More accurately, we got the party we wanted. And this is mostly to do with economic policies than social constructs.
Liberals bring out the Knives
- Thread starter Retired_Can_Soldier
- Start date
I guess this is where we find out if the riding association supports their nominated local and incumbent MP, or if they are just party hacks. The right thing would be to refuse to do any campaigning for a parachute candidate. Can a liberal do the right thing?View attachment 28252
MP Chandra Arya disqualified from Liberal leadership race
The Ottawa MP sparked controversy after telling CBC News that he doesn't speak French and doesn't believe it would matter to French-speaking Canadians. #Cana...www.youtube.com

Pressed by reporters leaving the first ministers meeting in Ottawa on Friday, Carney wouldn’t reveal which riding he’ll seek election…two days before calling the election?

Other ridings he is believed to be considering are the Toronto Centre riding being vacated by former cabinet minister Marci Ien and the Nepean riding in Ottawa, freed up by the Liberals’ decision to oust Chandra Arya from the ballot on Thursday, three days before an election was called.
(Chandrakanth "Chandra" Arya MP (born 1963) is an Indian-Canadian politician. Herepresentsrepresented the riding of Nepean in the House of Commons of Canada as a member of the Liberal Party since the 2015 federal election, & he wasn’t involved in any Liberal scandals or ethics violations)
The Star has also learned that Carney will run to represent the suburban Ottawa riding of Nepean, previously represented by Liberal MP Chandra Arya who was disqualified as unfit (???) in the leadership race to replace Justin Trudeau and whose candidacy for re-election was rejected by the party…after winning that riding in three elections, & not being involved in any ethics violations or scandals.

Ottawa adjacent riding actually. Close enough for a short commute, but far enough away to be in the suburbs.

Two days before the election is announced? I’m assuming Chandra Arya would’ve already been out campaigning for weeks now, purchased all of his campaign literature, made arrangements and rented his campaign office, arranged his election team and had them in the starters hacks, etc…& it wouldn’t have been his first dance with respect to a federal election:
Not really. I would say it’s more along the lines of consistent with liberal values. This one was broadcast more than a month in advance, & what are Mark Carney’s ties to Nepean? Here he actually would be an “outsider” like he claims.
That’ll learn Chandra Arya for having a campaign riding that he actually lives in, that’s Ottawa adjacent, so he’s a victim of geography (& a short commute to Ottawa), sort of like Trump & Canada…
…The Liberal party espouses the principles of liberalism, and generally sits at the centre to centre-left (& for the last several years waaaaay left of centre) of the Canadian political spectrum, with their main rival, the Conservative Party, positioned to their right and the New Democratic Party positioned in their laps.
So…all of the campaign fund raising that Chandra Arya has done for the position of MP for the Liberal Party of Canada…
So…for all those that actually live in Nepean that have contributed to Chandra Arya’s campaign…if…if he decides to run as an independent…can they get a refund of their contributions to reinvest in the candidate they thought they where donating to?
The optics of this are not good. The rich white banker parachutes into the electoral district after the not-so-white guy who actually lives there (& has won the riding the last three elections) has already done all the legwork in advance?
I think this is one of those situations where actions speak louder than words.

Nine days into Mark Carney becoming Canada’s Prime Minister…
Coincidence? I’d like to see Chandra Arya run as an independent candidate in his own riding.
Again, like the Liberal Party “debates,” both Federal election debates will also happen in Montreal because….Montreal?
The leaders of the main federal political parties will be invited to a face off in mid-April — if they meet certain criteria (?), announced the Leaders' Debates Commission Monday.
The commission, a government agency created in 2018 to organize federal leaders' debates, said the French debate will take place April 16 at 8 p.m. ET and the English debate will be held April 17 at 7 p.m. ET.
Both events will be hosted at the Maison de Radio-Canada in Montreal.
Leaders of a registered political party can only participate if they meet at least two of three criteria.
1) The commission's first requirement is that the leader's party had to be represented in the House of Commons by at least one MP before dissolution to eliminate Bernier.
2) The second is that the leader's party must be polling at least four per cent 28 days before voting day. The commission says voting intention will be determined using the most recent results of "leading national public opinion polling organizations." (I’m assuming they’re factoring out the margin of error)
3) The third requirement is that the party must have candidates nominated in at least 90 per cent of federal ridings across Canada 28 days before the federal election…so they’ve got a week to plant the warm bodies.
The commission said it will announce which leaders will be invited to participate on April Fools Day ‘cuz, why not?
The threshold to participate this time around differs from 2021 when a party leader only had to meet one of the three conditions.
The commission is also moving ahead with a ‘simpler’ and more flexible format this year that it says will encourage "meaningful exchanges between the leaders."
The commission previously announced that, unlike the 2021 debate where multiple journalists were allowed to ask the leaders questions, the next debate will be restricted to a single moderator and the leaders themselves…eliminating unscripted questions for Carney to have to answer.
The commission picked CBC/Radio-Canada to produce and put on the debates, and named longtime TVO journalist Steve Paikin to host the English-language debate. Radio-Canada's Patrice Roy will host the French-language debate.
Other broadcasters and media organizations can distribute the debate on their platforms.
The commission's review of its 2021 format found that the debates "did not deliver as well as they should have on informing voters about parties' policies."
This time Poilievre can describe his policies that he’s espoused for years, Carney can also describe Poilievre’s policies he’s espoused for days, Singh can tell us fiction about what he’ll do with an infinite budget of other peoples money, & May can pipe in between drinks to pretend that she’s relevant.

Anyway, back in Canadian politics…

Burnaby has change dramatically since 2015. Jagmeet is an outsider to the constituents. The struggling whites have been renovicted for Chinese high rise condos.
That’s the first 90 seconds of that video.
Then next two minutes following that are quite interesting.
Then the last two minutes…it’s hard to believe that video is only 6 1/2 minutes long.
Uh-oh…unscripted questions from the campaign trail. Suspected this one was coming, but…still…didn’t figure it would actually happen.
I couldn't really hear it but he never answered it whatever it was.Uh-oh…unscripted questions from the campaign trail. Suspected this one was coming, but…still…didn’t figure it would actually happen.
Asking Carney about Jeffrey Epstein. If you know what who they’re asking about and you listen to it, you’ll know what they’re asking…
Carneys sister inlaw is "stay at our house" type friend with Maxwell.
No, apparently actual mirrors…
Apparently so was Epstein. “Hey Bill, jump on my jet (26 times) & come stay at my place!” Sorta thing.
I’m not saying anything one way or another, but translating what the question in that video was. Once you know, what’s being asked, you can figure out yourself when you hear it..
