Conservatives predicting the imminent downfall of the Trudeau Liberals is one of the most hilarious ongoing memes of the past 7 years. It's right up there with the "We definitely got Trump this time" crowd.

Yes - well that is what will be said. The same as every time the economy points downward and companies cut jobs.

As a lifelong Conservative voter, I agree. With Poilievre likely winning the leadership, this will continue. I won't be voting Conservative with him at the helm. Likely won't if Charest wins either because of the convoy supporters presently in caucus and the push further right by many members.

If we can get enough people voting for the Rhino party candidates, could we give them power in parliment. Because I'm not voting Conservative, certainly not Liberal, absolutely not NDP or Green.

Leaves me without a bench to sit on.

Rhino Rhino Rhino.

I've been voting for the fringe parties/candidates for the last few elections. I don't always have a Rhino so sometimes I have to vote for a Marxist/Leninist or some other crazy person.

No Rhino in my riding so I actually have been voting for the Marxist/Leninist candidate.
Me and about 450 others. I don't think he's broken 500 votes yet in any election.

I'd consider being a Rhino candidate, but I don't want to bother people to get the needed signatures.

In my opinion, the best way to get the CPC to smarten up is for votes in the Prairies to begin trending Liberal. While it wouldn't likely change the outcome for many/any of the ridings, they'd be very troubled by the voter breakdown changing from 57%-CPC, 14%-LPC, & 20%-NDP in 2021 to something like 50%-CPC, 20%-LPC, & 20%-NDP in the next federal election.

What has Trudeau done this time? As an expat I usually get asked if I like hockey or maple syrup but lately there has been a lot of questions about Trudeau, usually followed with comments on how his evil woke communism is destroying the world.

I guess he's a top boogeyman of international conservative media.

Nope just an international embarrassment.

Is he really? I have a feeling most people around the world don't care for him much or think about him either way. To be honest I don't think about him much at all in my every day life. Some people are really obsessed with him though.

He is one of the top go to “fear the left” names of the USA and UK conservative parties. It’s equally sad and hilarious.

He got a haircut! Apparently conservative media are too blind or too stupid to be able to tell the difference between a Caesar cut and a bowl cut though.

For me, the one guy who makes sense seems to be Aitchison, but he hasn’t got a hope. It’s really too bad.

Yep, this is it to a tee. Joe Rogan literally holds him up as a communist to millions of followers.

sorry if thbis was posted already - but came across this article:

https://montrealgazette.com/news/can...-flight-habits

seems that ottawa is contemplating hiding the info on some government jets. I suppose i can see this making some sense from a security POV; however, given the good old sunny days/ways mentality when trudeau came into power and he promised more transparency - this does not support that narrative. And given that it seems reproters used this public information to track him down on reconciliation day.....

He wants to hide it because Bryan Passifume has been tweeting non-stop for the last few years where his plane is going.

Better nobody knows and then he never looks bad!

So braindead too. I'm far from a Trudeau fan, there's plenty of actual material to criticize the guy for, but people just focus on the dumbest things instead.

On that note he flew from Kelowna to Penticton the other day then drove the motorcade back towards Kelowna to get to the photo op at the fruit stand. Captain climate at his best.

I can't vote for the Marxist/Keninist parties. They are betraying the whole concept. They're pandering for votes instead of advocating for a violent revolution and a violent overthrow of the upper class.
