the problem with that game plan is that Trump is changing the rules of the game
J.D Vance is not going to cut Canada a sweetheart deal
Please confirm the game plan Canada does not require Gavin Newsome of AOC to ride to our rescue?
They will both self destruct long before the next election

and the Canadian manufacturing jobs will have already been located south of the boarder
Bro, learn to recognize sarcasm :)

its not my responsibility to decipher poorly communicated messages

re: learning
Here you go

AI Overview


Sarcasm frequently fails online because it relies on non-verbal cues—such as vocal inflection, facial expressions, and body language—that are completely absent in written text
. When these signals are removed, sarcastic comments often appear sincere, leading to misinterpretation, offense, or confusion.

Will this be the end of Pollievre? Turned a lock win into a majority for the libs. Ate an apple when he should have been talking policy.

Maybe Con strategists will realize that the culture war stuff is good for clicks but bad for elections. That said: Trumps fascism may taint the conservative brand globally.
AI Overview

Based on reports from March 2026, Nunavut NDP MP
Lori Idlout crossed the floor to join Prime Minister Mark Carney's governing Liberal caucus, a move described by critics as a potential effort to help the Liberals achieve a majority government
what did it cost Carney?
Nothing
He used Tax payer dollars to overturn election results >>> close to half a billion $ for one seat in parliament


AI Overview
Context of Spending:
In the weeks leading up to this move, significant federal funding announcements for Nunavut were reported, including $8.5 million for linguistic education, $250 million for 750 homes, $600,000 for digital literacy, and $228 million for infrastructure projects.
this on top off
AI Overview
Aside from specific project announcements, Nunavut relies heavily on formulaic federal transfers that are not tied to an MP's party affiliation:
  • Territorial Formula Financing (TFF): The largest transfer, providing approximately $2.22 billion in 2025-26 as an unconditional payment to support public services.
  • Canada Community-Building Fund (CCBF): A permanent, indexed source providing over $18.7 million annually for local infrastructure.
did you get $333,333 tax dollars for a home ?
$250 MM/ 750

no, instead you just paid for homes in Nunavut

C'mon man, you are not a generation Twitter, you should not have to see a smiley face to recognize sarcasm :D 👴🤝. Do not be like Frankie 🥱. And speaking of Frankie: I no longer read the "Iran war" thread because all those Twitter reposts make me puke - why the hell do people do that, can't they speak for themselves?

its going to be hard for Carney to beat this kind of politicking.

Oh you mean make things fair? Hell no, we'll have no democracy over here.🤦‍♂️

She's so toxic the leader she moved over to killed himself in a plane crash 3 months later.
so you are self absorbed and do not give a rats ass what happens to Canada and your countrymen
Those that make poor life and education choices learn the hard way. Life is not fair, sorry heard that many times during Basic. It stuck.

So do you understand the purpose of electing MP's or no?

An MP's job is to represent their constituents. Would these funds have come to Nunavut if she didn't cross? Maybe. Is she doing an excellent job as an MP representing her constituents by bringing halv a billion dollars of invetment to her riding? Yeah.

You really should spend some time looking at A: A map and B: A history or civics text book. Canada is a parliamentary democracy, in the Westminster tradition. We elect MPs to represent our best interests. This ain't the USA, team politics is a lot less prevalent here, despite your and PP's efforts.

i agree that many make poor life and education choices
one of them being supporting the liberal party of Canada despite what the past 10 years has done to Canada
This is not the Liberal party of Jean and Paul

Far better than you do

An MP's job is to represent their constituents. Would these funds have come to Nunavut if she didn't cross?
No they would have gone to the next MP Mark Carney decided to bribe with your tax dollars

Again I will ask you did you get $333,333 in tax dollars for your house?

Maybe. Is she doing an excellent job as an MP representing her constituents by bringing halv a billion dollars of invetment to her riding? Yeah.
She misrepresented herself to her constituents who chose not to support the Liberals because of the absolute mess they had made for 10 years

You really should spend some time looking at A: A map and B: A history or civics text book. Canada is a parliamentary democracy, in the Westminster tradition. We elect MPs to represent our best interests. This ain't the USA, team politics is a lot less prevalent here, despite your and PP's efforts.
Civics includes ethics

If you had the first clue of ethics you would have been horrified by the election of Justin Trudeau because he had good looks and a famous last name .
It was obvious from day one he was a damn fool and he was going to spend irresponsibly
What was not obvious was how corrupt he and his party are
If you had the first clue of ethics you would have been horrified by the corruption of the current Liberal party and known a sound election defeat/ bashing for the liberals was required

Mark Carney bribes an MP to betray her constituents and her party with half a billion $ of Canadian taxpayer money and you speak of Civics ?

The Liberal Party of Canada should be renamed the COPC, the Corrupt Opportunist Party of Canada. They have no shame and exist to benefit career opportunist politicians in search of power. Carney is just another in the line of corrupt a-holes from that party. We criticize US politics but then we get a majority gov’t by stealth? What a Joke.

It’s sad that Canadians are primarily turning to the Liberals in a knee jerk reaction to Trump and US politics. It’s ironic because the party that truly stands for Canadian nationalism and values is the Conservative Party. We get what we vote for and most Canadian lemmings choose to be lead by these corrupt self serving people that are leading our country down the drain.

And as an aside, tell me dear socialists and liberal tree huggers, would it not be helpful to have another oil pipeline or LNG facility right now? The Strait of Hormuz would be a non issue we would be raking in the dough, not crying about gas prices and we could bribe the natives to boot!! Sorry for the extended rant!

Do I count the paved road, electricity and high speed internet that gets piped to my house (I'm rural, I don't have gas and I buy my own water)? If so, yeah, I got that much or more for my house. I also get way better access to services than any Nunivutian. As a Canadian, I want my fellowCanadians to have access to the quality of life that I do, and I do not begrudge them funding it, as I know my forebearers funded my lifestyle.

You say civics includes ethics. Did she do something that benefits her constituents at the cost of her personal standards? Does her crossing benefits Canadians as a whole? Both of these are subjective questions, but if more people benefit from her decision than are harmed by it, from a utilitarian POV, her decision is ethical. See, we agree on things sometimes.

I have never voted for Justin Trudeau. I do not live in Papineau. If I did, I would be likely to vote for him, because having my MP be PM would be maximally beneficial for me (An unethical take to be sure. Hypocrisy of the Left!?!?!). I can understand why the people of Papineau voted for him, and thus I can't be "horrified". Just like I can understand why the people of Carleton did not vote for PP, because he was not representing them.

You're likely to come back with "Canadians vote for the prime minister, even if they don't". This is an opinion you can have. It is an incorrect opinion, but you can have it.

As a contrary opinion: Let's say Mrs. Whatserface stayed with the NDP, and as a member of the NDP was whipped to vote against the interests of her constituents. Is this ethical? Is this the right thing to do? Again, subjective answer, but an MP's job is to make life better for their constituents. Her focus isn't on the average low IQ rural Albertan, it is on her constituents. There is a strong argument that her crossing improves life for her constituents. Hence, she is morally obligated to do it.

I thought they were talking about another election, is Carney still going to call it after having a majority?
