These two really stick in my craw. The actual effect will run completely contrary to his messaging and hurt the majority of his voting bases, but me. Devil will be in the detail but if that capital gain deferral includes real estate it's going to be like pouring gas on the fire that is the...

That better not be it. That is in no way a costed platform, it's just housekeeping to finally have a user friendly webpage.

Case in point: heard a radio spot for this multiple times across multiple different stations in the last week. https://seniors.ca/ Plain abject fear mongering by those of means, using disinformation so that they can use the electoral mass of those without to make needed reform too toxic to...

@Remius Perhaps pedantry- but I think an enema is the wrong perspective to take. I agree wholeheartedly with the general thought process of your last exchange, but the knife of "conservative's need to build a tent" cuts both ways. To me an enema suggests rejecting the PP/ Reform/ Populist...

In the decision the SCC points out that our 25 year minimum is apparently already high relative to peer nations (apparently). Our 25 year is settled law with multiple decisions backing it, why rock the boat when that's not the crux of the issue?

I find decisions like Nur and Bissonette personally frustrating- but I also have to remind myself that such decisions, and the court's role in making them, are an important check/balance against tyranny via law. It may seem like handwringing when it's about the literal worst in our society...

Legend has it that if you stare at your TV and say "Paul Gross" three times he'll hand deliver a DVD copy of Passchendaele within the hour.

I agree completely. Those need to be addressed 100% But at the same time, I think there has a been a systemic mis-application of macro scale ideals onto the micro scale situations We should be able to acknowledge the socioeconomic determinants and work to address them without allowing them...

Depends on the definition, whether you're going strictly financial or broadening to include other aspects. I would hope that the screen the commissioner is setting up takes into account the potential for personal ties and allegiances and their potential influences, beyond that of simple stock...

Technically it could present a relational conflict of interest, but yeah- different than a financial one, and they're still massive hypocrites playing at political theatre as they throw shit at the wall. Not to Jenni, all that matters is feeding the rage and keeping the base motivated.

The last two pages, a summary: "How could anyone support big tent party X???? The party includes and is therefore 100% defined by influence group y." "Stop bringing up influence group B! They don't define big party tent A, ignore them!"

Nail meet hammer. Bang on. Peter MacKay nailed it with the albatross comment. The CPC rejected him for it, on the strength of the SoCon wing. Then they rejected O'Toole for turning out to be too much like him, on the strength of the Maple Maga AND SoCon wings. But it's the electorate's fault...

Byrne and Poilievre have spent the last three years banging a very consistent messaging drum. That messaging has strongly resonated with a certain group of people. People who donate, show up cheering to the rallies, share the videos with a "damn right!". This is their base. Their base is not...

Clearly Poilievre was muzzled by his security clearance and NDA

What's a good debate, and how is the war room defining it? I don't think there's enough time (or an appetite) to redefine Poilievre in any sort of way that will land as genuine. And I don't think the two of them have the faintest clue as to actually sell their vision and bring undecided...

Required reading for anyone looking to understand the CPC dynamics of this election cycle. https://macleans.ca/longforms/jenni-byrnes-big-gamble/ Edit to add commentary: if the CPC loses this election- blame the ambition and ideological rigidity of Poilievre and Byrne.

Yeah, he's just stepped on an elevator and risen to the pinnacle of every organization he's been in by not be able to handle himself in a boardroom. Question his ties to China. Question whether he can temper his climate zealotry to match what Canada needs in this moment. Question whether he...

There is a fundamental difference between effective "boardroom" type engagement between peers and stakeholders, and parsing your words to connect with media consumers of all backgrounds and education levels, while simultaneously trying to guard yourself against gotcha's and reverse soundbites...

Given the money that needs to be spent on the CA as a whole, they must be damn good ones to justify the billion+ dollar delta. A sole source to the US for the significantly more expensive option, in this political and economic climate, is going to use up A LOT of the CAF's newfound public goodwill

No, regretably glib, but not obtuse. I'm pointing out that sometimes the CAF acts in ways that seemingly justifies the TB's level of scrutiny. The actual topic of this thread, the IFM project, for what will be potentially our only gun artillery? Mobility requirement is by c17, not Herc.. Leo's...
