Liberal (Minority/Majority) Government 2025 - ???

[ArmyRick]

Stepping away from the 2025 election results for Brantford-Brant South riding (Trump was the big wild card and in my opinion was the key influence in that election and Jagmeet crapped the bed huge taking the NDP mostly out of play)
In the previous 2021 election it was
-CPC 26,668
-LPC 18,784
-NDP 12,950
-PPC 5,634
-Green and Indys 2,000 or so

So this is potential battle ground. That being said, it depends on who the NDP runs, as you can see from the 2021 election result, they were a major factor in this riding.

Former Mayor Kevin Davis is well known and very popular for some and strongly disliked by others. He is the CPC candidate. Their is also a former Conservative running as an independent.

The LPC started massively campaigning last week in the riding so everyone knew the by elections were being called very soon.

As Warren Kinsella says "Which party gets their base out the strongest will win" .

That being said, if this riding is lost, many are saying the party may ask Pierre to step down (some of you are pretty excited about that prospect).

Brock gave Carroll (the now Independent) his endorsement just the day prior to Davis being crowned the CPC candidate, bypassing the traditional nomination process. It's going to be messy.

Whoops. Bad look for Morneau.

Worth noting that this same ethics commissioner has found former PM Trudeau in breach of Conflict of Interest on a previous investigation (SNC Lavalin), so he’s willing to hold Trudeau accountable when the facts of an individual investigation support it.

Bad look for CIBC

I am excited by the thought that the CPC may finally sort its crap out, and provide an electable alternative to the Liberals.

But would they stand for office knowing that the first time around would possibly be a sentence of 4 years in opposition. I can think of Rona and perhaps Candice as electable candidates.

Both have made it clear they are done with politics and have moved on. Not an option.

In the banking world CIBC has the nickname as ‘The Bank that runs with scissors.’

Prediction. I will reveal my sources later. The LPC has a lot of explaining to do with illegitimate and fraudulent fund raising for the 2025 federal election.

Will see if it affects St Carney or not.

If you’re alleging fraud now why not show some receipts now?

Is it related to this?

Friend, we can support the party without supporting he leader. I dont hate PP. He did what he was intended to do.

Just like I can love Canada and despise the Gov.

PP needs to go, Carney and the LPC are starting show sings of weakening and we need someone who Canadians can find inspiration from and finally pull us out of this world LPC division and mismanagement.

Perfectly sustainable when all your growth seems to be sitting on top of a bubble...what a bloody house of cards.

Oooookay.

Sure.

That's going to be awesome for all the rampant water usage, given the sustained droughts they are already seeing. What a huge waste of energy, and the majority of it is for generating complete nonsense using far more energy than skilled people could do.

Hes saying 20% of their economic growth is tied up in a product of questionable benefit which appears to be sitting on a bubble. That bubble is also causing problems throughout the economy beyond the usual means because its sucking up so much capital that money for more productive ventures such as industrial or commercial development is drying up. Hell its affecting the housing market by making labour more scarce as primes are willing to pay so much for construction trades. Its unsustainable.
