[Canada] Canadian Politics Redux

[Barrister]

Unlike Trump, he's better than all other alternative.

What do you have against Andrew Scheer?

[Grey Fox]

Surprisingly a lot for someone who only had the job a couple of weeks.

Abortion, same-sex marriage, home schooling, marijuana legalization, tough on crime, the Khadr reaction.

Shit, everything you must like about him I dislike.

and imho, people who never lived in Canada shouldn't get to keep their citizenship and all the protection it entails. 

So if I had a child, he can't be a citizen?   

Imho, citizenship should be stripped for people committing serious crime, like siding with the Chinese govt instead of the pro-democracy protestors. 

Do they take away your citizenship in Canada for using the wrong gender pronoun?  Is that a serious enough crime up there?

We're still debating that one.  Apparently, it's wrong to indicate your children that they are a "boy" or a "girl" and you should use gender neutral pronom.  Give us 20 years of Liberal rule, and that will be a serious offense to use he/she.

What has he done on abortion and same-sex marriage and home schooling that you dislike?

Tough crime, sure, but you'll be the first one to flee a crime ridden area.  My friend is like you.  But unfortunately, he can't manage to sell his house in leave Longueuil for a better neighbourhood so he has to resort to sending his daughters to a private school further away.

Wouldn't it be better to reduce crime than have poor poeple living in high criminality areas?

Marijuana legalization is another ploy by Trudeau to hurt the provinces.  Do you seriously think the Hell's Angels will go broke after legalization?  I can tell you for a fact they've been preparing for that eventuality since a while.   And there are, lik, one million other drugs of all kind available illegally.

The Kadhr reaction as right on point.  Exactly what I expect from a true leader, not a moron.  If Trudeau was so proud, why do it in secret?  Why wait while he's 6000km away?

You mean pack poor people into prisons.

[Valmy]

I hear prisons are full of convicted felons

Against, against, for.

I always tell witnesses to hang on to their valuables in court because the building is literally full of criminals.

I don't understand people like you.  Scheer and the Conservatives have promised to do absolutely nothing on abortion and gay marriage.  But that's not good enough.  It's not what they're going to do that offends you - it's what they privately think.

To get my vote? No, it is not enough. An empty promise based on political opportunity & not from conviction means that when the opportunity changes so will the promise.

P.S. How do you pronounced "promised"? Where is the emphasis?

[HVC]

Because politicians always keep their word

Hidden agenda, dog whistles, etc.

That's his persona convictions.  I'm talking about party policy.  A politician is allowed to have personal convictions and recognize they don't have to apply to everyone.

You say things like that, and then you turn around and vote for the likes of Justin Trudeau.
