Or maybe sometimes democracy just doesn’t work the way people want and that’s ok.

Parliament is allowed to vote non-confidence so it’s not really undemocratic in canada’s case. I thought the same thing was happening in Britain

I'd just prefer that the lying, cheating and stealing was done for the average Joe as opposed to personal wealth and Corporate interests.

Companies make enough money and Politicians are going to steal anyways, if the average Canadian gets Dental care and Prescriptions out of the deal, I'd prefer that to the alternative.

I'm a fiscal Conservative, which I have already acknowledged that the principle of fiscal conservatism is dead in my lifetime and I have no interest in social conservatism nor telling people what their rights should be or what they can or can't do with their bodies, thats going to come with some problems of its own, but hopefully I'll be dead by then. I'm working on it.

If Canadian taxpayer money is going to be pissed away I'd rather see it pissed away on stupid plans that actually benefit the average Canadian taxpayer and I really only see 1 guy willing to do that.

Pierre scares me, I do not like the concept of open Religious Zealotry in Government and Trudeau? If he were crossing the street that would provide a moral quandary.

Okay. If you are setting the bar there for criteria maybe he is the best. I’ll give you that.

I have a low opinion of Politicians.

The country should be run by Accountants and Actuaries.

The bar I have set for Politicians cannot even be limbo-ed by Hermes Conrad.

I’m with you. I’ve often thought we’d be better off with no government. You might get eaten every once in a while though.

I'm semi-serious.

"I want to marry this person, do that...etc."

Yeah. Great. I dont care. Health Care and Education is funded. Thats my concern, what happens in your house is yours.

Have you thought about running for PM? I bet you’d be surprised at how well you would do.

I have 3 employees and by all accounts they like me in charge and we all get along pretty well.

An entire Country? I could conceivably get a little megalomaniacal.

"Why did you invade Panama?"

Why not? I like Canals as much as the next guy!!!

That slogan could be on your hats. It’s catchy.

From a remaining gainfully employed perspective it’s probably not in their best interests to tell you otherwise even if it were the case.

"Make Panama Canadian Again!"

But it was never Canadian....

A little revisionist history never hurt anyone!

Somalia is calling! Trust me, you'll love it there. No taxes, no government. Your money is all yours. It's a fiscal conservative utopia!

Could use one or two more vowels. But I think it definitely has the grassroots making of a revolution. You can feel it in the air.

Sounds good in principle. But it’s all in the execution.

Personal responsibility, bro. If the execution sucks it will motivate you to achieve to do better. You don't want any government handouts to make you a lazy freeloader.

Thats what my executioner always says! But I think he's just trying to protect his job.

“I can’t believe I have to say this: but when I’m PM, there will be no male prisoners in female jails. Period.”
He was responding to a recent horror story out of Quebec. One Mohamad Al Ballouz brutally killed his wife and two sons in 2022, and last week was sentenced to life in prison with no shot at parole for 25 years. Because he now identifies as “Levana,” Al Ballouz has asked to serve that sentence in a women’s prison, the Joliette Institution for Women.

The prime minister accelerated, exposing female prisoners to violent male offenders all because of one self-interested activist at a town hall.
The rest of the country, for the most part, isn’t on board with any of this. Just under 80 per cent of Canadians believe that it’s “somewhat important” or “very important” to segregate prisons by sex, according to 2023 polling by the Macdonald-Laurier Institute. A little more than 70 per cent believed that trans prisoners should be kept away from female inmates.

Finally, let’s look out for the safety of women.

It’s like kibble for CP’s biggest anti-trans bigot. He’s obsessed with it.
