Why would Trudeau call a snap election if it wasn't looking good against him against O'Toole?
You're not making any sense.
And no Trump did not look good going into a Covid election. An election he tried to delay and block mail-in votes.

You are revising history.
Trudeau always had good polling numbers. The idea of him always being the underdog is false.

Yes, wasn't looking good in Canada as the budget was balanced and Canada was living within their means. Canadians are selfish and wanted more, and now the budgets are running $40-$50 billion annual deficits (in so called good times). Are Canadians happy with that, of course not, but they thought fiscal responsibility was a bad word, but they have finally "woke" up.
I read all the comments about it is the provinces that are the problem, whereby the Federal Government controls immigation. I would compare it to the tax laws and blaming the taxpayer for taking advantage of those tax laws to reduce their taxes and it is the taxpayers fault not the government. Please, the table setter creates the opportunity, and they are to blame, not those taking advantage of the situation. The immigration problem and how universities and other are taking advantage of it, is solely on the shoulders of the Liberals.
He is doing what he believes needs to be done not playing politics like your Pee Pee aka piss stain.
He should have added....
"...and we'll take in more immigrants than we can accommodate and when people blame me, I will blame the provinces and cities as I usually do.
I'll also neglect protecting our US border until Trump threatens to impose tariffs...and when that happens...I'll make it look like it's a top priority because I never banked on him winning the election and now I'm fucked."
Yes, what he believes now that Trump has won and made his threat. So he was just virtue signaling before.
You caught the bull by the tail. This was not about calling the elections in that response in the first place.
You as usual interject with no common sense!!
What are you waffling about. It was once again in response to this Following post.You are revising history.

So what has it got to do with "history"!!
During the Pandemic, the Federal Government had to come to the aid of all the provinces, when they shut down their economies!!
The USA and EU Nations also had the same issue. Down South the previous Trump regime ballooned the deficit. The UK Government did so likewise, and all of them were booted out of office in their elections that followed!!
How about Doug Ford and all the Conservatives that complained about the previous Provincial Liberal Govt's deficits. Yet Doug Ford has far exceeded that deficit by a mile!!
Are you going to hold all of them to the same account?
The previous Federal Conservatives Govt. inherited a healthy surplus when they took office, with a booming economy unlike our neighbours down South. Yet the Conservative Gov left office with the Nation still in a recession. The Canadians decided that they had enough, and voted them out in 2016. This is no different now, and nothing to do with waking up!!
You are just a liar.
When Poilievre wins, you will have a heart attack.
Not sure why you're talking about the pandemic, I am talking about all the other years. Trudeau was handed a balance budget, albeit with low growth, but not a recession. Since then, (and forget about the pandemic years, which I accept), the annual deficit has been $30 to $50 billion almost each year. And we are talking about the Feds, so not sure why you want to bring Dougie into the topic, but I don't like his fiscal responsbility either. People have woken up that his fiscal and other policies have been devasting for the average Canadian. I guess you believed the budget will balance itself, just like your idol.
If you hadn't noticed, he believes the past decade didn't happen. And the 15 years that the Liberals were in power before Ford didn't happen either.
He has somehow convinced himself that the world-record setting debt the Libs left the province magically vanished the day Ford took office and he started at zero.
Scary there are people like him out there.
The previous federal Conservatives had to deal with a global financial meltdown and still managed to get Canada through it successfully.
Ford had to deal with the pandemic halfway into his first term and then won a second majority in 2022 as the world was crawling out of the pandemic.
Ford inherited world-record setting debt from the Liberals in 2018 after 15 years of their reckless spending and poor fiscal management. He didn't start at zero.
Stop spreading misinformation and conveniently leaving out facts that don't jive with your narrative. You are predictable and everyone knows your tactics.
He claims to be a beaver hunter, but with his head stuck up his a**, no chance of success.

Balanced budget you say, hmmm interesting, let's see keeping in mind, Harper did not have to deal with a new virus causing a pandemic.
Economic performance and policy during the Harper years - Policy Options
This is an expanded version of a chapter in The Harper Factor: Assessing a Prime Minister’s Policy Legacy, edited by Jennifer Ditchburn and Graham Fox.
policyoptions.irpp.org
" Contributing effectively to stabilization with discretionary fiscal policy is a difficult task. The federal government ran an overly expansionary discretionary policy in 2006 and 2007, a fortuitously but appropriately expansionary policy in 2008 and an appropriately very expansionary policy in 2009-10. Because it was too focused on reducing deficit over 2011-15, its policy contributed to an unnecessarily slow, rather muted recovery in Canada. "
" With the exception of 2009-10, the Harper government underspent on infrastructure, thereby constraining future growth. Policy on development of the oil sands and related environment policies fostered unbalanced growth over the last decade. "
" In our own judgment, after 2010 the Harper government unduly sacrificed growth in order to improve a debt position that was already solid. "
Yeah he only had to deal with a global financial crisis between 2007-2009...the most severe worldwide economic crisis since the Great Depression in 1929.
No biggie eh?
Want to keep making excuses for sock boy?
