CDN Election 2019
- Thread starter Ocean Breeze
- Start date
Okay, where does it say that it's telling people how to vote? All I see is an information page about the issues a Muslim might find more to their culture/views than just the overboard BS of the usual election crap.
It breaks down the issues and how each party sees those issues...
Methinks you're freaking out over nothing.
When you actually look at the numbers of 2015 and this year, that's right. Trudeau DID get the popular vote and majority.
This year, he got a minority seat and lower pop numbers than the Conservatives. HOWEVER, in 2015 the difference between the Cons and Libs was 500,000 votes; this year it was less 250,000
Those that voted still stayed left wing instead of shifting in any sort of major way over to the right, voting for Green and Bloc.
Cons might have the popular vote technically but it's not anywhere close to the 'good sign' that Cons are making it out to be. Truth is, they should be worried as hell about it.
Yes and they have the liberals most favourable for Muslim values and the conservative worst . But they aren’t actually coming out and saying vote liberal . It sure looks like they are strongly suggesting just that .
NDPee Jagmeet Singh has ALREADY MUTTERED about.....................................
his reluctance to embrace an alliance with LIE-berals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jag will be aware - as i have said before - of the POPULARITY HIT...................................
that Ontari-owe NDPees took when they propped up the Ontari-owe LIE-berals..........................
during the gas plant MESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Singh CANNOT AFFORD to lose any more seats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jag is now hedging his bets and waiting to see what happens with LAVALIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And considering how many people HATE Our idiot Boy and his loser LIE-berals with their POISONED VALUES..........................
NDPees must be wondering if they would not be better off to stand well back....................................
and let LIE-berals DROWN in their own Fake News and deceits!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Conservatives CAN support LIE-berals on Kinder Morgan with a CLEAR CONSCIENCE................................
and NO LOSS of popularity and respect...................................
but LIE-berals HAVE NO INTENTION of reviving any pipelines!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LIE-berals have yet to get ANY AGREEMENT from radical native groups regarding a price tag for cooperation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In many easy Our idiot Boy has demonstrated his DISDAIN for Alberta and oil revenue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Our idiot Boy would rather BANKRUPT CANADA than let Alberta profit from oil!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The idiot Boy would rather we bought oil from Socialist Pest Hole Venezuela than from Alberta!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is reason to suspect that our wretched LIE-beral minority govt MAY NOT SURVIVE past next MAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks to substantial DISAGREEMENTS between Singh and Trudope..........................
regarding who will be eligible for LIE-beral gravy.............................
and who will be eligible for LIE-beral tax hikes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Our Parliament is currently PARALYZED by Lavalin and minority groups!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Even the issue of affordable housing offers up opportunity for LIE-berals and NDPees to quarrel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LIE-berals - want affordable housing for the illegals they are rounding up as if they were crazy cat ladies gathering strays................
whloe NDPees are more focused on CDN WORKING POOR.........................................
many of whom happen to be LEGITIMATE IMMIGRANTS who went through the system HONESTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And many such people RESENT the illegals trespassing and DEMANDING LIE-beral charity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And NEITHER LIE-berals or NDPees offer up anything near the amount of new housing that is DESPERATELY NEEDED!!!!!!!!!!!!
And how is it going to look if govt embarks on a major home building spree in the big cities...........................
and IGNORES LIE-beral loving natives on reserves???????????????????????????
At this point - THE ONLY COMMON GROUND between Singh and Trudope.............................
is that each wishes to IMPROVE HIS POSITION AT THE EXPENSE OF THE OTHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This IS NOT the beginning of a beautiful friendship!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There IS NO REASON for Singh to cooperate with LIE-berals when he can just stand back and let them ANGER the public..............
with endless GREED and Fake News!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If Singh cooperates with LIE-berals then people will expect HIM to do something about crime and drugs and homelessness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At every turn - on every issue - it is better for Singh to simply sit back and WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As I have said - THE DO NOTHING BRIGADE is firmly in charge in Ottawa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The UGLY REALITY is that the balance of political power in Canada................................
IS NOW SO UNSTABLE that strong action by any party might be enough to tip the boat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And dump some politician into the history books as a failure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Our minority parties ARE AFRAID of public rage..............
with good reason!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As long as we have a significant Silent Majority.................................
then the LEFT DOES OWN US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
On the plus side - the more Fake News that LIE-berals issue in their own defense..............................
the WORSE will be their election prospects!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Our idiot Boy Justin is leading a minority govt now...............................
courtesy of Fake News!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The economic reality is more important to Cdns than LIE-beral CRAP............................
like "growing the economy from the heart"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Or letting the budget "balance itself"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's a type of star, actually. One that basically failed to be a real star. Other definitions are "an unwiped anus" and "a traitorous semi-Albertan halfwit."
All of them apply to Boomster.
It can a star that failed to ignite. Jupiter and Saturn are brown dwarfs that also happened to be planets.
Pedantic mood, today?

