PP is quite the "Leader".



If the reporting is true, this isn't how any party what so ever should be 'led'. And as for the validity, sure you can question it, however the fact we KNOW that the 17 MP's have been 'bitch slapped' for daring to see to their ridings and not toe the party line I think proves there's some validity to the claims.

And yes, I'm sure the usuals will go on about how this youtuber is a "Liberal" - well, he's left, but not a Liberal. He throws just as much shade at Trudeau as PP. I also don't agree with everything he says, but he does make enough valid points to be worth watching on occasion.

I'll give props to Erin O'Tool, too, for this interview.

And the point that people are tired of Trudeau is spot on and more valid than just the "Fuck Trudeau" crowd.

Is this supposed to make sense ?

Not to say Trudeau's stance is exceptional, it's instead typical. But at least he's NOT giving "aid" to Trump's talking points.
Mr. Trump last Monday on social media vowed to slap 25 per cent tariffs on Canada and Mexico until the two countries stop illegal migration and smuggling of opioids such as fentanyl from their territories into the United States.

Canada has promised Donald Trump that it will deploy additional drones, helicopters and personnel to safeguard its side of the border with the United States, Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc says, in an effort to convince the American leader to shelve the steep tariffs he’s threatened on Canadian goods.
But, Mr. LeBlanc acknowledged, Canada has not so far obtained any assurances that the U.S. president-elect will back away from the threatened tariffs.

Mr. LeBlanc accompanied Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to a dinner Friday night at Mar-a-Lago, Mr. Trump’s resort residence in Palm Beach, Fla., where they spent three hours talking to the president-elect and his team.

He said they told the Americans that Canada is “going to look to procure, for example, additional drones, additional police helicopters” and redeploy staff as needed, the minister told CBC News Sunday.

“It’s important, I think, to show Canadians and the Americans that we’re stepping up in a visible and muscular way, and that’s exactly what we’re going to do.”
Nobody is laughing at this point. Maybe punching more holes in their belts, but not laughing.
1733078368956.jpegThe Public Safety Minister said he remains confident the Republicans will ultimately realize the tariffs are the wrong idea. And he said he believes Canada still has time to make its case. He said he believes Mr. Trump likes Mr. Trudeau???

(On Monday, former U.S. president Donald Trump repeated the false claim that Fidel Castro could be Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's real father. While Trump frequently expresses his love for Canada, he has previously taken aim at Trudeau for being "two faced," "weak" and a "far-left lunatic.")
And yet Poilievre continues to prove he doesn't deserve the leadership and PM status with stunts like he's pulling over the tariff threat from Trump. Instead, he'd rather undermine any position Canada has all to get at Trudeau.
Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre called for the government to deputize provincial police officers to help out at the border, and to give border guards more power to enforce laws away from their border posts.

“I’m demanding that the Trudeau government quickly present a Canada-first plan to parliament that includes increased patrols, working with provincial law enforcement, deploying new technology, cracking down on illegal drug production and trafficking, tightening visas, securing our ports and expanding the mandate of CBSA officers to fix the broken border,” he told reporters in Ottawa.
Expanding the powers of CBSA would mirror a U.S. policy that allows border guards to enforce immigration laws up to 100 miles within the country. Under that policy, they use highway checkpoints leading from the border to catch unauthorised border crossers who manage to escape detection at the border.

In addition to more helicopters and drones, Mr. Poilievre also called for more towers and scanners to be deployed to the border.
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…
He also pointed out that the flow at the border goes both ways, with illegal crime guns and drugs flowing from the U.S. into Canada.
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…

Given the border controls are on the way in, doesn't Trump have it backwards? Should he not be increasing his border security to prevent unwanted from coming in?

Canada needs lots of fixing. It's time to fix our Crime problem, our illegal immigration problem, our military problem, and our inflationary problem (Justin).

It's Time to pry the country back from this neo-socialist wet dream and let an adult be in charge.

What a disastrous mess the Liberals and NDP have created.

I had mine disconnected couple decades ago. They are mostly therefore ornamentation at this point, release of some hormones, etc…but nothing to do with procreation at this point. I consider that in the top five smartest things I’ve ever done.

I know there's some out there saying that teen boys should get vasectomies and I am sort of on the fence about it. In theory, good idea but there are side complications that could happen with it.

People like Tax though keep pushing this bullshit narrative that LGBTQIA+ are groomers, when in reality it's heterosexuals and the "normal gender people" (aka, non-trans people) who groom kids more than LGBTQIA+. So I'm just going to start agreeing with people like him; yes, groomers should be dealt with severely; get those damn heterosexuals out of the schools! Get them out of places our kids are! Save the Kids! (and I'm only half-joking)

That’s an adult decision, once you’ve had your kids or are 100% sure you’re ready to opt out of the gene pool (reversal of a vasectomy isn’t as easy as plugging things back in either). This isn’t a decision for a teenager.
