So does that include Rebel Media and the CBC

It surprises me though that folks can pound Scheer on his anti gay speech 15-20 years ago but no journalist pounds Trudeau on why he had to leave the academy?

Trudeau is kinda the Liberal Trump Gropes woman, interferes in investigations, fires people that stand up to him but as long as he believes in Climate change.

He should help Alberta leave than he would hit Canada's Climate targets

I don't actually know anything about Canadian media, I was just interested to see how credible the article was and discovered that the Chronicle was essentially just a right-wing sensationalist site that doesn't care whether their articles have any basis in fact.

To be honest I know very little about Canadian politics at all and was mostly just lurking the thread because the conversations were interesting with the election happening.

Halo effect, is when people assign positive attributes to people because they are good looking.

The Alberta/Saskatchewan wanting is complete trash. Everyone in Canada would be happy to see them leave and no one would care.

Well I mean when you have one province that's richer than the others solely based on what's underneath their feet they should probably pay more

My comment was more tongue in cheek than anything as I'm from Saskatchewan - but this whole wexit thing is really dumb

I don't know its picking up steam . What is required to call a vote on it? Could only the Provincial Government have a vote or could a 100,000 signatures trigger a vote. Quebec was super close.

Also could Alberta remove itself from the Equalization plan? Use the not withstanding clause?

where did that PPC supporter go? Was very happy to see the racist, climate change denying stain do absolutely abysmally. Hopefully that will be the end of canada's little flirtation with that nonsense.

Scheer did a great job hiring the PR firm to get that message out there.

I never knew limiting immigration was racist. No question he is a against any climate action. The party is dead as their leader is gone.
Id rather have him get the seats than the Bloc.

I've actually been reading kinsella's blog off and on for over a decade, although it's been a few years now. He ran Oliva Chow's war room back when she was running for toronto mayor. Anyways, I think he is correct to be absolutely unapologetic here.

"Limiting Immigration" as a sort of context-less policy isn't racist in the same way many of Trump's immigration policies are not a priori racist, or just like any number of policies supported by far right european nationalists are not a priori racist. However, they don't exist in vacuums. His party attempted (and thankfully failed) to capitalize on nationalist right-wing anti-immigrant populist rhetoric as a single party issue when he couldn't take losing to Scheer. You were pretty good at calling out quebec's racist when they banned religious symbols and dumped support for the leader who wore a turban, and you were right. But you don't think that 1% far right fringe that voted PPC had a distinctly racist current to it too?

And always remember: that's the guy conservatives almost voted to be their leader. Good riddance! But at least he isn't as much of a homophobe, so I suppose there is that.

NO Question or Yes

See I think Scheer still insisting he ill not ever march in a gay parade hurts him. His excuse is weal also. I think folks would have more respect for him if he said my faith says **** sexuality is a sin and I still believe that but in my role in government I will not bring those beliefs and will fight for LGBQT2S rights always.

Personally I voted early and voted Scheer but after he did that stunt of saying Trudeau would raise the GST to 7.5 % I would have voted NDP. I will not vote for Andrew Scheer again

Funny now that Kenney is elected he is slashing and cutting which in effect raises taxes or overall cost to each Albertan to $1200 a year. Broken so many promises. I didn't vote for him

Though Encana leaving Canada and 1/2 of all the rigs in Alberta have moved to Texas is not looking good for the province

I am sure an apology is coming this Saturday and it was a disgusting comment. Like wearing a poppy is mandatory.

Don Cherry is one of the worst things about Canada.

The only good thing about this idiot is that you know anyone that respects his opinion is not worth listening to.

Disgusting. It's amazing to me that don cherry is still on television. Like he's been a crazy right wing shill forever (remember standing by rob ford blasting the pinkos back in the day?). CTV should be expecting racist comments like these, which makes the apologies ring pretty hollow. I dunno what it's like when anyone else watches hockey but I've never been in a room where people are excited to watch his segments, inevitably someone ends up muting them because they can't stand the guy anyways.

Don Cherry is a guy who made all his cash of his Rock Em Sock em videos than called the payers that sued the NHL whiners and a few other things. I stopped watching him 10 -15 years ago. I was shocked to see Ron Maclean stand by and say nothing.

What just pops up on my computer " Don Cherry fired by Sportsnet"

Funny thing I was walking through Safeway today and I think he should have said. " What is wrong with CDN's everywhere I go so few are wearing the poppies" I saw so few poppies and so many white folks not wearing them
