Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

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.

It will be over several years.

It will be over several years.

The union head pointed out that the current throughput of the CBSA college barely meets today's attrition. As I mentioned in an earlier post, once the promised 25 and out pension kicks in, attrition will be even higher, making the dream of adding 1000 new officers even harder to attain and maintain.

For sure, so they need to address the training system as well. The RCMP faces the same issue.

I think you're hemming in the question to suit your biases.



That's how I would phrase it. Making one choose between Liberal or Liberal is very... Liberal.

Well that's because it's a two part question. Game theory time. If you are a CPC voter, and your choices (well not really YOUR choices because no one individual could decide this) were to forestall an election and be happy with a Liberal minority, or force an election and risk a Liberal majority.

... Pierre calling out the LEADERSHIP of the RCMP, and oh fucking surprise, the CBC wants to try and keep the story going ...

Just for the record, he dinged both the force AND leadership in the interview, saying (twice) the RCMP covered things up, while also saying "the leadership of the RCMP is, just frankly, just despicable when it comes to enforcing laws against the Liberal government" Here's where that bit starts ....

So while he dissed the leadership, he also dissed the group as a whole. He seemed pretty relaxed during the whole interview on this small c-conservative podcast, so maybe he wasn't as disciplined and precise as he would have been elsewhere, who knows?

That said, I also agree with this ...

... If you are trying to sound less Trump, advocating for jailing your political opponent is a bad way to do it ...

... as well as this ...

... 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 ...

I'm prepared to cut PP a bit of slack if he really thinks he's needing to feed the base so much to keep his leadership position - although I can't see any truly realistic threat, no matter what some of media commentariat says.

A few big(ish) names complaining is one thing (and worth more than zero to consider as atmospheric post-it notes), and that could be the thin edge of the wedge, but I haven't seen too much public sign of insurgency from others wanting the Blue Crown.

On the other hand, this continues to fuel the narrative of "he's not campaigning to be PM, with solutions and alternatives, he's campaigning against Trudeau - again." This is bang on as well ....

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

So far, in general, I haven't seen him change his tack from the last campaign all that much. That may change if Carney doesn't have too many visible deliverables in a bit from the fight with POTUS47 & Co., when he'll have newer ammunition to use.

That depends.

Does the election come with Liberals banning more guns, bringing up abortion, or talk of Canada CRUSHING Trump if we just vote for them?

As opposed to the other side saying mostly "Trudeau BAD," even after PMJT was gone?

Include that too.

Well, Trump is still dissing Biden and Obama so....

I'm sure Carney is one step away from blaming Harper for something.
