I definitely would select the Voluptuous option in total recall

[Cousin Strawberry]

Demure/aggressive/sleazy was the other interesting choice

[Strangelove]

PP's plan (still listed on the Conservative website) - was to remove the GST on new homes as well.

One of the earliest decisions by Carney is to limit government spending growth to 2% annually. Lower than inflation. So far so good.

Poilievre's plan was for all new homes. Carney was just for 1st time buyers. Carney has a government bureaucratic program with another identifiable group to divide us. Poilievre has a tax rebate.

Also Carney's 2% totally depends on what it is 2% of. If he means this year's budget is 2% higher than last year, that is not in alignment with his stated budget deficits and spending commitments

Helping 1st time buyers is a better point. People who already own, shouldn't need Gov. help to buy more (or another) new house. The idea is they already have the equity necessary. Try to help new buyers get into the market. Makes more sense to me.

If you think prices for services and procurement will only go up 2% in the coming year. Then I can't help you with this.

Cheesey can get a crib in Saskatchewan for 35 K. As long he has a case of Lucky, a Sheriff, a doctor/vet, somewhere to pedal his furs and the running water isn't too cloudy, he's happy hillbilly.

PP gets voted out by his own riding - and instead of accepting Canadians are tired of funding this guy's lifestyle, he decides to spend more taxpayers' money on a "bi-election" in a riding he doesn't have any connection to, removing a duly elected MP.

And people believe this fool cares about Government spending. Just look at his salary and expenses compared to his peers.

Yeah. I’m not a fan of the parachuting.

And the lack of connection…..lame…..none whatsoever outside of that he was born in Calgary, and U of C is his Alma mater. Weak.

Mid Mëds. Like saying Carney has a connection to the NWT.

Two decades away from AB. That's a life time for some voters.

I don't want my taxes to pay for some douche who his own riding decided against.

I am not a fan of parachute candidates either, but all major parties do it. I am more surprised that a 25 yr old kid would run in Carleton instead of a Western riding where it is way easier to win, and where he has deeper roots. I don't know the back story on how he picked Carleton, but it is probably an interesting look into how parties operate. Carleton has always been center or a bit left of center. And both redistribution and population growth , including tons of newly printed civil servants sway the demographics towards the left more.

Also, no MP was removed. He stepped down. Big difference. If the party was going to kick out a solid MP, they wouldn't do it 6 months before his pension kicks in.
This is just part of the same political game being played since the Magna Carta. I doubt it significantly changes anyone's opinion of Poilievre. Lovers love him a bit more, and haters hate him a bit more too.

Connection is connection.

I was born in Maple Ridge and lived in the LML until I was 14. When people ask, that's always where I "grew up".

Connection is subjective.

I'd say a guy who was born and raised in Calgary, spent the first 24 years of his life there, probably still has connections and roots in the city.

You may not like it, but it's true. So continue to bitch and moan about the guy.

Yeah. It's pretty rare for a guy to hold a riding for 20 years as a MP for a party that sits on the otherside of the typical political leaning. He didn't lose his riding because of the "fear of a Pierre-Trump bromance", he lost it because, as you say, newly printed civil servants relocating to the riding, some of whom probably would be part of the much needed fat trimming that Pollievre promised, got scared they would lose their comfortable government paycheques that they get every couple of weeks for doing next to nothing.....and the prospect of finding a similar level of employment is unpalatable because they are qualified for the type of employment that would pay them significantly less.

I agree wholeheartedly, and it starts with PP. He should and was part of that fat trimming, voted out. He isn't qualified for anything else that would pay him what he makes in Gov. He should have stepped down, allowed the Cons to find a better leader. That's what leadership looks like. Not running in a riding 1/2 way across the country.

Guy costs us more in taxes than 20 of the other Gov. employees combined and has done FAR less than all of them.

How you can defend this reckless spending is mind boggling.
