LimpRimbleAfter St. Paul's, is there anything Trudeau can say or do to save his leadership?
This is the kind of politics I like - will he stay, will he go, how will it effect the campaign …?
Also today: Kenyan protesters dead, parliament on fire as thousands storm compound - Protest against new taxes. don’t like that kind.
Protesters killed as thousands of Kenyans protesting new taxes storm parliament | CBC News
Police fired on demonstrators trying to storm Kenya's legislature on Tuesday and at least five protesters were shot dead, with sections of the parliament building set ablaze as lawmakers inside passed a bill to raise taxes.
Funderpants I have to say, I like Trudeau and think the Liberals have done a good job governing, passing many laws and policies I support and generally making my life better.
But on the other hand at the very least they have a problem communicating. I have family who drive a PHEV they had subsidized, send two kids to $10 a day daycare at a rural daycare center the feds funded to open, gladly collecting the child benefit while working a job that has seen a boom due to government policy. But because they basically absorb anything they see repeated enough on Facebook as true, they’re ready to see Trudeau go for… vague reasons? But their conviction is as strong as their reasons are nebulous.
A roll back to Harper era childcare policies would financially ruin them, but how can I argue against skeleton middle fingers and Fuck Trudeau stickers?
How do you pay $2.3 billion in carbon tax rebates and not have anyone know about it? It’s amazing how terrible the communication is.

I’m genuinely astonished this comment has so many positive votes.
I’m pretty far left and I agree with that statement. They’ve done a lot of positive things. The bar is on the floor of course because of the conservative government that came before them. And there’s a lot more they could have done. But still, they’ve generally done positive things.
I really can’t figure how someone looking at housing and think the Liberals did a good job.
No matter how bad the Conservatives were or will be doesn’t mean the Liberals are good. What policies did the Liberals have that would have been better than the general ones from left parties NDP and Green.

Not what’s being said. I prefer the NDP in general, but the Liberals have done small versions of a lot of the policies I would have wanted from the NDP. Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good. The Liberals did some good stuff. They could have done a ton more. But their changes have generally been baby steps in the right direction.
How is this:

The same as this:

How is it even a discussion that the Liberals did a “good” job. Can anyone actually provide anything tangible for this?
Tangible? Like a list or something? Would it even help because my experience is making a list for someone is just inviting an annoying, ten mile long part by part argument that I have no interest in being part of.
But anyway, I’m happy with the child care funding, cannabis legalization, water boil advisory work, pro LGBT stance, standing up for women in NB and PEI for healthcare access, the carbon rebate, the Greener homes grant, the EV rebate, the pension plan changes, the Covid response, independent senators, and election act changes to name a few things that I personally am happy with.
Housing, lying about voting reform, immigrations, 34 Billion dollar pipeline.
The senate should be elected.
I wouldn’t trade the alternative approaches to those for backtracking or alternate approaches to the things I listed. Especially considering one needs a constitutional amendment to be binding and one is a provincial responsibility.
You think the Conservatives are going to FIX housing?
This is a embarrassing level of reading comprehension.
rozodruThere’s still a mass group of people that are harping on him about vaccines. hell they were marching around the CBC and Eaton centre literally this past weekend STILL ranting about how Trudeau forced Canadians to take 2 vaccines. How many years PAST that are we now? these are the type of people that will ensure a conservative win and if THAT doesn’t scare you then I don’t know what will.
smoothbrain coldtakes“We are immediately implementing electoral reform like we promised initially”
Honestly I’d take it.
No_EponymBetter late than never.
The conniption PeePee lovers would have though
I wonder what would happen if he announced tomorrow that he had a really good acid trip the other day and came to the conclusion that what the government must do is abandon the F-35 jet fighter deal, stop subsidizing oil companies, stop subsidizing car companies, stop pretending that rapid population growth is good for us, nationalize most of the telecom sector, get serious about fighting back the power of the other oligopolies that run most of the country, double the carbon tax, cut the income tax, eliminate most of the deductions that make it so complex, tax capital gains at the same rate as other income, consult with economic experts willing to design an effective regime for preventing businesses from growing too large, renew efforts for electoral reform, cancel all the bad Internet bills, fund electrified passenger rail transport, and run all government systems with 100% free software.
I mean he's not winning the election anyway, may as well go for it.
streetfestivalI’d ask where can we get some more of that acid so we can forcefeed it to other politicians lol. Undermining the sovereignty of someone over their consciousness is not usually something I’m down with, but look at all the benefits you listed XD
pelotronIf hallucinogens are illegal, the sovereignty of your mind has already been undermined =o
I love that :P
what would happen
I’d probably vote for his party on the chance that some of this would come to pass.
We need a referendum to compel Trudeau to take ALL the hallucinogenic drugs, right now.
“Fucked up Trudeau”.
I love it.
Nice dream
I think this platform is exactly the sort of thing that millennial politicians will be pushing for. So we’ll see it in maybe 10-15 years.
you forgot dairy and meat
