Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

[Halifax Tar]

OK, jack-booted thug

I'm sorry, come again ?

 

[Halifax Tar]

To keep the leadership is a different question.

What I meant. Your word is better

If those number are correct I don't know how PP maintains leadership.

Question is, who replaces him.

I have a few on my list that would be good choices in my mind.

James Moore, Rona Ambrose. But I suspect the grassroots of the CPC wont be mature enough to let those two lead.

Just pointing out that gratuitous labels like Comrade etc do nothing to further the discussion.

Do you know something I don't ? Do you think Rona Ambrose is interested in coming back ?

Don't get me all excited just to let me down lol

The problem is it really seems the right flank of the party has control. More centrist PCs have very little sway in the party atm and those are the only tories that can get elected in Canada.

If you think the grassroots are not ‘mature’ enough to let those individuals lead then there is little to no hope for someone as competent as Micheal Chong.

I don’t. Just musing.

Not my goal. Just the conservatives have viable choices. Choices they likely won’t make unfortunately…

I think you might be right.

 

[Bruce Monkhouse]

I'm hoping that both PPCLI Guy and https://army.ca/forums/members/halifax-tar.6179/ have this out of your systems and the topic can carry on.

Thank you,
Bruce

Rona is quite busy in post political life, look it up, lots going on. And she has never indicated any interest in coming back.

It wouldn't matter who was in charge of the CPC, the CBC and MSM along with the hard left, will exercise any and all efforts of character assassination on the CPC leader.

And watching Mark Gerretson cry himself out in parliament

Equally, I cant think of anyone who could run for the LPC that I would be happy either.

The idea is to get less cars into Banff with this with a fixed ticket price of around $30-$35, It would travel between calgary and Banff, eventually being extended to Lake Louise, and Jasper, then loop over to Edmonton. I agree though HSR would be a better project

Cutting a new ROW through two national parks simply for tourism would be quite the engineering, financial and environmental feat.

If they follow the Parkway, they could slow down so passengers could get a distant glimpse of where a glacier used to be.

From Google the tracks are still there or at least a distinguishable roadbed right through to Banff and again from Banff to Lake Louise so that shouldn't really cost a lot unless they try and get fancy with the train sets. You could put a couple of steam locos on the run and cash in on the nostalgia customers as well. And with burning all that coal (or oil) we should be able to witness Guilbeault's head explode for further entertainment

The ROW is there to Banff and Lake Louise ((townsite) - that's the CPKC mainline. I assume the proposal plans to utilize or widen CPKC property. If the Rocky Mountaineer is any indication, it will come at a price; Class 1 railways covet the use of their own property closely and will secure future flexibility.

There has never been rail directly between there and Jasper (i.e. Icefields Parkway/Hwy 93) that I am aware of.

I am guessing that it is the CN mainline through Jasper. Be better to run two trains than try to link those 3 centres.
