Most say economy would suffer, Canada-U.S. relationship would worsen; some Conservatives diverge July 23, 2024 – The U.S. presidential race was turned on its head by the Sunday news that current President Joe Biden had stopped his campaign for re-election and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to replace him. Whether Harris is the nominee, and...
And yet they are braying for Trump Lite who is playing directly from the US christofascist playbook of grievance and identity politics while making impossible promises without ever telling us how he plans to deliver. But, he’s"not Trudeau" amiright?
You said that the NDP has done more for Canadians than the CPC, so since the CPC’s job is to oppose the government can you point out when they failed to do that to the detriment of Canadians?
Just to be clear we are in agreement that NDP has done more for Canadians this term.
If CPC/Oppositions job is purely to oppose the government why did they vote yes thousands of times on Liberal/NDP motions. By your standard are you saying Conservative MP’s are so incompetent they don’t when to stand or press the right button?
I’m not certain the NDP has done more than the CPC, but of they have it’s been outweighed by propping up all the other bullshit of this government.
How many times now has Singh chastised the Liberals but supported the very same policies anyways when it actually came down to votes in Parliament?
My point about it being the CPC’s job to oppose is that it’s not their job to come up with ideas.
Edit: Basically, my view is that although the NDP have done a few positive things (as have the Liberals) they’ve been a net negative on the country since 2019 whereas the CPC net is basically zero because the odd few things they’ve tried to do other than oppose, both positive and negative, don’t pass in Parliament. IMHO the biggest positive thing that has happened since 2019 the CPC and NDP (and Bloc) voted together on against the Liberals: when they stopped the Liberals from assuming unaccountable emergency power right at the beginning of the pandemic… It’s too bad this alliance didn’t continue.
Logically speaking wouldn’t you be against the person who said they’d use the notwithstanding clause running the country?
From a Conservatives perspective NDP is blocking them from taking over and saving the country. From Progressive perspective the NDP is preventing a bad government turning even worse.
To be honest, my level of trust in the CPC isn’t all that greater than the LPC… marginally more at best.

This is absolute bullshit, the NDP have been Liberal enablers since 2019. If they were actually serious about stopping the Liberals Singh wouldn’t be voting with them in the HoC.
