OTTAWA - Pete Hoekstra, the U.S. ambassador to Canada, is warning Canadian politicians to stay out of American politics, saying officials are monitoring potential “political interference in the U.S. midterms.”

I don't really get maga humour. He's joking, right?

...and still down 31.1% compared to September 2024.

The part that is coincidentally not quoted by that account.

That number seemingly shrinks every month.

Seems like more and more Canadians are less and less committed...

Your point?

Not nearly as much as you think. Interestingly the spike of Americans visiting Canada is significantly bigger.

For the sake of clarity, here are the actual numbers.

I would argue peoples commitment to 'buy Canadian' for example seems to be some what lacking.

I'm glad Americans are coming here! Come spend money! Our weakening economic situation needs that.

If you're happy I'm happy. And I'll continue to watch the trend.

Classic Soviet misdirection. Accuse others of doing precisely what you are doing.

Interesting take from "independent journalist" Rachel Gilmore. I know many of you will be surprised I am posting one of her videos (I mean it when I say I listen to ALL sides of the political spectrum and not just pay it lip service)

I have said it before, the far left flank of the LPC is sliding away.

I think the LPC has learned that they can let the far left portion if their party leave, if they move back toward the centre where most voters exist. The far left push during the Trudeau The Lesser years was an anomaly.

We have to remember that Harper lost in 2015 much more than Trudeau won.

Note that that rejection of the CPC was the only time under Trudeau 2.0 that the LPC squeaked out a majority of seats in the House. Subsequent elections saw LPC minority governments despite CPC having greater national vote counts - if nothing else, the LPC vote is more efficient than the CPC vote.

Yup. Give away some votes on the left edge to pick up more in the center. It makes sense strategically.

Right now I think you're right.

But I think if winds start to blow left again the LPC will just abandon their new found positions. And hearled the return of Trudeau-esque policies. Canada is back, I think they said.

The LPC are not geniuses. They just listen to what the populace is upset about and say they're the guys to fix it.

They have no principles or standards. What ever will keep them in power, they will say. I have to hand it to that party they run campaigns to win elections, principals and policy standards be damned.

This altered sentence is also true. They are all the same.

That was never my claim, I believe we were talking about the LPC. But if that make you feel better, sure.

I do not see any downside to that

 

[RangerRay]

I do not see any downside to that

The NDP will pick up some seats again. M’eh.
