Abortion rights for women, fair representation for women, gender equality, legalized pot , income disparity, rights for LGBTQ individuals, climate change.
Flawed fair representation better than no fair representation.
I'm not sure what other rights they need.
Not sure what you mean here. Like gender parity? At this point with the LPC it seems more for show than a true belief.
That's important. I think identity politics landed us Payette. Think the LPC has ran into a few snags with their pro-women image.
I was against this personally but I think I was wrong. Seems fine.
Between who?
Are LGBTQ individuals missing rights that straight Canadians enjoy?
Another really important issue. Liberals really capatialized on this one with young Canadians. They(young Canadians) can't articulate much besides conservatives are old fogies and the future is theirs and they need to protect the climate.
Seems to me the Liberals can be counted on to act in their best interest. They're good at making Canadians think their own best interests and the LPC coincide.
Yet there is a faction within the CPC that continues to advocate for limits on abortion which leaves me uneasy.
As I said before, even flawed gender parity is better than no gender parity. The CPC has left no doubt they wouldn't seek to improve on the LPC in this regard, they would simply do away with it.
I'm sure there are thousands of other women or men who could do a better job than Payette. Simply a matter of getting the right one.
Yet it was the LPC who put it in place, the CPC ran against it in the past.
the average middle and low class worker who is trying to keep up with the ever increasing price of everything and especially housing.
Considering they are more likely to be assaulted, killed, commit suicide and harm themselves than the general population, I would say more needs to be done. And considering a part of the CPC base advocates for conversion therapy and the previous leader wouldn't walk in a gay pride parade it leave me feeling like they are not the party who would recognize that.
and the CPC has yet to come up with a plan for the environment beyond carbon tax bad, we will come up with something better. At a later date. Trust us.
All politicians do. It's baked in. But the question I am left with is what are they doing (I've named things above) and what are the other guys offering (currently underwhelming)
Liberal bad. Okay.
Well, at least you have the NDP to vote for then.
Hence why I feel politically homeless.
Despite not touching abortion with a 10 foot pole for 10 years if they get elected that small faction will ban abortions or tinker with it? Seems like a nonsensical concern.
Didn't the CPC have near gender parity in their cabinet? Ensuring it's 50/50 for the sake of it seems more akin to virtue signaling then good governing. And what about trans members? Do you think trans men and trans women should be equally represented as well?
Yup. But the reasons why the LPC took her on board, and the manner they did it, should be alarming. Once again, a lot of people over look that stuff because image is more important than ethics.
Right.
What's the cut off line between low and middle class?
Agreed.
Then nothing to do with rights then since LGBTQ have the same rights as heterosexual Canadians.
I get the feeling the LPC plan is to tell people what they want to hear while lining up their friends for juicy contracts. I also get the feeling they would oppose any snooping into those deals just like we seen with SNC and WE.
Sounds like the LPC plan for budget.
You also know that the statement goes deeper than simply acknowledging our climate is changing.
I see one underwhelming and one full of BS.
Do I think they will? No. Do I feel very comfortable in the same tent as those who do? No.
Seeing as trans women just see themselves as women that's not really an issue.
I never notice the GG unless they mess up. Sucks that JP was a bag of hammers but beyond that I don't really care.
Yup.
Interesting question, varies for everyone. But I do know that CEOs used to make 60 times more than their employees in 1989 and now that ratio is 300 times. I would start there and work my way down.
The majority of Canadians assaulted in Canada are not LGBTQ but a large percentage of LGBTQ are assaulted.
As a show of support for a often victimized community, it's really the least one can do.
I think the carbon tax is pretty self simole to understand, and I think the federal backstop that refunds the tax is better than plans like BC and QC that just pocket it.
sounds like every government these days have you seen the Ontario, Alberta and Quebec budgets?
Maybe. Again, doesn't fill one with good feelings if someone has the climate as a concern.
Well, I'll back the BS legal weed and cash my BS CCB payments, and take my BS carbon tax rebate I guess

Catherine McKenna’s Minister of Infrastructure fails another Audit, billions unaccounted for
I'm not surprised, not even a little bit. Almost $94,000,000,000 unaccounted for. Breaches in the Treasury Board Contracting Policy. Substantial mispractices on the Minister of Infrastructure and Communities. The department lacked mandatory checklists, proper due diligence and presented serious “control failures”. Of 32 projects, picked at random by auditors, they found that 22 of them had incomplete checklists, signalling a failure rate of nearly 70%. Perhaps it's time that Commissioner Lucki does some soul searching and gets some investigations going in earnest for a change.

News for all
Perhaps someone better versed in in the goings on of parliament can tell me if a vote of no confidence can be brought against the trudeau government for something like malfeasance.
And interracial marriage was illegal in places, Jim crow laws were in place, gay individuals could not marry, turns out with increased knowledge and society moving forward things that were okay back then are not today.
