No wonder heās gone after PBS.

Itās like he has a copy of a history book that is missing the parts that expand on the basic historical facts.

Legislated funding amounts that would eliminate the need for advertising on CBC, which are protected from cuts by future governments, would ensure less biased (or the perception of such) reporting and benefit all Canadians.

Giving an electorate the choice between voting FOR something rather than Against something almost always wins the day.

Not one person that I know under 30 is (admitting) voting Conservative.

Hard to get a rough ride when you severely limit who is asking the questions, and know what the questions are ahead of time.

The only part of this headline that is true is the first five words.

If churches want to be involved in politics and endorsing specific candidates, the should have to pay taxes for the privilege.

Itās not like a national referendum would cost several (probably hundreds of) millions of dollars.

I was in the Netherlands last spring in the lead up to D-Day Ceremonies. Several local people stopped me to thanks me for the efforts of Canadians during the war. Very humbling.

Once violence begins, he can declare another national emergency and impose martial law.

Either is fine. The main thing is that your 1 choice is clearly indicated.

Agreed! The days crawl by, but the years fly. I had a hard day when I finally took my kids old play structure down. Glad I was by myself. š„ŗ

Also, Paper voter list slows things down too. In NB, from the time I parked till I got back in the car after voting was less than 10 minutes. Digital system.

Agreedā¦ but for years voter turnout in Canada has been dropping. If the ānormalā advance turnout has been low for several elections, I can see why fewer workers might be scheduled.
comment in response to

With a higher than normal voter turn out, advance polls will automatically be busier. In my small city (22,000-ish) instead of a dozen or more regular election day polls, there is only one advance poll location.
Having to wait means that more people are voting! Yay!

Typically early voting isnāt super busy. The next few days will be better.

We were fairly early this morningā¦ took 15-ish minutes. I would have waited 5 hours. That little X in the circle means a lot!

Mr. Poilievre seems to have forgotten that he works for usā¦ not the other way round.
If he canāt or wonāt allow questioning of candidates (or himself) on the campaign trail, he sure wonāt allow it if he gets power.

Not sure how I feel about thisā¦ on the one hand, I wish the leaders had all refused questions from these guysā¦Poilievre refuses to take questions from actual journalists.
On the other, it certainly shows that Carney isnāt afraid of dealing with the situation like an adult.

Heās an embarrassment now.
comment in response to

He does know that heās being recordedā¦ right? That what is said by candidates is known?

Iād say there has already been enough contempt of court! Thatās the problem.

Hard to be concerned or care about hardworking Canadians when youāve never been one.

How about simply getting your security clearance and answering open questions from actual journalists. That would be a good place to start.
comment in response to

I am by no means a journalist, but this seems pretty sparse. For a campaign that has arguably gone pretty well, where is the sense in doing this? There would seem to be no measurable benefit for the Liberals.

More like no critical thinking skills. Society has become so focused on celebrity that many simply think āWell they are famousā¦ it must be true.ā Or worse yet, they blindly listen to people who say science is wrong.
They never stop to ask themselves āwhat are this personās qualifications?ā

Easily the most impressive and powerful place that I have ever visited. Had 2 ancestors who fought thereā¦ 1 survived, 1 did not. Lest We Forget.

It would be better if they were in jail instead of a factory, but I like it!
