THE PAIKIN PODCAST: Will the second try be the charm for Pierre Poilievre?

Poilievre lost his Carleton seat because he was honest about cutting the public service. The Carleton riding is heavy with public servants. Carney is cutting the public service but didn't disclose his plans until after he won the election.So if Poilievre had been underhanded and hid his intentions he might have won his seat of 19 years.

Yes the Longest Ballot Committee is responsible for most of those candidates. Essentially it's legal election interference.

You just described the current federal government as well.

Carney hasn't even been in power very long. To consider him as a PM who has shaped Canada is not only premature, it is naive.

So what do you think the connection is if any?

I respect Paikin, but his comments regarding Ukrainians never having thought that Russia would ever invade Ukraine are naive. For centuries, a significant portion of the territory that is now Ukraine was under Russian rule, first as part of the Russian Empire and later as a founding and constituent republic of the Soviet Union.There were many indications that Russia had an inclination to absorb Ukraine or at least keep it firmly within its sphere of influence long before the 2014 annexation of Crimea. This was a consistent theme in Russia's foreign policy under Vladimir Putin.

You have a penchant for fiction. You should write a book about how to win friends and influence people.

Poilievre has publicly stated he doesn't support Albertan secession. Not to mention any possible secession from Canada would take many years, maybe even a decade to enact. By that point Poilievre will have retired. He's been a member of Parliament for two decades.

@Real ElRight, they voted in favour of a return to Russia. While being prodded with the barrel of a gun.

@rwrhThat's right and Putin will likely get what he wants unfortunately.

How do Liberals and Conservatives differ in the clothes they wear?

"Ketchin suggested that the government should require 50 per cent of alcohol in convenience and grocery stores be Ontario products".I disagree. Grocery and convenience stores should have the autonomy to stock their shelves with the alcohol products that they want. If a product that people desire isn't found in abundance they will listen to customer feedback and act accordingly.

"Propping up companies who are not viable on thier own while they have several on payroll making well over $200,000 per year is not in the best interest of Canadians".Who are you talking about?

Okay let's try this again. Auto correct interfered with my earlier comment.These guys are accused of a lot of things but being smart is not one of them.

A. Unless you have a magic crystal ball you have no idea why future wars will be fought.B. The US and Ukraine have signed a minerals deal that will give the US access to some of Ukraine's natural resources, including rare earth minerals, in exchange for continued US investment in Ukraine's defense and economic recovery. The agreement establishes a joint investment fund to support mineral, oil, and gas projects in Ukraine for the first 10 years, with profits shared between the two countries. This deal is seen as a way to secure US commitment to Ukraine's defense and economic recovery, while also providing Ukraine with a pathway to economic growth and stability.
@rwrhThat remains to be seen.
