I also don't believe that COVID is a nothingburger, don't believe that big rallies mean that Trump is going to win or that Alberta is "back to normal" like you've claimed. But hey, keep posting your "Feelings" and I'll give them all the due consideration that they deserve.

ps: there's a reason you're treated like lepers in the Atlantic provinces, figure it out.
Hey I had to give up my trip to Tucson and anyone that says Trump hasn't done a crappy job on Covid is as nuts as the person that says Justin Trudeau has done a great job. The USA gets an "F" on their handling and at best Canada gets a "C"

Anyone that thinks Trump wins in a landslide are also dreamers. Could Trump win of course. The fact that Shifty wants Trump to win is as he wants his sector to thrive I get. It is no different than voting for Trudeau now. You accept his corruption as as he is running on your agenda. Biden is a horrible candidate it's like the conservatives picking Scheer . There were so many better choices

As for us being treated like Lepers in Atlantic Canada I would not know as I have never been there. Though we tend to treat Atlantic Canada folks with respect.

The leper comment was in response to me looking at his past posting for something approaching an argument that wasn't anecdotal. He'd claimed that Alberta had it under control and that his 'friends' who visited the Maritimes during COVID were being treated poorly. For some reason that confused him I think.

Trudeau's made mistakes. Not sure how many fall into the category of hindsight being 20/20, but they've not been anywhere near perfect. You may be right on the grades, but remember, we tend to grade our politicians on the curve: Trudeau's C becomes a B+ when we look south at a president who obviously doesn't care.

Lol, you are a joke. The back story was to explain that I very much have a feel for what the industry thinks. Do you have any evidence to support other wise or an answer to any of the polls that have been posted?

I never said Alberta had it under control. I said everything is basically open back up to somewhat normal, such as gyms, pools, rec centers, rinks, schools etc.

You lack reading comprehension don't you. I never said friends that traveled to the atlantic provinces. I said co-workers that reside in the atlantic provinces but work else where in the country as rotational workers get treated like lepers when they go home and are not able to leave their house and do normal things like gym, golf, pools etc. And that I'm happy I can do that by living and working in Alberta.

So you search this thread for my posts and those are the best gotcha's you found? Very weak!

I mean it's not a left-leaning think tank or the Trans Mountain. But it's still a pipeline.

Reality is even with Trumps approval the Keystone has faced the same court challenges that the Trans Mountain did. I am sure once they hit the supreme court the Keystone would get approved.

I am curious what happens to Kenney's pledge or investment in Keystone if Biden cancels it .

Sorry, but I only remembered that nonsense due to it being more foolish than the norm. I don't need to search the thread for your posts, I've found more than enough evidence to confirm my suspicions about you in the past few days in the Trump thread - only one of us relies on gotchas or one liners in an attempt to score points.

I guess if it makes you feel better, apologies for mis-rememebring something you typed a month ago: there, now you can continue to posit why Trump drawing 15,000 fans (and leaving them stranded) is a bad sign for Biden. Unlike many other claims made, that one'll be provable one way or the other shortly.

I'd be surprised if he does. If elected Biden is going to have to keep up with the Trump economy or he'll be a 1 term president. I also don't think Trump is great for the Canadian oil and gas industry either. A lot of investment flowed south of the border since he won in 2016 with the lower taxes, deregulations and the oil and gas boom that occured.

Lets be honest both their economies were false. When your running huge deficits its a false economy. I would peg the last truely vibrant economy under Bill Clinton were you were running surpluses and had great job growth.

+1
The only good thing Trudeau did compare to trump is Trudeau invested into infrastructure while trump give simply free money to the rich .
Beside that both were not good at all .

Saw a few posts from CDN's on FB asking
How Joe Biden can win the popular vote and not be president?

Glad that can not happen in Canada

What fake news polls are you talking about? Pretty much every poll has the Liberals out to a majority status now due to their good response from COVID

If anything O'Toole is doing worse than Scheer for his Pro Trump stance.

Trudeau is someone who utterly destroyed Harper (who despite being a bad PM for the people was a good politician for his party)... I don't see how O'Toole has a chance

I'll admit that I don't know much about the larger picture in Canadian politics but didn't NDP just have a historically great result in the BC elections, including massively out-fundraising the Liberals? It seems odd that that would be the case in BC, which is normally won by the Liberals, but that they would be in a terrible position and likely to lose seats in a country-wide election.

The NDP have done well in BC and the liberals ran a horrible campaign. No one expected an election call as well as the leader of the NDP whom had a minority government and teamed up with the Green Party and also signed a declaration that they would not call an early election if the partnered up. The leader John Horgan was riding the wave of popularity due to the great job BC was doing on Covid and than broke his promise and called an election. Proving the point no party really has integrity and only cares about power.

You are correct the latest poll on Nov 3 rd has the liberals up. Though you note the previous one had the conservatives up

LPC: 34% (+1)
CPC: 31% (-3)
NDP: 21% (+5)
BQ: 7% (-1)
GPC: 6% (-1)

What polls are you looking at? Because from what I'm seeing on cbc CON haven't been close to LIB since April and CON polling is down 4points since the election last year:

https://newsinteractives.cbc.ca/elec...racker/canada/

Edit: After looking through the dozens of polls that cbc are using I didn't see even a single poll that had CON > LIB since the end of February.

CBC that would be like me using Rebel Media Polls I was using Polling Canada on twitter

Though I think we can say Polls have not been to accurate lately

Ill be the first to admit defeating Trudeau will be hard for the Conservatives. I think Rona Ambrose was their best choice but she did not want the job. Trudeau is like Trump it doesn't matter what he does he has his base

Uhh, as far as I can tell the Polling Canada twitter is collating almost exactly the same polls (Leger, Innovative Research, Ipsos, etc.) as the CBC page I linked and also hasn't had a Con lead since early in the year.

I get most of my Canada news from Global National. That is were I saw a few months ago that Otoole was leading. Looking at all the polling lately it is clear Justin hasa 3 point lead.
I do find Vassy on CBC Power & politics to be unbiased voice as well.

Though let me know if you need links on Trudeau's Corruption as well I can definitely source those . Trudeau had a lot of promise just failed to deliver though Ill give him high marks on legalizing pot ( no pun intended) and Syrian refugees

-All about his fathers money
-Used his stance in office for him and his family to profit
-Destroyed a military officers career as he testified against him
-If you disagree with him your out of cabinet or office
-Tried to get his justice minister or AG to interfere in ongoing investigations
-Used his office to make sure his friends got big contracts

It's important to note that in BC, the Liberals are more like the federal Conservatives. I would never vote for them, for instance.

Also, the leader of the green party that had the confidence and supply aggreement with the NDP to maintain power had literally stepped down (partially being run out due to infighting within the green party). The new green leader represented a very different flank of the party and the confidence and supply agreement was now more or less totally void in terms of the policy things they were working on and the actual leader to whom it was signed. This all meant an election was relatively reasonable. Now of course the liberals (again, they are more or less conservatives) were absolutely furious that horgan called an election when he was insanely popular for a great job done and was essentially guaranteed a huge majority, which he got. There is of course absolutely nothing either legally or by convention wrong with a minority government calling an election and seeking a majority, this is healthy. When the electorate strongly supports a party, it is appropriate that this is reflected with a majority.

Of course he was within his right to do it but....

So what your saying is you do not believe in integrity and honoring a promise you made by politicians? One that you actually had a big signing ceremony of
