Just Not ready

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

Fucker is hellbent on getting us sued...
Settle down, Karen. Did I say I wrote it, ffs?

You have bigger things to worry about - like explaining your support for a shithead (Trumpy Poo) who is about to put thousands of your neighbors, countrymen, out of work.

Trudeau has ruled his cabinet with an iron fist with no tolerance for dissent.

His first Parlimentary House Leader, a smart black woman, resigned because it became obvious she was a token. Invited to accompany the PM to Ghana, and Obama state event ... but never involved in the actual event, just along as a black face on the trip. She could never get an appointment to see the PM. She resigned from the Liberals and sat as an independent and has made scathing comments about Trudeau - see he interview with Jordan Peterson.

His first Attorney General/Justice Minister, an Indigenous woman was forced to resign. Montreal based global construction firm and backer of the Liberal Party SNC-Lavalin (think Bechtel, Halliburton scale) was facing corruption charges in Canada over projects it managed in Quebec. They had already been convicted and much of the Board turfed over corruption involving international projects. One in Lybia where part of the bribery they wined and dined Qaddafi's son on a trip to Canada to the tune of +$2M including several $10K's for a night in The Swedish Touch brothel in Vancouver. Buried in an omnibus budget bill was a brief clause offering deferment if a company facing charges volunteered to pay a fine instead. Just as the case was set to hit the courts, Trudeau and his top staff began pestering the Justice Minister to allow SNC to voluntarily pay a fine instead of going to court. She would have no part in their political interference with the justice system. She lost her job, was given a junior portfolio but not before the slap in the face of being offered Indigious Services Ministry where she would be responsible for administering The Indian Act that is a reviled hold over of British Colonialism to all Natives. When the scandal broke and was investigated in committee, Trudeau's close confident/best man/campaign manager/secretary to the PM was forced to resign as was the head of the Privy Council (she taped one of his phone calls to her where he threatened her and said he was obligated to get back to the PM after the conversation). I have no idea how Trudeau survived that scandal. One other, very competent woman member of his cabinet was also turfed for aligning herself with the Justice Minister. The then Justice Minister has since written a book with nothing good to say about Trudeau.

The final straw was his Finance Minister resigning just before Christmas.

There was a mechanism put forward for Canadian political parties to manage their leadership and force out an unpopular Leader. The Conservatives signed onto it and have seen leadership change using that mechanism. The Liberal Party never signed onto the mechanism. They have no way to remove a leader who doesn't want to go.

What happened to Trudeau after his Finance Minister quit, much of his cabinet gave him an ultimatum. It was very much like Nancy, Chuck and Barack on Biden. Slowly word was leaking, the Maritime Province wing of the Party was against him staying, 51 Ontario ridings were against him staying. His poll numbers were tanking fast and large donors were balking if he stayed. The writing was on the wall. Trudeau went skiing over Christmas, complete radio silence and returned to announce he was going to resign once a new leader is elected and in the mean time he prorogued Parliament.

Their current Leadership campaign is open for voting by anyone 14 years of age and older, a Canadian citizen, Permanent Resident or First Nation member who signed up on the Liberal Party website before yesterday. No membership fee, click a few boxes and done. That is how our next Prime Minister is being elected. Bot, Bot, Moose.

News today that the weasel socialist running the NDP may use the threat of Trump's tariffs continue to prop up a new Liberal leader ... in the interest of the working man. Says the guy in the Bespoke suits, Rolex watches, Canada Down parka and riding around in his BMW/Maserati.

Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Yes you did.

By not adding the link + quotation marks you are presenting it as your words.

Note: Mëds assumed you wrote it and you chose not to correct him.

Last time you did the same with BCExpat.

This is the 3rd or 4th time you've done this, despite yours truly chastising you.

Why are you the only one here who can't seem to follow this simple procedure?

Mëds thinks...
And yet he’s orders of magnitude better equipped than the drama teacher we’ve had for the past 9 years.
He may be, but that's a low bar to rise above and it doesn't address the fact that his resume reeks of incompetence as compared to the person he will likely face off against in an election...

He looks as ready to lead the country as does his Shadow Cabinet...A Shadow Minister of Employments claim to fame is she owned the number 1 wine store in BC for 13 years...His Shadow finance minister was a home builder...His Shadow minister of housing is a former mayor...

It's hard to get to know the future Cabinet members because the Conservative website is whaky....I'd have fired my digital manager if they ran such a flawed site...

When you look at the lack of talent in the shadow cabinet its understandable that someone as unqualified as PP could become leader of the Party...

And this is the group you want to lead the country?

You suggested it yourself, not I. I said put the whistle away, you edited my post in a narcissistic manner suggesting otherwise.

Are you suggesting Carney has more than a three ring circus of cabinet level failures to choose from? Or are you looking deeper down the line up at those too dumb for even Trudeau to put in his cabinet?
