The "LOLCANADA" thread...again
So what's new?
I've noticed the Liberals are now ahead in all major polls and Trudeau hasn't even started to campaign yet...i'd be shocked if they lost the election now.
Just shows just how incompetent Conservatives are.
Weird. So seven years ago Trudeau said something silly. Seems to be a joke attempt that may have played well in the room but comes off as bizarre clipped out of context. Ok. What does this have to do with me? You’re talking about it, not me. And making weird guesses about my supposed stances on immigration.
This is all so weirdly aggressive for a hypothetical forum noob, but I guess that’s the TDS speaking that shifty identified.
Trudeau supporter = useless human being. You support Trudeau. You are useless.
Can we move on?
Ya my take is canada has mostly been better then the us over the last many decades . but for the first time I think its clear we are a inferior country to live in. The free healthcare does not make up for 40-60% less buying power and income. life expectancy is not a very important metric. main reason for are decline being demographic problems of baby boomers and just baby boomers in general

The US is a more unequal country than Canada with a much higher gini index. So for instance, if you look at median wealth per person, Canada’s 137k USD is more than the US’s 107k. So you have to be quite careful what macroeconomic indicator you are choosing. Still, the US is the economic superpower of the world, and their billionaire class dwarfs any other country, but as someone who spent years living in the US I prefer Canada by a pretty wide margin and don’t really think these indicators mean Canada is an inferior country to live in.

Meh , in 2015 the cad dollar was at 71 U.S. , today at 69 while the entire world are plunging as well vs the U.S. dollar .
Market move up and down , in 2021 cad dollar was about the only currency holding with the U.S. dollar at over 80 …
It’s just temporary , U.S. dollar will hit big problem soon enough .
For me there isn’t a single time if I was at the median wage , I would rather be in the U.S. instead of Canada past 1980 shrug .
The reality is no matter what Canada does we will have zero impact
I complain about coal as its the biggest polluter and Justin pledged he would end all coal exports by 2030 . That is like me being overweight and saying ill lose the weight required by 2040 and add 5 lbs a year every year. Its just a false promise
As for balancing budgets he promised to only have 10 billion $ deficits the first two years and hit over 30 billion each before covid and low interest rates . Lets be honest he has neve
The principle of « I can’t make the world a better place as a whole by my own action so I won’t make effort to be better as a human being » isn’t much of a value I care or promote about .
But innovation doesn’t come from thin air , it actually comes up when you actually do stuff !
Again , coal isn’t the problem .
It’s you using talking points about anything (like coal) you can find , hold both sides and blame someone because regardless what he does , he will necessarily ends up on one side .
Which you do about any subject u can find .
Doesn’t matter about the budget .
If with 0 interest rates (or very little) , u borrow money and the return are higher , then yes budget balances themselves eventually , Trudeau isn’t lying and it was a trend that was going for like 40 years , interest rates going lower .
So Trudeau didn’t lie when he said so .
Now was it prudent to believe interest rates would stay that low in the future ?
No !
But that isn’t your story , u claim he lied .
Trudeau didn’t lie but it took a world crisis happening once per century to fack up his plan which btw , the entire world was in as well …..
Huh? Are there even Canadian conservative "agitators" on X?
Or maybe Trudeau realized Trump isnt your typical politician that waits 17 days for something to happen.
Of course. Usually I see something on Twitter, and like clockwork you - someone how has regularly shared right wing tweets in this thread - ends up posting the exact same talking points. Total coincidence I’m sure.
Of course Trudeau didn’t wait 17 days to appoint a czar. Sometimes you want to do things right and make sure you’ve properly vetted someone who isn’t going to embarrass you on the world stage in this crucial standoff, taking a week to get the job spec done is entirely reasonable.
Wow, it looks like the Liberals have taken the lead in the polls now. Carney is dominating
The Conservatives may have picked arguably the worst "politician" in Pierre Poilievre since, S tockwell Day? Just zero common sense he actually attacked Canada during a trade war.. so funny.
Big miscalculation by the CPC they must have thought Trudeau hate would be enough. T alone without realizing that once Trudeau resigns he is...you know not around anymore.
LOL Now I see the CPC is actually bringing back someone who may even gives Trudeau a run for his money in unpopularity in Stephen Harper trying to convince everyone Pierre and the CPC will fight for Canada.
Harper knows Carney is much more qualified than Poilievre but he obviously can't say anything

Free Healthcare that many can’t access with 5.5 million people without a family doctor . Here in BC there easy solution is medically assisted suicide.

Isn’t the median income in the poorest state higher than Canadas .
Though I have never lived in the USA I believe you on that one

X is where people get their news. Of course you see similar topics posted there before here.

False. The liberals have had a couple decent polls and are doing better, but make no mistake they are still behind in the averages. I’m absolutely still betting on poilievre majority.

Right. “News”, but also your talking points. We keep seeing on full display you parroting the language and talking points of Trump or maple maga folks here on the forum where you pretend to care about issues you’ve never once mentioned in years of posting until he tells you about them.
Some of us think critically about politics.
Some of us are stenographers.

