and maybe you should point out that the Toronto "Star" newspaper is considered by other people in the news business to be extremely biased in favor of the Liberals
it might as well be their newsletter
Coren is a joke, has been for at least a decade
the Star hates conservatives
it makes the CBC look like a conservative outfit
maybe you should get some of Jerry Dias quotes to back up Coren :noidea:
or maybe the braindead one attributed to May in the paper recently
that Sheer has no business being leader, cause he was the Speaker
like that's some kind of rule/law
Scheer's week so far:
-he's not really an insurance broker; was an office gofer.
-he didn't earn a BA.
-came in 4th out of 4 at the debate.
-after months and months, he was finally forced to admit he's anti-choice.
-and finally today we learn he's secretly Yankee Doodle Andy.

:welcome::canada::crazy:Honest question: Can someone put forward an example of a genuinely good person in politics right now? Not someone who's against the person you hate, but someone who genuinely seems rational and compassionate on their own merits. Doesn't have to be a candidate for Prime Minister. Just anyone.
There's a persuasive despair and desperation in 2019 politics. Do you feel it? What gives you hope aside from defeating the ones you despise the most?

He says he was never asked about it.
It sure makes him look like a hypocrite for shitting on so many Liberals for having dual citizenship.
In my riding: Stephen Fletcher, former MP and the current MP Doug Eyolfson.
Fletcher would get my vote but he has allied himself with Bernier so that eliminates him. Fletcher was an excellent MP who worked as hard as any MP. It was his entire existence 24/7. Decent and pragmatic but associated with bad parties. He should have crossed the floor to the Libs when Harper kicked him out. If he had he would be a surefire winner.
Eyolfson is a decent guy too, and has a similar value set but more Lib, so I will vote for him.
The Con guy here is a POS, typical greasy Winnipeg scumbag.
I've yet to vote for anyone because I thought they were a wonderful person.
Instead its a vote for the one I think is the least corrupt.
What you're asking for I don't believe exists.
I also haven't ridden a unicorn up Mount Everest...but its as likely to happen as finding a completely truthful, moral, ethical politician.
Canadians look as truthful, moral and ethical as any Canadian politician after the way that Canadians complacently watched for decades as the Canadian manufacturing sector got shippped offshore. What else could I think of a people that essentially exploit the Canadian environment, selling real estate to the oligarghs that got rich off the backs of virtual slave labour overseas providing products for Canadians?
she has more ethics than virtually all the Liberals
but she was a terrible Justice Minister, if you look at what she actually implemented
wouldn't want her in as a PM
Brad Wall is one of the few adults that was in Power in the last 10yrs
that seems to have some integrity, he seems reasonable, when you listen to him speak
I didn’t say PM. She stuck by her ethics over the party instead of accepting what was being thrust at her by the PMO.
We would be in a far better place politically if all MP’s have the same beliefs in their pledge to Canada and not what’s politically expedient to satisfy the wishes of the PM.
Folks talk about ethics as if ethics is about observing the letter of the law. Everybody ought to realize by now that the law is often unfair and un-nice. SNC Lavalin deserves a break and so do all the employees of SNC Lavalin that would be affected. Especially all of whom by now had nothing to do with what happened over Lybia.
I disagree about Trudeau dressing up. We need a Prime Minister... not a Prime Minstrel
The law must exist only to protect the rights and freedoms of the inhabitants of that society.

SNC Lavalin deserves a break for the reason that I already mentioned. Don't ask me to repeat myself like that. Do your own research if you're that interested how many employees SNC lavalin has. Far fewer than during the Lybia event that's for sure, after the way that rule-of-law harrassed the company name rather than the culperts involved who were already dealt with in the relavant jurisdiction overseas. Canada deserves a break too, even if SNC Lavlin is in Quebec and especially since Alberta has been getting a short end of the economy trying to get a pipeline built. These outcomes affect the whole of Canada. Bloviating over points for Canadian law while the Canadian economy goes into the proverbial toilet isn't ethical either.
