Federal Election 2021

(Something New)
"Things come in waves"
... who will not personally understand this for going forward with most everything now?

(Something Old)
"Learn from the past or it will repeat"
Is this not what is said in response to all levels of abuse?

Yes it's non-helicoptered deep-thinking for an understanding of so many things in life ...
OK ... gotta leave a few Gigabytes of off-topic for others on CCF ... :angelic:

... in staying to this off topic, topic ...

I thought about saying something about the cheap money that one can borrow
for a Corvette (perhaps making this good for the CCF). Banks are winning - I am invested.
I have to realize another off topic, topic though ...

Political Platform(s) that are primarily advocating climate change by merely corking an industry
for the purpose resulting in significantly increasing demand on another can be related
to "relieving oneself" into the wind at this point in our time. We have been given a new tax on
something as a measure for using it less, yet without acceptable and well supplied alternative(s).

Who has not already heard ...
"Please do not use (turn off) high demand electrical appliances during peak times"?
If not ... see it coming ...
Just wait until personal use vehicles are added to the demand for electricity ...
never mind the even higher costs that people will will be ultimately screaming about on electric bills.
It is a good cause but it is being driven on soapboxes for the mere purpose of "a vote"
in my opinion. All words for a goal without all-round and meaningful convenience(s).

A "well-known fella" who discussed concerns in the past for a global pandemic,
now has my full attention and now discussing concern toward the demand that our
future will have on the supply of electricity. I can take his words and speculate for investing
in the Industry - which I most likely will, however It does drive home concern.
Hence why I seriously realized my hypocrisy, of which I am not an advocate,
for installing a fuel-burning back-up generator in a new home as a
mere "bomb-shelter" approach for selfishly lessening the speculative inconvenience that
results from electricity grid loss (weather and etc).

Sadly for Canadians, right here and right now, this "well-known fella"
is NOT running for Prime Minister. I know who I will NOT to vote for BUT
I also do not know who to vote for ........ yet. I cannot fix what is broken
without the right tools. Trying to learn for the past with AB merely changing to NDP,
without knowing and then changed back again, without knowing.
The Fed PC is starting to gain my ear ... we will see how this goes ...

:canada:

... perhaps a lot of investments in electricity by Forum Members :thumbs:

Let's face it, we will all pay dearly for those who drive electric cars. After all, this is a business, and Governments are sucked right in. Providing money to help them out of dealer's doors, but getting lots of tax in the meantime at these overinflated prices. A similar combustion engine car is thousands less and will provide you pleasure at a great saving, even after filling your tank up.
It wasn't that long ago, no one could afford electric heating in a home. The rush then, was back to natural or propane gas. Where in the world will all this extra electricity come from when the winds die, and the clouds and snow roll in. Greens just talk, and no answers when confronted. Used batteries, old windmills, and old solar panels will be a curse on dumps and society everywhere! Carbon tax in an invention to tax us all more. Canadian forests do a fine job of eliminating carbon in Canada. Wake up Canada vote the Government out, in 3 weeks.

Kudos for admitting Paul. Here in Alberta after Rachael Notley and the NDP's killed us, there were only 7 people province wide that admitted voting for her.... lol...

Gee... We have an "off topic" area in the forum.... Who'd a known.... No one forces any members to click on and read any of the subjects in the off topic area so feel free to disregard if that is your choice.

Now.... Back to the off-topic .... I agree. with most of the above.... Do I expect a conservative government to be the angels of government ....No.... But I'm more than prepared to give O'toole a shot at being better that JT, and to be honest, he doesn't have to be much good to meet that plateau. JT is likely a nice guy but his head is in a dark place on many levels and on most of the other, he appears to think he can pretty much do anything he wants, regardless of the rest of Canada thinks or how often he gets caught with his pants down. This much is evident by several things that we have watched come down the pipes during his reign.

