Well the NDPis always an option. If you kind of like the conservatives but you don’t like the current candidates you should probably get involved with your local writing association and see about helping to pick a candidate that you like. Or if you’ve already got a conservative MP in your writing meet with his or her policy committee or them directly and talk about what you’d like to see different. You’d be amazed at how much of an effect that has and if you feel that way then there’s bound to be others who also feel that way.
Democracy isn’t about just showing up once every four or five years to vote after all 😁
Well, it’s kind of complicated 😁
We signed the original deal a decade and change ago and then built the bridge. The deal was that all revenues would go to canada until the 4.5 billion usd price was paid back, then it would go to income splitting.
Trump said ‘nope’ and Carney and trump agreed to a new deal. But Carney would not let the details be released. However the documents have since been leaked, and we BELIEVE the leaked version is correct. The liberals have not said otherwise.
The new deal is a more of a preliminary deal document which is being finalized, but the terms of the deal are laid out.
Carney said the new deal still included the ‘pay back canada for the bridge’ clause, but its’ pretty clear from the leaked doc that it does not. Carney has subsequently said he "could have explained that better’ and does not deny that will no longer be the case.
There is also a requirement now to pay into a ‘development fund’ for ‘the area’ which is thought to mean it would be spent on the US side, and may even go to maintenance of the competing bridge. The libs refuse to confirm or deny that.
So … the NEW deal is still in place but there are a few elements which SOUND pretty bad but we’re not sure about. It seems certain however that when carney said (two times) that the bridge would include repayment he was not speaking accurately. Some say he lied, some say he may have been “misbriefed,” but either way it looks horrible and hence the pic

12·1 month agoNobody thought nafta had anything to do with a recession 😂😂😂😂 The word recession wasn’t even mentioned 😁😁 This is what happens when you pay too much attention to the voices in your head
My numbers are perfectly accurate and Golly Gee… you can’t post any at all!!! Why it’s almost like you’re just talking out of your ass!! LOLOL!!!
Harper pissed china off on a regular basis. He literally invited the Dalai lama to visit and more than once told china to piss off. They were always a little nervous around him. But sure he wanted to do business with them if possible, but he sure as hell didn’t cozy up to them the way Justin did. That’s why they called Justin little potato. And carney is just absolutely their man in Ottawa. China lent carney the money that Brooksfield Lent to elon musk to buy twitter. And they lent him that money when he was over there working for Trudeau and the Canadian government to deal with another issue
So swinging a miss there too. You really don’t know your history
And sorry kid but the only one who is senile and childish here is you. I have presented facts, links, actual information and all you’ve done is wine and cry and everything that you have said has turned out to be false
In the last half century the conservatives have been the ones that have moved Canada forward and built Canada up, the liberals are always the ones who have no idea what to do next and wind up tearing down the hard work of others

12·1 month agoFree trade agreement with the USA. You know, that thing that dug us out of the hole the LAST trudeau got us into and that is in the newspaper every single day now? Holy crap you’re out of the loop. How have you never heard of the free trade agreement between Canada and the US?
the libs didn’t pass our banking regs. Our major banking reforms, credited with saving us during the recession, was authored and passed by Brian Mulroney in 1987 and 1992 and changed canada entirely. which set us up for prosperity later.
Harper spent over $100 billion in infrastructure. He didn’t spend Even a billion on advertising. You really have no knowledge of any of this it would seem. Maybe you should do some more reading before you talk
During Stephen Harper’s tenure as Prime Minister (2006–2015), the federal government spent an estimated $750 million to $757 million on advertising campaigns., https://www.google.com/search?

13·1 month agoNope, it doesn’t mean it’s turned around. I can go over the numbers and circumstances leading up to each and every one if you like. I feel like that won’t work out the way you wanted,
The conservatives came up with gst, free trade agreements, and banking changes that saved us during the worldwide recession, they came up with ‘shovel ready’ infrastructure models during the recession which really worked for us, along with the cmhc buy back which was nothing short of brilliant and kept our banks flush with cash to lend, and about a dozen other things. And PP has proposed many ideas that would make a substantial difference right now. Carney steals ideas but can’t implement.
I’m sure it’s upsetting because it doesn’t meet with your narrative but that doesn’t make it less true.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.ca•Conservative politicians love to bitch about shit but how do they ever propose to improvr anything?
12·1 month agoNo. You’re wrong. Here’s a chart

As you can see almost all of our peaks are always around the liberals. The liberals almost unanimously add massive amounts to the debt
Worse the liberals usually leave things in such a mess that we have massive inflation that has to have massive increases in interest rates which makes the debt grow even faster and they just leave that for conservatives to deal with
So it would be you who is rewriting history and badly at that
Trudeau racked up debt and massively spiked inflation, mulroney put that down
Chretchen only reduced the deficit and debt by stealing 70 billion dollars from the unemployment insurance fund and left things a mess, harper scared us through the economic crisis
Justin Trudeau borrowed more money than every other prime minister before him and Carney is set to do the same
The only people who have had good ideas in the last 60 years have been conservatives. And Carney ran on conservative ideas now.
Sorry kid, you failed that one hard

14·1 month agoAbsolute nonsense. It was a conservative government that dealt with the massive debt left by the liberal governments under the first Trudeau the negotiated the original free trade deal that saved our asses at the time. It was a conservative government that moved from the hidden taxes to the GST which made things considerably better as well. It was a conservative government that wrote the banking act that saved us during the great recession while the American banking system collapsed.
And it was a later CPC government that pulled a bunch of extremely unique and Innovative tricks to get us through the great recession largely unscathed compared to other countries. Tricks that Trudeau would later use but had never been used before.
The current conservative party is making dozens of extremely good suggestions that would radically change how things are: And Carney based his entire campaign off of other conservative suggestions
It would be more accurate to say that conservatives are the only party that proposes solutions. The liberal steal some of them and then fail to execute
