Poll: Conservatives eager for an early federal election

Conservatives eager for election. Who knew?They've been eager since they lost the last two.

POLL: Under a third of readers want an early Ontario election

The numbers aren't surprising. Nobody on the planet believes Doug Fords lies about why he's calling the election. The party faithful will toe the lie of course, but the rest of us aren't stupid enough to believe it. It's a waste of $200 million bucks on a power grab. Plain and simple.

BREAKING: Premier Doug Ford to call snap election next week, sources say

I don't like my tax money being wasted on an utterly unnecessary election. This "mandate" thing is pure baloney, and everyone knows it.I'd rather see the election held at its scheduled date. That way if Doug is doing a lousy job dealing with Trump we can get rid of him, and if he's doing a great job he can win a third term. Why commit to another 4 years now?

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

The deficit and the carbon tax are Trudeau policies. The Finance minister can't control the Prime minister's decisions. You may have noticed she recently resigned her position due to Trudeau's policies.For instance who would you blame for Ontario going into debt a further $3 Billion to mail out vote-buying cheques? Doug Ford or his Finance Minister? (Bet you can't name the FM without looking it up)

TRILLIUM TALK: Like it or not, Ford insists we need an election

Whether Ford insists or not, the claim he needs an election to get a mandate is a lie. Pure and simple.And just cuz you say it over and over doesn't make it the truth. We all know what the truth is.

Ontario 'ripping up' $100 million deal with Elon Musk's Starlink in response to U.S. tariffs

Chump change for President Musk. He couldn't care less about $100 million. This is a futile gesture that only hurts people in remote communities. The money (and more) will just end up in the hands of Rogers and Bell anyway.

Poll shows serious leakage of support from NDP, Liberals to Tories

Russia has a very radical and strong leader. Are Russians better off? It's great if you're an Oligarch I suppose. The rest of them don't have much say in determining their own fates - its "do what you're told or be killed".

Poll: Home ownership becoming only for the rich, 4 of 5 readers fear

In the year 2000 the average home price in Canada was about 3.5 times the median family income.In 2023 that ratio has increased to 10.8. So relative to income, the price of homes has increased 300% since 2000. No wonder so many can't afford to buy a home.

Poll: Most favour tariffs on inexpensive Chinese-made electric cars

Also, people complain that Chinese EV manufacturing is heavily subsidized by government.Well, guess what? It is here too. Look at all the billions the Feds and the Province are "investing" in new vehicle and battery plants.

Canadians will head to the polls on April

Rant much?Same old same old. The Tories have been calling for Trudeau to go since he was first elected. They're running scared now because the Liberals picked a leader who has all the credibility that Poilievre and his rhyming slogans lack.Should be an interesting race.

Poll: Two-thirds don't expect to see the Leafs win the Cup in their lifetimes

Why would anything change? The Leafs are a cash cow. Fans spend the money win or lose. The ownership isn't likely to spend the money necessary to build a winning team when they can make just as much money with a bunch of losers.