LEVY: Federally funded guide tells Muslims how to vote

A federally funded Canadian Muslim Voting Guide — released three days before the Oct. 21 election — gives Conservative leader Andrew Scheer a series of failing grades for apparently associating with far-right, Islamophobic figures, opposing the M-103 motion and the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, and for proposing immigration policies that “compromise asylum seekers.”
The highly partisan, anti-Zionist guide — produced by the Canadian Islamophobia Industry Research Project out of Wilfrid Laurier University — contends that newly re-elected Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been the “target of Islamophobic hate campaigns” and gives him a free pass for his black face antics because of his public stance against Islamophobia.
The 34-page guide was put together by Jasmin Zine, a professor of sociology and Muslim studies, as well as graduate students Fatima Chakroun and Shifa Abbas.
The guide’s cover states quite clearly that it was supported by a grant from Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. According to the SSHRC website, Zine, in conjunction with National Council of Canadian Muslims, got a $24,923 Partnership Engage grant in September of last year to map the Canadian Islamophobia Industry.
According to her own biography she has developed “award winning curriculum materials that address Islamophobia and anti-Muslim racism” and has published numerous journal articles on Islamic feminism.

She also received an $80,339 SSHRC grant in 2009 to study Canadian Muslim youth post 9/11.
Attempts to reach Zine were unsuccessful.
However her guide states that it is not just a resource for Canadian Muslims but for anyone interested in “political decision making that will affect the future” of Canada.
“Islamophobia is on the rise in Canada and political speech can fuel or quell it,” said Zine in an Oct. 18 press release. “We’ve examined party leaders’ stances based on their public statements and voting records to help Canadian Muslims, and anyone interested in the issues we’ve identified, decide how to vote in the Monday, Oct. 21 federal election.”
The guide scores Trudeau, Scheer, Jagmeet Singh, Elizabeth May and Maxime Bernier in five key areas. These include ties to alt-right groups and Islamophobia; support of M-103 (the federal anti-Islamophobia motion); religious freedom in Quebec; immigration/refugees; support of BDS and foreign policy.
MOSTYN: A new way to fight campus anti-Semitism this yearMOSTYN: Anti-Israeli protest rooted in hateLEVY: City Hall turns blind eye to hateful Al Quds Day rallyTeacher who spewed anti-Israel rhetoric back in classroom
Not surprisingly Bernier gets a resounding fail on every issue and is described in the guide as having “little concern for the plight of oppressed people around the world,” a supporter of individuals with blatantly Islamophobic and anti-Muslim views and engaged in policies that are “blatantly xenophobic, Islamophobic” and reinforce “white nationalism.”
NDP leader Singh gets a pass in every area except on religious freedom in Quebec and on the BDS movement.
Singh and the Green Party’s Elizabeth May are the only leaders to get a “needs improvement” on the latter issue — both for not clearly aligning with the BDS movement.
Trudeau received a fail for apparently claiming that supporting the BDS Movement is “anti-Semitic.”
“This rejection turns a blind eye to the suffering of Palestinians,” the report says, noting that the “Palestine-Israel conflict remains an important subject for Muslim communities in Canada.”
Conservative senator Linda Frum said as disturbing as it is to see academics using Jew-hatred as a “useful metric” on how to assess a political party, what is worse is that the Liberal government paid for this “hateful propaganda.
“This is a clear violation of parliamentary ethics, election law, not to mention simple decency,” she said Friday.
B’nai Brith Canada CEO Michael Mostyn called it “totally unacceptable” that government funds were used to promote an anti-Semitic movement in Canada.
“It is (also) deeply troubling that taxpayer dollars were used to subsidize a document ‘guiding’ Canadians on whom to support in an election,” he said.
Late Friday, the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA) issued a statement saying SSHRC has launched an investigation into what appears to be “an unapproved use of funds” allocated for a different purpose.
