You really need to let it go the PCs lost & you have to give the new PM a chance to move on from the Trudeau era. Plus you need to dump…not only did he loose the election for the PCs he couldn’t even win his seat. It’s going to be a major embarrassment if he looses the seat in Alberta

If he loses Alberta, then he will probably step down on his own. But for now, Pierre is the leader that we should support.

7% is barely above NAIRU (https://www.ceicdata.com/en/canada/nonaccelerating-inflation-rate-of-unemployment-nairu-forecast-oecd-member-annual)

If you account for the uncertainty associated with open-economy effects, this is minimal. I hope the government supports the recently unemployed. There are always people in transition, however.

ah, yes the typical Garnett slur about Canada's "radical euthanasia regime". put your Bible down for a moment, Garnett, and *try* to have an intelligent conversation about MAiD? please?? it's important

"While I’m no longer Shadow Minister for International Development, I will continue to advocate for human rights around the world. Since the return to Parliament, I have presented petitions on the situations in Eritrea, Venezuela, Cyprus, and Tibet."

just not Gaza, amirite? *nothing* that Israel does in Gaza, including deliberately targeting civilians and withholding aid, resulting in a famine, would ever result in your criticizing it, amirite?

your bias is so predictable. sadly..

Your comment is pathetic. I’m sure that Mr Genuis views on MAID are shared by many of his constituents. The use of MAID has escalated in Canada. To troubling levels . In some cases ( families close to me! MAID for a cancer victim with an inoperable tumour was reasonable and desired by the stricken individual.

So get a grip. Props to MP Genuis for his well considered position.

Personally i would consider end of life for myself when the circumstances arrive.

I can hold that view with out scurrilous commentary on contrary opinions

Its inappropriate at best for you to cast aspersions on MP Genuis.

yes, the use of MAiD has increased. that's hardly a surprise, since it was only declared legal a few years ago. and yes, there are examples of it being pushed on people inappropriately. these are outliers, growing pains with a new system, and are dealt with. my problem with Garnett is that he is absolutely against MAiD in *any* circumstance, because his Bible tells him it's evil

you don't believe that Israel is deliberately targeting civilians and withholding aid, resulting in a famine? wow... that's sad... esp since there is a lot of evidence that it is

War is wrong. Hamas started it. Israel will finish it. The truth as to what happens on the ground , you simply don’t know. because there are few verifiable reports. And a large, biased pro Palestine activist groups supported by a left wing political and Main stream media with some clearly deceptive and untrue positions on the conflict. Try ground news to adopt a more informed opinion.

one would have to be very blind or naive (or a diehard conservative) to not accept that Israel is deliberately starving civilians in Gaza. which one are you? and killing 10s of thousands of people (mostly civilians) and flattening the Gaza is hardly a proportionate response to the despicable Hamas-led attack on Israel. See... i can be critical of Hamas *and* Israel, while neither you nor Garnett can
