Canada is a failed state

[Rainbow Child]

Natives and greens will poo poo anything we try with resource extraction, which should be our biggest money maker.

What's funny (sad?) is that the Greens have a New Year's wishlist of demagoguery and they think they they can build it all out of rich people's money, as if affordable housing is constructed from ones and zeros on a bank's computer instead of from lumber.



As for cLiMaTe AcTiOn, I see this as a pacifisation strategy. You've got people who really want to conserve the environment, and you've got techbros like David Gelbaum buying out conservation movements to stop saying things that are bad for business. If you're a sell out environmental group, you've got to pacify the base somehow, if you want to keep collecting those Gelbaum doubloons. cLiMaTe AcTiOn is perfect for that: unfalsifiable, invisible, enemy, that's the cause of everything from droughts to floods, from heatwaves to coldsnaps; you pay your carbon tax, and you subliminate that urge to conserve.

A wishlist is not a platform. You need a plan, an actionable plan. "We're going to rob the rich and give it to the poor". So, houses made out of money? Wheelchairs made out of money? Oh wait, by "disabled", you mean trannies and munchies, not cripples. Dilators made out of money? And when the rich pull an Atlas Shrugged on your asses and leave? What then?

It's especially sick how much cover the Greens have run for the Liberals after all the broken promises. Remember pRoPorTiOnaL RePreSenTatIon? Remember cleaning up the water on the Rez? Greens, figure it out. You're suckers at every level.

Honestly Trudeau's policies have been so bad just reversing a handful will put us on course to boom time.

Reversing the "tax on everything" carbon tax, not to mention the insane capital gains change, along with fixing the broken catch&release "weak on crime" policy will immediately make it more lucrative to do business. Loosening regs for resource extraction and repair relations with the US for exports will increase the value of the Canadian dollar. Both will lead everyone in the country to feel richer and boost consumer confidence.

I wouldn't be surprised to see in excess of 5% GDP growth after a couple years, more than enough buffer to handle a few million deportations.

Before 2000 the capital rates inclusion rate was 75% and the 2/3 rate. We should increase it back up keeping the thresholds for small business owners to pay capital gains at the lower "inclusion" rates.

Well, that's the thing about the Green Party. They can promise you the moon and stars because there is no chance of them becoming a relevant force in politics for the foreseeable future. It is nothing more than a personal platform Elizabeth May she can strut around Ottawa like she's a VIP. Seriously. This woman is in love with the sound of her own voice and her press conferences only fuel her narcissism. Her ten-minute retirement was a disaster for the party because the only reason why people even paid attention to them was for May's drunken antics.

Speaking of elections there's now a consistent rumour Sock Boy will finally appear sometime early this week and announce his resignation. Lines up with the other reporting on the Lib's national caucus meeting Wednesday so might be an interesting week.

When is the non-confidence vote? I honestly hope Trudeau doesn't resign so that Poilievre can easily win in the inevitable election.

Take your bets on tomorrow, folks! I'm going with Trudeau prorogues parliament until October. Turning himself into a full-blown dictator until the election and fulfilling his duties as Fidel Castro's bastard son.

He can't prorogue for 10 months. At best he'll have to reconvene sometime in like late March or early April because Parliament has to be in session to approve finances and the public sector's payroll has to be renewed by then or else there's going to be a US-style shutdown.

My guess is that he's going to call for a leadership race but declare himself to be the 'interim' leader while the party clubs itself over the head. That way he can keep his inner circle on cabinet payrolls for a few more months.

Impossible to say. If everything goes absolutely perfectly with the Conservatives' committee loophole there could be an election called at the end of January, but there's a lot of needles to thread to make it work. This supposed declaration Trudeau is going to make is happening tomorrow while the committee meeting that's supposed to kick off the Conservative non-confidence attempt happens on Tuesday and the six-hour Liberal caucus struggle session is supposed to be on Wednesday, so it seems like Justin is going to try to scuttle both threats with his timing.

At this point I don't give a fuck how he gets out of office as long as Trudeau fucks off I'll be satisfied

Doubt the GG would allow it. And I doubt Trudeau would ask it.

It's bad form to trigger an election during a leadership race -- if the Conservatives pull that they open up the opportunity for it to happen to them in the future so I really don't think they will.

That leaves the Liberals an incentive to drag it out as long as they can get away with. Trudeau resigns as Liberal leader but stays as Prime Minister, until a leadership race can finish in 3 months. That's my bet.

This situation is the product of the Liberals legislating their own party into a dictatorship where there's no recourse for the party to review and replace their leader. The Conservatives would have to make a colossal unforced error for this to be a practical precedent.

I want to see a drinking competition between Lizzie May and Nancy Pelosi. Pelosi is going to be drank under the table by May.

Maybe he'll have a "staged" attempt on his life, and thus he enables Emergency Powers to put Canada into Martial Law, like how Yoon tried to do in South Korea, and he goes full-on Caescascu. (spelling?) If that happens, I'm not sure if there will be a Christmas Day event like what happened to Caescascu in Romania.

It is worth noting that a crown speech follows prorogation, which requires a confidence vote. Given that none of the opposition parties have a reason to prop him up and that he faces a full-on mutiny if he refuses to resign, it would not be a good idea unless he resigns so that the party can hold a leadership convention. Prorogation could also potentially exacerbate because an increasing number of Canadians want an election so the next government has a strong mandate to deal with the Orange Man. Denying the public this would turn even more Canadians against the Liberals.

Of course, Trudeau's in full-blown wounded narcissist mode. He would just as like destroy as much as he can to punish Canadians for rejecting his "benevolent" leadership.

Pretty much this. The Libs brought this situation on themselves - no other party is required to play nice just because they're now speed running the five stages of grief. Easy enough to keep Trudeau in for a while longer, hold an election, and then pick a new leader. Or find a willing Kim Campbell to serve as the sacrificial lamb. Nothing is going to save them and any delay in the inevitable will just make the upcoming electoral thrashing even worse for them.

Pro Tip: If you're is planning to leave Canada to places like Mexico, avoid doing this with little cash. Many Canadians move to Mexico because they don't agree with their government. Don't do it if you have no secure place to stay.

it is a momentous day cucknadians, the "peoplekind not mankind" faggot may resign before the caucus meeting on Wednesday.

Praying he stays in as long as possible just to drag his party down further and further. It's not like whoever ends up holding the bag come election time will be any better so you might as well make the most embarrassing mess on the way out.

 

[Alex Hogendorp]

I used to plan on leaving Canada but I ultimately decided to stay for my relatives in Canada and protect them. I'm only going to Mexico for snowbird reasons.
