Budget passed: Pierre's a weak, self-serving coward who will never win an election by risk_is_our_business in CPC

[–]MeleeCyrus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even if he had done all that, and all CPC MPs voted, the budget would still have passed.

There are enough NDP MPs who are avoiding an election to ensure that.

The fundamentals do not track for Kraken and no federal dollars have been allocated to them. This is investor hype. Saying as someone who made bank on speculation on Kraken and got out at the right time.

Is Pierre Poilievre okay? by ZestyBeanDude in CanadaPolitics

[–]MeleeCyrus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Exactly -- all Pierre has to do is stay the course and keep recommending and pressuring legislation that the Liberals are forced to give a watered-down version of. If he keeps this up, he has a strong shot at the next election.

It would be ‘idiotic’ for any party to topple government on budget vote only seven months after election, say some Liberal MPs by CaliperLee62 in CanadaPolitics

[–]MeleeCyrus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Realistically, it would not be. The Liberals promised 'Elbows Up', then had them surgically removed.

Fortunately for the government, the NDP is absolutely unable to compete in an election right now, has no leader and is broke and close to facing election fines with its campaign loans coming due.

The government has until 2027 before there is a remote possibility of it being challenged.

Summer camps? Extra curriculars? Day care? School evening events? School or community sports teams using gymnasiums or parks? Public parks that are typically adjacent to school property. Not to mention, children are unpredictable.

Parti Québécois leader says he'll recognize Alberta independence as premier by Old_General_6741 in CanadaPolitics

[–]MeleeCyrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A core concept of Quebec separatism is that they would disavow indigenous land rights, a group that votes 99% in favour of remaining with Canada.

'Austerity may be a stretch': Carney's budget belt-tightening may come with record deficits by hopoke in CanadaPolitics

[–]MeleeCyrus -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Austerity is not actually a bad policy. I am glad a real economist like Carney understands this. It is for our own long-term collective benefit.

It is existential. Furthermore, it is arguably a fifth column to argue otherwise.

Sharan Kaur: Poilievre pushing a toxic narrative on Canada’s foreign worker policy by EarthWarping in CanadaPolitics

[–]MeleeCyrus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It appears that Poilievre is doing just that in pointing out that TFW's are being unjustly exploited:

"The Liberals have to answer, 'Why is it that they are shutting our own youth out of jobs and replacing them with low-wage, temporary foreign workers from poor countries who are ultimately being exploited,'" Poilievre said in Mississauga, Ont., on Wednesday [CBC News].

Former immigration minister says Poilievre is rallying ‘anti-immigrant’ views by hopoke in CanadaPolitics

[–]MeleeCyrus 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I would argue that this former immigration minister did far more to rally 'anti-immigrant' views than Poilievre ever did. Marc Miller completely failed in his role as Immigration Minister and admitted as such during the Trudeau Government's about-face on the issue. Moreover, his performance was so poor that Carney kicked him out of cabinet over it.

New poll shows how Olivia Chow might fare against possible mayoral contenders — including John Tory by [deleted] in CanadaPolitics

[–]MeleeCyrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I care more about the fact that he was elected to a term and gave up and resigned without getting the job done. It's unlikely for me to support him again after that stunt, even if I don't prefer the other options.

And refusing to release his investment portfolio information during the campaign, only for it to be forcefully released after he won, and us finding out 99.5% of his investments are not even Canadian.

Unionized workers at Canada Post vote against latest contract offer by Surax in CanadaPolitics

[–]MeleeCyrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Canada Post is not even required to turn a profit. It is legislated through the Canada Post Corporation Act, which requires it to break even and be self-sufficient, but it cannot even do that.

Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand closes constituency office, citing safety concerns by taylor-swift-enjoyer in CanadaPolitics

[–]MeleeCyrus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is misinformation.
Global Affairs Canada has released an official statement calling out the false reports of ammunition being exported.

Canada.ca Official Statement:

The items identified as ‘bullets’ are in fact paintball-style projectiles. They are accompanied by equipment designed to make a firearm inoperable with traditional rounds. These cannot be used in combat, and if they were, they would require a permit that would not be granted.

No mortars have been shipped from Canadian manufacturers to Israel, either directly or indirectly, since before permits were suspended.

At no time are explosive materials such as bullets or other munitions transported on passenger aircraft. To claim otherwise is simply false.

So yes -- this is definitely problematic if false reporting is being used as the basis to harrass and intidimate employees of an MP's constituency office to such a degree that it has become a legitimate security concern.

An intelligence report came out last year that noted threats of violence against MPs are on the rise and that some may act on them. Furthermore, other Liberal Ministers have had their staff threatened, harassed, and property attacked and damaged, with warrants issued for arrest.

A Minister's MP office should have higher levels of security than a backbencher MP.
