No we won't. The USA is in the process of imploding.

This is beyond foolish. People NEED to park, they aren't 'ADDICTED'. This is just a cash grab behind poor city planning.

What would PP do in the tariff war? Carney isn't jetting around the world for photo ops. He's seeking and acquiring more fair and stable trading partners.

How is he doing that? Please give some specifics. He has nothing to offer except criticism.

It's not obvious. Could you please provide some specific examples and information. What specifically can PP offer?

Do you realize the cost to the environment from internal combustion vehicles? There in lays a scam. You should educate yourself a bit before condemning EVs. Think about the infrastructure, and pollution involved and required to keep gas engines in the market.

Nope. How? He offers nothing but criticism.

Carney won. PP lost, and rightfully so. PP has nothing to offer except criticism. Carney cut taxes on middle class income and the inflation rate rose only .2% averaged over a year. PP is useless.

You post doesn't make sense and is short on specifics.

Most of the shopping carts being pushed around are not full of stolen goods. They are full of personal possessions. They are, sadly, all that people have left.

I prefer "left wing" to "right wing" as you want to put it. I call it common sense vs nonsense. PP is out of depth, out of his element, and has no platform except "Trudeau BAD". Carney has real life experience and real education.

My goodness, there are a few penny pinching Grinchs on here that really hate seeing other people enjoying life. The Roswell Trail and bike paths are the best things this city has done for enjoyment, safety and well being. I feel sorry for you misers.

Hey seaking, bike paths are not frivolous. Thousands of people use them. All the things you call a waste of money actually contribute to the quality of life in this city. I'll admit the plaza is an overpriced project, but bike paths and splash pads are wonderful. You ought to get out more and enjoy these things instead of wringing your hands at all the money spent where you don't agree it is being spent. You don't have to spend money just on the majority of people. You can do both.

I see people using the bike lanes in the area you are referring to. And they are using them properly. It's rare to see otherwise. I see many people using them when I ride that stretch of road. And I do that at least 5 days a week. This is not a small interest group. It promotes healthy activities, social interactions and fresh air. It doesn't take away from cars using that stretch of road. When was the last time you saw a traffic jam in that area? 1980? Pedestrians also use the extra wide path on the south side of queen st. Not sure what you are upset about. Bike lanes, and the Hub Trail have enhanced this city, not burdened it, and far more than a small interest group enjoy the benefits.

Carney has already saved Canada once when PC Harper had economy in turmoil, highest unemployment, highest interest.Liberals got us through covid, With interest rates lowered again. Carney has support from the overwhelming majority of provincial premiers. And he will have the best economic plan. While working in England, he was brilliant at calming the markets and was a voice of reason at a time when the political side of things was full of emotion and irrationality. He was the main sane person in the room during the Brexit madness period of 2016-2021. He'd make the better Prime Minister. Housing and homelessness is a provincial/municipal responsibility. Yet the federal liberals strategy launched with $115 billion and included the National Housing Co-Investment Fund. Since 2017, the Federal Government has committed over $1 billion, in addition to the Bilateral Agreements with provinces, directly to address the illegal toxic drug and overdose crisis. There is a platform.

Pierre Poilievre wants to remain in the dark. At least that’s what he’s doing by continuing to refuse the top-secret security clearance required to read classified government documents.

But P.P is straight forward? We must be looking at 2 different people.

My life is better. What spaewife59, opinionated, Point Blank and SaultAntonio said are some of the best reasons that liberals are better at leading the country than conservatives. Plus PP is a fool and Trump wanna be. He has NO plan or idea. Carney has already saved Canada once when PC Harper had economy in turmoil with highest unemployment, highest interest, huge debt, etc. Polievre has been meeting with right wing conspiracy theorists since 2020, q anon for one. Google this, all the articles are educational on what a nasty man pp really is.

Your post is full of lies and misdirection. We ARE in a trade war, and Trump is a REAL threat. The fact that you doubt this says a lot about your lack of critical thinking skills.

This isn't about winning, it's about fairness. Carney IS a financial guru, and it isn't him saying it, even Harper thought so. What is your strategy to get us through this?
