2025 Canadian General Election

LOL

For those who don't follow the NHL, there are only one or two games left in the regular season for most teams before the playoffs begin (I think they start on Saturday).

The Habs are in a battle with the Columbus Blue Jackets to lock up the last playoff spot. The Habs have one game left, the Blue Jackets two.
So it could be a pivotal game for the Habs tomorrow, however the Blue Jackets play tonight, and if they lose that game then that's it, and the Habs are in.
So declaring this now is stupid and childish attention seeking "look at me I know the hockeys things!" It's frankly embarrassing if this is all the NDP has left in their toolkit before their national obliteration.

Is that man actually an idiot or just pretending?

He can't seriously think they will change the date of the debate.

Does he think his potential voters are too dump to use the record function on their PVR, or to stream something after the fact?

I'll probably advance vote, but I am going to watch the debate before making up my mind who to vote for.

For me, it's already been decided who I should back. Basing it on policies I can get mostly behind, the likeliness they are to win and with this election, who is the best person (and party) to stare down Donald Trump. I don't really need debates determine that. As debates are prone to declare "winners" by media pundits who have vested interest in seeing the candidate (and their party) they like to win the election. So they are a bit pointless in the end, IMO...

...but at the end of the day and with enough vetted info out there, I am unlikely to regret my choice. And for what that's worth.

I got a call from the Liberal Party of Canada today and my phone labelled it as "Potential Fraud".

All of them (and pollsters) are reported like this, I suspect because they are doing mass phoning.

I met former Premier Christy Clark yesterday. She is out stumping with Liberal candidates in tight ridings. Very friendly and personable.

...and they just move the French language debate up from 8:00 to 6:00 pm...

The Bloc are also calling for it to be changed, and as the post makes clear, this has happened before.
So why would he not believe it's possible to change the date?

Foreign Affairs Specialist Janice Stein endorsed Liberal Leader Mark Carney as well this morning and praised him and called him the "world's leading economist".

That seems like an overstatement.

Probably inspired by the Nardwuar interview, to keep on rockin in the free world.

From what little I follow western politics, I was always been impressed with her.

The difficult thing for young men is that with catastrophically expensive housing, to have a hope of being able to buy a home.....

Most adults in the developed world outside of the USA/Canada rent. My friend is a surgeon in Germany and says he'll never own a home, but that no one does except for the wealthy landowner class. Not being able to buy a home is no excuse for failure to launch. When I got my first job in 1996 I immediately moved out into a basement apartment on the Danforth that took more than 50% of my monthly income - but dammit, I was out.
