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.

Three days and he hasn't come out of his shell. This is Trudeau's playbook when shit hits the fan. It is the same thing Justin did when Freeland quit. He went on vacation and did not speak to Canadians for two weeks.

In the meantime he has a meme thread on X making fun of him that is going viral. #carneylies

Is this his crisis management experience in action that he is telling us about.
He gave the Liberals a "new leader bump" in the polls, but he is showing everyone who he truly is. I think once we get into an election campaign, his popularity will wane even further. I can't wait until he debates PP.

There is a clip circulating of Pierre grilling Carney when Mark testified at committee. He attacks him on his opposition to Canadian pipelines while Brookfield was buying into international pipelines.

Carney went off on a global geopolitical petrochemical tangent that could only be interpreted as NIMBY.

It is telling that the three other contenders for the leadership are silent on Carney's lies. This is the opening and their silence only exemplifies that the fix is in.

Trudeau's average weekly grocery bill over a two year period, $1,515.

Canadian average is $300.

National Post reporting Carney is still on the boards of at least five organizations despite saying he has resigned from all on Jan 15.

Did you forget Poilievre trying to pin the oil price collapse of 2014 on Trudeau who wasn't elected until November of 2015?
Rikster, I went looking for this. Do you have a link? While I blew past this comment earlier, I would like to see what he said, as I do not remember this.

Not sure if you can pull up the article as its behind a paywall, but give it a try;

https://www.nationalobserver.com/2024/1 ... nformation

From the article;
For a guy who likes to invoke George Orwell, Pierre Poilievre doesn’t seem to have paid very close attention to what he actually wrote. His willingness to weaponize obvious misinformation, like a chart he shared on social media suggesting Justin Trudeau was elected in late 2014 (rather than late 2015), is reminiscent of one of the most famous lines from 1984. “The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

The idea that Justin Trudeau’s election in late 2015 is somehow responsible for the economic impact of the massive collapse in oil prices that happened a year earlier — and was driven by a decision made in Saudi Arabia — is a pretty obvious example of spurious correlation, and one Conservatives have been trading in for years now. But sharing a chart that falsely indicates Trudeau was elected in late 2014, as Poilievre did, is a whole different level of deceit. The fact that he did it more than once, despite being called out for the obvious falsehood, shows just how little he cares about the truth.
When looking for the article came across this bit of information which I hadn't realized;

Wonder how PP can afford both rental houses on a government paycheck?

Trudeau's overspending is real.

Unlike Carney's resume.

The point of a rental house is that it pays for itself.

Seems hypocritical to be attacking the Government for a housing crisis when you are contributing to it..

btw, I have no issues with owning investment property as I purchased my first investment property over 30 years ago and have many in that time..

And no, not all were self supporting...

Owning a rental property doesn't necessarily contribute to the housing crisis so long as it is rented out to local citizens. There are plenty of people who either don't want to buy, or cannot qualify for a mortgage.

Nothing wrong with owning rental property and in should be encouraged for our empty nest or retiring professionals and business people. It makes affordable homes available to those who can't or chose not to buy. It is unfortunate that here in BC the government has regulated that ownership class out of the market.
