I think the follow up was posted in the election thread - they're just going to use BC's ratings.
I wonder how much money they would have saved cutting this tiny agency.
What is it about Scheer, and his policies, and his views, that you support strongly?

Not as Advertised!as a strong Scheer supporter, I don't see how this is suppose to sway my view in any way. It literally just shows me what little Justin has accomplished during his years in office... nothing but empty promises.
Nice hair though
lol
I think despite JT's walking back on electoral reform and maybe one or two things or not going hard enough, he's done relatively okay as a Prime Minister if only because it required undoing a lot of Harper's garbage (unmuzzling scientists, bringing the StatsCan's census back, cancelling the less popular pipeline). The economy is stable, the stress test for mortgages was helpful (even if the new home buyer's incentive will undo some of that), relations with first nations and foreign nations have improved if only because of greater cooperation, improved social consciousness by maintaining that we remain a diverse and inlusive society because even if it's mostly lipservice it is still meaningful (thankfully he also did things like welcoming the Syrian refugees).
I don't know what Scheer would actually bring to the table but dumbstuff that will have to be undone again.

That Climate Action checklist isn't designed to sway "strong" Scheer supporters. Why would it? Why would you care about "empty promises" on an underlying issue that doesn't concern you in any way?
It's like whining about "empty promises" made to Indigenous Peoples in Canada, then revealing you're Lynn Beyak.
If Trudeau did something that isn't seen as an "empty promise" to a strong Scheer supporter, Scheer would run on a con platform to undo it. Doug Ford is perfect example of this. Make Ontario Dumb Again.
lol, I'm gay and don't feel at all concerned about my rights should Scheer take office. I know he's made some poorly thought out comments about gay marriage in the past, and he's entitled to have his own opinion, but I believe him (and the conservatives in general) are at a point now of leaving well enough alone. I'm concerned about my financial future living in Canada as a full-time employeed Canadian Citizen, and my government should be too.
What is Trudeau doing that's giving you economic anxiety? If that's your concern, why post that Climate Action checklist and complain about empty promises?
I'm gay and feel very much concerned. You may have the privileged position to allow yourself to look past the reactionary, fundamentalist, and convert-or-burn forces he's courting, but I don't. Must be nice to live by fuck you, got mine.
dude got handed a growing economy by Harper, then went ahead with tax hikes. Look at the state of our trades, and interest rates. I'm not saying those things weren't bound to happen by external factors, but I would at least like to have a government that is actually proactive. I do not trust the Liberals at all, or any of these other parties with niche priorities.
Ah yes that growing...recession that Harper's economic policies contributed to along with the billions he added to the deficit. Fiscal conservatism!
Also if one of your major concerns with the current Trudeau government is an inability to trust them, I have no idea how you reconcile that with Scheer's secretive talk to anti-choice candidates. Or how he refuses to answer why he chose a white supremacist to manage his party's campaign.
You're being intentionally vague.
What is Scheer going to do that will ease your concerns? If lower taxes is the only thing you care about, then just say that.
What about them? If you want to talk about the economy, let's talk about it. But you need to qualify your statements.
You're not saying anything here.
What are the niche priorities? Climate change?

They added a new tax bracket at the top a d they closed some tax loopholes that people were exploiting, which Andy wants to bring back.
Lol
Ahh yes the Liberals and co have niche priorities while the great Andy has the white priorities eh?

Looks like the big telecoms won their appeal against the CRTC regarding the charges for network access to other ISPs.
Yaaaaaaaaaay shitty oligopolies!

Well, it was nice having cheaper Internet for one month at least.
They did not win the appeal. They have been granted a temporary stay until the appeal is heard.
Tax on split income is one of the best things Trudeau did. As an accountant its crazy how a doctor making 500k can split income with their spouse and children and lower the effective tax rate by a lot. Especially if their children were in school and 18 you could give each kid like 40k in dividends and pay close to zero tax. In what world is that fair.
I loved how people didn't understand the rule (they should have had better marketing and explanation when it came out) as family businesses like local restaurants and others were not impacted at all but whenever They were interviewed they thought they would be paying more in tax.

As a fellow accountant, don't even get me started on how ridiculously long the carry-forward/back rule can be applied.
Oh hey, that's the MPP from my old riding. I was hella bummed that she won but good for her for addressing that clown show of a party election.
This one is already >14K posts and new Canadian Parliament = new thread.
So, how much do you think this stupid Wexit* will get played up in Alberta. I already hated Kenney winning and now if I have to go through all this Wexit* bullshit and it gets play in the media will be awful. if somehow a Brexit happens I will be so sad.
Also, can anyone explain equalization payments in detail or a rebuttal to it as all I see are people bitching about it again on FB.
Just happy Liberals won a good number of seats and can do stuff with NDP. Hopefully some good bills get passed that help all Canadians and people in general.

Alberta/Saskatchewan don't have the population to make an effective protest movement like Quebec, so I don't think WEXIT will go anywhere unless, like in my fan fiction, Alberta teams up with Quebec to destroy confederation.
Yes, someone will link it here once a new thread is made.
All the Alberta "separatists" showing off their edcuation.
"We have Facebook groups and online petitions!"
"We have Facebook groups and online petitions!"
Okay Alberta, time for you to separate now! You buttered your fucking bread, now EAT IT.
(Progressives in Alberta, please report to your nearest relocation depot. We'll smuggle you out.)
