I think PP has a legit chance at victory - unlikeable as he is.

This should clearly be investigated and find out who knew what.

Which is absolutely hilarious because, frankly, 'likeability' is pretty much all Trudeau has going for him.

Other than seemingly 'being a nice guy' Trudeau is dumber than a box of rocks.

Poilievre on the other hand might actually be the anthropomorphization of that box of rocks.

If a receptacle of rocks were human...would they be Pierre Poilievre?

I think yes.

You find Trudeau likeable? I think he's pretty insufferable. I mean maybe next to Pierre and grading on a curve...

But...Singh essentially doesnt have a dog in this fight. If there were a Conservative Government he'd probably be ousted from Government and have to get a real job, so he should be thanking China.

It depends, doesn't it? If there's a CPC government next time but the NDP gain 50% more seats he probably stays on, I would think.

Well an enquiry that shows that some Liberals and a couple CCP candidates were helped by the Chinese, but no NDPers is maybe helpful? Of course the CCP weren't going to help them because they want to fund winners, but that's beside the point!

Sort of ironic that the Commies wouldn't fund the Socialists. Workers of the world aren't united after all I guess.

Then again, I sort of classify China as techno-fascists these days anyway, so... Hmm... Dunno where I was going with this.

I just think too many eyes are on NDP on this one to do somthing or at least voice concerns.
To sit on their hands and look away leaves no doubt what is really going on with the “arrangement”

At least this way they can pretend to continuing the charade of “keeping the liberal government accountable.”

I know, I was thinking along similar lines but the whole thing falls apart because nobody is really ideologically aligned.

Its not a Junior High Social Studies textbook anymore.

I think a big part of keeping Trudeau in office is women voters...obviously because of his looks.

Likeable is the wrong term, charismatic fits better.
