The orange man child is toxic. Virtually radioactive. Cannot understand why everyone with a functioning brain cell doesn't absolutely flee (I talk breaking into a full on sprint) - on sight!

One thing about Trump is that like a typical bully, he wilts in the face of true resistance.

I listen to CBC radio a lot and try to keep up with their politics and I was worried about Polievre, so the timing of this is spot on.

He says nothing has ever brought the country together like our idiot president.

even if we are suffering.

I am a bit confused Pluvious, it appears to me the blue line on your link graph refers to the Conservative party while the red line refers to the LPC party which you say is the liberal party.
Is this so or am I reading it wrong?
Yegads if so, this is of course diametrically opposite to our political color code.

Spent two months in Quebec in 2017 summer, trois riviere mostly, trump elected inspired.
Did not go to Canada to escape Vietnam era service but an undereducated corrupt obnoxious political punk did the trick.
Long live Mark Carney.

And BTW, I would not describe the Conservative leader as "far right" by any stretch.

He'll be right up licking Rump's taint with Eloon if he wins the next election.

I did not claim your conservatives were in step with our American governmental right wing cretinism. Only meant the color code diametrically opposite. I have been well aware of your stated position for decades, more so with regards to Britain anyway.
I view Canada's conservatives as being about a center right American politician. The same with British Tories. What you say?
I may be wrong but I cannot see one single British Tory MP wanting to allow assault rifles legal in Britain, do you? What about Canadian MPs? Some might want to allow handguns legal but less to carry concealed, eh?
How about climate change deniers? Any MPs in Britain or Canada? Abortion rights (this one I am unsure so much).

The U.S. colors became fixed during the 2000 recount TV coverage.

I wouldn't be surprised. He has the template for spewing misinformation and influencing hosers. The template can work in any number of places. I assume it's low cost, high reward.

I truly hope the Liberals pull this out, but I'm cautious. It looked good for Vice President Harris at first too.

..Just thinking..

fascist needs to end.

The causes are myriad, with Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre losing two of his biggest targets – Justin Trudeau and the carbon tax – and U.S. President Donald Trump generating a wave of Canadian pride and nationalism with tariff and annexation threats. Over this three-month period Liberal support has jumped 30 points in the city of Toronto, 25 points!

Time will tell.

They will stop at nothing to get what they want.

I love Canada. My Grandmother, my mother's mother and her family were French Canadian. I applaud their patience and resistance, regarding the orange plague. They are the salt of the earth.

they did a left turn, and just in time. DO NOT support any politician who aligns with Trump in any way.

So, technically, I'm Canadian. It's where I'm heading, if we don't Dump Trump.

No politician should be "for life" for the good of everyone and their own well-being. Serving the populace takes it out of you.

And the materials I've seen don't generally say that. They say he went to Harvard on a partial scholarship and financial aid and played hockey. They may phrase it in a way that implies the scholarship was for hockey, but the ivies don't do that. No athletics scholarships at any of the ivies.

Most likely, the scholarship was a needs-based grant. Those are very common at the ivies it's so expensive and they have huge endowments.

Now, it's possible that an outside booster provided a scholarship, but the ivies discourage that, they might even ban it. Most likely, though, it was needs-based.

The soonest they could schedule it. (According to CBC.)

The man is smart and highly engaging. He's managed to position himself as an outsider. Though he's worked consistently around government in banking and finance with appointments (Governor to the Bank of Canada and Governor to the Bank of England) he had not been directly involved in electoral politics until recently. Well respected and personally popular, Carney is an excellent foil to the likes of Pierre Poilievre and his Maple Leaf Magats.

Right man in the right place at the right time. He's also been benefited by Canadian disgust with all things Trump. Rightly so.

Godspeed!

I'm sure there are good and noble reasons for them (hah), but they certainly would seem to be an impediment to trade.

Thought of a good fight song for Canadians at their sporting events:

Sung to tune of Rule Brittania

Rule Canadians, Canadians rule the Bays.
Cana da, never never never, shall be a state.

Cana da spelled thus to separate Cana in first high note, from da in second descending note in the tune.

Rule Brittania, Brittania rules the waves.
Britons never never never, shall be slaves.
