Harper lost in 2015, Scheer lost in 2019, O’Toole lost in 2021 and there’s no reason to believe Poilievre will succeed where every post-Harper Conservative has failed. Recent polls show the Liberals still ahead of the Conservatives in national vote intentions and Poilievre’s personal favourability deep in negative territory with the broader electorate, despite strong support from Conservative delegates.
Not a liberal just a conservative that’s tired of losing. Until the conservative party moves away from Trump and promotes a platform that will attract swing voters. The conservatives will continue to lose.
I never rejected him and he was and will always be my favourite Prime Minister. He was stately, respectful and respected. I have missed his leadership for 11 years. I think Pierre could be the next best if only given a chance.
Carney's new electric vehicle plan includes reintroducing a $5,000 incentive for EV purchases, delaying the timeline for full EV adoption to 2035, and focusing on reducing greenhouse gas emissions rather than mandating a specific number of electric vehicle sales. This on the heels of an agreement to bring Chinese EVs to Canada. Hmmm, somehow we're saving or growing Canadian industry.
What's worse is that there is no looming climate catastrophe. Why the incessant focus on climate related initiatives instead of Canada's economic welfare?
Global warming is not an existential threat. The USAs Department of Energy report,
" A Critical Review of Impacts of Greenhouse
Gas Emissions on the U.S. Climate", is a good place to start understanding that. However, our stumbling and stallng economy is a very real threat to Canadians. We definitely do not need more Carney.
Why are we giving incentives to US cars when we have a tariff on Canadian cars, plus we are bringing in Chinese EV's and are the same time bragging about saving the auto industry?
So the US gets the incentive money for their cars using taxes paid by the Canadian auto industry and auto workers. Cheap EV's flood the market which probably good for Canada's EV market.
I guess I just don't understand liberal policy decisions.
I think about it at least once a week. What a great loss for all of us. I remember when Canada lost its direction in 2015. I was in shock and hoping it would pass quickly. But when it happened again, and again, and again I was crushed (how could that be?). I still am crushed, absolutely devastated - financially, as are all Canadians. We have fallen so hard.
How far will we fall before we get a change? Like the First Trudeau Of the 70's and 80's people refused to concede that we were on the wrong path. We will make this mistake again. some how Canadians think we can defy finical gravity.
We are “Leading the G-7 in…..” is the latest Liberal mantra du jour. Leading in what exactly? Lost investments? Lost development? Lost potential? Bureaucracy and corruption? PM Mark Carney has been a massive disappointment.
Trade talks aren’t “stalled” because Carney failed to flatter Trump — they’re stalled because Trump uses tariffs on everyone, allies included, as leverage. Canada isn’t special, and no amount of chest-thumping would change that.
Calling Carney “submissive” is flatly dishonest. He’s explicitly said the U.S.-led rules-based order no longer protects middle powers and that Canada must reduce dependence on any single market (a point Harper also made) including Washington. That’s the opposite of kissing up.
Harper governed in a different era, with a different U.S., under a functioning trade system. Pretending his approach would magically work today isn’t analysis it’s just selective memory.
Oh, please to blame everything on Trump is a joke. Repeal the laws that are keeping our country from creating wealth. Stop giving our youth’s jobs away to Temporary foreign workers. Build a pipeline from Alberta to Quebec so we don’t need foreign oil. Why does this government do nothing, but talk??
I think Carney doesn't want to have to act for Canadians some just keeps talking and blaming his inaction on Trump. Where are all these things that he said would be happening at lightening speed. All BS to try to keep us happy.
Yes, carney is certainly doing the opposite of kissing up. Not saying that is what he SHOULD be doing. But he should be coming to the table, honestly, to make the best possible deal for canada...make canada great again, eh?
Personally, i don't need to listen to his speech. I don't live in canada...i just have loved ones who do...maybe they should listen. But i can observe from the outside..and have been doing so for 45 years...and it ain't been pretty for quite some time...
You are correct. I do not live in canada. But i spend 5 months every year there. And have done for many years. I've watched my loved ones suffer increasingly terrible healthcare, high taxes, terrible public education, increased crime and injustice. And while i am there, i am appalled at the rude and dangerous driving on the roadways, the decline in the conditions in restaurants and the quality of the restaurant food. The price of food is astounding. The decrease in rural access to services like banking, service ontario, police response, access to medical care. I've watched the demise of local businesses, tourism, historic sites. And now this govt wants to destroy so much of the frontenac biosphere and the unesco historic site: the rideau canal, for a high speed train that will not serve the locals at all, since it won't stop between toronto and ottawa....should i keep going?
Wokeism changed our country, it changed our universities and how they teach now, it changed what used to be liberal into socialism, it changed our police academies into hot beds for dei, it changed our healthcare system to use maid extensively,and abort indiscriminately , it changed our population by allowing so many unvetted people to sponge off our money, also the military seriously needing tampons! so yeah this was all created by JT and is being upheld by our now socialist government.
The jobless numbers are cooked. After a month of someone looking for work and not finding any and giving up they are removed from the jobless. So it’s not the number went down the corrupt Liberals just cooked the books. Not that they were concerned any voters would bother to check the numbers. They have been lying for months now because they know the truth makes them look incompetent, sorry Liberals long before your shell game we knew you were incompetent. Watch Market Mania Canada. Luke does a great job of showing all the tricks the Liberals use because they aren’t concerned anyone would take the time to find out if they are true. No future in Canada for the youth, and you know things are bad when educated newcomers are getting the hell out of this sewer Canada
Yes we miss the Harper era, and Stephen Harper;
yet we look forward to electing a Conservative government led by Pierre Poilievre.
Yes, fifth time lucky 🍀
Pierre has only had one election as leader of the Conservatives, to my recollection.
He was possibly referring to losses since 2015, Harper, Sheer, O’Toole and Poilievre.
Harper lost in 2015, Scheer lost in 2019, O’Toole lost in 2021 and there’s no reason to believe Poilievre will succeed where every post-Harper Conservative has failed. Recent polls show the Liberals still ahead of the Conservatives in national vote intentions and Poilievre’s personal favourability deep in negative territory with the broader electorate, despite strong support from Conservative delegates.
Okay, Liberal. Continue to watch Canadians get poorer. Good job 👍
Not a liberal just a conservative that’s tired of losing. Until the conservative party moves away from Trump and promotes a platform that will attract swing voters. The conservatives will continue to lose.
Equating the Conservatives with Trump is a tell, Mr. Not-a-Liberal.
I have missed him for ten years. This country never appreciated him and the media was fixated on social awkwardness instead of his good policies.
I never rejected him and he was and will always be my favourite Prime Minister. He was stately, respectful and respected. I have missed his leadership for 11 years. I think Pierre could be the next best if only given a chance.

