Canadian Politics Today

If you think 'Team Trudeau' on social only refers to actual people working for the Liberal Party of Canada, I think Gorgeous is spot on about your objective on this forum.

"team Trudeau" LOL! I certainly don't recall any Liberal MPs, cabinet ministers or PM Trudeau mentioning non-confidence votes as a driver behind the election call... notwithstanding that 20 number seems a tad high in relation to the requirement that only 'money bills' carry the potential for non-confidence. But really, c'mon, no matter how many there actually were, none reached an actual non-confidence status to bring the government down as either the NDP or BQ (or both) had been repeatedly propping up the government to actually avoid non-confidence. And other than a roll-call vote what "bother" is a non-confidence vote... so why even mention it? Your "team Trudeau" tag to those twitter links is hilarious! But good on ya for trotting them out - apparently you thought you found a real gem! LOL!

but thanks for highlighting this again - I've mentioned it a few times in the past: the CPC/O'Toole were not hesitant in voting non-confidence... the most recent profiled instance, as I recall, was the April budget. You know, where O'Toole was quite ready to, once again, try to bring the government down and force a, wait for it... wait for it... a $600 million dollar pandemic election! The number of times O'Toole nattered on about, "$600 million dollars in a pandemic election" was nauseating - he was like a freakin' squawking parrot, over & over & over again.

After Monday's vote, 95% of the federal Liberal caucus are corrupt self-serving a-holes.

duh! The backdrop was the prior 5 months of a toxic dysfunctional Parliament... and the purposeful filibustering/blocking of government intended legislation by the OppoForces - so, you know, parties, MPs, Cabinet Ministers, party leaders, the PM - as you say, "actual Parliament people"! You then proceed to drop your nothingness twitter reference to "20 who knows what". Again, when pressed, you finally brought forward that the 20 reference was some dudes alluding to 20 non-confidence motions as being some determiner behind an election call... or at least that was your implication!

They picked up virtually no seats in Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver etc.  They tend to pick up seats in rural areas or the prairies.  You know, where white people live.  If you have a problem with rural white people please let us know.  If you have evidence of CPC racial bias in choosing candidates please post it.

guys, guys... clearly I've touched a nerve - but really, the waldo suggests you keep your old-stock, white-privilege powder dry! I thought perhaps that 95% white figure for the next 44th Parliament CPC caucus might just be a one-off anomaly; however, your reactions suggest you're reinforcing a deeper ingrained facet of c/Conservatism. By the by, which of you has snitch line duty tonight?

Liberals - 86 seats / Conservatives - 8 seats / Bloc Quebecois - 15 seats / NDP - 6 seats

The NDP is conducting a review of its national campaign to find out what happened with its ground game, which left the party with limited gains and in fourth place despite throwing $25 million into the pot to burnish its appeal.

Jessa McLean, the riding association president of York–Simcoe NDP in Ontario: McLean said her riding can usually rely on Elections Canada campaign-expense reimbursements — money that commonly flows to candidates and helps electoral district associations or ridings — but New Democrat headquarters kept all the rebates in 2019 and again this year.

The decision to keep Elections Canada campaign rebates was made by the NDP's federal council.

"We do take the rebates to be able to run an effective central campaign," NDP national director Anne McGrath said. "But I do agree that more needs to be done to support local ridings."

Nearly half of the NDP's $25 million campaign budget was dedicated to advertisements, social media and online.

Because he's an unapologetic hypocritic.
