Like Brian Mulroney before him, Pierre Poilievre should plan a trip to Washington once Donald Trump is inaugurated

    Polly Putinfever, the guy who refuses a background check /security clearance, the guy with the Venezuelan wife of mysterious origin, the guy who supported overthrowing the government, the guy with ties to white nationalist extremists, and the richest person in Parliament without ever having a job outside of government: yeah I definitely have full trust in him.

      but i keeping being told by youtube ads that Jagmeet Singh is snooty leech who likes fancy watches and getting paid? /s

      As an American import to Canada I have seen first hand the destruction that conservatism celebrates as progress. Hopefully the utter gong show that is taking place to the south will open some eyes, but after the US election I have a hard time remaining positive. Most people want easy answers to complex problems. If those existed they would have already been implemented.

      I’m voting ABC.

      Whichever local candidate has the best chances of defeating the conservative candidate gets my support.

    I know it’s a lot to ask of our media overlords PostMedia, TorStar, Rogers and Bell, but if you want to be protected from persecution from America, you’d better be sounding the alarm bells now.

        And not just any Americans. They’re owned by Chatham Asset Management, a hedge fund associated with the Republican party that also owns a notably Postmedia-like publication: The National Enquirer (via a360) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chatham_Asset_Management

      Good news is: CBC is planning to focus more on local news, finally giving PostMedia some competition.

    We should keep the “Opinion:” prefix on titles. Without it, these statements sound like evidence-based fact.

    I will be voting for the candidate most likely to beat the conservative in my riding as I always do… Conservatism is a cancer.

      Thus rendering the entire democratic process invalid! Our only options are “The Assholes” or “whoever is not The Assholes.”

        In a two party system you would be correct… However Canada is not a country with a two party system… You have choices here if you choose.

          Canada is two parties working for 3 monopolies. I can choose any party I wan’t but if it’s not liberal or conservative it’s essentially a spoiled ballet.
