“Another Damn Election”

Another minority looks likely but it could be very different from the last one

OTTAWA — Canadians have chosen minority governments in four of the last six federal elections and Monday’s vote seems likely to produce a fifth.

Whether it will be a Liberal or Conservative minority is anyone’s guess.

Polls suggest the two parties are locked in a dead heat, neither within reach of winning a majority of seats in the House of Commons — much as they were in 2019 when Justin Trudeau’s Liberals won a relatively stable minority.

But that doesn’t mean this election will produce the same result.

Canada left out of new American-led security alliance thanks to Xi’s butt licker Trudeau

The United States is starting a new partnership on defence and security issues and Canada is not involved.

The new alliance called AUKUS, a play on the names of the countries involved, will be focused on being a counterbalance to China.

“Through AUKUS, our governments will strengthen the ability of each to support our security and defense interests, building on our longstanding and ongoing bilateral ties,” a joint statement said.

Goodness China is angry, Justin is sad.

Aukus: China denounces ‘irresponsible’ US-UK-Australia pact

China has denounced a historic security pact between the US, UK and Australia, describing the alliance as “extremely irresponsible” and “narrow minded”.

The Aukus pact, which was announced on Wednesday, will see the US and UK provide Australia with the technology to build nuclear-powered submarines.

It is being widely viewed as an effort to counter China’s influence in the contested South China Sea.

The region has been a flashpoint for years and tensions there remain high.

On Thursday, Chinese Foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said the newly-announced alliance risked “severely damaging regional peace… and intensifying the arms race”.

Candidates Standing Up for Rights in China Targeted During Election Campaign

Election candidates who have taken positions against the Chinese regime’s human rights infractions and interference operations are finding themselves targets of efforts to rob them of votes, such as smear campaigns, candidates and activists say.

Conservative candidate Kenny Chiu, who is seeking re-election in the B.C. riding of Steveston–Richmond East, says he has been a target of misinformation against him in previous election campaigns, but this year “it has been exceptional.”

‘Lock him up’: Anger behind Trudeau protesters existed before Trump, experts say

“Lock him up.”

No, this wasn’t chanted at a rally of former U.S. president Donald Trump, but by protesters at a campaign event of Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau.

While the words may be the same, experts say the anger expressed at some Liberal rallies is not necessarily directly influenced by events in the U.S., but reflect a simmering resentment that has existed even before Trump.

O’Toole wants this election to be a referendum on Trudeau. Trudeau needs voters to see a stark choice.

The outcome of another odd and surprising federal election may depend on whether voters see this exercise as a referendum or a choice.

Speaking to reporters in Kanata, Ont., on Monday, Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole called the election a “choice.” But then he spoke of it as a referendum on the incumbent.

This election, he said, is “about whether or not we want to reward Justin Trudeau for breaking his promise and calling an unnecessary $600 million election in the middle of a pandemic “

Stark choice? Mush tastes the same served in any bowl.

O’Toole touts ‘innovative’ carbon pricing plan and pledges to work with provinces

Erin O’Toole appears open to letting provinces decide whether they want to be part of the Conservative carbon pricing plan or stick with the Liberal one.

The Tory leader has faced criticism from within his own tent for promising a Conservative carbon price on fuel after campaigning during his leadership race to scrap the plan introduced by the Liberals.

O’Toole has said that under his system, the money consumers spend on gas would be sent to personal savings accounts they could then use to make green purchases.

How the closing arguments of the 2021 election reflect where we are as a country

As Canada prepares to go to the polls next Monday, many Canadians find themselves poles apart.

It is tempting to dismiss the 2021 federal election as a pointless exercise — called for no reason, with no defining issue, and with little change, so far, to the Liberal-Conservative stalemate that defined our politics in 2019.

But if the campaign has changed little in voters’ preferences, it may reveal a lot about the state of the nation. Likewise, how the party leaders spend the final days — and how we respond — will tell us much about ourselves.

Is Justin Trudeau Elected– Or Planted As Canada’s Prime Minister?

Perhaps it is the microscopic degree in which Cultural Action Party has followed Canadian politics for the past six years. To what extent our opinion on federal politics is shared remains an open question.

Is it our imagination, or does the current election smack of a previously experienced process of “going through the motions?”

Nowhere is this more prevalent than within media presentation. A five-week campaign period. To feign neutrality, Globe & Mail, National Post and the rest present Erin O”Toole’s Conservatives as the front runner. This being a logical extension of the data pollsters like Angus Reid and Nanos project upon the public.

As if scripted in a CBC television production, over the final two weeks Justin Trudeau’s Liberals begin to gain momentum As it occurred in 2015 and 2019, Toronto Star and such begin to roll out uncut gems designed to crush the opposition.

The CBC is the media arm of the Liberal Party of Canada

Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau joined the CBC for a town hall with undecided voters on Tuesday night. This provided the perfect contrast to show how differently the CBC and host Rosemary Barton treat Trudeau, versus how they treated Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole one night earlier.

“Equity Consultant” Resigns NDP candidacy after posting pandemic era anti-Semitic blood libel

NDP whatever

An NDP candidate in a key Toronto riding is under fire after appearing to invent and then spread a conspiracy theory about Israel and COVID-19 vaccines.

Sidney Coles, an equity consultant running for the party in Toronto-St. Paul’s, repeatedly claimed on Twitter that Israel was somehow responsible for missing doses of COVID-19 vaccine in the United States last winter.

The other NDP weirdo who resigned is talked about here.

In related news … Our predatory public service unions will give Trudeau the win. 

We are serfs.
