Yeah, it's funny how people have to dance around that - it all came up again this year because of the Apollo 11 anniversary.
Doug Ford says he'll reconsider carbon tax challenge if federal Conservatives lose election
There was a tweet about this ealier in the week, but here is an actual article. They couldn't be more obvious about what they have been doing with their backtracks if they tried.

That would be an awesome result, in terms of promoting progressive (and environmental) policies in Canada.
I assume that means the Liberals would govern with an effective majority for at least 2 years since presumably the NDP will be trying to find a new leader yet again and not bring down the government and I'm not sure what kind of deal the Conservatives would be able to make with the BQ and/or the Greens.
Which means more pipelines and deferred prosecutions I guess?
Interestingly enough, Borris Johnson is actually steering Donald Trump to dial down on his China tarifs.
Macron still loves Trudeau.
Johnson and Trudeau want free trade between the UK and Canada

Trudeau needs to diversify our trade and get us away from China.
I don't think anybody doesn't want this. The main question going around is just how long we wait and how hard we should push the boot onto the desperate UK.
this, we can't do anything as long as the UK is still in the EU. I just hope the UK doesn't waste their time starting trade talks with the US. Then we'll never get a deal done.
Which makes NDP and Greens being against CETA bizarre.
Naturally after October 31st.
UK will be on a disadvantage, Canada could be in position of getting the sweeter part of the deel
PKP showed up at the Bloc's Campaign launch event. Still talking about the Air Transat deal and evaluating what role he will play in the upcoming campaign. I take it his empire will go Bloc all the way.
The Air Transat stuff is really fascinating. He already used his empire to run an ad complaining about the Transat sale while owning 1,6% of the shares. If that isn't a conflict of interest I don't know what it is.

PKP is a loser
He uses his media platforms to manipulate public opinion towards ethnic nationalism

He's definitely what I would call Trump-lite character and policy wise but he currently deserves his schadenfreude a bit though. At a time where media are waiting for handouts from the government his empire certainly is doing better than the rest thanks to his consolidation strategy. His competitors always accused him of poorly running his business compared to his father and yet he's the one surviving in the current climate.
He's definitely trying to comeback in politics and it's certainly not good news for the people here.
Right wing dickheads looking at photos of Trudeau and Trump meetings and concluding that Trump is the one with dominant body language always cracks me up. Every single photo of Trump meeting a world leader he's either submissive or bored or both.
His media did get a big handout.
Quebec Premier Landry intervened in 2000 to prevent the sale of Videotron to go to Rogers.
La Caisse de Dépôt used public money to give Videotron to PKP

Pierre-Karl Peladeau, owner of TVA, Videotron, QMI, Journal de Montréal.
His newspapers are packed to the brim with White Nationalists
Nah, not really.
Trump/his team probably saw the Melania pic trending. Then went searching for the first semi-popular tweet making fun of Trudeau they could find and it was Ezra's. The bit about about having a productive meeting is just to appear mature but it's as childish as it gets.
It's good. Pretty standard.
They can be a lot more aggressive.
Thats a really good ad. They have a real shot at being able to finally hammer away at some of the more hard-lined Conservative talking points this election cycle. Somebody needs to start hitting back at Conservative talking points of them being "For the People" or "Good for the Economy", so I'm glad that the Liberals are making that a major focus.
The best part is how Smeer isn't even mentioned. He's such a nothing that it's not necessary.
The 'Ford factor' and battleground Ontario
Suck it you assholes.
Like everyone predicted. It's bullshit that the provincial party can basically campaign for the Federal one. But if that's the case then the Federal party can suffer for the sins of the Ford.

Considering many Canadians still don't know who the opposition leader is or who is the leader of the Conservatives is, it is a good strategy to not give him any name recognition.
and LOL edit
ON TSN I just saw an Anti-Andrew Scheer ad paid by Unifor (labour union).
The ad: a guy at a hockey rink is plunking a loony in a Cola vending machine with the Conservative logo. Ford gets name dropped LOL
can't find the add anywhere on the internet

good that they're backtracking on this.
Yeah I opened the thread to post this. We really need to be taxing more than $50 so it's really good to see that they're open to getting there.
They really need to start pumping up the carbon tax such that it makes public transportation and EVs more economically feasible -- preferably while dumping carbon tax money into transit infrastructure projects.
People aged 35-49 seem to be big on the Green Party compared to other demos.
Would make sense. That demographic would be most likely to have young children. Meaning parents who are worried about their futures.
It's also the demographic where people who can afford to have already begun buying homes. And after the past couple years of wildfires, mass flooding, infrastructure disruption and extreme frost damage they are starting to feel it in their back pockets.
Maxime's billboards are being take down. Good riddance.
This study is going to be mentioned an awful lot by Liberals
Ironically, electoral reform would have elected a Conservative minority come October, LOL
The one issue that Trudeau reneged on is the one that saves his government electorally :P
Just because FPTP works in our favor once-in-a-while doesn't mean its the right thing to do. I'd take Conservatives getting the most seats once in a while if it also means they don't ever get more than 35% of the seats and thus never truly hold the balance of power again.
