That garbage truck routine was pretty damn funny.
McDonald’s thing too. Anyway…Poilievre…

In absence of Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister confirming a date to present a fall economic statement, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is offering to give up two hours of scheduled opposition time next Monday to "tell us how much she's lost control of the nation's finances."

Criticizing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's economic management, Poilievre noted the government had yet to schedule the updated look at the federal government’s spending, revenues and budgetary balance, which is usually tabled before December.

"What's she hiding? Is she hiding that Trudeau lost control of the deficit this year, just like every year?" Poilievre said to reporters on Parliament Hill Wednesday ahead of a meeting with his caucus. "Common Sense Conservatives are calling for the finance minister to introduce a fall update to indicate whether she's keeping her promise to cap the deficit at $40 billion."
Poilievre said his party would be willing to "cooperate" to allow Freeland to introduce the fall fiscal picture in the House on Monday, a day the Speaker has already designated an opposition day where the Conservatives will otherwise be advancing and forcing a debate on a non-confidence motion.

"The challenge is over to Chrystia Freeland and Justin Trudeau. Stand on your feet Monday at 4 p.m. – we'll clear the deck so you can do it – and tell us how badly you've lost control of the nation's finances and the inflation and taxes Canadians pay as a result," Poilievre said.

So….where’s Trudeau today ‘cuz he’s not in Parliament??? Pretty sure he would’ve know about that mini-budget shortfall announcement that was supposed to take place at 4 PM today….& I’m pretty sure he would’ve known that He pretty much fired Freeland before the weekend….

Then listen to this crazy theory!!!
There is no amount of political bleach, figuratively, and or literally, that could remove the Trudeau Stank from Freeland.

If….if Chrystia Freeland says that she’s gonna run again in the next federal election for her riding…anyone competing against her should have these few videos bookmarked for their election campaign.

Like this gem:
A day that rattled Canadian politics ended the exact same way Chrystia Freeland spent a defining chapter of her political career: Getting trash-talked by Donald Trump.

That blast from Freeland's past came in a social media post from Trump late Monday, in a comment on her departure from Canada's federal cabinet.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, took great glee in noting that the government’s own order of precedence named Industry Minister François-Philippe Champagne as next in line to be finance minister, “but he didn’t know about it or want it,” in which case the job should have passed to Randy Boissonnault, had he not been forced to resign from cabinet last month, after making shifting claims about being Indigenous.

In the event, Trudeau turned to his Man Friday, Dominic LeBlanc, as he always does when he is in a jam. LeBlanc was sworn in as finance minister at 4 p.m. Ottawa time, allowing the government to table its fiscal update.

It all rather suggests that Trudeau’s unrequited love affair with Mark Carney might now be over. Surely not even the prime minister can contemplate another trip to Rideau Hall with another finance minister?

The fiscal update was meant to be the focus of the day, but it has become a $61,900,000,000.00 footnote.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says the House of Commons should be recalled now that NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh is finally vowing to bring forward a motion of non-confidence to take down the Liberal government…so you know that’s not gonna happen.

It's unlikely that Governor General Mary Simon can do what Poilievre is asking her to do. The House currently stands adjourned but is still in session. According to House of Commons rules, it's up to the Speaker (appointed by JT) to recall MPs when the House is adjourned. The Governor General also has no authority to dictate the House of Commons' agenda.

Yet, they’re side by side with the Liberals…
1734745432350.jpeg
…& separated from the Conservatives by potentially approximately 200 seats or so.
1734745515989.jpeg

Singh's gradual effort to limit his alliance with the Liberals “hastened” this week (???) after Trudeau's finance minister quit, plunging the government into more political chaos and raising questions about whether Trudeau can even stay on as prime minister much longer.

But Singh is still not putting any kind of timeline on when his party will join the Conservatives and Bloc Québécois to defeat the government and trigger an election???

Singh doesn’t have to “join” the Conservatives and Bloc Québécois to defeat the government and trigger an election….the NDP just have to “abstain” from continuously supporting the Liberals. That’s it. Nothing more than that is required.

