This would be amazing. I travel between Ottawa and Toronto several times a year and the current line certainly leaves something to be desired
I'll say this for Singh: It's pretty ballsy for him to entertain the possibility of another election so soon after the last one especially given the financial state of his party (unless I missed some fundraising numbers that occurred during the election).
He knows trudeau is catholic...right? As has been essentially every francophone PM in our history?
Wrong kind of Catholic though.
Trudeau is the kind of Catholic who attends pride parades and is pro-choice.
There is a schism between the more fundementalist types and the more liberal ones like Trudeau.
My wife (more religious than me) frequented some catholic discussion groups before and during the election and there were some hardcore raging debates going on.
"You're not a real Catholic if you don't vote for Scheer" type shit.
She left after seeing a bunch of "I hate Trump but I like what he's doing" type posts. I presume they meant putting pro-life judges into the courts but still that's sickening.
There's something very very wrong with a lot of "religious" people, and those people vote for people like Scheer.
Most Catholics tend to be Catholic for cultural and traditional reasons, not religious.
The fundies are a vocal minority, stress minority
This is how the Paul Martin government fell leading to 10-years of Harper. I guess it is simply the NDP staying true to their roots ...
Yah. I really feel like Singh is reading from a different script though.

I think it would be the best time for the Liberal to bring it. They can take the credit if it works well and shift the blame onto the NPD if people are unhappy about it. Bloc is unlikely to block it (since it may help allocated more federal funds to the one that is currently in place in Quebec). The NPD will likely make it a a make or break point.As a progressive party, the Liberals should of course be eager to work with the NDP to being pharmacare nationally to all Canadians. Right???? Right???

Yes its imperative for the Liberals to ensure that corporations are still able to skim a bit off the top
I think some people are way overreacting to this. There's zero chance of an election. The parties are just aiming to look effective.I find it funny that the NDP is trying to flex given that they were decimated in the election.
If a snap election is called, they'll be blamed 100%.
Don't be like Gutter Trash and pin all the blame on the NDP.This is how the Paul Martin government fell leading to 10-years of Harper. I guess it is simply the NDP staying true to their roots ...

Has more to do with the fact that most people don't want to lose their private work coverage.
That's the democratic approach, you know that's what the D in NDP stands for?
Pretty sure that's what's going to happen. lolThe government will be well aware before the budget vote if they'll be defeated or not so it should never really be that possible to have another election unless someone is woefully inept and makes a mistake or the Liberals decide they want another election.
lol if we end up getting lukewarm centrism for the next few years propped up by dumb handouts to Quebec.
Historically, Liberals were the party of working class Catholics while Tories were the party of ruling class Protestant elite.
Australia's Adani project is basically their equivalent of tar sands development. It was interesting to see the same dynamics working there.This was making the rounds yesterday.
This will somehow be pinned on Trudeau even though it's just global markets reacting to changing times. Alberta is going to feel a lot of pain just from international investments alone let alone low oil prices.
>So they found graffiti on the cenotaph in front of old city Hall here in Toronto saying "Ye broke faith with us" in reference to Flanders Fields where it says "if ye break faith with us who die".
Disgusting shit.
Ah the plights of centralism and the need to appear ever balanced in your reporting.
Why relying on businesses to provide healthcare sucks and why we need universal pharmacare.
