I am a nationalist and shit on multiculturalism, so you would be very mistaken to assume that virtue signalling is somewhere on my agenda, lol.

I'm not talking about you specifically, I'm talking about the average climate change nut, because I talk to a lot of these people in person and that's the main thing I see.

Trudeau dick-tucked because he's going to get bukkake'd in every debate. It's going to be very unpleasant because he's taking fire from not only the right, but the left as well (Singh and May). And he knows this. I suspect Scheer is going to make MAJOR headway in these debates.

Unfortunately, I don't think it matters how well Scheer does in the debates or how many times Trudeau dick-tucks most people already have their minds made up. You have to be a special kind of retard to vote for Trudeau after such buffoonery from him, but a large part of Canada is radically anti-Conservative and truly believes Scheer is literally Hitler. They believe the day Scheer is elected he is going to be bringing out the trains and loading up gays, trannies, people of colour and women who have had abortions and shipping them off to concentration camps.

I will be voting for Scheer. I am very tempted to vote for PPC, but I cannot do it if it means giving Trudeau a chance to win again.

True but I wonder how many of those "OMG SCHEER IS A NAZI" types will vote NDP or Greens instead of TruD'oh.

I also think there's still a big layer of "undecided" out there, people who don't really subscribe to either party, and people who think "well I don't like Trudeau, but I don't know anything about Andrew Scheer." I think Andrew can reach these people with strong showings in the debates.

There is a lot of talk about Bernier splitting the Conservative vote, but it seems like the chance is higher that the Greens and NDP will take more votes from the liberals.

Yeah especially with them leaving Bernier out of the debates - which I think is bullshit but whatever.

I'm in a riding where the Libs pretty much have a guaranteed win (hope I'm wrong) so I think I'm going to go PPC for the lulz

But China is more than 18x our population. We are, per capital, a huge part of the problem and I dont feel good about that. Also, I think that being one of the better country in this world, we should lead by example.

I wonder how much of that can be traced to cold climate conditions and the fact heating is mandatory for a large part of the year. I bet if you adjusted for it, Canada and Russia are actually much smaller offenders than the naked number suggests. When you look at the number for China for example, you know heating plays little to no part. Meanwhile we're having to expend energy to fight -20 C weather, every day, for months...

Per capita doesn't really matter either, in the sense that this is a team effort. Look at Germany, they've spent an absolutely ludicrous amount of money on renewable energy and technology development. Roughly €25 billion a year. A thing they could only get away with because their economy is going well. What is there to show for it? Nothing. Because they're roughly 2% of global emissions.

As long as big offenders don't do anything, it's pointless. And I reckon the only way to make these players do something is through international economic pressure. But I don't think people will believe climate change is real until they see clear, visible signs e.g. coastal cities getting swallowed up. When that happens, I think countries will finally come together as a bloc and exert pressure on the big offenders.

I think that educated people around the world believe that climate change is real. The problem is essentially uneducated Murrcans and Chinese (and in one generation, uneducated Indians). But while these may or may not educate themselves, awareness is growing with social media and global activism is increasingly a thing (for better or worse). Corporate Social Resonsibility in increasingly a thing (again, eh, for better or worse).

The days are not going to last forever where consumers and politicians are giving multinationals a pass on polluting like crazy just because they run these bullshit PR campaigns like "plant a tree for every car sold" or "we are supporting gays in the workplace even if 17% of our shareholders are fucking Golf-countries where homosexuality is punishable by death".

Trudeau: No questions please, I’m campaigning

Look who’s not talking: Speaking of leaders not speaking, it’s not gone unnoticed that since the election campaign got underway, Justin Trudeau has excelled at not answering many questions about his policies and promises. It wasn’t just his decision to skip the first English-language debate. Consider the weekend: Trudeau spent Saturday shaking hands and taking in a rodeo in Quebec and then traveled to Ontario to chum it up with tennis star Bianca Andreescu, all of it without taking questions from reporters.

Scheer isn't the greatest candidate but he's miles ahead of shitdick Trudeau, numbnuts Singh, and dumbfuck May.

If you ain't voting PC, you can eat my ass AND balls, f--got.

You fit right in with scheer and his crew with that talk!!!!

Scheer again seen hanging with far right bigots. Dude is done!

Says the guy with an av of a pro wrestler making a dick sucking gesture at a man in the crowd, insinuating that he's gay. Oh the irony! lol

There had to be a better choice for pc than Scheer.

Trudeau has another term.

Tactic worked wonders for DoFo, I can see why he's using it.

Even more so with Mad Max and the sad band of bigots.

Considering how retarded and uninformed the average voter is and how crazy people go over celebrities, Trudeau's tactic probably will work. Rub elbows with celebrities, pose in a few women's magazines, appear on a couple of talk-shows and Trudeau's got the election in the bag.

CBC:

Maxime Bernier invited to participate in official commission debates

The official Leaders' Debates Commission has decided to invite Maxime Bernier, leader of the People's Party of Canada, to participate in the English and French debates that will be televised next month.


Not all debate participants were happy to see Bernier join them.

"As we shared with the Leader's Debate commissioner, we still think that giving Maxime Bernier a national platform to spread hate and division in our country is wrong," Melanie Richer, the NDP's director of communications, said in a media statement. The NDP made a submission to the commissioner in July that raised concerns about Bernier's political views.



Bernier and the People's Party have nominated candidates for more than 90 per cent of the country's 338 ridings, but the party has not yet elected an MP under its banner (Bernier was elected as a Conservative MP in 2015).

These people are fucking delusional. It's her stealthy little way of saying "we don't like intellectual diversity so we are going to cover our tracks and call them racists and bunch of bigots."

 

[JoshR86]

Can someone give an American a 2 sentence summary of the Canadian parties and their accronyms so that I can try to follow along?

Simple.

Liberal spending party

Conservating spending party (neo cons are now just the liberals with a different spending agenda, although not anywhere near as bad)

NDP = Socialist spending party (there our Bernie, except we already have free health care and education)

PPC = Stop government from spending your money party

Voting PPC this year myself

It's a wasted vote my friend. If you're in a competitive riding where it can go to either Trudeau or Scheer, you'll be helping Trudeau get a seat if you were going to vote for the CPC. Taking votes or even a single seat from the Conservative party of Canada could give the Liberals the victory.

The Conservatives need all the support they can get since they're practically neck and neck with the liberals.

The Liberals have really stacked the deck for this election. The most shady, vile and corrupt party Canada has ever seen and Liberal voters really aren't any different.

The LPC needs a naive and brainwashed population to vote for them.

Except the CPC is the same as Libs, just with an oil agenda, i live in montreal, so at the very least Trudeau spoils Quebec.

I don't support the direction the CPC has taken since Harper, i dont like buying votes through cash incentives through our tax $$$, its the same shit with a different party logo and different votinf recipient's.

Rather vote with my conscious while atleast this way can sit back and watch the country run to shit with social programs for every different demographic with a vote.
