Jagmeet Singh, probably the biggest political loser?

It’s also a clue to how much Canadians want an early election rather than next year:

Over half of Canadians don’t want an early election: Ipsos poll - National | Globalnews.ca

The Ipsos poll conducted exclusively for Global News found Canadians want opposition parties to work with the government despite persistent low approval for the Liberals.

and to that I say, have a snoop at his

Canadians are itching for an election.

@dimsum you try so desperately to find any little straw or flake of truth to try and prop your very left leaning view or simply attack the CPC, its very noticable. Just be much more open about it, its very insulting when you pretend your center, neutral or not biased.

 

[Brad Sallows]

Now, in 2024/25, Canadians are simply tired of Justin Trudeau; but who can replace him? Remember, by LPC custom, it must be an Anglo: Laurier; King; St Laurent; Pearson; Trudeau; Turner; Chrétien; Martin; Dion; Ignatieff; Trudeau ... so Carney? LeBlanc? Freeland? Anand? Fraser?

Why does it have to be the Anglos' turn when the party is headed for the opposition benches?

Aside from Turner - who didn't sit in the House as PM - look how far back you have to go before finding a Liberal PM who wasn't from QC. The country doesn't need it's PM to be from QC more than half the time.

Hey, if we’re going to go there, I’m game. Everyone has a bias, conscious or not - we can see it here on the forum.

As I’ve said before, I would have voted for an O’Toole-led CPC last election. But he didn’t win the leadership, and the CPC has gone right of what an O’Toole-led party would have done. I personally think that he would have steered the CPC back to the middle but Poilievre has not.

So no, I’m not going to vote for the CPC this time around. And if you want to call me the “loony left” or whatever, have at ‘er.

 

[dimsum]

Canadians never want an election, so it seems. Read into it what you want

Hardly a representative sampling.

The other option was phone call or door-to-door. How many people under the age of 45 will answer surveys in either category?

God forbid they finally use a method that most people in that generation and below have grown up using as their primary means of communication.

I have a doorbell camera. I ignore anyone at my door carrying a clipboard or tablet. Similar for phone surveys, just FWIW.

Sampling my generation is probably challenging for pollsters.

The CPC has not "gone right"... they've just moved left much slower than the other parties.

Right leaning, left leaning, who gives a sh*t.

Vote for the party that best represents your views and direction you want this country to go.

So you're implying you will be voting. You can't vote Bloc. Well, you can, but I don't recall you being from Quebec. That leaves greens, NDP and trudeau liberals. I don't recall you banging on Lizzy's drum for her, so I'll surmise your vote will be for the trudeau liberals or Singh’s NDP. Which is your choice, of course. I now have a better measure of where you stand and where you want our counrty to go. I appreciate the insight. Thanks.

Full disclosure. I will be voting Conservative, as I have my whole life.

One of the reasons why O’Toole was subject to, and defeated in, a leadership review.

And that’s fine. It’s the beauty of democracy.

Not really sure this belongs here, but where exactly is the security in all this? Looks like some random is walking beside him with a few others following him chucking shit, with no security is sight while right on parliament hill.

Good on him for calling them out, just because you are a politician doesn't mean you should have to put up with random ass clowns.

It isn’t right at all.

Conservative politicians have been dealing with this for well over a decade.

The commentariat thought it was hilarious, at the time….

Hardly been limited to Cons; Chretien got pied in the face and had someone break into his house. Trudeau had someone throw rocks at him.

In a kind of hilarious turn of events though; same guy that hid behind his phone and said he woudl claim it if he had said it had previously posted this. Pretty good self own.

 

[SeaKingTacco]

Agreed. The time to call out this behaviour was decades ago. Not too late to start now- by all parties.

 

[Fishbone Jones]

Instead of complaining of it getting worse and calling for more protection, perhaps the question politicians should be asking is 'why are Canadians feeling this angry with me?'

There is some truth to that BUT behaving like an asshat needs to be called out

When you look out for yourself instead of the people, expect the peasants to come at you with pitchforks.

Does this apply to Trump and the two recent assassination attempts against him? Or is kowtowing to extremists only a one-way street?

What do you mean? There are two Parliamentary Protective Service members right there in the video. All three vehicles you see are PPS, and as soon as it got heated two of them walked over to be on hand should they be needed. They simply weren’t. Pretty normal for the Hill.
