  • Ahhh shit yeah election reform. That remains my biggest gripe with him actually. Good point bringing up the pipeline, I get why it was needed but it still stings. Immigration, while I agree is being executed poorly, is unfortunately needed for a stagnant nation like ours. I think I agree that he’s not terrible but not great. However, his ineptitude gets blown away out of proportion by the cons and I feel like lefties are afraid to voice their support.


  • Yeah I mean I don’t want to be presumptuous, but that seems like all there is to it. I do know the whole SNC Lavelin and ArriveCan controversies aren’t good looks, but other than that, I think he’s been a really good PM. I actually SEEK out info that says otherwise because I feel like I’m going crazy being the only one to say it.









  • I’ve seen quite a few posts and articles recently citing the Canadian Taxpayer Federation. I want to provide some information about who the CTF is, according to Wikipedia:

    The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF; French: Fédération canadienne des contribuables) is a federally incorporated, non-profit organization in Canada. The Federation describe as a populist “citizens advocacy group” but critics accuse it to be an astroturf organization.

    They have 5 members, or board of directors, who decide the direction of the organization. Many of their directors go on to or come from conservative, separatist, or far-right political parties. A number have gone on to be editors for right wing media such as the Toronto Sun and the National Post.

    So when they say "x% of Canadians disagree with [liberal policy], just keep in mind who their respondents are and what the organizations here to do.