Maybe….just maybe, all it’ll take is the 50-60 disgruntled Liberals calling on Trudeau’s resignation…can all have a “sick day” on the next confidence vote, & Singh still wouldn’t have to join the Conservatives & Bloc Québécois in doing anything at all.

A Dec. 17 poll from Abacus Data suggests the NDP do enjoy more support than the Liberals outside of Ontario and Quebec.

Part of this fight will include trying to break through Conservative rhetoric linking the NDP/Liberals to the Liberal/NDP’s due to the supply and confidence non-coalition coalition that’s definitely not a coalition-type coalition agreement, and NDP’s constant support for the governing Liberal party for the years leading up to Singh’s “tearing & ripping” up their agreement, & in the months after on every single occasion.

Despite those things, Singh does not think people too closely associate his party with the Liberals?? Seriously? How freak’n delusional is this guy?

Trump doesn't know how to joke, that's the problem.

There's a legit 50-50 chance he means this.
Yeah, and Stephen Harper was gonna put Gays in cages.
He's sticking it to Trudeau, and the left-leaning folks like yourself are being trolled.
Not that you'll hear this because you are ignoring at least two of the nine people on the forum.
Maybe Taxslave can update you.
Have a Merry Christmas, Serrya.

President-elect Trump promised to cut energy costs by 50% in 18 months. That won’t be accomplished without Canadian resources. Just getting that out-of-the-way. Then to offer some perspective on Danielle Smith from Alberta:
View attachment 25899
In three weeks, the U.S. will have a new president. And despite Donald Trump’s pledge to “unleash” the American oil and gas sector by cutting red tape and accelerating permit approvals, the Trudeau government remains committed to constraining Canada’s oil and gas industry.
Second in oil production in Canada is Saskatchewan, & third is Newfoundland.
The United States of America borders on exactly two countries. Canada to the north and Mexico to the south. Canada borders on one country, and does the majority of its trade with that one country it shares a land border with…to the tune of about 3/4’s of its exports going to America. I’m just defining the relationship here.
View attachment 25901
In the past, in recent memory, efforts to diversify (putting our eggs into more baskets) have been stymied (& yes, I’m going to use the oil industry as an example shortly) becauit’s much cheaper and easier to deal with a bordering country, but it is to ship products and resources across either the Pacific or Atlantic oceans.

What happens when Alberta (& Sask) try to expand the ability to get oil/gas/etc…to I did the Atlantic or the Pacific oceans in order to export that product into “other baskets?” Do we get a unified Team Canada approach? Something that’s good for the nation as a whole, like building the trans Canada Highway or the transcontinental railroad, this it must go through? Not so much….& yes, AB and SK are completely landlocked, and MB with the exception of Churchill for part of the year might as well be also.

(I happen to be on the logistical side of bringing finished products from America into Canada. That’s what I do. Just getting that out of the way also)

Anyway, back to Trump and tariffs. Yes, Canada is a fraction of the illegal immigrant problem and drug smuggling problem into America that Mexico is, but it still is part of the problem. It still has the longest undefended border in the world with its only neighbour. Yes, we can do better. Yes, the border goes in both directions.

We can crack down on illegal immigration (and emigration) and drug (& gun) smuggling in both directions at our border…at the same time!! It’s the same Border!!! Wouldn’t that be cool? Decreasing the amount of of illegal immigration, & drug smuggling, & gun smuggling, etc…coming into Canada Is half of the issue solved (or working towards being solved), & a decrease in the amount of illicit goods & bodies flowing into the US would be a byproduct of that. Huh…

Now for a twist. We increase military spending, drones, etc…& utilize that resource to combat/enforce our own border security domestically. This increases military spending, decreases crime, Slows down the open floodgate of handguns coming in from the US into Canada, slows down the illegal importation of fentanyl into our nation, etc…

But do you expect government to be sensible?

Not the current one.
Now, after more than three tortured years of stagnation, decline and misery following the 2021 election, the reins of power are poised to pass to a replacement with a mandate to take a hammer to Trudeau’s legacy — a legacy of malaise, misery and malpractice that Canadians are unlikely to begrudge the Conservatives for erasing.
