He's a special case for sure.

That man is a crook, always has been.

The trouble is that Conservative policy isn't particularly attractive under close examination, consisting chiefly of austerity programs and favours to the corporate sector. They need the distraction of giving voters something to be angry about.

Where are you getting your numbers from pgs? In BC the percentage of the healthcare workforce lost due to vax refusal ranges from one percent to under four percent, depending which health region you are looking at. Two thirds of those were casual workers, and some health authorities report...

What;s your point ? Singh shouldn't be able to change his mind when an opportunity to further NDP goals comes up? And yes, responsible opposition in parliament is the ways things should work, but most of what the CPC does is best described as obstructionist and muckraking. I'd love to see...

That's my point, we don't know what the future holds for this. Assuming that there will be "outlandish demands" is unfounded at this stage of the game.

I get why conservatives are fuming over this, it does effectively slam the door on any dreams of a non-confidence vote the likes of PeePee might have had, but it's just politics. You'll never convince me that the "other side" wouldn't jump at any chance to gain power.

Yes, time will tell. That's fine with me, I've always been more for factual evidence than speculation.

Labour shortages in the health sector is a global issue, nothing in BC is any different that anywhere else. They'd love to hire more, but where from? The burnout rate is so high that it's not a particularly attractive field to go into these days.

Bought with promises of action on issues important to the NDP, universal dental and pharmacare.

JT and the Libs have bought themselves an insurance policy against non-confidence votes for the next three years, as a political strategy you can't argue against that. If the LIbs follow though on the promises made in exchange for NDP support this would be the largest expeansion of our public...

Yeah right Pee-pee. Fill yer boots.

A little political horse-trading going on, hardly anything new about that. The same goes for butt-hurt Conservatives who can't find anyone else willing to get on board with their policies, nothing new about that. Maybe a CPC/PPC/Maverick coalition ?

True that, oil and gas will be with us for a while yet, but future success depends upon moving in the right direction. What the people speaking about in the article linked to in the opening post is basically a long term solution to a short term problem, that goes against the long term solutions...

So would achieving these exports be possible with our current level of of gas-exporting infrastructure ? Or will it take a tanker load of money and years to accomplish ? From what I've read, large scale LNG exports are still some years in the future, and our current pipeline system is either...

It's going to be a horse race for sure. It's a bit of a crapshoot as to whether Poilievre has wide enough appeal to win the federal contest, and Charest is up against a serious challenge to win the party leadership. The CPC is just too diverse in it's internal differences, the polarization...

That discussion was over and done with a long time ago. He's not stupid, I'll give him that, he managed to finagle his way into the White House, but he sure as hell didn't deserve it.

Trump didn't create a strong economy, he inherited it, and everything was not as rosy as some would have us believe. His gross mismanagement of the pandemic has put many AMericans in a hole that it will take them years to climb out of, and it didn't have to be like that.

Thanks for that B00Mer, I'll put with the rest of your posts I've been collecting. Spring is coming and I'll need them for my garden. ;)

Do you think a "Trump-like" individual would gain traction outside those already voting conservative, or even get sweeping support within the party ? Most of the people I know look to what went down in the US under Trump with either disgust or horror, nothing we'd want in Canada. We're just too...
