2025 Federal Election - 28 Apr 25

[Halifax Tar]

Perhaps true but still the “new” Liberals have not repudiated the previous Liberals gun control policies though.

Thats half my internal battle.

I like the way the LPC are pointing. BUT I am having a hard time forgiving and forgetting the last 10 years and I wont be able to look at myself in the mirror if I turned my back on my fellow firearms owners.

They literally put in a new OIC just weeks ago. That isn’t change, thats doubling down on what they have done.

They will NEVER get my vote until they realign their stance on this. At this point I don’t know a single firearms owner who hasn’t been affected by this. It has been done in a dishonest, unethical, and unprofessional manner. Change the law if thats what your going to do, you don’t make major material changes to the law through OICs, thats cowardly and not how it was intended to be done. Put it through parliament and the senate as major changes are supposed to be.

Agreed on all accounts.

In terms of forgiveness, the LPC has used guns as a wedge for over 30 years. Whatever Carney says is irrelevant as the LPC as an entity regardless of leadership has thrown firearms ownership under the bus of political convenience in the pursuit of Toronto and Montreal votes.

Trudeau stated early in his political career that he would not take away firearms and look how that turned out.

There’s no reason to believe the LPC has changed.

Also the source has a TS security clearance so we know for sure that the source wasn’t PP.

Citing a single unnamed source with top-secret clearance....

Ever thought that the TS source could be a Liberal?

I'm really liking this new focus on Europe, overall.

Carney rejects boosting trade ties with China, points to Europe

The Liberal Leader says he wants to diversify with ‘like-minded partners,’ mentioning trip he took to Paris and London in first days as PM

Since the NSICOP report has reported publicly on IND & CHN interference in Team Blue leadership runs, maybe a cigar is just a cigar in this case?

It would sure be nice if the Tories weren’t trying to put their heads in the sand like the Liberals have done.

Stupid crap moves like this Is why the CPC is going to have its rear end handed to them in the BC interior. I would not be surprised to see the Liberals take seats have never been anything but CPC or CA for 30 years or more. Mostly because people will not vote if their local riding association choice is brushed aside.

This wasn't in reference to clearance, it was for the briefings CSIS offered that would require an NDA because he didn't have clearance. If he got the clearance it wouldn't be an issue.

Like it or not, same power any other party. Not a great look, but not the first parachute candidate of any jersey colour Then again, maybe the Team Blue Borg knew something about the offered-up candidate the local office didn’t?

Maybe they no something, but the bottom line is that people will stay home and not vote. So the Libs will slide in and win.

 

[RangerRay]

Yeah, this shit happens all the time. It usually doesn’t have much of an impact except maybe in close ridings. Most people are voting for fence posts and trained seals.

Worse than 2008 in many ways - and the tariffs will make it even worse. Glance around folks, this is what the bottom of the barrel looks like ...

Is Canada’s economy in a recession?​

Canada’s economy is getting smoked. The Small Business Confidence Index has collapsed nearly 60% in just a few months. That’s not a typo. Even at the lowest point of the 2008 financial crisis, confidence was 10 points higher than it is now. Things are falling apart. And no one’s even bothering to sugarcoat it.

Confidence is crashing faster than it did during the March 2020 lockdowns. By early 2025, small business sentiment had already started slipping. But once the trade war with the U.S. kicked off, it dropped to 25—the lowest reading ever recorded. Nothing else comes close.


So let’s run the full list: record low consumer confidence, a massive trade war, a housing shortage no one’s fixing, GDP per worker going down, inflation bouncing back hard, and a government trying to figure out how the hell it’s suddenly winning an election.

“People are scared to spend, worried about their jobs, and businesses are reacting with layoffs and price hikes,” one Bank of Canada researcher said. “We’re watching real economic activity fall apart.”

The confidence numbers don’t lie. The inflation numbers don’t lie. The trade numbers don’t lie. This isn’t a soft landing. It’s a crash.

Canada is deep in it. Whether they call it a recession or not.

Looking more and more that the leaker wasn’t a disgruntled Canadian security agent, but more like just a liberal, with TS clearance. A liberal with inside knowledge of the full report. Someone in a position like Blair. Hell, it could've been trudeau himself. We may never know. However, if they do figure out who leaked TS info to the public, they better put them in jail for a long, long time

Deliberate violation of the Government Secrets Act? Tsk tsk...

Remember when we all first signed the acknowledgement of what it was & the consequences of us not keeping out mouths shut about Secret + information??

You would THINK you'd go to prison for a long time...


But remember that guy that worked in that place & did that thing with a family member's interactive entertainment system for those other people up the road? (I'm being vague here deliberately folks

He didn't just leak secret information to entities outside of his TS social circle, he walked right up to the Russian embassy & just knocked on their door...Literally...

(Damnit, that just gave it away!)


His prison sentence was shockingly light , given how blatant his breach was...




Edit - it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if it was Trudeau himself to be honest. Wouldn't shock me in the least.

How many CAF senior leaders did he manage to successfully slander & fire for false allegations of sexual misconduct, while making up fake victims & fake circumstances?

Leaking info should always be done via proxy. Preferably an imaginary proxy.
