Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

[Halifax Tar]

Some people dont let their distaste for a single leader turn them off of a party forever. Im surenyoull find plenty of conservatives who have said they wont vote CPC while Pierre Poilievre is leader who will jump back once he eventually is gone.

Some of us also have no issue voting Green or NDP, having done so before.

I may look at the LPC again once then have been banished, like they should be, to clean up their act. But that's a big maybe.

I've been waiting since 2015 for the CPC to clean up their act, and they haven't. They have gotten worse.

The political wilderness is no guarantee of a reset.

If by political wilderness, you mean where the NDP got banished to? Sure.

The CPC has been very close last three elections ('25 election by popular numbers is 43% vs 41%), I would hardly call that political wilderness.

By political wilderness I mean out of power.

Biases are interesting things eh ?

Not sure I understand that in this context.

I would argue the CPC have been steadily improving. Even with PP they scored their largest numbers ever. My bias has me see things differently than you, with your biases.

What the CPC should do now is donate heavily to the NDP. And the LPCs worst fear right now should be a resurgent NDP.

Not going away.

I've been waiting, since the barbaric cultural practices hotline, for the CPC to be less reactionary. They have gotten more reactionary over the last 10 years.

Even with PP they scored their largest numbers ever.

I kind of feel that Harper in 2011 scored the biggest numbers for the CPC. But I count seats, not popular vote.

My bias has me see things differently than you, with your biases.

That's fair.

They should. They won't. But you're right.

Another car plant closing in Ingersoll says most don't give a shit about Pierre calling out the LEADERSHIP of the RCMP, and oh fucking surprise, the CBC wants to try and keep the story going. And the anti-Pierre crowd too, like you.

No I am not "angry", I just get a hoot at people who still think the CBC is relevant.

Would you like a different source for this? Just let me know,

Melissa Lantsman was on damage control mode with David Cochrane. Internal memo to all members to say nice things about the RCMP.

There also seems to be some discontent with some caucus members about all of this. Cracks. Not rebellion so calm yourself, no one is calling it that.

I understand though, it upsets you. You should be upset.

funny thing about numbers, it will always go up as the population increases, by total percentage of votes, they are pretty steady

I don't think we should be allowing people to immigrate here who will never contribute to our programs. We need young working age people with skills that we are lacking.

You don't like new Canadians bringing their 20 person families over so their aging relatives can retire on the taxpayers dime?

I don't really see the issue with what he said. Naturally anyone who doesn't like Poilievre will hold on to anything that they think discredits him.

Seems that a lot of people normally on his side aren’t thrilled. That isn’t the normal chorus of critics.

If you think Trudeau should be in jail then yes, I’m sure it’s fine. But the accusation especially about the senior leadership of the RCMP bordered on slander. If you are trying to sound less Trump, advocating for jailing your political opponent is a bad way to do it.

If you are vying to be PM, undermining the country’s institutions is not the best COA nor is it very appropriate.

As well, why is even talking about Trudeau. Again. Rick makes an excellent point about more important things to talk about, maybe he should stay focused on those. Tim Powers made a funny comment that of this keeps up he risks losing campaigning against Trudeau again.

His tone going into and out of his meeting with Carney was what he needs to sound like more.

 

[Haggis]

Could be. Attrition alone isn’t going to be enough.

That's gonna be a hard sell right after PMMC promised (again) to hire 1000 new Mounties and BSOs.

No, I don't.

The RCMP leadership is entirely competent and totally immune to their own political biases and political influence from others.

Do you doubt that ?

I do.

Yes but it will be at the expense of other departments and agencies.

If it happens at all. The head of the CBSA's union has already questioned whether or not this is even possible given the current recruiting and training system within CBSA.
