Gonna be funny watching him desperately try to promise that he'll cut it when election season rolls around...

If he doesn't drop out, it's gonna get ugly. His party knows that they will be tied to this wholly unpopular shit, once he loses. He's burning them all down, and they know it.

I wouldn't be so sure. The libs will all just vote NDP. They will never admit their policies don't work.

Yup, I am pretty pessimistic.

The long term issue is we compete with the US, not compliment the US like Mex does so we are currently missing out on the reindusterilization of NA. Peter Zeihan makes this case very well.

Plus the house of cards of our immigration policy is calling apart with as many as 1/3 of new Canadians leaving.

Add to this the decreasing productivity vs. the US over the last 20 years.

That article paints a much rosier picture than actuality. A slight increase above forecast hardly negates the long term outlook. Highest debt to income per capita in the G7, way below average in next gen tech sectors, lowest productivity in a long while. Our saving grace as of right now is a strong us economy and a weak cdn dollar.

That holds weight if that was the totality of the carbon tax. It's not, it's a levy on existing tax. Basically as high as 47% percent of gas cost comes from government tax, with 18% of that comes from the carbon tax.

Juxtapose that with a government that spent 32 billion dollars to increase pipelines in order to increase Canadian oil production to an all time high. So the message is Canadians should drive less (impacting travel tourism and small business the most) while Canada tries to export even more oil to other countries?

Not to mention that the transparency of tax collected vs rebates vs spending of tax is so nebulous that no one has a clear understanding of the economic flow of the program

And we are still adding to that debt which is inflationary. New $15B for housing announced today.

Plus, our housing buble, how many Canadian will go broke, and how will all these defaults affect the big banks?

Trudy is actually still making it worse. Someone should tell him he can not dig his way out of a hole.
 
I mean, we just outsource our pollution to them. If we made it we'd have to deal with the pollution.

But in saying that carbon taxes are horseshit.

Some might, but the NDP is viewed as a joke by most. Singh is complete clown, and people see right through his bullshit. He only aligned with the Liberals to run out the clock on his tenure. He'll be gone when they lose again in the general, and he knows it. Without their desperate coalition, both would've been out by now. Most, even if they're Liberal, will not vote for the NDP. We're not as "ride or die" up here with our ideologies, as the US is.

I know plenty of lifelong NDP/Liberal voters, and they've all said "enough is enough", and are voting PC in the next election. If for nothing else, just to get rid of Trudeau. Voting for Singh is basically looked at as a third party vote up here. Just a complete waste. That's why I'm fairly confident in PP just destroying Trudeau in the next election. People who would never ever vote PC, are voting PC. They've fucking had it with Trudeau.
 
"Carbon tax"? This shit is real?

Canada's biggest swing on global climate change is to sell our cleaner resources to countries burning coal. They pay and carbon emissions are reduced on a huge scale.

I stead, liberals put all of the responsibility on its citizens.

Bullshit. It goes up every year and it’s 23% so that makes 100 worth of gas $23 extra and this shit adds up. Groceries and goods will be more expensive as well. This is going to fuck people on so many levels and on top of that, didn’t he give himself a raise? He is a liberal piece of shit and the biggest virtue signaler north of gavin newsome
