They all need to have their heads examined at the CBC.

Nah, you can defend it all you want but if you were doing a thoughtful show on the issue you wouldn't have created the social media posts you created. They were all totally gotcha', click baity and you know it.

Please vote strategically! I would be more eloquent but it's Friday and I am a bit drunk.

Sorry about that but the USA needs to back off. Would help if more Americans shared our concerns cuz we're really upset.

Yeah, that is such an important point. Bob Rae was the NDP - his moving to the Liberals should have been a red flag for a lot of them.

That is too bad, as his composition, understanding of colour & Romanticism make him a waaaay better painter than Rockwell. Not even close. He is unique in his mastery of two very challenging art forms.

True. But Singh lost a seat in the last election and will lose a lot more, he's just wasting everyone's time and betraying his own base. I am watching the in fighting within the NDP community on FB right now. It's sad.

Having said all that we are also deeply outraged by what he is saying and doing about Ukraine. Our country is committed to peace in Europe - we fought alongside our allies there in both World Wars. We may not be able to bring our NATO spending up to par but we punch above our weight all the time.

25 years hearing about a high speed rail line. I don't even bother posting about it.

Canadians are far more angry about it. Whether that is better or not who knows? We feel deeply betrayed & condescended to. I am biased of course but no country on Earth could have a better neighbour than Canada. So, wtf!? doesn't even begin to describe how we feel.

Perhaps it would help if you were Canadian. The "I don't do politics" people are sharing flags, making defiant posts and essentially doing their own personal USA boycotts. We're fired up, so if he does plan to annex us, he's in for one hell of a fight.

I would agree but NDP supporters are convinced the Liberals are the same as the Cons & frankly the NDP have no idea how to form a gov't or be realistic about their platforms. So, I just don't see it happening. They need to take a break.

Us too. Yet when Wynne was Premier this county benefitted endlessly. Ford has done next to nothing, & our MPP who had a cabinet position was shuffled out early on so, no leverage whatsoever. But, there are more progressives here, I worked an election & know this. We split the vote. 🙄

We don't vote for leaders anyway. People need to strategically vote. The debate means nothing.

He's already taking cues from what Musk is doing by saying he'll slash federal spending on wasteful things like consultants etc.

Yes, we do too but three huge snow storms in 8 days is killing us. We can't even ski because we spend hours shoveling. No snow after tomorrow for two weeks so.... then I will go back to loving it.

Not sure if I understand, the Liberals want to call an election early? Also, do you mean the NDP are tanking? And the Liberals are getting support from who? They are up in the polls but not ahead.

Totally agree! Artists like us need to stand firm on this exact issue. Artist know what they are doing. If they don't it's obvious.
