Speaking of which, apparently the Toronto Star reported that Andrew Scheer met with SNC-Lavalin CEO Neil Bruce in May 29, 2018 to discuss the deferred prosecution agreement, and the Federal Ethics Commissioner launched an inquiry into allegations of political interference.

That explains why this thread can't stay alive for more than a day after I posted it.

I agree, except for the bit about socialism. They could stand to have more, as far as I'm concerned. Then again, that would just make them even more indistinguishable from the NDP.Shrillland wrote:Wow....I knew Trudeau was in bad shape but I didn't realise it was this bad...goes to show, really.

I really never hear much about Australia, tbh. We've been having trade with Canada get into the news more lately.

Yeah, but there's also three byelections on the same day in a couple of weeks, especially in Burnaby South where the NDP leader is contesting, so I would have expected something in terms of that, or in the old NDP leader's seat of Outremont.

And that vote will be for Bernier's People's Party of Canada. I can't bring myself to support the liberals or the NDP, if anything mainly because of the bullshit carbon tax that will do jack shit but take more money out of my pockets (I will not use any of my 3 vehicles any less, and neither will likely >95% of other vehicle owners, either).
And I can't bring myself to support Scheer's Conservative over the whole supply managment ordeal.
EDIT: I'll actually be able to vote in the Burnaby South by-election in a little over a month, aswell.

Wait so can you vote in time for the by-election, because it is on the 25th of this month?

So he's being corrupt and violating federal ethics. Either way it's hurting him and his government. I still think he will be in power come October but with either a reduced majority or in a minority government.

Well, the Liberals did manage to survive Sponsorgate 15 years ago, at least at first, but I'm not sure that Trudeau is made from the same stuff that Chretien is or even his father was. He was already slumping and nearly equal with Scheer in the polls before this, I'm thinking we could see a Conservative Minority government ere all is over.

And yet in the polls, the Liberals are ahead withing about 4 points or less, and sometimes more. I see like 1 or two polls where the conservatives are ahead, and everything else the Liberals are ahead. If the Liberals underperform in the three byelections in the next couple of weeks, i.e. they don't win Outremont or Burnaby South, (Let's be real York-Simcoe is staying conservative, then again Canadian politics are weird and massive changes happen more often than need be) it could hurt the Liberals more, help the NDP and maybe the Tories and PPC.

How do we know this? Because the first step toward Communism is Socialism, and none of the aforementioned are even remotely Socialist in any way, shape, or form.

I admire many aspects of his platform, but damn, with the NDP, it's just one step forward and four steps backwards in regards to communicating to voters.
I can easily foresee a Liberal minority government, hanging on by a thread, come October. In that scenario, I could also see the NDP's share of seats knocked down substantially, and the Greens perhaps gaining a seat or even two/three. As for the PPC, god, they're dead in the water. 1-2% in every poll? I'm no fan of the PPC by any definition, but jesus, I thought they'd be at least polling near 5% at this point.
