Honestly, I am so tired of Western Canada doing this that I just implore them to get it done with already. Nobody is forcing them to stay in this country. They are free to leave whenever they want. Maybe then they'll stop holding back the rest of the country from progressing.Saskatchewanexit!

Let's balkanize this shit!

The west is not going to leave, but they saw how well it worked for Quebec and are going to push it as far as they can.
Lmfao. You say that as if Ontario isn't backwards up its own ass 50% of the time. This post would make more sense if you didn't have a right wing lunatic sitting in Queen's Park looting and pillaging the province.Honestly, I am so tired of Western Canada doing this that I just implore them to get it done with already.

Oh, I know Ontario is screwed and will continue screwing itself and the country at large. And I say everything I said knowing full well that Western Canada isn't going to act on it. And deep down, I don't actually want them to act on it. Take it as a sarcastic taunt with a hint of annoyance towards Western Canada always crying foul whenever the big bad non-conservative federal governments don't literally drop everything to bend to their every whim.Lmfao.

The model is (likely) behaving exactly as it should. The (solvable) problem is elsewhere down the chain.Labour Majority with 27% of the vote. Wow. That model must be broken because I have never seen something like that before.
Kenney to cut corporate taxes in bid to boost Alberta economy
Premier Jason Kenney is preparing to cut corporate taxes in a bid to boost Alberta's economy with a policy that will cost the
province billions of dollars in forgone revenue over the next four years.
Mr. Kenney's plan to cut his province's corporate income-tax rate to 8 per cent from 12 is a reversal from the previous NDP government, which increased corporate taxes by 2 percentage points soon after taking office. It also sets him apart from other conservative premiers, including Doug Ford in Ontario, who have promised modest corporate tax cuts only to change course as they sought to eliminate deficits.
...
Some chamber of commerce shill was talking on Edmonton AM today about how crucial it is for the corporate tax rate to drop to 8% because jOb CrEaToRs; bitching about taxes, high minimum wage (let's introduce "training wages"), carbon tax, and other anti-business "difficulties" in Alberta.Boy how is he going to maintain services with a plunge in revenue?....Ohhhh...
Cut it by a percent or two and call it a day. Cutting it by 4 percent over 4 years is a bit of a gamble especially if the deficit does not decrease by as much as forecasted currently. The UCP is also doing this to get companies located in places like Colorado and other Western US states to invest in AlbertaBoy how is he going to maintain services with a plunge in revenue?....Ohhhh...
that UK poll is for the European parliamentary election not for the UK Westminster elections
Because they have no ideas of their own, and their platform mostly consists of "we will do opposite of everyone else, unless everyone else isn't consistent in which case we will pick the shittier option".
Because the CPC is being lead with Scheer incompetence.A majority of Conservative voters support carbon taxation. So why are Conservative parties railing so hard against it?

Also because it has the word "tax" in it despite how the rebates works, hence them lying about price increases resulting in recent increases for gas prices before the tax having gone into effect.

I can't wait until campaigns are in full swing and they actually tell us their plans. This tiptoeing non-answer bullshit is difficult to listen to. Singh says nothing about whether he will keep a carbon tax or not, only says "it's not enough".
Chin is a former journalist who has worked at Queen's Park and as an aide to former B.C. Liberal premier Christy Clark. He was also tight with Trudeau and his team right from the beginning of Trudeau's campaign for the Liberal leadership in 2012, so this is in many ways a move back to where Chin started in the Trudeau orbit.
Holy fuck what did I just watch?
Singh I honestly don't care much if you support this one LNG project or not, but you owe it to people to sincerely answer questions Jesus Christ.
Singh needs to fire all his advisors. wtf is the point of this obfuscation strategy?
When you put ideology over everything else, its impossible to answer question like these let alone making any smart decisions when it comes down to issues with any nuance.
The NDP at a federal level is such a train wreck ATM.
Also I'm tired of politicians using the indigenous community as pawns in their political games.
There are indigenous communities that are both for and against the pipeline it upsets me when politicians on both sides of the debate try to use these groups to push their agenda.
When I make a Canada 2019 Election OT, i'll include it but that won't be for a while because i'm getting a bit tired of the defeatist attitude in this thread when we're not even into the summer (which, broken record time, saw the NDP leading in the polls in 2015 at roughly that time but that's not that we saw play out on election day).This might be a good link to add to the OP:

37% chance of a Conservative majority vs. 8% for the Liberals right now. It's going to take something massive for public opinion to shift between now and October.
Trump has just pardoned Conrad Black for his 2007 fraud in the US. Oh dear.
