True. But we will see costs of fossil fuels rise more steeply in areas where alternatives are available, like the transit levy in the GVRD.

That's part of the overall strategy for sure, economic "persuasion". Clearly, spouting off about the science has fallen on deaf ears for a few decades now.

Golly, it's like they want us to stop burning fossil fuels or something. Sheesh.

You can keep telling yourself that, but if you actually believe it you're an idiot. People keep voting for the left to keep the right out of power because they have shit to offer. That's why they keep going after the "angry vote", because they know better than anyone that an angry voter is not...

I'm calling bullshit on that.

It does. "Liberal overspending" is a favoured talking point for those who would support austerity measures, which invariably puts the load on low and middle income earners.

More to the point, how many of them are there ? Most Liberals and NDP are in full support of their respective parties even with the recent developments.

It's all still different degrees of right wing as far as Canadians see, and I just don't think there are enough of them to win an election for PeePee. They need new converts, and PeePee doesn't seem very good at appealing to anyone but the far right. He keeps pushing weak policies, all shored...

PeePee is preaching to the choir, going for the far right, populist vote. While that may have some success within the Conservative Party, it's not going to garner a bunch of new votes federally outside of existing CPC held ridings. Now I'm sure he's not so stupid that he can't see this, the...

Well, it's not like this happened in the real world.

It's not "forty or fifty years of progress" Pierre, it's forty or fifty years of neo-liberal economics that put the control of our economy in the hands of the corporate sector. We put the foxes in charge of the henhouse, and the results are obvious.

It seems the only ones who don't like the new agreement are conservatives. From either a Liberal or NDP standpoint the agreement is a good thing, the Libs get some insurance against a non-confidence vote, and the NDP get to see some progress on their own agenda without actually being elected...

That's a long way off, lots of territory to cover between here and there. PeePee has a major hurdle to clear in gaining control of the party, and current polls are saying nothing positive about his chances on the federal playing field. Federal Voting Projections More Canadians favour "none of...

The CPC is in a tough spot, they need to grow their voter base beyond current levels, and need strategies to glean votes from traditionally Liberal strongholds like major urban centers. A strong right-winger like Poilievre might have some success within the party where there are plenty of loyal...

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.
