Good stuff Yoho, thanks for sharing, despite the misleading text from True North.

Someone has seen his polling numbers slip I’m thinking.

Convincing performance.
I think he actually believes the things that come out of his mouth. Maybe he should go on another vacation, that is all he is good at.

Either which way you decide to vote, this next election, whenever it comes, is going to be so bad for Canada.

Sure seems to be the trend for elections these days. All the politicians are ####. Not sure how it became a race to the bottom but politics is in a sad state worldwide.

I watched a Ray Dalio video that is mostly about financial systems and world order but it does mention that this political divide we're seeing does repeat itself through history. Not entirely on topic but an interesting watch nonetheless.

There are no parties worthy of my vote. Its unbelievable.

There are no options, no centralist parties, no parties that don't have corruption issues. No parties that aren't incredibly arrogant and out of touch.

No parties that have any clue of how an economy works, how defense works.

No parties that aren't more concerned with their 140 letter tweet.

Did you actually listen to this, probably not but whatever. Sure he was heated when he spoke but I thought it was good responses. I know I am tired of this convoy bull#### and how they work.
Yes he was heated and you could tell he is tired of answering questions about these jackasses, but I can't blame him.

Are you surprised? Why would anyone want to go into the ####hole that is modern politics?

It's now become the eminent domain of policy wonks, coasting backbenchers wanting a paycheque and underqualified angry virtue signalers who find out they're quickly in over their heads when they have to adult.

If there's such a thing as re-incarnation Ozzy, in my next life I'm totally going into politics. Easy money no expectations of real work. Access to dollars to give to my buddies. The ability to lie without consequences. The full permission to be hypocritical, cover up corruption.

Yeah, I am completely disgusted and disconnected from all parties in this countries, and I always ask how the hell this country has failed so bad to build leaders.

I think I'll form my own party, I'll call it the CCCP (Canadian completely corrupt Party) I'll campaign on honesty as in I'm honesty just running for the pension. I promise no actions, I'm going to enrich my friends. But at least I'm up front about it.

Any Calgarpuckers are allowed to join the party, there's a nominal membership fee of a case of beer to me. I promise you all made up jobs in my new government. Minister of conspeak. Minister of feathertorture. Minister of sexparty coordination on the taxpayers dime. Minister of contract distribution.

I expect I'll get a few thousand protest votes if I did it.

Can I be the Minister of Yelling at Citizens in their Driveways? I promise to keep the press distracted from the real grifting.

I'll gladly sign up for Minister of Drinks on the Beach. We'll have to keep the hybrid parliamentary sitting so that I can remote into the House from the beach.

Yes we are the only true big tent party out there, we'll take anyone but mysogonists, racists, and other recessives.

We have a set rule of conduct. With one set of rules.
1) The right to parlay
2) Take what you can, give nothing back
3) Yaar

Fewer and fewer are falling for his divisiveness and judging him on his own merit record.

I’m intrigued, what are your labour policies going to look like?

I listened to as much as I could get through. He sounded like he usually does - fake. Like a bad actor trying to play a politician in a made for TV biopic. Might as well play some cheesy, uplifting music in the background.

In order to get elected we intend to promise a labor free future, where if you choose to work and get paid do your own thing.

To make up the revenue shortfall we intend to sell sponsorships where mega companies can buy chucks of Canada's land to put up advertisements that can be seen from space. As well we will die slogans into the great lakes as well as their names as everyone get confused by that.

After of course bribes by these megacorps for their advertising rights we intend to split the money evenly with Canadians.

As well we intend to have the national sport of Canada changed to wrestling and set up a large Canadian Government sponsored better app where you can bet on the results. Of course the wrestling industry will be nationalized and we will have a government booking department.

We also intend to cede the province of Quebec to the mighty nation of Tongo who would beat us in a war to avoid any possible hard feelings.

People don't have to defend Trudeau because they don't like the CPC. Trudeau has been an awful, mostly absent Prime Minister - more concerned with a soundbite than actual policy.

If you think that's too partisan a statement, look at what multiple former members of his Cabinet have said about him.

Trudeau has to go. It's just too bad that Pierre the unlikeable Boy Scout is the only likely replacement.
