of the Tamil Tigers, Anandasangaree has said he assisted the man’s Canadian wife as an MP.

“That a constituent, a Canadian citizen, with a Canadian child, would want to reunite her family in Canada is not unusual,” Anandasangaree said in a July 14 statement explaining the letters he penned in 2016 and 2023.

Standby for another statement from Carney saying he still has confidence in him.

Possible
Or he could be the first to be turfed

did they let him in? is my question. Did a lowly civil servant have the unmitigated gall to rule against a member of the government. If he\she did they deserve on of those bonuses they hand out to the senior ranks/poets.

Fingers crossed, but wouldn’t bet this is THE straw breaking the camel’s back. Love to be wrong though.

Oh no, no no no good sir...

Every single day this Liberal government stays in power I am forced to really expand my visceral understanding of just how fucked something can be really get.

Personally, I kinda wanna see just how absolutely f**ked this camels back can actually get before it "breaks"



(I say "breaks" because if we time traveled back to the 1990's or even the first decade of the 2000's, and we compared the level of competence & professionalism from then to our government of now, I think we would mostly agree things have gotten progressively worse. I think the camel's back broke a while ago...)



I'm at the stage now where I'm just eating popcorn and watching the whole thing play out like I'm at a dinner theater

Wasn't sure where to put this. But the thread on our current parliamentary make up seemed relevant.

Makes sense. It’s there, it’s built, it’s already successfully expanded on its current footprint, it’s not running at capacity yet but it’s getting there… This is a logical project to look at to introduces efficiencies to what’s already there. If they can put more oil through the same pipe, great.

Make it happen

Question is? What happens if industry says no?

Have you ever known industry to say no to money, or the potential to money?

 

[brihard]

Then they say no. This isn’t about building a new pipe, it’s about building infrastructure to insert additives to the oil at the point of departure so it flows faster with less friction, and I would assume remove the same at the other end. This isn’t some big government sponsored infrastructure cost, it’s an upgrade on existing stuff where they need to assess if it’s worth the CAPEX to do it. That’s mostly a business decision.

I was more thinking the political impact of saying no, it would kind of blunt alberta premiere Smith demanding more projects if industry is saying, na we good for now. After all this seems like a simple and very quick project of adding additives to the pipeline.

Conservatives still lead in party fundraising as Liberals close in

OTTAWA - The Conservatives are still bringing in more through donations than any other federal political party, but their fundraising has dropped since the spring election.

www.thecanadianpressnews.ca

The Tories raised just over $9.1 million in the quarter that ended in June, reporting donations from 82,681 people.
That outpaced the Liberals, who brought in $7.7 million from more than 116,000 donors. The new figures bring the governing party's total in the first half of this year to just over $21.3 million — already more than its 2024 total of $14 million.

The incredible turnaround of the Federal LPC under Carney continues.

The NDP's numbers have been steady this year, with more than 38,149 people giving the party $1.9 million in the last quarter. It brought in $1.8 million from 37,538 donors in the first three months of 2025.
The party raised about $6.3 million total in 2024, according to quarterly results posted by Elections Canada.
The New Democrats lost official party status in the April election, winning just seven seats. Political strategists have warned they're in a challenging financial position, with election loans to repay and far less money coming in from Elections Canada.
The federal elections agency pays rebates for candidates who win more than 10 per cent of the vote in a given riding during an election. Fewer than 50 of the 343 New Democrat candidates reached that threshold in the recent election, compared to more than 230 in the 2019 and 2021 races.

The woes of the Federal NDP also continue.

Well, I had some faith that Mark Carney could get some results (never believed he could match Pierre's proposals), however I am losing faith very quickly in PM MC. He is still better than Trudeau (hell, my lazy cat#3 could do a better job).

I am not liking that he didn't sit parliament through summer, although I am glad some committees are sitting (Freeland and Robertson got grilled hard over the $1 billion infrastructure loan to BC ferries for China to build them, and they deserved it), the excuse passing between different federal ministers (who claim to be upset about BC deciding to go with China) is unbelievable. And frankly, its more of the same old Liberal BS.

Lets face it, he was blown right off by Trump (I believe the final straw to break that camel's back was his out of line comments about recognizing Palestine as a state, WITHOUT parliament's consent), we are looking at 35% tariffs, but not to worry, it only applies to a few things. What the fuck do you think Trump will do when CUSMA renewal comes up? If any of this is an indication of how things are going, its going to get a lot worse. But feel free, die hard Liberals to keep carry Carney's water. Elbows up my ass, it don't amount amount to shit if your laying on your back after Trump has flattened you.

Bill C-5 amounts to what seems very little. I thought projects of national interest would be built (Build, baby, build?). BC Premiere David Eby (the worst premiere IMO) playing stupid "I don't know anything about pipelines being built...". And of course, the ultimate scape goat is "Need first nations buy in..." Yeah, because First Nations will all unanimously agree to anything.

Don't even long wind explain to me about his conflicts of interest (That should have come out during the ELECTION, NO BULLSHIT!)

So my question is, who is Mark Carney beholden to? Is he still got Trudeau era Liberals that are telling him not to do things? or what he should do?

Can I trust his commitment to defence spending will go through or is that another "expendable promise"?

We were told during the election we are in the greatest "crisis of our lifetime", yeah sure, it doesn't seem like it to me when he has time to hug a naked dude at a pride parade.

EU got a deal, England got a deal, Pakistan got a deal done, its an exhaustive list. Us? Nope. Thats what you get with Liberals.

Buckle the hell up, its going to get a lot worse. Only now, the same Always-vote-Liberal crowd will blame our dire economy on Trump. Its Carney that failed, bottom line. Sure, give me long winded justifications and excuses, he is the leader of the nation and promised BIG, and he has failed miserably.

Many of you disagree with me, dismiss me as stupid or ignorant (or both), or insult me (go for it), however I haven't seen an improvement in anything in Canada except we are constantly growing a bigger deficit.

The solution? Give your a head a shake and vote CPC already, get over the hair splitting bullshit you lot constantly complain about Pierre. I get sick of that too, Liberals get a wide berth in EVERY mis-step they take, but the CPC so much as farts in the wrong way, and its call to lynch them.

Things are going to only get really fucking bad in this country, and it won't stop until the sense of entitlement Liberals are out.

I hope I am wrong. Deeds not words.

 

[Quirky]

The only thing I've seen out of Carney since the election are meetings and talks, no real action or substance, just more word salads. This government is the same status quo Liberals just with a different head on the snake. This country is an embarrassment.
