ConspiracyGraham is back!!

These emergency powers seem reasonable, given the circumstances.

Now the Conservatives are playing political games with the aid package:

What games?  Defending our democracy from a government that wants sweeping new powers to bypass Parliament?  The Liberal government wants to ban MP's from the House of Commons because of COVID-19.  If there's anyone who should be able to go to work, it's our elected representatives in order to vote on legislation. If they shouldn't be gathering they can still hold votes and debates in other ways.

Turn this around and pretend Harper was doing this.  What would be your reaction.  You wouldn't call it "games".  Your thinking has become very dangerous.

I'm so glad our government is a minority right now.

Maybe they should have worked this out first rather than trying to fast it past the opposition parties.

I give the Liberals the benefit of the doubt, reluctantly,....

That's what they're counting on.

Scott Reid sounds like a bloody crackpot!   It’s not the Libs telling him to stay away, it’s his own party whip, under the direction of health professionals.   Either the man is a complete dolt, or he’s a conspiratard who thinks the virus is “overblown”.   Maybe he’ll come around in the next hour and a half and stop being a Covidiot, but I doubt it.

Maybe they did and the CPC pooped their pants and held things up.  If the CPC are holding up things that would help to alleviate this health crisis, deaths will be on their “democratic principles”.   Sometimes you have to break a window (ILLEGAL) to save a life (end goal).   If the gov’t has to break a few windows to save lives, and repair the windows afterwards, I have no problems with this.

Basically suspending parliament for almost two years is ridiculous. I can't believe Trudeau had the gaul to ask for it. That isn't wanting co-operation, it's wanting supreme power for the life of this parliament. Right now it is in the opposition's best interest to be co-operative but don't insult them and the voting public.

They were trying to - that's why they gave it to them the night before.  Instead of negotiating, they released it to the media.

It's not a war,

You're right - it's moving far faster.  Deaths have to be shown on a logarithmic scale.  In Italy, there's an over 10% mortality rate now.

No one asked for that.  The government can be defeated with a motion at any time, as happened in 2006.

I see Trump cancelled his daily briefing today and instead went over to see his li'l buddies at Fox knowing they'll happily accept his BS. He goes on to say he thinks all will be right again by Easter, which is just under 3 weeks away. I suspect his followers are in for a big disappointment He'll try to blame the Dems. of course.

This isn't 2006, in case you hadn't noticed. The last thing we need is an election while this is going on and it could be going on for some time. How could you even hold an election in the middle of a pandemic?

This was NOT in the CBC radio report I heard today.

I still don’t think people quite grasp the severity of the situation, including many people on this forum....

Quote
Patty Hajdu, the federal health minister, said COVID-19 could infect between 30 and 70 per cent of Canada’s population. That would mean somewhere between 11. 3 million and 26.3 million people in Canada could get sick, with varying severity.
https://nationalpost.com/news/may-soon-be-completely-out-of-control-covid-19s-dire-possibilities-could-dramatically-change-canada

11.3 MILLION @ 2% mortality = 226,000 Canadians dead.

Go ahead and scale it to what you think the actual mortality rate is and how many people you think will get the virus....   the number is still astronomical.   And the CPC wants to debate the finer points of democracy.  Stupid f’kn idiots.
