The approach used by OW was probably always doomed to failure. Carney expected the impossible with his major projects concept: he expected the provinces come together and agree on a specific item, get all the locals on board that would be affected, and then present him with a list. Not going to happen. What was needed and is still needed is OW leading from the top. We are going to develop these resources, in these areas. It shouldn't be too difficult to come up with 5 projects that will improve the bottom lines in finance and in labour, that involve most Canadian regions. We need leadership and that is the one thing we have not seen. I will give him the benefit of the doubt for the moment and and yet to that last sentence.

The provinces are each resisting any changes on their own turf in hopes that the changes (and costs) will be borne elsewhere. Quel surprise. Any one of them is capable of continuing to remove any and all trade barriers unilaterally, and to pare down their own self-imposed business-inhibiting regulatory thickets. None really has a leader that capable.

It's easier to blame everything on Trump, rather than make changes that are within our control.

It can be both. Ultimately the status quo was upended by Trump, though we should have (and still should) make the changes needed on ourselves. Can’t control others actions but we can control our actions.

No idea where they are getting the data for this as the latest public census data in AB shows french, then Tagalog, then spanish with punjab in 4th place.

Regarding AB,
This shows Punjabi #1 in Edmonton and Calgary.

And it looks like some of the pressure is forcing a bit of damage control on PP’s part…Shots fired from Harper’s camp…
I’m a former senior aide to Stephen Harper. Pierre Poilievre is dismantling the principled, trustworthy Conservative Party we tried to build
Pierre Poilievre is dismantling the principled, serious Conservative Party Stephen Harper worked so hard to lead, writes his former advisor Dimitri Soudas.www.thestar.com
Poilievre says RCMP comments were directed at former commissioner
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says his accusations of political interference by the RCMP during former prime minister Justin Trudeau’s tenure were directed at the national police service’s former commissioner, not the institution itself.

You are clutching at straws thinking PP in damage control.
Read the news.
It’s damage control. And a bad one as well.
He’s getting it Even from his own side.

The head of the Customs and Immigration Union has little faith the PMMC's ability to deliver 1000 "new" BSOs. He testified in Committee that current recruit training barely keeps up with attrition producing roughly 600 new BSOs per year, with no concrete plans to increase recruit throughput at the CBSA College. Once the new 25 and out pension kicks in you can expect a minor exodus of long serving BSOs with no mechanism to replace them, let alone grow the force.

Who from his side? Dimitri been a Liberal for ten years now. Its your perspective, and I think (like you you only have an opinion here) your looking or hoping for something to happen. It won't.
-I seem to remember people vehemently defending Trudeau and look how that turned out.
-It seems the same people defended Jagmeet as "king maker" and now the NDP is hoping to revive itself (and Jagmeet can't go anywhere near the party without being lynched)
-I remember the same people defending the carbon"pricing" (tax) as a good thing, and the first thing Carney does is zero it out (not a bad thing but kind of hypocritical)
-I remember the same people insisting Poilievre would lose his seat and well, F me, they were right on that one.
-Then came the Poilievre has to win a by election, and booom, he did.
Lets wait and see how the leadership review goes (I suspect he will skate through)
On previous issues. SNC-Lavalin was still being investigated in parliamentary committee only 2 years ago and former crown attorney, now CPC MP Larry Brock had some scathing words back then for acting commissioner (now commissioner) of the RCMP, said ight to his face.
We still have 2 more issues that are "not forgotten" by any means, the arrive scam (which parliament voted on getting the money back, lets see if there is follow through) and the Green slush fund (where did the $400 million go?).
In the EXACT words of Pierre Poilievre, where was he wrong (assuming you actually watched the podcast, which I can safely bet you didn't).

High unemployment and people aren’t taking jobs. Unreal. Golden pension and great health care benefits.
Does no one want to work in this country anymore?

Can we all take a moment to thank Trudeau for his service.
Justin Trudeau’s 10-year election anniversary post did not go over well with Canadians

We need to increase immigration and TFW!
Plenty of conservative pundits have. Larry Brock couldn’t even comment that it was an ok thing and referred any question to PP. ringing defence…
Not hoping for anything. It’s just what happened.
What does any of that have to do with what just happened? Is Your jaundiced account in trying to portray your revision of those things and how they were presented a twisted weird way to say you have some sort of predictive ability to say I told you so? Christ, go back and read your unhinged rants rants and get a reality check.
Conditions are being set so I agree.
Again, it has nothing to do with what he said.
Correct. I don’t watch fringe media like that. If there is context to the clip that has been circulating go ahead and explain it.
He said what he said.
He then doubled down later and stood by what he said.
Then changed what he said with an explanation after the weekend.
It’s text book damage control. Rick. What’s the saying about explaining?
Your boy took a hit and looked bad doing it. It will likely go away eventually but it only highlights how absolutely divisive he is in attacking and undermining institutions that is beneath what an aspiring PM should be.

Quantity of applicants is not the problem. Quality of applicants is the problem.
Money and benefits doesn’t motivate Gen Z and Zellenials. Lots of institutions including our own haven’t understood what does motivate them and haven’t pivoted to that.

More probably would consider benefits if we marketed right, having a pension at 25 years sounds really good when living pay to pay without being able to save for retirement