That said, the numbers are good enough when polling assuming Carney (and not Freeland)that I’d say the leadership debate is all but over.
Freeland engineered this exact scenario to try to give herself a shot to step in front of Carney. It failed.

You think if Trump says Canada has a problem with migrants its not worth saying is he telling the truth or making it up? I saw a report were 80,000 Indians arrived in Canada with student visas yet are not enrolled in any schools. That sounds like a problem
Lets also be honest you have the liberals here in Canada and the Dems in the USA using those same key talking points when ever they speak to the media, tweet , IG or FB
The fact you said Trudeau was joking about people kind is just crap the man was serious

It's quite hilarious a Canadian would pretend Canadians haven't had problems with our immigration policies for years. Our prime minister was literally calling people racist and what not for voicing our concerns in 2017? Maybe 2018? Now that it has gotten to a point where literally no one can deny it they are changing their tune and giving us a bullshit talking to from the cuckseat in some random hotel room.
Daddy Trump didn't have to tell us **** about immigration. We knew years ago it was a problem. Except when you said it then you were a bigot, xenophobe and racist. Now most Canadians but the most useless ones among us(Uke for example) agree.

Low trust society meets high trust society.
Lmao the TDS of you people. Yes this off-the-cuff comment from...checks notes...seven ****ing years ago you guys obsessed about was an obvious joke. Here's the full context:
When viewing the full exchange, the woman’s question (which starts at the 1:06:37 point in this video) lasts an astonishing four minutes — a substantial portion of which consists of her proselytizing for her church, to the growing annoyance of the audience.
She rambles on the theme of female equality in religion, and at one point she thanks Trudeau for ensuring gender parity in his cabinet. Even the sentence that ultimately leads Trudeau to interject is oddly contradictory on gender, though perhaps on purpose: “Maternal love is the love that’s going to change the future of mankind,” she says.
So Trudeau’s comment seems to have been a joke about the irony of it — and also an attempt to relieve tension, given the audience had been booing the questioner for taking so much time. The woman herself took it in that spirit, as she laughs and says “Exactly!”
He later confirmed it was a joke. It played well in the room too - everyone there laughed and clapped along as he seemed to have successfully relieved the tension from the 4 minute long contradictory question.
You can say it was a bad joke or a dumb joke, but neither before or in the seven years since never repeated "peoplekind" it's just a funny quip and why you guys obsess about this **** all these years later I have no idea.
Every time you focus on one of the like 3 or 4 out of context quotes that allegedly makes him look bad in his decade in power you detract from your own ability to actually come off as having serious critiques of the policies of the prime minister.
False. The liberals have had a couple decent polls and are doing better, but make no mistake they are still behind in the averages. I’m absolutely still betting on poilievre majority.
Canada's top polling firm Leger has them both at 37% federally which would put the Liberals in at a majority.
Of course we are still at minimum two months away from an election at the earliest and campaigns matter.
Do you think Canadians will buy Poilievre's makeover of a tough guy yelling Canada first?
It's been a successful psyh-op on people, making them believe Pollievre is on Trump's side and to vote Liberal.
With all the funding of media through USAID a d Dept of Education I wonder how much of that has gone on in Canada the past 6 years.

FWIW it isn’t the system that is dis functional it’s how its administer and some stupid rule from their “corporates unionist “ or the government itself …
One example
https://www.indeed.com/career-advice/fin....
In Canada, medical practice has been restricted to the province or territory in which a physician is licensed. Other than a few exceptions, practising in a different province or territory has involved a lengthy application process, sometimes months long, and thousands of dollars in fees.
Here for example in Quebec , they still under a regime where doctors aren’t obliged to cover every hours in hospitals or extremely low coverage .
Makes no sense when 100% of their clients are from the public and we subsidies massive amount of movey to provide a great education .
Many don’t even work full time anymore .
Corporatism is a big part of it .
Many nurses are deny giving simple medical acts just because the doctors don’t want to let go those payment to alleviate the system ….
It’s far more complicated then -> Canada healthcare is failure .
It isn’t , just move to Quebec lol ….

The footage of Pierre serving the truckers coffee is going to blow him up. Because the venn diagram of pro Trump and trucker is nearly a perfect circle.
They've totally screwed themselves with this one.
It's been a successful psyh-op on people, making them believe Pollievre is on Trump's side and to vote Liberal.
It's an absolute fact that Pierre likes Trump, would have voted Trump if he was American, and generally supports a lot of Trump's view of the world.
This doesn't need to be an "op". Just the truth about Pierre frankly.
It's not a popular time to be into right wing identity politics. Because they blew their faces off. And this is coming from a centrist who was otherwise totally ready for the right to take power.
Like for example, if Ford doesn't cancel Starlink for good, the dude is a total Trump stooge. And Canadians are worried PP is more of the same.
X is where people get their news. Of course you see similar topics posted there before here.
lol….
That explains a lot .
FWIW I would never expect reliable news by just talking with people on the street but I guess “ to each is own “….
Ps: especially with so many bots and AI now on the net .

lol isn’t why u love PP so much …
Like rafiki said , truckers love trump and polievre .
To claim Alberta isn’t maga .
I’d bet many living in Alberta would agree to be the 51st state .
