Those PP ads tend to make me nauseous with their visual treacle. He earns way over $200,000/yr, living in housing paid for by tax payers, has a gold plated pension, and numerous other perks. His treatment of opponents is vicious. He has opposed almost every bill that could make life easier for most people that need to be up early.

Then the application of the Rabi going down the Rabid hole, or as the Rabi (Harold Bloom) declared .. maybe the Sate 'n Prin. or just sate & IHC verses? If complex no one will know ... as you like it? Damn the sacred ... thus rendered down as in descent into the pits ...
 
I need a confused emoji. How is your working in Korea giving all for the good of Canada.
That's a really great question, Jayne. I'd love to answer that for you.

First, I really do give my all. I'm a hard and dedicated worker whether I'm teaching EFL or pastoring. It's just my thing, it's just my way to do my best.

Second, I'm a patriotic Canadian here. I always speak highly of the country. Many times here people ask me if I'm an American and I'm always proud to share with them that I'm Canadian, from the greatest nation on earth. I take great joy in being a really wonderful representative of our great nation.

Third, I responsibly pay my Canadian taxes to contribute to the growth and prosperity of our wonderful country.

I really must say that I'm far from alone in all this. There are Canadians in many foreign nations who are doing wonderful work, excellent jobs for Canada. We're no less Canadians just because we don't live and work in Canada
 
From the "insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result" file:


Poilievre is wasting time that could be spent on actual issues. I hope to hell voters penalize him for it but that's not happening so far.

You don't really expect politicians, the people that buy them off and a stiffed piety system to alter? Thus altercations ...
 
Taxpayers should sue him for wasting their money.

Maybe a wash as they search ways to launder things up ... cleanly! So much dirt floating around ... thus the fertility factor ... just think about it, yet its hard to stay out of ... muddling's!

In the backstage someone shouts: "come clean"!

Geez I wouldn't want to see some of those characters stripped down ... that's be nothing I'd wish to observe ... I'd fantasy something Beta ... I'm told I 'm not to speak that way 'ff thread?

Could he now be hoping for the blocs support if the Blocs demands weren't met by Trudeau on the 29th?

The Bloc is not enough, though. Look at the current standings. Libs have 153 seats, Conservatives 119, Bloc 33, NDP 25. Assuming the Bloc votes non-confidence with the Conservatives, they have 152 vs. the Liberals plus NDP at 178. The motion cannot pass with just one of the other parties supporting it. Both the Bloc and NDP are needed.

One article I read pointed one other possible winning scenario: the NDP abstains en masse and the Bloc votes with the Conservatives, in which the Greens and independents would hold the balance of power since the motion would still need at least two more votes to pass (a tie is not enough since that would be broken by the Speaker, a Liberal). However, at least a couple of those independents are ex-Liberal MPs and still vote with the Liberals on most matters (e.g. Han Dong who got sidelined from caucus due to the foreign interference issue) and I don't think Poilievre can count on May and Morrice, the Greens.

Wiki actually has a good chart of the current makeup of the House.


So the short version is, the Liberals stay in power as long as the NDP wants them to be there and Poilievre is wasting his breath and Parliament's time absent a clear indication from Singh that the NDP will either vote non-confidence or abstain.

Thankyou
 
Visited CBC to get the information without the rhetoric. Trudeau and his advisors seem thick headed by choosing to obfuscate instead of clearing the air quickly in order to move on. Unless they have bigger skeletons they hope to keep hidden.
 
I rarely tune into Trudeau's CBC PR Firm.

That's bulls**t. CBC News is well respected. CBC music is well done. They've always tended a little left, as has our country, largely, witness Tommy Douglas...

CBC, like the venerable BBC on which it is modelled, is an arms' length institution from the government, deliberately set up so. That's why this hour has 22 minutes pokes as much fun at as many politicians as it can.

22 Minutes is still on...?
 
Sort of like people who want to ban movies they have not seen or books they have not read. I personally believe the CBC shifted to right of center about 15 years ago.
