It'd consider this line of discussion to be thread drift. Not that my opinion matters.

Thread drift isn't a thing here.

Listen Saint Omni of Liberal Righteousness, some of us find your outrage b.s. Lighten up. You have no sense of humour about Liberals. We get it.
You and Squid are suddenly outraged. You aren't outraged at a terrorist being paid $10 million when your beloved Liberals have no money for vets, that you spin away but this harmless tongue in cheek picture and you pee your pants? Give it a rest. Lighten up. You boys can't stand it when the butt of humour is in your direction, period. Don't pose as suddenly being the moral police. You and Squid have had your share of dumb ass moments on this forum as have we all. Now run along and pose on a mountain or whatever you Saints do just do not show up in my bathroom. I have enough looking in the mirror at my wrinkles to see a vision of you.

It seems rather obvious who IS peeing their pants here. The little boys room is to your right, far right.

OTTAWA -- A recent survey conducted by polling firm Leger for The Canadian Press shows that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is taking a personal hit in the SNC-Lavalin controversy.

In a question about which party leader would make the best prime minister, Justin Trudeau got the backing of 26 per cent of respondents, down seven points from when Leger conducted a similar poll in November 2018.

Leger's executive vice-president Christian Bourque says the firm's latest poll is the first since the 2015 election that found the Conservatives ahead of the Liberals in Canadians' party preferences, though the Tory lead falls within the margin of error.

Leger found 36-per-cent support for the Tories in a question about federal voting intentions, against 34-per-cent support for the Liberals and 12 per cent for the NDP.

JWR will speak to the justice committee today so we shall see what comes from that. It's an in camera meeting but there's always leaks. Clarification is needed on this issue otherwise speculation could hurt the Libs just as much as if there was any wrongdoing by the PMO.

A picture of the mother of the person involved in this political discussion has absolutely no relevance, and the ignorance of the poster not to have discovered the lady was already deceased simply adds to the ridiculousness.

It was a douche-bag thing to post...

Trudeau's personal leadership took a hit. Voting intention is in a dead heat (within the margin of error), which I always hold benefits the Tories. People tend to be less willing to admit that they're voting for Conservatives from what I can tell from past polling trends.

In any case, this is cross-sectional data, so it's a snapshot at a particular moment from a particular sample. These things change and without longitudinal data that asks the same individuals over an extended period of time, it's tough to say people have changed their voting preference.

I suspect if testimony reveals there was no undue pressure put on JWR to protect SNC then the issue will have been a tempest in a teapot and forgotten. It will be replaced perhaps by Scheer's connection with the "yellow vests and Faith Goldy" type hate groups.

Trudeau already has a really low approval rating, lower than Donald Trump's, which is pretty unbelievable.  This scandal can only hurt that.

It doesnt say how the other leaders faired in the poll.  Singh isn't popular, so I assume Scheer got most of the rest?  Scheer doesn't seem very likeable either.  If the CPC want to win they might want to hide Scheer in a cave for the next 8 months and consider surgically altering his freaky Joker grin.



I know, i know.  How dare I bring Scheer's creepy smile into this discussion!

I, for one, admire your comedy sir. I work in the oil and gas industry, and we tar and feather the politically correct on site.

Most people are finally starting to see how much of a flake Trudeau is. He is not taken seriously by World leaders, and is a disgrace to Canada. He makes us look weak. IMHO, Peter Mackay would have made an awesome PM, but that ship has sailed.

Even with the "scandal" Trudeau is ahead of Scheer in the polls. We'll see how that plays out after testimony is given by JWR etal. And you do hopefully understand that Canada is a multi-party system as opposed to the US two party system, so comparing polling numbers between the two means very little.
