POLL: Carney has modest lead in two-way Liberal race

41

Everything about this forced leadership campaign is being decided amongst the so called opponents,, the party knows full well that they are not going anywhere anytime soon, because Trudeau couldn't have left them in a worse place,,, They probably won't even be the official opposition, and maybe not even enough to remain a recognized party,,No different from the situation the conservatives were in when Mulroney was done with his political career,, Like Justin, Bryan was only thinking about himself.

Carney to visit Governor General, kicking off federal election

The liberal party has not changed, the tarot cards have only one new picture on them, the rest of them have only been shuffled,,Hopefully Canadians realize that they don’t want what they had for the last decade,,

Mega snow blowers help city 'amp up' efforts to clear local roads

COLUMN: Federal election is about electing a champion for Canada

As I stated before, the liberals tarot card deck has only one new picture, the rest of the deck has only been shuffled to make people think that things are different, sorry folks but it’s the same old same old,,Justin’s financial advisor at the helm, and all the good soldiers nodding their heads and obeying the status quo, just like they did for a long long lost decade of stupidity and bad leadership,, I will be voting for the conservatives and I feel quite confident that I will never hear that budgets balance themselves,, Go Pierre Go, time to clear the air.

'Worst time': As Trudeau steps down, Simcoe North braces for election

OrilliaMatters

20

With respect WW , you seem to ignore what the people of Canada want, looking at the pols indicates that along with the people of Canada, his own MP's pretty much want him gone as well,, The anti Trudeau sentiments didn't start last night. it started long before the last election, had it not been for the NDP ( who by the way are going to pay a big price for what they did come election time ) he would have lost a vote of confidence early in his mandate. It's time to go, the earlier the better.

POLL: 80% say Carney was right to pick Europe for first foreign visit

US polls had Trump losing,, Wrong !That’s how I feel about polls,,P. P. has forgotten more about politics than Carney will ever know,, Wait and see is what I say.

City of Orillia has 87 employees on 2024 Sunshine List

No wonder the snow removal equipment is mostly in poor condition and braking down all the time,, the city can’t afford to look after it’s equipment ,, my goodness, isn’t time for a rebellion ?

COLUMN: Poilievre shouldn't bag on Trudeau for rising grocery costs

OrilliaMatters

13

I am totally certain that P. Poilievre will have a chance to back up what he's been saying for years now,, for starters he's been a member of Parliament since he was in his early twenties, finance being his first love, and all of it without a single scandal attached to his name, ( had there been a scandal I assure you that the Libs would have found it long ago ) held many important positions within the party,, too many to list here but easily looked up,, now let's just have a look at J. Trudeau, scandal after scandal from the time he was in his teens,, again way too many to list here, but google it, sit down and be prepared to read for a long while.For the majority of canadians there isn't even a single decision to make,, Trudeau has to do go.

Ontario pulling U.S. booze from LCBO shelves amid tariff feud

I CAN only imagine the stampede during the next three business days,,If Doug Ford-( Trump) was serious and not looking for publicity he would have simply and quietly had the LCBO staff take the American products off the shelves after closing the stores on Monday night.

'Bit of a weird thing': New city traffic circle gets mixed reviews

OrilliaMatters

18

Roundabouts are used successfully around the world, they keep traffic moving and eliminate congestion and higher speed collisions which is the main reason for them.I personally that they are fantastic by making drivers aware that they aren't the only ones on the road.

'Calculated decision': City plugging in 8 new EV charging stations

OrilliaMatters

17

As of January 20th you will see a very significant decreased of EVs hitting the road in the United States,, because the drill baby drill guy will completely change most things electrical,, For that reason alone the city of anywhere in North America should sit back and relax for a while,, including Orillia, unless they were not seeing what was going on politically.Just about every rule will change very soon and possibly change for the next right years even though the Tzar will only be able to stay on for four years,, What I'm saying is that the entire agenda of everything green is not going to happen for a while,, I know that it's going to happen eventually for sure but not at the galloping pace that we were expecting,, That includes Canada because the conservatives will surely replace the liberals in the coming election, throwing the binders here as well.

COLUMN: Local commenters should not hide behind false names

Very well written Mark, I hope that retirement is treating you well,, Just a couple of points about your opinion,, which I respect by the way,, the world isn’t always about wine and roses, and Orillia is still a very small community, the honesty that writers are able to express probably wouldn’t exist without anonymous voices, so if complete honesty isn’t what they want to hear,, they should stop the opinion part altogether, Orillia matters Has complete control over anything written and of course known exactly who is writing it, so I don’t agree with you on the point you make. With respect.

Who will replace Justin Trudeau? We will know tonight

OrilliaMatters

12

We already know who, he’s been crowned behind closed doors,, the candidates were all in on it,, It’s a remake of the original All in the family TV sitcom,,The next chapter is going to be more interesting though,,The instant taxpayers see all of them standing behind Carbon Carney bobbing their heads in agreement like they did for Justin over the last decade will bring back the old feeling of wanting to get rid of them,,

COLUMN: A strong mandate from voters? Ford already has one

OrilliaMatters

15

As a conservative of many many years, I now believe that politicians of all stripes have egos that make them think that they are the smartest people on earth, and Doug Ford is one of them,,He needs to be punished for that, a $3 billion dollar bribery check just before calling a useless election that will cost $ 160 million dollars for the said election,,Tell me why this money didn’t go our crumbling health care and education.I’m definitely punished him next month,, are you with me?

Unfortunately we don’t live in a country that has a constant 20 degrees temperature with no rain or snow, so it’s time to get over it and deal with it,, Past generations did it and here we are.
