    I'm guessing I'm one of the only ones bothered by the appearance of this group's attack ads against the Conservatives/Erin O'Toole.  The article points out how the ads are playing fast and easy with the truth, qualifying these ads as disinformation.  Wonder if Trudeau will call this "noise" as well?

    I really have no answers.  Trudeau is an idiot who is completely incompetent and out of touch with reality...

    O’Tool seems like a decent man who is trying modernize the conservatives...

    But at this point I think Singh is the most prepared to be PM...

    I think we'll keep getting Minority governments. Conservatives will keep handily winning the Prairies but struggle to get other seats.  NDP will get their seats from the far left support. Liberals will end up taking what's left.

    I don't think really think we have any valid choices that lead to a majority government.

    I would not mind a minority with Singh as the Prime Minister.

    Man, I had to google Kinsella and go to his twitter to see the clip... and Kinsella’s absolutely right, what the fuck is Trudeau on there? Too bad that even if we had the ability to recall politicians he’d stay in office.

    At least he’s good for a laugh, the gun legislation they introduced will do nothing to keep people safe and I’m quite sure the gangsters that killed a guy which I was close to last year were laughing (for a different reason, I laugh so as not to cry, lol).

    It’s getting sad.  Warren Kinsella knows his shit.  He’s a liberal who worked in the Chrétien government.  Trudeau IS not a liberal...he is so far left even Singh is scratching his head.  What’s going on in China is genocide and my guess China must have dirt on Trudeau...because no Canadian PM would allow themselves to continually get bitched slapped by China ... of course this is Trudeau and he ain’t no prime minister...

    I'm genuinely curious why you think so, the columns I've read have mostly seemed reasonable and researched (unlike many of my own posts, lol).

    I'll be honest, I was concerned when (I believe) CBC did a story about the guy building the "shelters" with the bent that the city should approve these.  At the time I thought it might end in litigation since the builder wasn't going to stop.  With a homeless person dying in (presumably) one of these shelters I wonder if the builder feels any personal responsibility?

    I fully acknowledge that homelessness is no simple issue with many, many facets to it, exacerbated by the pandemic.

    Edit to add that the death occurred last week.  One person dead after fire at Toronto homeless encampment | CTV News

    Minassian found guilty today, with the judge rejecting his NCRMD plea. Based on the info I have read, I think this is the correct verdict. The argument for NCRMD seemed scant.

    warm this thread back up
    an election is coming 
    Libs pick new GG and are making spending announcements freely 
    I will predict another Lib minority with a slim chance of a squeaker of a majority

    i always wondered why canadians on here are so obsessed with American politics when their own country is such a mess in itself.
