Luckily, unlike our neighbors to the south, most of our right wing politicians don't view covid as a hoax. Except for the People's Party of Canada. They didn't win any seats, but made huge gains in votes. Trudeau played to that divisiveness by taunting them, knowing full well that a gain in PPC votes, would be a loss of Conservative votes. A gain for his party, but a dangerous strategy for the country as he only emboldens the PPC.
So the conservatives aren't in charge then.Quote:

Sounds like a result to me.
You seem to like Trudeau. Do you know he is the biggest pussy of all the party leaders when it comes to dealing with China. He's still pondering allowing Huawei to build a 5g network ffs. And he calls anybody that questions that a racist. Just like he did when the pandemic broke and people wanted Chinese flights into Canada blocked.
I didn't vote Conservative btw.
New Democratic.Quote:

I swear the Chinese have something on him.
That's just a joke - why is it taking so long to extradite the cvnt to the US?Quote:

even Jack Ma , who you would agree has ample funds at his disposal had a serious problem in the last year - and add in all the celebrities finding themselves in for re education also.
the michaels will only be helped by diplomacy , whereas the chin queen was helped by democracy
I thought the book - The Last Correspondent by micheal smith was worth reaading

I thought I was clear about Mengs wealth helping her while being tried in Canada. The wealthy you refer to have troubles in China, so not sure of your point.Quote:

The real right wing party (people's party ��) split the conservative vote to the extent that quite a few seats that would have gone conservative went to the Liberals..
Looks like the conservatives won the overall popular vote, same as the last election, but did not manage to win the election...again...
