That is a beautiful shade of blue all over Canada. Let's hope it comes true.

Except that the vast VAST majority of the FDI, and especially the increase in FDI that has happened, is coming from the USA, Germany, Japan, and the UK, not China.

Where are you sourcing this info from, Lumber?

Because everything I've read over the past few years has been about foreign investment fleeing the country at unprecedented levels...

And the 'investment' money coming IN from China as they purchase up large amounts kd real estate and land, as well as resource deposits and mines



But I'm willing.to accept that I live in a bubble at times, so any links you could post to get my nose sniffing in a different direction would be appreciated.

Another fine pick by the Edmonton fateful, must be something in the water there. That city sure knows how to pick MPs.

As an Edmontonian, I have to apologize on behalf of my city.

When it comes to politics, whether it be federal or provincial (heck even local) there's some sort of crazy mind control spell over the citizenry here...

Well tonight’s news about Tariffs isn’t going to help the LPC, and more likely no party can quickly solve the problem.

its hard to rectify an imaginary slight but bad news for Trudeau and for the rest of us. Just the CDN $ response today will not be good

Its not 2 seats bad but 40ish seats between the NDP/LIBS is impressive

Canada has a very left leaning core, to its detriment. I don't think it will ever see a fall like the PCs in the 90s.

For my peanuts, I think its time for the NDP, LPC and Greens to become one.

God no that would be terrible IMO. Other parties provide a relief valve for more extremist views. The last thing I would want to see is for us to descend into a 2 party system like our southern neighbours. Plus it could be worse, with a left leaning populace and a united left the resulting party would be for sure the natural governing party

As unlikely as it is to stick, it would be pretty fantastic to see him personally voted out of his seat. That would be as clear a message to change tack as the LPC could possibly get.

….although technically, the PM doesn’t need to be a sitting Member of Parliament in Canada’s version of the Westminster parliamentary system…just the leader of the party with the most seats… 😉

Some might argue its the LPC who have out flanked their spectrum mates and are now the party of the extremists. But that's just opinion.

As for the rest, their combined weight now still gives them no federal government, if the current polling is to be believed.
 
People tend to forget that the Bloc Québecois was founded as a Conservative Party and I believe still draws Conservatives in Québec towards it. A lot of people would classify them as Centre-Left which historically may have been the case due to Labour Union influence over the PQ but I no longer see it that way and believe they, like the CAQ, are firmly right of the political spectrum.

They are pro-decentralization, Anti-Immigration, populist in nature and I view them as a regional right-wing populist party.
