PM Justin Trudeau's Canada

Yeah, I oversimplified the issue, you are correct.

True. Plus the fact that as a tenured professor of psychology - a serious academic discipline as opposed to, say, communications studies or gender studies - Peterson is actually a real scholar. Most of his critics, not so much.

I'm a male moderate who has never been with Trudeau and most certainly won't be fleeing to the Tories as they have existed since Peter McKay sold out the PCs. For example, the only high profile federal Tory I can get behind is Michael Chong and if you remember how he did in the leadership race.... (though, I do have a soft spot for Bernier and his lovable libertarianism)

Like, maybe if it was still all Cambell, Charest, Wayne, and Orchard with a dash of Chong.

I was a CPC supporter for a long time and mainly voted Liberal last time because the incumbent MP was a horrible lady. Given how far they have lurched to the right, I can't support them.

I didn't know about this scandal until today.

Great column by Susan Delacourt in the Star:

If Trudeau is wearing thin on some people, as the pollsters keep telling us, what exactly is the problem? Conservatives are saying that Canadians are simply coming to their senses and recognizing the politician they always said he was — shallow and unready for office. But if it takes five years for Conservative attack ads to work, the party might want to think about switching advertising firms.

My theory (admittedly based on anecdotes) is that some voters may be getting tired of hearing how good the Liberals say they are — all those boasts about how feminist they are, their brave resistance to racism, about how good and decent they are. It’s a government pitched 24-7 on earnest.

Add in voters perceiving (rightly or wrongly) that their bills are going up, their cost of living is increasing, and their children are encountering a precarious job market, and this is electoral poison for Trudeau.
 
The issue is the Conservative attack machine on Trudeau has only worked now as Trudeau has become what they said he is.

A man less suited to be Prime Minister and more of a student council President.

I regret voting for Trudeau. The main reasons why I voted for him (deficits to fund infrastructure and electoral reform) are a bust. The deficits are almost entirely social spending. No benefit to myself, or most of my family.

I don't like Scheer at all. I would have voted for Bernier with my eyes closed, but not for the right leaning version of Trudeau.

Guess I'm protest voting the communists this time around...
 
Thanks. There is too much "I heard that ...." these days with no credible source to back it up.

You might want to have a quick read of this instead:

Having regard for traditional knowledge isn't throwing scientific method out. The case of HMS Erebus & Terror is another good example:

My mistake. I confused ‘traditional Indigenous knowledge’ with knowledge informed by Indigenous spirtual beliefs, which are not historically verifiable, unlike Christianity, for example.
