There is a difference between saying you want to make the country great and actually making the country great. There is a difference between saying you are for the working class and actually doing things that benefit the working class. Smaller government just means rich people can exploit you more. The only reason you think things are a mess is because people on TV tell you things are a mess. If you turned off the TV you would never think things are a mess. Every gripe you have with the exception of taxes are things that have never affected you personally. Your problem with taxes is that you don't understand what would really happen if your taxes were lowered or even went away completely. You think you would have more money, but that is not the way the world works. Supply and demand dictates that average pay would stagnate because everyone is already doing whatever it is they do for their net pay, not their gross pay. That means that what people are doing for $100K gross and $60K take home, people will be willing to do for $60K gross and no taxes. If you could just understand this simple concept you could stop being a useful tool for the people who claim to be for the working class but only seem to be capable of giving tax cuts to the extremely weathly.
You are attempting to discuss astrophysics with a right dim squirrel monkey.

Trudeau stayed too long and wore out his welcome, even among a lot of liberals.

However, I'm going to laugh my ass off at all the chuds I know when Poilievre takes over and absolutely fucking nothing changes in their day-to-day lives.
If Canadian conservatives are anything like US conservatives they will claim things have changed for the better despite nothing actually changing.

For example Republicans' opinions on the economy shot up after Trump won despite literally nothing changing.

Sure corrupt to help his rich friends. But prior to him winning, really thought he’d do horribly. But he didn’t attempt to pretend covid was fake like other premieres. That being said, I’d never vote for Ford if he were to run for PM

Especially our likely next PM, Pollievre. His policy positions are basically: 1)Liberals BAAAD, 2)TRUDEAU THE WORSTEST :D
With Trudeau gone it will be a new chapter and a better one and he will move on, although I'm sure he'll blame lot of stuff on him while he's fixing it, they all do.Trudeau still blames Harper for stuff. While some people have gone a little too far with the F trudeau flags etc, they will move on, and be happy that he's gone. Reality is he has caused lot of damage and division to the country, it's no wonder so many people hate him and are very vocal about it. I see lot of F Trudeau flags in my area and on vehicles. I just hope Poilievre actually fulfills on his promises once he's PM. He seems genuine about wanting to put the people first but they all do when they're not yet elected, so we'll have to wait and see. Either way he's the best candidate.

This is a really good interview with Poilievre worth watching to gain a better understanding of his positions, the problems we face, and what needs to be done:

What are his actual policy positions, besides being against Trudeau? I don't see him fixing much.

For our American friends, here’s the idiot the squirrel wants


But it’s like the orange monkey. How do you know when Poilievre is lying? When his lips are moving.

The start of the video sounds more like he's talking about Trudeau. Rest actually makes Poilievre look good. Being for smaller government, removing carbon tax, making housing easier to build, buying coffee for protesters, oh the humanity!

The housing bill is actually a really good one, I don't know if he will actually be able to pull it off though as he's basically overstepping outside his jurisdiction but the jist of it is to force municipalities to make it easier to build. This is a GOOD thing. There is so much ridiculous red tape and political setbacks when it comes to building, and a bit chunk of the cost of building a home is actually bureaucracy. He wants to slash all of that. This is a GOOD thing. Let people build!

Being stupid is wanting to continue down the same destructive path we are on. It's time for some serious and drastic change, and we will get it. If you step away from this echo chamber you will see that the majority of people also are fed up and want change. The real fringe minority now are the Trudeau supporters.

That change is Public Housing.

That’s Rob Ford. His brother Doug, is current Ontario premier. The one that has threatened to stop sending hydro power if tariffs happen
I don't keep up really. But, I remember that mayor with that last name who was out of control.

How does wanting less taxes, lower costs of living, deal with crime and drugs, secure the border, get out of our lives, put the country first and just overall make life better have anything to do with nazism?
I always love how your lists of wants start off with lower taxes and smaller government then have a list of things that you want the government to do that involve enlarging the government and spending more money!

US is around 38.5% while Canada is at 41.5%. But apparently Canada is a nanny state. And Nutty Squirrel doesn't understand small rural communities cost a lot more to support through government spending. Smaller government equals cutting off the rural support.

Small government != no government. You guys always go to one extreme and don't understand that it's possible to have middle ground. There is so much waste and bloat in government, that's what needs to be removed. Doesn't mean removing the entire government. There's zero reason why we can't accomplish basic things like law enforcement with a small government, happens all the time in the private sector. Companies keep cutting employees, yet the work still gets done. Government needs to learn to do the same instead of constantly growing like a parasite and not accomplishing anything of value. Lots of 6 figure exec jobs that don't really actually do anything of value. 41% of the GDP being spent on government is completely insane. It should be like 10 at most. The goal should be to keep the government as small as possible while still maintaining order. But instead it's the opposite, they keep growing it, and there is no order.

The only reason CRA office is in Sudbury is to provide employment in Northern Ontario. You are against government supporting citizens.


Private security instead of police will be cheaper? Ahahahahha

You should do a Trump and set up a new entire government department to work out which other government departments to cut down!

The best thing governments could do to save money is stop subsidizing the lifestyles of folks that are sucking on the government teat in rural areas, as they have to be subsidized by the tax dollars of more urban areas.

it's time to stop propping up the lifestyles of folks like @Red Squirrel with wealth redistribution by the government.