Their decisions are misguided and haven't been good for Canada's economy.

Imported voters and vote buying along with the imbalance of ridings from East to West will ensure that the Marx Madness continues.
🤣
Yes, Mr. Harper is one of the best Prime Minister of Canada!
Come on Brian this is just lazy nostalgia.

No deal is better then a bad deal. Canada did quite well without CUSMA. I suggest you listen to Harper’s speech again. Eh?
Personally, i don't need to listen to his speech. I don't live in canada...i just have loved ones who do...maybe they should listen. But i can observe from the outside..and have been doing so for 45 years...and it ain't been pretty for quite some time...
You can observe and form opinions without listening that sounds exactly like someone who doesn’t live in Canada.
You are correct. I do not live in canada. But i spend 5 months every year there. And have done for many years.

Smith negotiated a sweet deal. Why can't Carney?
News Flash - Smith didn’t get a “sweet deal”, she got meetings and talking points. Provinces don’t negotiate U.S. trade policy; Ottawa does.
What she got and five bucks will get you a fancy coffee.
The US tariff on Alberta O&G is 10%.
Can you explain why the trade talks failed? I don't remember any analysis beyond "Trump".
Wokeism changed our country, it changed our universities and how they teach now, it changed what used to be liberal into socialism, it changed our police academies into hot beds for dei, it changed our healthcare system to use maid extensively,and abort indiscriminately , it changed our population by allowing so many unvetted people to sponge off our money, also the military seriously needing tampons! so yeah this was all created by JT and is being upheld by our now socialist government.

Yes!
Do you think we’re complete idiots? You can’t test any numbers coming out of the US. For Canada to even remain stable is an accomplishment.
We are not remaining stable, by every metric we are circling the drain.
