How so? The Liberals + NDP together have more than 170 seats.

Youtube influencer, fake insurance broker, the choices aren't great all around.

All three parties will have a leadership review.


I expect that Singh's in for a battle, at the end of the day he didn't have the results he needed.


The Cons will definitely have a leadership review and I expect that Scheer won't survive it.


The Liberal's will have a leadership review and his acolytes will ensure that he remains in power and the Blue Liberals are suppressed.

It would be very depressing if the party goes with Scheer for another election.

The fact that Scheer is being compared to Trump at all is why this country is so divided in the first place.

I believe in traditional marriage. But I have a lot of LGBT friends and I would never discriminate against LGBT people. Does that make me a bad person?

Marriage is marriage. Traditional marriage has a large component of divorce, so save me your sanctimony.

It's almost 2020 and people are genuinely asking why people might not have been hyped to vote for a political party whose leader believes that same sex marriage is the equivalent of calling a dogtail a dogleg?

The only traditional marriage is one that helps forge alliances with rival factions by intertwining lines of succession and increasing land holdings.

The Conservatives should recruit Scott Gilmore.

Does continuing to cheer for the Flames mean I give them a total pass for their shortcomings every year? Or am I allowed to criticize them and expect them to be better while still supporting them?

Yes it does, otherwise how are others going to feel superior to you?

Who do we look like idiots to? Every major country in the world seems to have a nadir-level government.

Well maybe not Australia, since they got rid of that racist raw-onion eating serial killer.

This isn't sports. These people make laws.

Excusing corrupt behaviour and voting to allow them to make them is absolutely giving them a pass.

Why should the government have the right to tell you who you can and cannot marry?

We need less government involvement, not more.
