Same with mid-size towns, say less than 100K, there aren't enough routes. Increased ridership goes a long way to improving that. Vancouver has excellent transit, my son lived there for years and only insured his car when it was time for a road trip. Still, when you drive down there and look...

How many in larger cities could switch to mass transit or car-pooling at the cost of nothing more than a little convenience ? How many anywhere benefit from getting organized a little better and cut the number of shopping trips in half ? There's a lot of room to use less between where we are...

It's not an "all or nothing" choice though, sure we will need to burn fossil fuels for years to come, just not at the rate we are now. The areas of highest use are in our metropolitan areas, and that's where people have the most alternatives. Consider the cost of gasoline and parking right...

The elephant in the room here is the thought that we should be scaling back the production of fossil fuels for energy, not ramping up. I'd like to know where the push to breathe life back into things like Energy Easy and Keystone XL is really coming from.

That's the point. O'Toole understood that taking the party closer to center was what they had to do to attract voters from further left. Poilievre wants to take the party further to the right. Given what went on in the US during Trump's presidency, and what we've seen anti-vaxxers and the...

That's probably some very wishful thinking. Even if Poilievre had the support of all conservative voters he's still too far to the right to woo anyone over from the left, and with the NDP holding the balance of power the deal is pretty much done before it starts. Most Canadians do not want a...

My thoughts too, and maybe not even as well as either of those two did because he sits a little further out on the political spectrum.

That's the way many feel to be sure, but there are also many who believe the protesters went way too far, that theirs was an attack on the democratic process. I suppose time will tell what may come of that mess. My point going forward is, if Mr. Poilievre has 75% support within the CPC, how...

On the contrary, the majority of Canadians supported the use of the EA. The occupation was increasingly viewed as the work of far right extremists, and that politicians in general were to blame for letting it get out of hand, the Liberals for not taking firmer measures sooner, and the CPC for...

Within the CPC, but do you think he can have an effect on federal numbers ? He is spurning moderates within the party which represents an overall step to the right for the CPC, how will that play to Canadian voters as a whole ? If you lump the Liberals and NDP together it says that as a...

Why?

If Hinman and the WIP gain any traction they will run a chance of splitting the voter and putting the NDP in power, just like the Progressive Conservatives and Wildrose Party did in 2015.

It will be an interesting race to be sure. There have been loud murmurings from within the party of giving Kenney the heave-ho for some time now, and the NDP have been polling ahead of the UPC for a year now. Canadian voters can be a fickle bunch, we don't so much elect new people as we tend...

May 2023 at the latest.

One to keep an eye on is the upcoming by-election in the Ft. McMurray - Lac La Biche riding in northeren Alberta taking place this Tuesday. The seat has been empty since UCP MLA Laila Goodridge resigned to successfully run as a CPC Candidate in the last federal election. Ms. Goodridge held the...

True enough, as far as snake-oil salesmen go. I have my doubts if he's even seriously engaged in the political stance he takes, other than to use it to fleece his followers.

Enough dead horses in there to fill a good size corral.

Doesn't "Omnibus" imply a variety of subtopics within the main topic. Just a question here, who are you to tell me I'm not entitled to an opinion here? Would that mean a Conservative voter isn't entitled to called Trudeau names any more ?

Access to post-secondary education is most definitely based on financial ability. Idealogically, access to post secondary education should be governed by aptitude and ability, not how think daddy's wallet is. Education is our future, it would be nice to be able to think that future decisions...

But has the rate of environmental abuse risen even faster ? Our mining industry is best described as a "prolific offender", blank cheques issued to the oil and gas sector as far as cleaning up the mess they leave in their wake, unsustainable logging practices, the list goes on. The deck is...
