Liberal Minority Government 2021 - ????

[Halifax Tar]

For those of you who didn’t have the time or inclination watch the JCCF have a go at Mr Trudeau for prorogation of Parliament, todays arguments before the court ended with the government stating that Canadians have no constitutional right to effective representation through a sitting Parliament so long as there is a government formed through Parliament. [Obviously haven’t read the Charter, and even if it was true then front runner Carney is not yet part of Parliament so …. For example Carney right now has the same political status as Maxine Bernier and it should stay that way until he is elected both to lead the party and holds a seat in Parliament.]

They made this assertion after conceding that the Liberal Party of Canada is a private organization and that whoever heads that organization is also a private matter for members only. Even the Judge noted that the LPC could change its leadership privately without prorogation so why approach the GG without a sound Parliamentary reason.

They are done. After that, if this rotten house if cards does not collapse we deserve to be a province of Zimbabwe.

Hopefully we’ve see our last prorogation for personal and political preservation ever.

Disgusting.

Did someone pull a fire alarm yesterday too ?

Adam Pankratz: In a trade war, Canada must focus on what it can control​

Defence spending, pipeline construction, internal trade and national identity should be our focus in the weeks ahead

In 2021, median income in Canada was about US$50,000 (C$70,000), compared to US$70,000 (C$99,000) down south. What’s more, the median employment income in every province is lower than every American state, even the poorest ones.

Maybe instead of lecturing about social safety nets, Carney could explain what policies he could bring that would let Canadians enjoy similar wage growth to the Americans.

He isn't taking the Trump threat seriously

David Coletto is finding different numbers than elsewhere.

What a rollercoaster ride out polling is right now.

Poor Freeland. All that brand loyalty out with the bathwater. Hopefully PM Carney takes pitty on her.

Considering he's the Godfather to her children, I imagine she'll be just fine under our newly installed unelected dictator...

Trudeau announces plans for high-speed rail network in Toronto-Quebec City corridor

A new, high-speed rail network between Toronto and Quebec City will be a “game changer” for Canadian commuters, cutting travel times from Ontario’s largest city to Montreal to three hours, the prime minister says.

I am a fan of this. Just don’t put any Ottawa light rail types on this project

Kingston is in an uproar over this, but I know that most of our rail lines are designated for freight specifically because of DuPont and Invista.

I would love to see a plan for commuter train links to Ottawa for us, but that seems to be not in the cards.

If this trend line with the NDP is accurate, it looks like Singh shit the bed (no surprise). He should have pulled the plug on the government when he had a chance and it looked like he would increase his caucus substantially.

But the federal NDP has always been politically incompetent.

The same Kingston that let NIMBYs win and didn't lengthen it's airport runways to allow modern aircraft to land, which subsequently caused the cancelation of daily scheduled flights? Yeah, Kingston voters can pound salt for the councilors they elect.

Its sad what has become of that once principled party. But in our hyper partisan space I am not sure how much room there is for second party on either side.

It may come down to the efficiency of the vote, for which the LPC are usually stronger in.

100% because how much of that is in AB and Sask?

A split vote with the Bloc in control.... Who would get the Bloc to form a coalition first ?

Lets have an election right away and settle this.

We also don't know how much sway the Mark Carney effect will have once the leadership race is over
