    1. @C777 xoxo As if the only choice we have is betweenTrudeau or Bernier. Yeah ok. Not a liberal voter here, so I don’t know what your point is.

  1. no question the Liberals will be voted in , a broadcaster of colour ,hell look at the deputy prime minister ,she’s a broadcaster.

    1. @Hayden Brouhaha Your wrong lot’s of ex liberals did and will be voting for PPC. Ex conservatives are voting for PPC too. Trudeau is now a known liar and thief. He rigged the last election, you can call him a cheater too. Who are you preserving out of the corrupt parties

    2. @linda weller What is your definition of “lots”? Why don’t we revisit this conversation after the vote is over? You guys make a lot of noise trolling online. But that’s about it. Bernier will lose in a humiliating landslide.

    3. @Mikey Smokes Uuuhhh…no comparison. Dirtbag Doug was a snake BEFORE he was elected. His own brother called him a commie.

    4. @Hayden Brouhaha I didn’t realize wanting less immigrants is considered racist. I must be the biggest racist, seeing as I want less of them, as the housing market is already ridiculous. I guess wanting to own a home one day is considered bigoted.

    5. @linda weller Looking like your pal Max Bernier is pulling in a whopping 4% of the vote. Congrats! I have to say though, he is doing better than I expected. lol.

  2. Freedom of speech
    Freedom to walk in the park.
    Freedom to go shopping.
    Some of the things that we don’t have anymore.

    1. Huh? You’re free to walk in the park. You’re free to go shopping (yes, you have to wear a mask). Who is restricting your speech? You right wingers are perpetual victims. My gosh, whine whine whine about invisible enemies.

    2. intelligence has also been obviously lost.
      well you never had that anyway so at least you didnt lose that

    1. @Fight Climate Change What kind of gear do you wear while fighting climate change? Do you have a magic wand and the ability to direct the sun’s light away from the earth?

    2. Welcome to “fairness”. It’s only fair when the other side is silenced and guilted into submission. And they praise “tolerance”… So “tolerance” means shut up and do what the other side tells you and like it…

  3. One riding, thirty years held by a single party? Wow. Such uniformity of thought. Reminds me of a joke about “Montreal” meaning “the place where the river narrows” and “Toronto” meaning “the place where the mind narrows”.

    1. @Jim Trainor My point was, in many parts of Alberta, you can slap a Conservative logo on a bale of hay and it would win an election. (Foothills) Which is perfectly fine. I was drawing a parallel to the comment about certain Toronto areas always voting Liberal. Also I’m not sure “always flipped and flopped” is an accurate description for Alberta, where they voted for a non Conservative party once in like 50 years. N.B. on the other hand flips and flops, so no party can take them for granted.

    2. @Fight Climate Change I see. So we can conclude that Toronto Center and parts of Alberta are a lot closer insofar as rigidity of mind is concerned than we would have imagined on the surface. I don’t have any Alberta jokes on hand, unfortunately. p.s. I didn’t write “always flipped flopped”. I wrote “has flipped flopped”.

    3. @Jim Trainor you think all we only se 1 clour just manitoba and sashchewan blue volur unlike with where they oragane and reds

    4. Only in regards to consistent voting. What they actually believe in are worlds apart, based on age, jobs, education, multiculturalism, economics, geography, etc. Again, that’s OK.
