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
Simmering issue in BC conservatives for a while. For a long time BC united was the de facto right wing party and BC conservatives a far right fringe. Then there was a pretty incrediablt flipping and BC conservatives became the “mainstream” right wing party and absorbed a lot of BC united as they rose to nearly winning. But that far right fringe was still there, just now in the mainstream right party, and it’s caused friction. What do you do with the most egregious racist and anti vaxxer types? It was already problematic during the election and they may well have beat the NDP but for this. One of the more problematic candidates who Rustad had denounced ended up winning and sticking around.
So the news story today is one said a particularly vile and horrible things, and so what do you do? Well she was voted out of caucus, and two more resigned in protest.
Growing pains.
Lmao called it. Remember when shifty was all SECURE THE BORDER only after Trump said it? And I pointed out how impossible this was for our 8k+ border, and that things like the black hawk helicopters was just for show to try and appease Trump.
Well for all those millions spent and hours in the air flying up and down - the black hawks caught one person. One. Secure the border my ass.
lol, Knucks...
Canadian farm and food products
BEIJING (AP) — China on Saturday announced retaliatory tariffs on some Canadian farm and food imports, after Canada imposed duties in October on Chinese-made electric vehicles and steel and aluminum products.
The new duties become effective March 20, according to a statement by the Customs Tariff Commission of the State Council. Additional 100% tariffs will be imposed on Canadian rapeseed oil, oil cakes and peas, and additional 25% tariffs will apply to pork and aquatic products.

In some ways Canada is a bit of a hypocrite . Their are industries it will fight tooth and nail for . They are very protective of all dairy products when I think yeah let the milk and cheese in Im still buying CDN milk . Actually i buy from a local farm .
The electric car one I just do not understand . They by far build the best electric car and at a price that the average person could afford . Sadly if the USA proceeds with Tariffs it may need China more and more as a trading partner
Electric cars are a great example of why tariffs aren't universally good or bad, but something that sometimes make sense and sometimes don't make sense. Cars are a major NA industry, and having the market flooded with cheap chinese EVs IS something that threatens the development of a NA industry. So having Canada and the US band together to impose a NA tariff on China to give time for the NA market to become entrenched made a lot of sense. It's working WITH the americans to be at the same policy level as the americans to do a targeted protection of the industry. You don't have to completely agree with that to see that it makes VASTLY more sense than an across the board attack against your economic/political/military closest ally.

Yup those tariffs against China done to be in conjunction with the US market. Also when you look at the "tariffs" or other forms of protectionism that Canada does vs US they are basically all for 1 of 2 reasons:
1) Canada is integrated with the American market but dwarfed by it. US players have the ability to manipulate and cripple some of our sectors so there are boundaries in place. This is one way defense and are reasonably negotiated.
2) We have different health and regulation standards on certain agriculture products. Imported goods have to comply with these standards. Same way we don't want China exploiting bad labor and environmental practices to flood markets.
It's also like take something like supply management. I've definitely heard cases for it to be reformed, like some people are for keeping it the same, some for abolishing completely, but also some strong cases for reform. But here's the thing, this is a detail that is negotiated at something like USMCA that trump signed. Maybe Canadians should care less about dairy and more about something else and get some different trade-offs in USMCA, that's a Canadian political question. Like maybe the way they treat our lumber should take more or less priority. But all of this is reasonable in the context of a negotiated free traded agreement between the countries, and not to be used as a political cludgel to justify economy-wide tarrifs.
Also I'm glad canadian dairy doesn't have the growth hormones issues of US dairy.

Yeah I wouldn’t buy US milk if it was 1/2 the price
What part of Mexico are you vacationing in
peurto Vallarta, should be fun. As long as my brothers actually take the kids so my wife and I can relax part of the time😃
Growth Hormones have been linked to prostrate and breast cancers as well as screwing around in early childhood development
And the actual reason it was banned in Canada was because of welfare of the animals.
LANDSLIDED VICTORY.
85%, that is massive. Bigger than Poilievre by a lot. Bigger even than Trudeau in 2013.
Freeland stabbed her party in the eye at the worst possible time to try and find a way to step in front of Carney, but it ultimately failed miserably.
Source? Not at all the reputation I was aware of
It's a small thing. But while most political leaders have the basic grace to congratulate each other. Like how Trudeau congratulated Poilievre when he won the CPC leadership. Sadly, Poilievre has taken the low road and instead of a single tweet of congratulations, it is all "Liberals are trying to trick Canadians" nonsense.
Attack dog can't do anything but attack.

It’s the only political policies and discourse he knows of shrug .

Have to stay in the offence. Let's wait and see if Conservatives win and the reaction we see. Bernier did congrats though.
why did Carney come straight out poking the bear?
that isn't the tact you want to take w DJT, no?
No as I buy my milk from a local farm Kootenay Meadows . I also buy responsible raised chicken and beef and eggs

No Freeland spoke up about Justin’s irresponsible spending behind closed doors and we all know what happens to strong women in Trudeaus cabinet they get canned
She got no votes as she was associated with Justin

You don’t have to be naive. That’s a choice. She didn’t stab Trudeau in the face effectively getting him to resign because she was oh so serious about “irresponsible spending”. She did it because she wants to be the next PM. As evidenced by her running to be leader immediately afterwards. I think she was worried Carney was supplanting her as heir apparent and felt she needed to act then. You can say that was the right move, but it is silly to pretend she was doing it as some selfless appeal to responsible spending - that was her talking point not her reason.
