On Quebec bashing - Zoupa, Grey Fox - just to make sure I'm clear on where you're coming from.

While folks often use Quebecs secularism laws as a bludgeon for Quebec bashing, it is possible to make good faith arguments that those laws are in fact racist without bashing Quebec, yes?


"Tell Mr Singh, can you explain why terrorism is so popular among the Sikh and Muslim communities?".

Sure, it can be debated...

Despite Jagmeet Singh's appearance at a pro-Khalistan rally in 2015 where posters and banners of a Sikh terrorist were displayed, Singh has been quite vocal that he is opposed to terrorism in all forms and that should be good enough for everyone.

sure.  But it's the way you frame questions that matters.

It's getting close in my oshawa riding, currently held by CPC's Colin Carrie.  PPC have definately made a dent there. Wish more Liberal voters think strategically

I was watching a Botez Twitch stream the other day, and Andrea Botez was taking part in a game with other streamers and Jagmeet Singh.  Jagmeet seems like a cool dude.  I don't know what he stands for, but he'll have my vote after I move to Canada in 2025.

He's in the North American social democrat space, more or less, which makes him anywhere from "imminently sensible" through "hopelessly naive" to "a danger to society" depending on where you stand.

They're sitting at roughly 20% of the national vote, with potentially 10-15% of the seats in parliament. The best case for them - which is very possible - is for the NDP to get enough seats that the Liberals need them (and only them) to govern. In this case, the NDP could potentially influence policy somewhat.

Other scenarios include the Libs getting a majority, the Libs needing the NDP and the BQ (the Quebec party) to govern, and - of course - the Conservatives winning.

He's borderline communist and he has a chip on his shoulder due to the racism he suffered growing up.  Any white person disagreeing with him is a racist, and visible minorities have no fault, they are all victims, regardless of their status.  Basically, he's slightly to the left of AOC.  He has shown a total lack of respect for French Canadians and Quebecers, despite spending a part of his life in Montreal, and he constantly proposes for the Federal govt to intervene in provincial jurisdictions.  On this, he's a clone of Justin Trudeau, hence why he was willing to go with him despite the clear evidence of corruption and parliamentary obstruction.  Just like any other leftist, he'll sell his soul to the devil if that brings him closer to a socialist Canada.
