Poll: Who gets your vote

[Skoob]

I did not expect detailed policy at this time which is why I said in post #128 about waiting for more details of PP's policy.

You replied to post 128 which lead you to post the CPC book of affirmations, when I pointed out it was fluff you then blame me for expecting detailed policy at this time.

Is it really that difficult to discern what their published policies will most likely translate into as far as final bills, direction, etc?
Is it not better to assume that the current government's track record is one that requires them to be booted from office? If the answer is yes, then it's really a choice of which party's ideologies you align with.
Any party can lay out policies, promises and goals in advance of an election...it's what they actually do once elected that is the real measure.

Yes, they posted impossible fluff.
Cut taxes, spend more and no deficits ever again.

Only an idiot thinks that can happen and wouldn't ask to see how they think its going to happen.

You mean like how the budget will balance itself? Or "stretch goals"?

 

[Skoob]

Then you are saying, "I will do the opposite of what Trudeau did" is a convincing argument. I dont think so. That is why I ask for specificity.

You won't get anything specific and super detailed from anyone. You can only judge the track record of the current government and then based on high level details, you make a decision as to replacing them or not.

No one will give you a detailed plan until they are in office and actually pass it through legislation, etc. You will only get promises and goals before then.

So if you're waiting for a detailed plan to make you decision, that is the wrong approach.

 

[Skoob]

Well it does not have to be legislation level detail but it certainly has to be more than just rhetoric. What PP has right now, is rhetoric that sounds good to people who are dissatisfied, but there is no indication of what his actual policies would look like.

So vote for him and see...what can I tell you?
Unless you're very satisfied with the current government then keep them in power.
It's not difficult really.

So you're now saying backing PeePee's plans are as stupid as you think backing Trudeau's plans are?

Nah, its the NDP's turn now.

 

[Skoob]

Nah, its the NDP's turn now.

Ha! That's a good one!
btw they had their turn (in Ontario). Ever wonder why they never had another turn?
That's how bad they were.

btw must be a pain for you being forced to support and defend Trudeau all these years, when you're really an NDPer. How have you coped? Serious question.

 

[K Douglas]

are you really that slow

the whole thread is about voting for the federal party

PC got 41 votes

Libs got 13

that is more than 3 to 1

and you voted for NDP which got only 5 votes

that's 8.2% of votes

that's like less than 10 %

so if there were 10 guys NDP wouldn't even be 1 guy

it would be like a really small guy

You do realize that lefties are averse to math and statistics. Some of them think its racist.

 

[K Douglas]

Based on that criteria why not vote for NDP or the Green Party?

Because they would follow the same path of the Liberals but on a worse scale. Their policies would turn Canada into Venezuela.

That's why I identify as Math/Statistics so they respect me more.

Marit Stiles has a good chance in Ontario.
DoFo is the worst PM in Ontario's history.

An ndp/lib minority is always the best choice.

That's the funniest thing you've ever said!
You fail math and stats on every thread here.

Every single time you've made a fool of yourself.

Marit Stiles is Andrea Horwath 2.0 with her nails-on-chalkboard approach. No one takes her seriously. I wouldn't be too confident there comrade.

On the flip side, DoFo winning back to back majorities shows that he's actually one of the best premiers ever.

And by your measure, since you are in the minority, there is something wrong with you.

DoFo is a failure on every file.

The majority of people disagree with you.
By your measure that means you are wrong.

57% support the libs, ndp and greens in Ontario.
I am the majority representative here.

Aside from the fact that the Liberals were in power federally for 13 years between 1993-2006, there was plenty of time and opportunity to change the decision made in 1987 if they wanted to. But I digress.

However, I would tend to agree with her point:
“The other thing we need to look at is what the housing prices are in rural and remote communities versus urban areas and how we can encourage people to move around. We learned during the pandemic that everybody doesn't have to live in downtown Toronto,” she said.

Too many decisions are made based on the needs of downtown Toronto and not the rest of the province. Not everyone can ride a scooter to work and believe it or not, there are indeed automobiles still using roads. Crazy right?

Obviously, if you travel across the pond, there you will see an intensive transport system in cities like Paris and London. You barely need a car to travel around and even in remote areas they are well connected by underground lines and rails and trams. Canada over the decades had that ability to have a more extensive transport system. But recently, all we are seeing are attempts to add more highways rather than a public transport system. Yes, urban areas around the Globe will always have higher prices than rural areas. A common occurrence!!

No fan of Ford but Kathleen Wynne and Bob Rae were infinitely worse than him.
