So you truly understood from what I wrote that perhaps I was solely blaming the liberals then. Interesting.


Given the list of issues I posted, and the duration the Liberals have been in power, you really don't think much of your fellow poster here for you to think anyone could think that, do you?

And here I was thinking Mull was pulling off Stickman’s and Yoho’s schtick with far more tact.

I'm somewhat surprised this hasn't hit the forum yet.

Lots of circumstantial (and direct) evidence points to the Liberals being corrupted by the CCP, although I'm sure there's a also some politicians from other parties that are implicated as well. Regardless, sad to see how little traction this issue is getting.

This article didn't say that at all...

This doesn't say anything about Liberals or Conservatives or any details on who's been corrupted by the CCP. I mean I'm sure the CCP and other governments try to get in with politicians so I'm sure its true - just like I'm sure our spies try to get in with other countries politicians.

Unless there is something in particular that the Canadian government has done that points to it being 'corrupted' - I'm not sure its a surprising story.

...

BC Liberals are considered conservative / centre right and have zero affiliation to the federal Liberals.

Stop a second to understand what you are posting before spamming these tweets.

The BC Liberals are a centre-right party, so it makes sense for her to support the centre-right candidate instead of the far right nutbag.

The last bit seems to imply it's the conservatives

But ya.... that's quite the reach to say there's direct evidence that the liberals are corrupted from this article. But did you think the CCP had no influence in Canada? That's their modus operandi throughout the world, and people will do anything for money, regardless of their political standing.

Yes, Yoho, far better to support the candidate no one outside the party base would vote for. That's next level strategy you have there.

Do you know how democracy works? You need to get elected to implement your platform. Appealing to a broad base is not something to mock.

Yoho is the type of person who will say the Nazi Party was actually left-wing because their full party name included the word "socialist" without actually looking into their actual ideologies and policies.

Many of the legit issues with Trudeau were there in the last election as well, and O'Toole was a decent candidate, so I have zero hope that Canadians would overlook anything Trudeau does in terms of corruption, scandal's, etc....and I think if PP wins, it'll be because the Liberals have grown stagnant from being in power so long, and if you look at history, that is generally when there is a change of power.

Still amazing to me how Canadians gave Trudeau a pass on the corruption when there was a clear alternative.

But also amazing that the CPC didn't realize that McKay would have been the better leader.

Living on your knees is also suboptimal, but I can see how you’re used to it.
