Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

... NDP needs a strong leader & party ...

Bit of an add-on, but THAT is also what many in the commentariat (of all colours) are saying will help maintain reasonable Team Blue results, too.

... canadians only care about fighting Trump ...

Well, if you believe Angus Reid, a lot of folks who say they voted Blue blame Trump for PP & Co. losing the federal election, so YMMV.

CPC support remained relatively equal, while the LPC only won because the socialists moved over after the collapse of the NDP. Canada is quickly becoming a two party system like the US, however it's unknown if the Liberals will go further left of the Democrats. NDP needs a strong leader because I don't think elbows up support will die too quickly, canadians only care about fighting Trump, which means doing nothing and wearing overpriced t-shirts and making tiktoks.

That’s an oversimplification. The NDP support did not all go LPC, not by a long shot. CPC picked up several former NDP seats; there’s some overlap in appeal to blue collar workers that those two parties compete over.

NDP lost some support to LPC.
NDP lost some support to CPC.
CPC lost some support to LPC.

The CPC holding steady was the product of both an outflow of some support to LPC, balanced by inflow of support from the collapsed NDP.

A resurgent NDP would come at the expense of both, but CPC would still need to claw back some of the lost swing vote who voted red this election. And it continues to appear that Poilievre specifically is part of that problem.

I had heard recently that PMMC wants to call another election prior to the American mid-terms.

Which makes sense. He is polling high and he needs DJT to keep Canadians scared. And I would surmise that DJT wont do well in the upcoming midterms.

I heard that this morning one of the news snippets, damn me if I could remember which one.

Time to reveal a dirty Armyrick secret. I spend 2-3 hours everyday looking after livestock. I put the various commentators on my phone and listen to them because the conversation with sheep or cattle gets boring really fast. That includes Moose on the Loose, Northern Perspective, CBC (yup, I still listen to Davey Cochrane), CTV, Juno News sometimes, Toronto Sun, I think its CPAC (the one that just records in parliament and committee and has ZERO commentary).

Today and tomorrow, I shovelling manure out of the sheep barn (and possibly here too, lets see). I usually end up listening to damn near everything podcast, news clips, sometimes committee hearings, etc.

One thing I can say, is I hear all three sides of the argument (Left, center and right). Does it mean I am all knowing? Hello no, far from it. I am biased based upon my my own experiences and how my life goes (as a veteran, farmer and a businessman)

There should be no such a thing as unpaid work in any profession.

Just reapportion the annual compensation over the time actually spent working.

I thought that was why salaries existed?

You get engaged by the year, not by the task or hour.

Edit: sorry for the wrong link.

The contract with the flight attendants (and it sounds like pilots as well) appears to pay by the hour, so it makes sense that at least part of the conflict is over when the meter starts running.

The Conservative platform isn’t that far off from the Democrats. It is 100% closer to the Democrats than the Republicans.

We don’t have a political party close to the Republicans currently (maybe the PPC). All our parties are pro free trade, pro choice, support some level of gun control (the level varies), etc.

Realistically Carney is governing pretty close to how I imagine PP would be governing with the exception of a few social issues (firearms being the main one).

I am curious as to what you think Canadians should do about Trump. Time is currently on our side (waiting for the courts to decide if his tariffs are legal or not). Making hasty deals when we could be giving up stuff for nothing isn’t in our best interest.
