The point of the linked article is that it was surprising that a PPC event should be attended by a woman "She formed a marked contrast to the older men in camouflage and the bearded young men in the crowd".

One does wonder how conservatives reproduce.

Re: Election 2021
 

So the election was pointless it seems, CTV saying another Liberal minority.

Re: Election 2021
 

I went to sleep, and when I awoke, as if by magic Liberal minority it is, don't have to wait. O'Toole uses his concession speech to whip the crowd into one last frenzie, a last Trudeau Bad or 2 or 3, and crescendo, then acknowledge the wife and kids. A short bio of himself and commitment to continue leading the party, then all wave and exit the stage. The Bloc leader is down 1 seat and he doesn't look as surprised. I assume they're going to save Trudeau for last but I've already switched to Late Night. His speech will be as standard as the others.

She be the Witch of the Wood. :lol: I haven't looked at the numbers (and may not until they count the mailed ballots) but the PPC is said to have cost the Conservatives in Alberta.
edit: Arrr, belay that last bit. Except for 1 NDP riding and 3 still to report, the Cons swept Alberta so I obviously misunderstood what I heard. Arrrr. (Last half hour of Talk Like a Pirate Day)

Re: Election 2021
 

Can't we all just get back to breakfast threads and stop calling needless elections?

Re: Election 2021
 

Ultimately Trudeau will have a credibility problem.

Spending 600 Million, to achieve absolutely nothing?

And then there are issues with affordable childcare, elderly care homes, affordable housing, etc..... How much of this could one actually deliver with 600 Million.

The election was taxpayer's money wasted.

Re: Election 2021
 

Fuss over nothing, rather as expected. I suspect conservative parties everywhere will have trouble for years. Legacy of Trump, they're not batshit enough for the ivermectin injecting anti-abortionists but too bonkers for normal people. Oh Dear, What A Shame, Never Mind.

Re: Election 2021
 

Old Shut Up :lol: What the talking head on CTV just pointed out is that people didn't really get a chance to get to know O'Toole, and he should hang around. Trump-positive Canadians should be jumping on the PPC wagon because the new improved CPC can't change their image with them on board. The Liberals should be taking something away from the past campaign as well, and it wouldn't hurt them if they implemented one of O'Toole's promises and appoint an independent committee to investigate sexual harassment and sexual assault cases in the military. This week would do nicely. Unlike appointing a bitch as Governor General or wearing blackface to a Halloween party, this is a real ongoing problem and it won't go away on it's own. Finish counting the votes and get back to work.

Re: Election 2021
 

YUP. What a waste of $600M+ of taxpayers money.

Re: Election 2021
 

My sentiments exactly!! just when the country is already deep in debt.... lets waste another $610million..... totally irresponsible....we all knew what the result with be!! :banghead:

Re: Election 2021
 

The problem is that another election could easily be held in 18 months time. It wouldn't surprise me about Trudeau.

Re: Election 2021
 

So I have learned…if he has a vote of no confidence.

Re: Election 2021
 

Shall we put it to a vote?

Re: Election 2021
 

Canada could easily go down a similar road as Australia. They seem to have new elections in Australia every 2 years or so? Or at least up until a couple of years or so it was that way.

Re: Election 2021
 

At least it is better than the US. Elections every 4 years in November. President does not take office until end of January. The following year campaigning begins. The costs involved are obscene.
