The "LOLCANADA" thread...again
So what's new?
I've noticed the Liberals are now ahead in all major polls and Trudeau hasn't even started to campaign yet...i'd be shocked if they lost the election now.
Just shows just how incompetent Conservatives are.
I'm not sure resigning is the right move. While not much has changed on policy, it is clear that in the inflation era that angst rightly or wrongly - I think largely the latter - has made the Liberals entirely untenable in the next election. Perhaps worse than 2011. But I don't know that stepping down and putting a new person is going to change that. I think it might accomplish nothing more than just burning a potential future candidate. I
Totally disagree here friend .
1 year in half , in power (!) is enough time for a candidate to get credibility .
But it won’t happen sadly .
Carney would destroy polievre in a heartbeat.
Especially in the economic front .
I think carney would do better than Trudeau BUT it’s so toxic right now I think he still loses and then wont run 4 years later when he probably should. Poilievre is going to make all types of claims that it is the same old Trudeau liberals with a switch at the top to desperately keep power and I think he still loses. And no guarantee the NDP even gives him a year and a half.

I agree in a sense with both of you. If its anyone in his cabinet they have no chance as they will be looked upon as another Trudeau . Now Mark Carney gives them a fighting chance but its an uphill climb . Though Montreal I think has a point that a year and half is a ton of time
On another front if climate change is our biggest threat and China can provide electric cars that are affordable why add huge tariffs. Recent data shows the folks buying EV's are mainly the rich ?

Was watching Global and many of the respondents from the riding mentioned failed campaign promises . Im sure all the scandals didn't help either but I agree the economy was the driving force
A riding in which Conservatives haven't been competitive for a generation has gone blue, foreshadowing serious trouble for the Trudeau liberals come the next general election. The peasants are revolting.
The Liberal Party deployed heavy hitters like deputy prime minister Chrystia Freeland ... tp the riding to shore up Church's support
No doubt the kiss of death.

Its global. Trudeau is actually third most popular in the g7. Few politicians are immune to the inflation angst. Heck look at the US where it is absolutely insane that Trump is competitive maybe winning.
Interesting most big liberal policies like childcare programs and dental program etc but for carbon tax are popular.
Oh I agree but unless its Mark Carney it doesn't matter. Freeland is as unappealing as Trudeau and her recent comments
Freeland said those voting for (winning) Conservative candidate Don Stewart would be voting for a vision of Canada that is “cold and cruel and small,” i
are just disgusting
I watched a old youtube from a week ago from The Front Bench and the whole panel including the Conservative said no way the conservatives were winning that seat . They referenced when the Liberals were wiped out in 2011 I believe they retained that seat
Um poilievres vision IS cold, cruel, and small. Just lol at getting offended at the truth.
Although given his do-nothing approach to the climate I suppose hot, cruel, and small is more accurate.

Fantastic news for Canada and world, hopefully the number increases once Trudeau and the Liberals are punted and won zero seats.
Shifty should be genuflecting that the government of the last decade is super pro-oil and exports, including even buying a pipeline to support that extra production.
Thank you Trudeau!!!

?
Without Trudeau buying that pipeline , higher oil sand production wouldn’t be able to be exported .
So I don’t understand your logic here .
Canada should play to its strengths. We're a natural resourced based economy in a world that is increasingly hungry for commodities. Log the timber, mine the rare earths, and drill for oil.
Make Canada great again. Unfortunately the regulatory process is so Byzantine it takes 20+ years to get approval for a new mine. Any time anyone wants to do anything there's a dozen environmental reviews and you have to pay off the first nations groups. Everyone has their hand. It's shameful really.

are you sure ?
Seem Canada has kind of evolve from that emergent economy type.
we arent in the 1970s anymore for a while
maybe im wrong

not even in the top 10 sector of the economy ?
but i am ready to be proven otherwise.
That's interesting because in 2020 it was 3rd
Not a surprise to see 'public administration' growing to wildly unsustainable levels tho
otoh the demise of our oil and mining sector shouldn't be much of a surprise, given Ottawa's blatant antipathy towards the oil n gas industry, the insane red tape involved with starting any new mining operation, and the job destroying carbon tax
Canada has a diversified economy. Your number there is 8% for mining, oil and gas. It’s not unimportant of course - Trudeau even bought it a pipeline to support the growth shifty pointed to - but Canada is better described as a diversified 1st world economy than a “natural resource economy” which describes countries like Saudi Arabia that have not 8 but 40% of their economy be oil and gas.
This is good news for us. We can solve climate change, and build out world leading green initiatives that replace much of fossil fuel portion of that 8% without destroying the economy.

Lol .
Justin has been one of the best prime minister ever for oil ….
Man you really don’t care about facts do you huh ?
But as u can see , we are far from being a main ressources economy , which ch is a good thing .
Unstable economy based on ressources isn’t a good thing .
There is a reason 3rd world economy are ressources economy and stay that that way ..,
Ps: post link as well thx .

Yes just blow my mind Frankly and it’s friend rather have a third world economy than a modern 1st grade economy ….
Let’s just focus on selling are ressources 1$ a ton like a banana republic and buy back marchandises around the world at 10 times the prices we sell our ressources …
yah, you guys are so right, it is much better to have an economy based on unsustainable real estate bubbles (themselves fueled by inflationary monetary policy and supply restrictions), debt, and public sector growth than it is to actually produce stuff that is in global demand.

again, u seem to have a difficulty understanding what diversifying means.
You should stop thinking in binary form, like all in or nothing.
real estate is around what 13% from your link in 2020 and now its about the same.
Didnt move much in the last 2 years shrug.
Did u complain when oil was in bubble early to mid 2000s ?
of course not while all the other industries suffer...
that is why canada is a great place.
When 1 sector is in a bubble and it crash, another sector emerge and do great.
that is what bring stability ina country.
Much better then being venezuela and focusing only on oil and ressources...
but seem u dont agree with this.
I wonder which party would be better off if their leader would quit for reelection between Trudeau and Biden 😀…
