If the polling is tight going into the election, it favours the Liberals, because the Conservatives are heavily concentrated in Alberta and Saskatchewan. If they rack up big popular vote scores there, it doesn’t affect the national standings for the seats. Doesn’t matter if they take seats there by 40% or 70%.
The Liberals tend to be more evenly distributed.
It usually comes down to which party takes southern Ontario.
Again the claim was there was no policy. There is. What is the liberal policy? Continually bring in more people?
Nothing if targets are met. Are you unfamiliar with goals, objectives, ocr, measures, metrics, etc? Most people in their jobs are given targets to meet. If they meet them, they keep their job, if they don’t they are penalized, if they exceed them they are given bonuses.
Off the top of my head there’s Carney already quashing the carbon tax, soon, along with prioritzing temporary residents for permanent residency, then followed by plans for a temporary immigration gap, all of which isn’t an 18-month-old twinlkle in the eye.
Nah, funding cuts will directly and immediately hobble infrastructure, meritocracy bedamned.
And in more French “I’m not touching you, I’m not touching you…” News:

Yep, he changed it to zero in an attempt to win the election. He can’t cancel it because only parliament can do that. At most, though, he’ll just repackage it as something else and probably make it higher as he as stated in the past. Liberals can’t help themselves when it comes to taxes. But, what does this have to do with housing anyway especially when it was supposed to be a neutral tax to consumers?
Industry still has to pay which limits their competitiveness globally.
along with prioritzing temporary residents for permanent residency,
Again, what does this have to do with housing. Both classifications need a place to live.
then followed by plans for a temporary immigration gap,
If housing can’t be built quickly, how long is this ‘temporary’ gap?
all of which isn’t an 18-month-old twinlkle in the eye.
Twinkle or not, it’s a better plan than Carbon Tax Carney’s as you’ve outlined it.
So, what you are saying is that the people running the government are incompetents who can’t meet a goal? You’ve not demonstrated that those supposed goals are unreachable, you have no idea what is reachable/reasonable or not.
After Keir Starmer’s embarrassing bootlicking sycophanty when he visited the White House vs Emmanuel Macron’s dignified visit when he boldly contradicted Trump and basically called him out as a liar, it seems that France is surprisingly going to be a stronger ally for us than Britain. If the Orange Peril wants to start a war, I guess it will be France that first nukes Washington.
Yeah, like when those damn Liberals introduced the GST. They just ruined the country with that.
Oh, wait…
You understand that the Liberals have generally run more balanced budgets than the Conservatives, right?
Actually, I don’t understand that.

Note it is up to 2022. Junior has likely surpassed his father by now by quite a bit. Thank you Trudeau and family and those who put them in power.
Um, I only wonder what could have caused this?
In 2022, federal per-person debt is projected to be $47,070, which is the third highest amount in Canadian history (behind only 2020 and 2021). This is more than 25 per cent higher than per-person debt before COVID in 2019. During Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s tenure, federal per-person debt increased by 35.3 percent between 2015 and 2022.
ETA: This Fraser Institute “news brief” reminds me of a quote, now I’m paraphrasing: Think Tanks are places where you pay smart people money, to write an intellectual narrative of a false consensus, so that you can push your already preconceived and planned polices.
and left the girl to take the heat with her 2 remaining seats in Parliament.
Poor Kim…
Of course canny Chretien won a landslide promising to cancel the GST and then blithely said Wal I tink we keep dat
How much did Harper spend on prisons in his blue ridings???
and have the largest Cabinet EVAH.
Of course Justin got voted in the “anyone but Harper wave”.
Since PP is Harpers child warrior, some of that persists especially in Quebec.
…
are we accepting the Fraser Institute as neutral observer…not bloody likely.
What caused the debt to balloon??? Covid.
And Canada came out of covid with the second strongest economy and low inflation compared to others.
From the linked Fraser Institute infographic:
- In 2022, federal per-person debt is projected to be $47,070, which is the third highest amount in Canadian history (behind only 2020 and 2021). This is more than 25 per cent higher than per-person debt before COVID in 2019. During Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s tenure, federal per-person debt increased by 35.3 percent between 2015
and 2022.
So the debt shot up during Covid in 2020 and then started coming down in 2021 and 2022 and you are spinning that negatively?
I voted for Trudeau 3 times, because the alternatives were not attractive at the time (O’Toole), negative (Scheer), or repulsive (Poilievre). I voted for Carney in the leadership race. I’ll vote for Carney in the next election.
I didn’t vote for PET because I was in my early teens, but for the rest of my votes you are welcome.
Also this
Trudeau.
Okay, news flash. Trudeau is gone. You can stop the Trudeau Trudeau Trudeau shitck. He’s done.
Mulroney ran up huge national debt but the cons blamed Bob Rae who woke up Premier of Ontario one morning totally unexpected.
He actually balanced layoffs due to the recession with keeping people employed…a tricky balancing at and a humane one.
He admitted in his memoirs he erred during that period as he did not coop business in his planning to deal with the recession…he then also moved from the NDP to the Liberals and would certainly been a better candidate than his rather hopeless former room mate whose name thankfully escapes me.
But his enablers are still there and all in cabinet again.
Then start TALKING ABOUT THEM. START TALKING ABOUT THEIR POLICIES!
Seriously. Enough with “Trudeau, Trudeau, Trudeau.” Broken record.
Give it up with the pejoratives and conspiracy shite Uzi. Wait and see what Carney DOES instead beating the Justin horse.
There was good reason the parties are tied JUSTIN IS GONE.
