I don't believe there is such a thing as a pointless election. Although they may be expensive, it does give those that pay attention the ability to toss the fool that called the election.
Not so much underhanded as opportunistic. But ya also gotta be able to read the room if you're gonna short call an election. When Liberal David Peterson was premier of Ontario many moons ago he rode a wave popularity to the Premiership with a huge majority. Two years in he decided to try and capitalize on that popularity by short calling an election. He got smoked, badly.While I agree with you, at the same time if no election is really needed because you have a year plus to be in power then yeah it's also pointless.
Doing it early to keep in power - like in NS for example - is underhanded (legit, but underhanded).
But again, you're also right.
Bingo!Not so much underhanded as opportunistic.
Wanna bet?I don't believe there is such a thing as a pointless election. Although they may be expensive, it does give those that pay attention the ability to toss the fool that called the election.
I was wondering what the hell that was so I looked it up. I don't think there's a more useless elected position anywhere in the US. Jay Furr, the elected weigher of coal in his town even stated his job has no responsibilities.Wanna bet?
In Vermont they have elections for the "Weigher of Coal."

QED. Pointless election.I was wondering what the hell that was so I looked it up. I don't think there's a more useless elected position anywhere in the US. Jay Furr, the elected weigher of coal in his town even stated his job has no responsibilities.
Trudeau's attempt at yet another tax grab with the unfortunate changes he wants to make to the capital gains tax affects exactly kinds of remuneration that innovators, inventors and PhDs rely on.

Inside Canadian tech’s not-so-quiet shift to the right - The Logic
Canada’s tech leaders are cozying up with Pierre Poilievre in hopes he’ll deliver the innovation agenda the Liberals promised.thelogic.co
What the hell, of a different take.
Trudeau's attempt at yet another tax grab with the unfortunate changes he wants to make to the capital gains tax affects exactly kinds of remuneration that innovators, inventors and PhDs rely on.
Which is pretty stupid considering a short time before they started working on the changes Groper said he wanted to encourage more innovators, inventors and PhD types to come to Canada.
Woke DEI crap isn't going encourage them to come here.
Wow. Here that would be a high paying job government union job.Wanna bet?

It does matter. Aftert the last 10 years we're going to have to spend 20 years at least just trying to catch up.Which doesn't matter anymore since he's out.
No, what Canada needs is even higher taxes. Didn't you know that, according to Carney, high taxes create jobs and investment opportunities? Fuck off, retard.On that I agree with you; there was a chance at doing some real good; now it's gone to shit so much these people are turning to a US style of dragging the extreme right into politics with all the money and position they have, to get what they want.
But I suppose you think that's great; what Canada needs is people like Elon and Kash and all the other money-right to influence things?
It's not fear-mongering ya gidget. Trudeau's "policies" have all been about DEI and woke nonsense. Even science funding is entirely dependent on how much of a woketard you are and how much you can virtue signal in your papers. Actual science has become secondary. I'm sorry if facts and reality hurt your precious little feelings.Coming from someone who is Chicken Littleing everything around him...
"Woke DEI" - what other fearmongering bullshit buzzwords can you fit in there, Jin?
Well, they do. Just fewer and slower than letting the economy run free.No, what Canada needs is even higher taxes. Didn't you know that, according to Carney, high taxes create jobs and investment opportunities? Fuck off, retard.

Once again your retardation is showing. When I owned my air service there were only two White people that worked there, myself and one of the ground crew. I did the hiring. My other pilot was Vietnamese. My receptionist was First Nations. One of my mechanics was Inuit and the other was Black. I had two other ground crews working for me that were also First Nations. So go fuck yourself and your retarded ASSumptions ya stunned twat.THIS is why people like who you buy into the "BLAME DEI FOR EVERYTHING!" is fucking dangerous.
As was pointed out, "DEI has become a stand in for black (or put any other minority in there) and unqualified".
THAT is what YOU are pushing, Jin, truth or not. Because to you EVERYONE who is not white and male is "(whatever) and unqualified".
Because racist White leftards think minorities are soo helpless and pathetic they can't get anywhere without White Knights lifting them up.Because you don't TRUST that the minority CAN be qualified. You can't FATHOM that such a person exists.
Says the half-wit who supports reverse racism and sexism.Of course you'll deny it, because admitting it would mean you are a bigot and/or racist and you can't appear that even to yourself.
Way to justify reverse racism and sexism. You must be so proud. Sounds like you're just another twit who's more concerned about equity than equality.But you ARE proving it every. Damn. Time. You use DEI as a slur, use "woke" as a slur, for something YOU don't like.
Once again your retardation is showing.