SNC Lavalin #1.... Breach of ethics law which should really have seen him tossed out of government..;

WE scandal... It wasn't me... Civil service awarded that contract without my knowledge...errr.... My finance minister is at fault too... No Trudeau personal monetary gain... well other than a 1/4 mil for my mother... and personal appearance payments for the rest of my family.....;

The Firearms ban... Pushed by TO committees and instantly turned into a bill by JT's royal assent and instantly turning law abiding and licensed firearms owners into criminal... oh yeah... they tossed in a last minute amnesty until next April for owners that are in legal possession... I could likely have been calmer if anyone who knew one end of a firearm from the other had been involved in the ever growing list of JT's list of "weapons of mass destruction".. but when my single shot 12 ga shotgun and my mother's hand me down semi auto 22 caliber hit the list, I just shake my head in disbelief;

SNC Lavalin #2.... JT - Build Canada five mobile health units that nobody requested or recommended and have never been used since for 150 mil.....

The list goes on but I've ranted enough. Suffice to say that deep down JT may not be any worse that anyone else in politics but really, how many times can you look like an idiot before you learn how to actually hide the stupid things you do..... Nuff said... for now....lol..

You are being way too nice to J.T. The list of screw ups is so much larger then what we know of.
 
Understand that JT is only the front man. He, in reality, is the “Manchurian”. The party itself has taken a hard left turn and not just on policy but also on their views of collectivism vs individualism. This is important because it sets the stage for “the good of the many outweighs the needs of the few”. This is the beginning of authoritarian government. The Charter here in Canada and the US Constitution were not designed to protect the rights of society. They were written to protect the rights of the individual from being ruled by the tyranny of the majority. Those rights are slipping away.

Scandals happen in all governments. Government is made up of fallible people. For me the test is where does a particular party fall on my rights and their commitment to maintaining those rights.

I fear it matters not as Covid has clearly indicated that the moment the masses are physically threatened, financially threatened, or their lives of convenience are threatened, that they immediately run to big brother looking to be bottle fed, spoon fed, patted on the head and told everything will be all right.

“Just give me all control and I will make everything better”….said every government.

Vote for the party that will take away your rights the slowest.

What gets me is how they all are throwing money at anything and everything. You got a Problem? here's a few million. OH, and vote for me.
Don't particularly like our political set up where if you like the leader but hate the "local" rep or vice versa like the local but hate the leader, who do you vote for???
Well, at least so far, we are not as hard done by here as a lot of Republicans south of the border who believe their election of the second coming of christ was stolen.
Got a little proverb right near me. "Its better to like what you have than to have what you like"
Sometimes we, as Canadians, need to step back a bit and appreciate what we have. Things can always be improved. As my old geometry teacher told me "Perfection does not exist".
Wish we could get someone in there who would administer the taxpayer monies rather than looking for ways to spend it.

Hit the nail on the head. Government controlling us so we keep working, keep the money wheels spinning to keep the politicians' wallets full. Rely on the government that has to rely on us. A vicious circle.

Unfortunately the local reps are only there for one of two reasons: They have an honest agenda to enact change and make government better and want to do well for their constituents; OR.... They see this as an opportunity for a job that pays well and an extremely heathy pension that will set them up for life and they don't give two shits about their constituents. Also unfortunately, the first one soon realizes that they are obligated to toe the party line whether they like it or not and the little people are nothing more than minions in the leader's mind. And the third unfortunate is once the first one realizes this, he/she quickly turns into the second one.

The biggest liberal comment I hear very consistently everywhere is that we need to more heavily tax the uber rich like Jeff Bezos to pay for all the liberal cry baby needs on the planet. Try and explain to these folks the fact that guys like Bezos took ALL of the risk and as a result HE has created 1,000,000 jobs around the globe. He creates more GDP than most countries and generates more personal, corporate and commercial property tax revenue internationally than these peons could even punch into their tear tilled calculator displays. They just don't get it. Does anyone with any common sense actually think that super rich business folks and corporations are going to "hangout" in Canada while we force them to pay for a socialist society??? WTF Don't like your $17/hr job at Amazon warehouse??? Go back to school for fuk sake and make your skills more marketable...If you have any work ethic and you are not a moron there are countless opportunities to make more cash around the globe....Jeff Bezos and the rest of us dont owe you s**t...
