Here's a typical Canadian Conservative boomer that is living in his travel trailer because the CPP and OAS he receives after 55 years of working won't pay for his mortgage and all the taxes and utilities anymore.
All governments have plundered the social safety net that CPP was designed for but none so much as the liberals.
I'll be voting in an advance poll ASAP and it won't be for Marxist Carney Canada's WEF governor.
Fifty five years of work and still has a mortgage, and had the advantage of cheap housing? And the government is the problem here? I'm not sure CPP was designed to be paying down mortgages, but I'm no fancy Xitter poster. Dude sounds like he left his bootstraps dragging for decades.

The only "typical dumb take" is shockingly from Azure once more. Who the hell takes what Thomas Mulcair says as though it's the "right" answer? He was a flat-out liability as a leader when at the helm of the Federal NDP post-Layton and is the reason why they're now a rudderless party within spitting distance of losing official party status under Singh.

Might as well take investment advice from Bernie Madoff.

How is every one of your political takes consistently and legitimately this bad. If I had more confidence in you as a person I would honestly believe you were doing it on purpose to act like a caricature or some sort of false flag operation against conservatives.

Axe the tax seems to have been the correct move which the conservatives having been calling for over many years. They opposed the annual increases and they wanted the carbon tax gone. The Liberals have finally taken that advice and adolished the carbon tax and even environmental activists like Guilbeault are on board with that decision. Also, BC NDP followed up with their own plan to axe the tax.

I think people have forgotten that the the typical Liberal government before Trudeau was fiscal right and social left. Carney isn’t a wholesale change to the Liberal foundation it’s more a reversion to its past.

Have any of the federal parties said anything about the Pathways CCUS? Last I can find Pathways was trying to make a deal with the federal government to fix carbon pricing but that was a year ago.

It's weird with everything going on we're not hearing anything about a potential $16bn project in Alberta

I'm sure no one wants to say a peep until after an election. That one is a bit of a land mine for everyone.

When has a far-right politician ever apologized for a mistake?

They never do, hardline right wingers always double down. They'd rather start nuclear wars and destroy our entire universe than have the integrity to admit when they're wrong.

I think that the issue that the CPC just can't seem to come to grips with is why support is moving away from them to the Liberals. They seem to think it's all about policy and the cost of living when it's still about the existential threat from the US and who can deal with that. Sure, people want to pay less tax, and the cost of living is something, but the reality is that this has taken a backseat to the US aggression.

Much like the right wing loons, Thomas Mulcair was never the same after Trudeau beat him.

The drivers behind pathways are shifting to a "take down the industrial carbon tax too!" platform. Led by our illustrious club owner N. Murray Go####yerself, they signed a letter. IMO it basically confirms the undermessaging that has been dogging Pathways for years; it was always a white elephant project that the sand miners were using to soak up government funds and make vague future promises while not actually advancing it in meaningful ways, or having meaningful negotiations about it.

I hope they are forced into it personally. If not, perhaps we can start a specific tax for that region and then build and operate it for them.

Alberta's already got one of (if not the) largest operational carbon sequestration pipelines in the world with the ACTL, and it is only like 20% filled. It's an incredible resource and enables investments like Dow's Path2Zero project ($11 billion in AB under construction right now) but ultimately we don't need too many more of these to be built asap while we have existing capacity. This one can't service the oil sands reasonably, so Pathways would be something separate, but Alberta is still making good strides in CCUS. Just not from those liars.
