As a Calgarian I do not want any flag other than the Canadian and Alberta flag flown! Are we Canadian or what?

Yup exactly my sentiments Karen… when the going gets tough the tough gets going… can’t be any worse than “ middle finger Trudeau’s” days as pm!

It’s already worse for lots of people, and the outlook for them isn’t exactly an encouraging one.

Even though this is a horrendous budget I'm glad we will not be having an election just yet. We still live in a Christian country so people will be busy with Christmas. Hopefully if we wait even the most die hard liberals may see the error of their ways, meaning I hope Carney and his bunch f*ck up royally.

Matt Shannon Idiot(I mean Idlout-had no clue which way she was supposed to vote) and Johns abstained. We had an elderly guy on council and one of his fellow councillors always had to whisper to him which way he was voting. Kind of like Idlout. Gazan looked like a moron too. And let’s hope this is the last time we hear from May in any meaningful way.

Toronto is so Woke, Queer and Godless, and when you throw in the Liberal Replacement Population and Future Voters , we don’t have a prayer. I’m sure Zohran Olivia Chow understands her base, so feed the hordes a flag.

He thinks there is a way to attract a majority of the boomers and still save the country. That is delusional.

Thinking about his some more. It is pretty clear that the Tories did not want an election and handled it the way they did because they could not count on the fact that the NDP and Liberals would not fuck it up. Smart, actually.

This budget is a disaster and I detest the “credit card” reference that Poilievre uses to describe it. It’s cheesy and cheapens his messaging - he’s too smart for that. That aside, I think the last-minute “technical difficulties” antics of the Conservatives were well-played. Economics Mastermind Carney now has his budget and will wear the consequences. He will also have all the glory as, if by some miracle, Canada starts showing signs of prosperity. I hope it does but Canadians, especially the younger ones, can’t wait 10 years to see a glimmer of future hope and there will be a confidence vote and election within a year. That gives time for Poilievre to work on his brand and the Conservative Party to win over Canadians who (God help us) vote for niceness over competence.

Please explain to me how PP is more “qualified” at understanding how economies and international finance work than Carney.

We are all witnessing the final days of a once beautiful country. Between the barbarian invasion of late, the Communist sympathizers from coast to coast, the capitulation to the UNITED NATIONS woke policies to bankrupt Western States, to the raising of terrorist flags at city halls. It appears that the Globalist utopia of Agenda 2030 will succeed. After that, no one will stop the march onto Agenda 2050 where all private property will cease to exist.

This confidence vote was Canadas last chance and the Commies won.

What is the betting line that Elizabeth May could become an "independent Senator" in the future?
