These voters must be on crack for thinking Freeland would be better than Trudeau. She has all the smugness and stupidity as Trudeau with none of the charisma.

If only Freeland was as based as her Ukranian SS Grandfather

Hitler would be more preferable to all politicians in Canada. Even stalin.

Not Pol Pot. That's just too much.

I am actually aware of the reverence towards Hitler and Stalin and many argue in defense of them. But I do think they might have much more respect for their citizens than any Canadian politician.

I hear Bashar Al-Assad is free to lead another country.

Put the Lion of Damascus in charge.

As far as I am aware. Assad is often viewed in a negative light by the deep state and the legacy media for not agreeing with their worldview. Assad seems to have kept stability in Syria and happened to be revered by the population of Syria. Assad being in charge of Canada is an interesting scenario but I theorize, if it were true, the United States would send rebel terror groups in Canada to try to overthrow him.
 
Effective yesterday, Air Canada has decided to begin charging fees for carry-on baggage. You can now expect to pay at least $35 CAD (if you check in ahead of time), and up to $65 CAD (if you decide to check in at the boarding gate), to bring your previously complimentary luggage with you. Also, starting on the 21st, you will also be expected to pay extra if you would like to enjoy the "luxury" of choosing where you sit.

I've been thinking about what Canada should do to try and fix the issues, and have been doing a lot of reading as a result.
High function inbound, but would a developmental autarky work to force a shift from being a population of 80% poor service workers, to being a productive nation that actually competes globally? It's not like some shitty African nation that has no GDP, little natural resources, and little landmass. Canada should have everything it needs within its own borders to be an economic powerhouse, it just doesn't do anything to incentivize the building of it.
It's entirely possible I'm missing a lot of nuances to why this wouldn't work, but i can't figure out in my little brain why it wouldn't.

Honestly Trudeau's policies have been so bad just reversing a handful will put us on course to boom time.

Reversing the "tax on everything" carbon tax, not to mention the insane capital gains change, along with fixing the broken catch&release "weak on crime" policy will immediately make it more lucrative to do business. Loosening regs for resource extraction and repair relations with the US for exports will increase the value of the Canadian dollar. Both will lead everyone in the country to feel richer and boost consumer confidence.

I wouldn't be surprised to see in excess of 5% GDP growth after a couple years, more than enough buffer to handle a few million deportations.

Natives and greens will poo poo anything we try with resource extraction, which should be our biggest money maker.

What's funny (sad?) is that the Greens have a New Year's wishlist of demagoguery and they think they they can build it all out of rich people's money, as if affordable housing is constructed from ones and zeros on a bank's computer instead of from lumber.

As for cLiMaTe AcTiOn, I see this as a pacifisation strategy. You've got people who really want to conserve the environment, and you've got techbros like David Gelbaum buying out conservation movements to stop saying things that are bad for business. If you're a sell out environmental group, you've got to pacify the base somehow, if you want to keep collecting those Gelbaum doubloons. cLiMaTe AcTiOn is perfect for that: unfalsifiable, invisible, enemy, that's the cause of everything from droughts to floods, from heatwaves to coldsnaps; you pay your carbon tax, and you subliminate that urge to conserve.

A wishlist is not a platform. You need a plan, an actionable plan. "We're going to rob the rich and give it to the poor". So, houses made out of money? Wheelchairs made out of money? Oh wait, by "disabled", you mean trannies and munchies, not cripples. Dilators made out of money? And when the rich pull an Atlas Shrugged on your asses and leave? What then?

It's especially sick how much cover the Greens have run for the Liberals after all the broken promises. Remember pRoPorTiOnaL RePreSenTatIon? Remember cleaning up the water on the Rez? Greens, figure it out. You're suckers at every level.

Before 2000 the capital rates inclusion rate was 75% and the 2/3 rate. We should increase it back up keeping the thresholds for small business owners to pay capital gains at the lower "inclusion" rates.

Well, that's the thing about the Green Party. They can promise you the moon and stars because there is no chance of them becoming a relevant force in politics for the foreseeable future. It is nothing more than a personal platform Elizabeth May she can strut around Ottawa like she's a VIP. Seriously. This woman is in love with the sound of her own voice and her press conferences only fuel her narcissism. Her ten-minute retirement was a disaster for the party because the only reason why people even paid attention to them was for May's drunken antics.
 
Speaking of elections there's now a consistent rumour Sock Boy will finally appear sometime early this week and announce his resignation. Lines up with the other reporting on the Lib's national caucus meeting Wednesday so might be an interesting week.

When is the non-confidence vote? I honestly hope Trudeau doesn't resign so that Poilievre can easily win in the inevitable election.
 
Take your bets on tomorrow, folks! I'm going with Trudeau prorogues parliament until October. Turning himself into a full-blown dictator until the election and fulfilling his duties as Fidel Castro's bastard son.

He can't prorogue for 10 months. At best he'll have to reconvene sometime in like late March or early April because Parliament has to be in session to approve finances and the public sector's payroll has to be renewed by then or else there's going to be a US-style shutdown.

My guess is that he's going to call for a leadership race but declare himself to be the 'interim' leader while the party clubs itself over the head. That way he can keep his inner circle on cabinet payrolls for a few more months.

Impossible to say. If everything goes absolutely perfectly with the Conservatives' committee loophole there could be an election called at the end of January, but there's a lot of needles to thread to make it work. This supposed declaration Trudeau is going to make is happening tomorrow while the committee meeting that's supposed to kick off the Conservative non-confidence attempt happens on Tuesday and the six-hour Liberal caucus struggle session is supposed to be on Wednesday, so it seems like Justin is going to try to scuttle both threats with his timing.
