I am all for, and encouraging of a difference of opinions, and to be Fair, Puzz, PepsiFree and Johnny Makarov among others are not great examples for proper decorum.

With that said, WTF does this goading and name call add to the discussion other than blatantly troll? Move this garbage to Facebook.

Randy B. can be easily bought so if Carney really wants to run in Edmonton Centre it will be his riding for a few bucks.

Freeland has confirmed she will axe the carbon tax if chosen as the next leader.

Randy's riding association has been trying to ditch him for a while. He survived an insurgency from Don Ivison with blackmail (fun times.)

The guy is a weasel and is politically dead. Carney will trounce him.

Where was the name call on my part? He literally wished i was murdered by suggesting i should be CEO, inference to the United Health CEO. Even if there was a name call on my part, I still know which one is worse.

We already don't have enough in the public one, and that is really the only spot to draw from.

So now, we have an even more over burdened public sector in order to prop up the private one that you so desperately want. Does the private sector at least run more efficiently, or cost less? Not in the example of the US as a whole, and not when we've had private clinics studied in Canada either.

I guess you just want an even worse system? Or is "privatize everything" just a talking point that is repeated and actually doesn't make sense much of the time?

You're right, you both need a timeout. It's annoying sifting through your never ending bickering.

I'm honestly ashamed she's our premier, if I'm being frank.
Her only reason is setting the foundation for her post premier job of grifting the right. That’s all this is.

Isn’t blindly supporting all your parties policies a useless way to provide Canadians with leadership?

I did nothing of the sort. You want US style healthcare, so you must think the system is great. This indicates you may want to be CEO, to achieve ultimate greatness. Part of the US system is the suffering foisted on those who have no redress, and occasionally take matters into their own hands. This is an integral part of the system to maintain balance. Being a CEO doesn't automatically mean you will get killed, the ratio is really low. But this is what you desire, it's a package deal.

Remove the "carbon tax" and replace it with a new renamed "carbonn tax" instead?


"Freeland will replace the consumer carbon price with a system that will work within our federation and will be developed collaboratively with provinces and territories," said the source.

Whether you like it or not, Canada healthcare competes with American healthcare. Part of the shortage is, healthcare professions moving to the US for better pay.

So everything should be on table when it comes to making the lives of people better.

These problems are solvable, just not by goverment.

Who does that leave you with? Freeland and Singh? Carney and Poilievre are out.

LOL very crafty pal, very crafty.

It isn't the first time in the last few weeks that you have hinted that people should be killed, you have an obsession with eliminating your political opponents.

I need to remind you who else in history also had that obession.

Wrong side of history Pickles !

I appreciate how you live in an insane duality where government can't do anything right, only the private sector. Yet you support for our next prime minister someone who's only ever been in government his entire career against a person who has a long successful career in the private sector.

It's not just political opponents he wants dead. He'd like to see anyone that opposes his opinions gone. He's wished many people dead in recent times including anti-vaxxers, convoy-ers and many others.
