Predicting Bernard Lord announcing his leadership bid within the coming months. #NewBrunswickProblems quote:May is really terrible, Dion would be far better Dion, Garneau and Goodale are basically guaranteed ministry at this point. They're all well-established, intelligent, and reasonably well-liked.

Dion in the environment minister's post would actually soothe the sting of this loss a lot and seriously improve my outlook on how the Liberals will govern. I do wonder how much of a purge they went through after the iggy fiasco, Dion and his support are definitely more on the leftist side ofbthe aisle than the right, if they get given a some voice it's a good sign Time will tell e; pass this along to your overlords bunny, Cangoons want Dion as Environment Minister

I've seen Goodale as deputy PM, Brison as finance. Also expect Jody Wilson-Raybould to get something, and I mean you could probably do McGuinty as the environment minister. They've got 8 aboriginal candidates (including Jody) and you have to imagine at least 2 will get a spot in cabinet. I'm really curious to see the cabinet they choose.

We'll see how that works out.

Ron Paul Atreides posted:Wait Justin took this whole principled stand against the senate is he just gonna leave posts vacant until it's empty While the Senate riles people up I also think it's kind of like "Balanced Budgets". The issue is less the specific policy and more what it represents to voters (in the case of balanced budgets I think what voters here is 'small government', in the case of the Senate they hear 'corruption, inside access, arrogance'). People were pissed about corruption and the senate was a good symbol of government corruption (especially in the broader sense, not just of legal corruption, but rather moral corruption) but I strongly doubt that very many Canadians actually have any interest on a constitutional debate. Harper's very hypocritical behaviour regarding the Senate got people angry but I doubt there will be much pressure to actually reform anything now that Harper is gone. Most people have bigger priorities. If Trudeau's policies become unpopular or if we get some highly publicised spending scandals by Liberals then maybe the Senate will re-emerge as an issue, but mostly I think its a proxy for voter frustration at Ottawa and not actually something most voters care about as much as they claim to.

I decided to dig into Vibrant Victoria to get some con tears and general insanity. "I'm looking forward to Trudeau's first meeting with a world leader. Will he hold his own? Will he garner respect? Will he adequately represent Canada on the world stage? Love him or hate him, Harper was a phenomenal leader on the world stage. He commanded respect. If you can put your bias aside for just a moment perhaps you'll recognize that he was a highly respected leader on the world stage. He was a good speaker, he commanded respect. Whether or not you agreed with him or supported his party doesn't change how he represented Canada. " "The Liberals balanced the budget with higher personal and corporate income taxes not to mention a 7% GST and by absolutely gutting the military. Harper balanced the budget with the lowest taxation levels since WW2. I thank him for that!" "Agreed. The TFSA is a wonderful thing. It's not tremendously difficult for someone to put away $5k per year, even on a tighter budget. Rolling it back is a lame move that Trudeau may very well reconsider when his supporters start raising a stink." Yeah average canadian's just stashing away 5k a year no problem. Overall vibrant victoria wasn't too bad, I was hoping for more

If we're depending on the media to keep the new government in line, I've got a bridge to nowhere to sell to you. Canadian media bias makes Fox News look balanced. quote:The Globe and Mail has spent the whole day effectively publishing brochures of Trudeau's promises. It's beyond ridiculous. The CBC didn't even bother to hide their bias and contempt last night. They shrugged, they mocked and the laughed and not just at the CPC but the NDP as well. It's a one party country in general and now we've entered a de facto dictatorship period backed by the media. If you have a differing opinion, sit on it. Facebook CPC crazies They have branched off the conversation into a new thread void of differing opinions so they can press like on each others strawman to their hearts content
