A vague callout? Gosh, no! There’s just so many I didn’t have the energy to name them all. Everyone who criticizes the Liberal party is bipartisan, didn’t you know?

Since the recent by-election losses by the Liberals, I'm thinking the Cons will win the next election in majority fashion.

Even though Pollievre is the worst of Sheer, or O'Toole, Canadians are getting to the point they're just tired of Trudeau.

Right now my riding is polling 'CPC Safe' I'm gonna have a look to see the last time my riding was blue. It's a red stronghold, when we get fed up with red we go orange.

The CPC Candidate is awesome though. If the CPC can run really good candidates they've got a chance in the Meat and Potatoes, Fisheries, EI Atlantic. (Especially if they get a good candidate in that other Cape Breton riding).

This election is going to be dirty, US Presidental campaign dirty.

I don't know if it's a formal requirement but how can someone be PM and have responsibility for the safety of the country without it? Our allies would sure as heck care.

Although I've heard PP supporters say it's ok because every MP needs to swear an oath. Makes me feel much better about the situation.

Yeah that’s what I was thinking. It makes no sense for him not to have it because even if he did have it he still couldn’t be forced to read un-redacted reports, etc..

Worse yet, imagine a scenario where someone gets elected as Prime Minister and then fails the security screening after the fact.

Incredibly smart, very personable, socially liberal, provides childcare to her staff, strongly supports LGBTQ. community, will do anything for anyone.

The only flaw I know of, she's a big fan of Pollievre.

If elected, and CPC forms government, they're gonna be a cabinet minister and a high profile one.

Justin Trudeau is the headline guest on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, apparently. Followed by Rupaul. These are indeed strange times, but I'm watching.

I wonder what would happen if we had a PM that didn't qualify for a Top Secret clearance (I'm presuming that's the level they need)? E.g. past trouble with the law or suspect financial history. I run my company's government security program and we've had a couple of people who had issues getting just a "Reliability" level because of incidents when they were young or being cousins with the wrong person. Does the PM just get cleared automatically?

I would imagine that the cpc will win with a majority, but they will lose the next election in a bad way.

Canada is at its base a socially liberal place. The big issue with the Liberal Party is that they've governed too long.

They're at the natural expiry date of any party. Harper and Mulroney lasted nine years as well. Chretien and Martin shared 13 years of Liberal governance, which is crazy long in retrospect.

This feels a lot like the 1984 election where Mulroney won in a landslide. 1988 was a much tighter election where the NDP at one point actually led in the polls going into it. The PCs won another majority in 1988 but much diminished and then were wiped out almost entirely in the 1993 election.

Well, 1988 was free-trade, and then 1993 was basically the GST. If you recall, Mulroney stacked the Senate to get the GST through and it was loathed by Canadians. There were other issues, but those were the big ones for those elections.
