Trudeau and Ford now together. Yikes.

Are any of these stories true? How legit is this publication? Jesus this is horrible.

That's how they survive, isn't it.

Freeland is staging a coup. I don't want her to be the next leader either. She is too close to the billionaire class.

Do you have evidence that rebate cheques didn't work? Show ME. There isn't any published saying EITHER way.

Yeah just here. Didn't you see Douggie get re-elected with the same gimmick? that's what I meant.

Uh oh, Daddy Elon won't like that.

I agree. It's a gimmick. That didn't stop Doug Ford. He's doing it again. Nobody's complaining. I won't. I won't complain against re-distribution of money to average joe no matter what form it takes.

The cheques are gimmicky yes, but they are communicative and have also been effective. Ontario's conservatives did this to get re-elected, and they're doing it again. It is also a direct re-distribution of wealth to the 99%, the same way our governments have been giving handouts to the corps and wealth. There are a lot of things I fault Trudeau for but not this one.

This is about as stupid as it gets. The move had nothing to do with gender. It's a struggling PM trying to bring fresh faces into his cabinet in a desperate attempt to revive his flailing fortunes. Freeland's tenure as deputy PM and finance minister has been unremarkable, and at best have kept the status quo going that caters to the corporations and the rich. Only thing of note during her time was her stance on Ukraine. Perhaps she should've been foreign minister.

I'm left of centre, but there is nothing that's going to prevent this hell from happening. We are doomed. It's the same predictable cycle we've seen in Canada over and over. Let's hope PP is in power for only one term and not hang on like freakin evil Harper.

Folks, Trump used to warn years ago about US becoming a Banana Republic. Well THIS is what a banana republic looks like. It's no longer USA. It's USB - United States of Banana republics - USB.

 

Premier Doug Ford says Ontario could cut off energy to the U.S. if president-elect Donald Trump makes good on a threat to impose steep tariffs on Canadian goods.
