Actually, considering how easily manipulated Trump could be by an attractive woman, I wonder if this wouldn’t be a perfect strategy to o dealing with him.

Since he has no policies or any other sort of work, other than bitching and protesting freedumb of speech, he is on it around the clock!

Polls so far seem to say otherwise.

Did you watch Veep? He would be David Foley groping all over Julia Louis Dreyfuss.

LOL. what kind of losers still look at polls? Is it 1995?

From what I’ve read, that can only be done by raising taxes?

These have the undecided left out. I am curious if there was a shift in the number of undecided voters after the two events? People being more - or less - decided after Trudeau resigning would make a difference.

Why not a combination of that and more responsible spending?

Too much to expect. All governments are wasteful, so eat tax increases instead. Those will go 100% to needed infrastructure and social services.

Yes.

BTW Pierre Poilievre is running on a platform of making Canadians fatter.

Quote:
Pierre is running to be the Prime Minister of Canada. He believes in a country where the state is servant, not master. Where smaller government makes room for bigger citizens.
He's got my vote. Less government, more gravy! Less government, more gravy!

I certainly do everything I can to get my house in order before asking for more money, but that’s a pretty stupid ask of government.

Huh? It's a pretty stupid ask of our government to spend tax dollars responsibly?

Running a pretty complex state over there at your house, PM Brendone?
