Huh? If he is unable to form government, then he should resign. But lol at thinking he should resign if he just wins a minority government that "loses seats".

JFC, sometimes you're like a caricature of a few people I know on Facebook that are the worst spreaders of moronic memes.

AOC actually said "Millennials, and Gen z, and all these folks that come after us, are looking up and we're like 'the world will end in 12 years if we don't address climate change, and your biggest issue is how are we gonna pay for it?'"

LOL @ this being the same as "AOC telling us the world will end in 10 years" (and not because you got the number wrong). But even if she had said that...what of it? Are we really supposed to say "good point" to someone who is dismissive of climate change, because of one politician's hyperbole?

LO****ingL.

Right, they don't ever come out and say "we deny climate change". Not many people do. But they do everything they can to hand wave it away with nonsense like *there is no consensus* and *thanks to climate change we just came out of an ice age*.

I used 10 years as I do believe she said it 12 years ago. Sadly people listen to her on both sides.

Heck I think it is the biggest issue were facing and sorry the evidence was there right in front of our faces.

My biggest point is that Trudeau is a Climate Phony and as a CDN if this is your biggest issue your vote really should go NDP

Not taking sides in this discussion but I would think there would be calls for him to step down, even within his party, if they end up losing seats.

His calling of the election is a strategic choice he made to gain seats. To get a majority. To lose seats would show a massive misjudgement and tactical error and it is usually the top dog who is held responsible for that.

I’d put it at like 0.5% chance someone who wins an election and becomes prime minister would step down for not winning convincingly enough. I can’t think of a precedent where that has happened in a parliamentary democracy. Sure conservative morons will make whatever calls they want, and there is always grumbling from party insiders, but it isn’t a realistic option.

You are voting conservative. Like is this just pure projection? The “plan” that is the most phony is the ****ing conservatives, your guy. You don’t get to pretend to care about climate change and make zero detail posts about whether the NDPs hypothetical climate change platform would have been better or worse than what the Liberals actually implemented.

Hold on You say I do not care about Climate Change which is total BS

Unlike Justin Trudeau when asked what he does for the environment I do not use cardboard water bottles. I walk the walk in my daily life and in my business.

I agree Climate change is a problem and a serious one at that which your phony PM bought a pipeline and tries to argue it will not effect how much is shipped out.
Your phony guy said will never leave the oil in the ground
Your Phony guy allows Canada to export the dirtiest fossil fuel through BC ports from the USA because US states ban it
Your phony guy allows millions of gallons of raw sewage to be dumped in the Ocean
Your Phony guy will not even account were all the carbon tax funds are going

Yet you have no problems with the fact he has done nothing on sexual assault in the military in 6 years implemented anything from the Truth & reconciliation committee . You have no issue with your guy telling us he would get 21,000 Afghanistan allies out 10 days ago and now leaving Canadians to die

You would be more concerned if someone mis-gendered a afghan ally than killed them .

If the Liberals were to lose seats I think there would be lots of talk as to whether Trudeau should step down or not and it would not just be 'conservative morons' and grumbling party insiders' who would be discussing it.


Would you at least concede that it would monumentally bad judgement for a leader with still 2 years on his mandate, to call a snap election and end up doing worse when the entire reason for it is their judgement that they are in a position to gain?

If he ends up losing seats then in actuality he ended up calling the election for the opposition. They will be the ones reveling and celebrating. Trudeau and his advisors would be licking their wounds, having diminished their position and asking 'why did we do this again?'

I didn't think, tactically, he should have called an election. But elections are gambles. There was a lot of evidence on the pro-side that this was a good time to gamble for a majority, particularly riding the wave of success of the vaccination program and general freeing up of most restrictions. And there were risks, predictably about delta but less predictably we have seen a just devastating news cycle on Afghanistan. So I would have taken the "no" side of that bet, but I respect that it is a bet and it not paying off doesn't necessarily imply terrible judgement.

Time travel certainly makes wagering easier. I agree with the above assessment. With the elections here it is often a gamble on a snap shot and you roll the dice with how the near future plays out. Lot more variance in the world these days as well.

No offence but that’s what piss me off.
Elections that cost multiple hundred of millions of dollar , should not be compare to a game and gambling .
Especially during a time in crisis AND a functioning government.

Politics in the 21st century being considered a game in the 21st century explains a lot of the stupidity in the politics sphere…

Election should be considered a serious matter and have consequences when politicians uses it just for their own benefits .
Im not aiming at JT but its a fact .

No wonder people do not take politics seriously anymore .
No different than a hockey game anymore .

That is as dumb as Jason Kenney when asked if he would invest in the Keystone XL again and said yes.

Of course not .
Not a reason to Perpetuate it as a good and normal thing tho .
Especially from one politician like JT who won his first term exactly in the presumption of a new generation of politicians that care about the people first and not their political career over everything else ….

It’s the hypocrisy of JT that makes it worst .
I’m saying this while I would vote liberal first anyway before PC ….
Just shows you how bad I think JT did lately and frankly , for a long time .
Glad Im in Quebec …
Don’t have to vote for either of them .

The ability for Liberals to read minds and know what people actually mean when they don't say it always impresses me. Is there consensus? Consensus thought the world was going to burn when the US left the Paris accord, they cut emissions during that time while becoming the worlds leading oil producer.

It's bizarre that you get upset about the PPC's climate change policy but not the left-wing parties. Fear-mongering and spreading lies about climate change to scare people into voting for them.

You were making a point about how many people have been saying the world would end in 10 years, as if this happens a lot, and came up with one politician who said something similar that doesn't read at all like something I'd take literally. Modelling around climate change isn't an exact science, and those who like to deny or minimalize it just love to turn that into some big gotcha, like scientists have no idea, so this is all much ado about nothing. If you're really concerned about climate change, I don't know why you'd want to help propagate similar nonsense.

This is in reply to me, but doesn't appear to be addressed to me. I'm not a Liberal (maybe a liberal), and am not attempting to read anyone's mind. I provided what I think are a couple of fairly accurate paraphrases of the PPC platform, and that's it.

No, it really didn't (think the world was going to burn). Many people were concerned when the US pulled out, but I certainly didn't see consensus that the US action, on its own, doomed the world.

Who's upset? Seems rather silly to get upset about the policy of a fringe party that's not going to ever be anything more than they are now.

Also this, he really should ask the candidates to step down for public safety.
