Andrew SchmeerrrrrrrYou are operating on the same intellectual level as Trump supporters who called Obama Obummer, or Clinton Shillary. It just shows your lack of mental maturity, not that anyone here was unaware.

The subtlety will be lost on the general public which i guess they're counting on.
May said the primary conditions for Green support of a minority government are adherence to the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change position — that global warming must be held below a 1.5 C increase above pre-industrial levels — and a pledge for a "dramatic transformational commitment" to cut carbon emissions in Canada.
"We will not, even for a first speech from the throne confidence vote, work with any party that isn't fully committed to going off fossil fuels quickly," May said.
"That means you can't be building any pipelines, you can't be fracking, you have to cancel the LNG (liquid natural gas) plant in Kitimat, you have to actually mean what you say — that we are committed to cutting 60 per cent of greenhouse gases by 2030."
The elevation of politics would be amazing if Greens were Opposition to the Liberals. Not just in Commons but in common.On non-environmental issues, May cited social justice proposals as a priority for the Greens. She said the proposals make the Greens "more progressive" than the New Democratic Party.
Key proposals are national pharmacare, a guaranteed livable income, free tuition for post-secondary students, elimination of existing student debt and a federal investment in colleges and universities.
They would increase revenues by hiking corporate taxes on large companies, such as banks and internet giants, but not on small or medium-sized businesses. They would cancel the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion and halt fossil fuel industry subsidies.
The Greens have submitted their election platform to the Parliamentary Budget Officer (PBO) for inspection and advice before announcing costed details. But May has promised that her party would balance the federal budget over five years. Their numbers are not available until after PBO inspection.
The Cons are dumb. All they had to do to win this election was from day one say they would have only one promise to make sure they would carry it out: abolish the GST and a freeze on income tax rate for ten years. Any time any question is asked you pivot back to this. Done, victory, with a majority.
Carbon tax? Lol. People have no idea what that is.
No one is going to abolish the GST. And Brian Mulroney introduced the GST. Lol
They represent that voice in Canada that's willing to take the hit! lolYou can't cancel the TransMountain Expansion and the LNG plant unless you want China to sue Canada into bankruptcy.
And I'd love to see the numbers on how they'll do all that in their platform and balance the budget in 5 years.
Fuck ChinaYou can't cancel the TransMountain Expansion and the LNG plant unless you want China to sue Canada into bankruptcy.

Doesn't matter. Just it by half. Whatever the case, they would win. Saying you'll cut taxes is all it takes to win.

Freezing the income tax rate isn't a tax cut....The Cons are dumb. All they had to do to win this election was from day one say they would have only one promise to make sure they would carry it out: abolish the GST and a freeze on income tax rate for ten years. Any time any question is asked you pivot back to this. Done, victory, with a majority.
Fuck China
I didn't know they were involved.
Now I want Trans Mountain cancelled
Remember when the RCMP and CSIS accused the Chinese government of purchasing real estate in Canadian urban centers as a method of threatening Canada? No? That's because the recommendations from a former classified program called Sidewinder was abandoned. All documents were ordered destroyed, and buried in 1997 by the Liberal government. Turns out we were as anxious to build ties with China then as we are now. Despite our national spy services advising the government that, well…this would happen to real estate.
Reminder for Canadians living abroad: YOU CAN VOTE!
Just register as a voter abroad at elections.ca. It takes 30 seconds with the right documents (passport & birth certificate)
Don't want to sound dismissive, but this is just stupid.
I clicked on the article just to make sure the contents might be different from the lede. Nope. Take it as face value.
Not only that, even if it was true what they said, how the fuck is Scheer going to du better with less experience

According to a weekly rolling poll by Nanos Research that came out last week, the Liberals had the support of 35.4 per cent of Canadians, the Conservatives 31.2 per cent, the NDP 15.6 per cent, and the Green Party had the support of 10.2 per cent. The poll of 1,000 Canadians had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.
In the vote-rich province of Ontario, with 121 electoral seats, the Liberals were the choice of 40 per cent of Ontarians, the Conservatives 32.3 per cent, the NDP 16.9 per cent, and the Green Party had the nod of 9.2 per cent of residents in the province.
In Quebec, with 78 electoral seats, the second highest in the country, the Liberals had a whopping 24-percentage points lead over the second-place Bloc Québécois with 42 per cent and 17.9 per cent support, respectively. The Conservatives were running a close third with 15.4 per cent support, the NDP 12.1 per cent, and the Green Party were the choice of 9.5 per cent of Quebecers.
Conversely, the Conservatives had a massive lead over the second-place Liberals in the three Prairie provinces with 47.5 per cent and 20.9 per cent support, respectively. The three provinces, including Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, carried a combined total of 62 electoral seats. The third-place NDP had the support of 19.2 per cent, and the Green Party was the choice of eight per cent of Canadians living in the Prairies.
In the four Atlantic provinces, with the combined total of 32 electoral seats, the Conservatives and Liberals were tied within a margin of error, with 38.5 and 36.9 per cent support, respectively. The Green Party had the support of 12.7 per cent and the NDP 7.9 per cent.
In British Columbia, which is expected to be a key battleground in the upcoming election with four-way splits, the Liberals were leading the pack with 36 per cent support, followed by the Conservatives with 26 per cent. The NDP support was at 19 per cent and the Green Party 15 per cent.
The poll also suggested that 46.7 per cent of Canadians think that Mr. Trudeau has qualities of a good political leader compared to second-place Green Party Leader Elizabeth May (Saanich-Gulf Islands, B.C.), who had the approval of 40.3 per cent. Mr. Scheer was the choice of 36.6 per cent and Mr. Singh had the support of 28.6 per cent of Canadians.
LPC at 40% in ON, 42% QC, 37% ATL, 36% BC
Bruh if what Nanos is reporting is true, the Cons are trailing badly. We haven't even got to debates and campaigns yet, where Scheer will no doubt prove to be a jobber
Now Scheer just has to decide if it's worth it to shift even further right to regain those votes.The risk of early conservative vote splitting between Scheer and Bernier was probably one of the factors the Liberals considered when they decided to have a very short election campaign.
Nantel is not a candidate you would want
He's a Bloc lifer who was picked by TomAss Mulcair as NDP candidate for St_Hubert, won in 2015 but then crossed the floor to the Greens when he saw public opinion in Quebec turn against religious head gear.
Nantel is not a man of conviction, he just wants a public paycheck
St-Hubert will either go back to Bloc or go Liberal
The only obvious and immediate effect is see here is that it will be difficult to tell which schools are public and which are private just from the name. Dunno what their end game is.
Article raises some suspicions.

Schools are a successful and popular core part of our public services. Conservatives are ideologically opposed to public services and schools are a successful example of social democracy that doesn't fit with their ideology. Removing the word 'public' from schools obfuscates and hides this example of successful public works and places private schools on the same level as public schools. This is probably a first step toward treating private and public schools more evenly, either defunding public schools or directing public money toward private schools.
I'm not sure what to say. They keep hitting new lows. She literally is Jill Stein.
I don't think they smelled the NDP orange blood in the water like they do now and they're trying to pick up any seats they can.Jesus what's going on with the Green Party? Where was all this in the previous years?
