Election thoughts

1. Canada and the US each have only one political team: Team Line Your Pockets.

2. A “free” Canada requires that all are equal politically. This is not the case, nor ever will be, because of the flawed “amending” formula of our constitution. Political equality requires that Ontario and or Quebec voluntarily gives up some power and we move towards a republic type of governance.
   Power has never been known to voluntarily give itself up, it has to be wrestled away.
   This is why Ted Byfield remarked “until they think we might get out they will not do anything to keep us in!”

   “ If not, it may be time to start leveraging the threat of separation to change the structure of the constitution to create fairness across the board. Quebec certainly used the same tactic with great success, maybe it’s time western Canada employ the same tactics.” This is not accurate.
   Quebec has never used this “threat “ in order to change the constitution. The existing document works in their favour. They are not leaving and have never intended to. It’s a scam…and it’s really paid off.

   The west needs to be serious about it and doing so would pay great dividends.

3. this is the 1st election where i had to vote with a pencil, and I asked for a pen but was told no by someone who could not speak english. I used to say that if the liberals got in again there would be no Canada in 3-5 years but now i think it has already gone.

4. There are few checks and balances on a Canadian PM with a majority government. They can do whatever suits them.

   Carney released his Christmas tree of goodies to bribe the voters in fishworld, quebekkie and the ontario traitors. He can spend like like any trudeau.

   Canada is a unrepairable broken amalgamation of regions. The east constantly has it’s thumb on the scale manipulating wealth creating regions of the country.

   In 1967 Canada stood 3rd in the world in Standard of Living. Today we’re 17th.
   This can’t continue

   1. “There are few checks and balances on a Canadian PM with a majority government. They can do whatever suits them.”

      An American President would kill to have the same amount of power as a Canadian Prime Minister (with a majority).

5. Comparing Trudeau’s spending with Mark Carnage’s spending plan.

   1. Carnage’s spending plan is Trudeau on steroids

6. After nine-and-a-half years of being a Post-National State turning its sovereignty over to the WEF, the UN, the WHO and to China it is pretty rich claiming Canada is a sovereign nation just because the US is involved.

7. Could the CPC be any more weak-kneed?

   No, focusing on these phantom tariffs is the *last* thing you should be doing. Educating the Canadian public that the tariffs are a RED HERRING is what you should be doing. The Liberals, NDP, Greens and BQ are all using this to buy votes from a scared (and gullible) public. The Canadian news media are assisting them, naturally. A smart leader would find the courage to call them all out on their exaggerations, distortions of the truth and outright lies, and tell the public what is *really* happening with these tariffs, and why.

   Instead, the CPC happily goes along with the fake news narrative, so that they too can claim to be willing to ‘fight’ Donald Trump and hopefully fool enough of the dim-witted Canadian voters into electing them to office. How pathetic.
