As a conservative, I'm happy to see those polls , maybe that'll might make the liberals call an election.

[@CJVeniot]

The Libs won't call an election until a new leader is chosen.

[@fraslex]

The election is scheduled for May

[@NowAndToEternity]

Citizens of a nation that voted for a failed leader and its party 3 times but will still keep voting for that party for a fourth time. That is Canada ladies and gentlemen. I think they deserve the state of their country now and forever.

Carney wants to hike the carbon tax on industry. Between that and the tariffs, the ones that don’t leave the country are just going to pass these higher costs on to the consumer. If you loved how prices have skyrocketed over the last few years, vote for Carney. You’ll get more of the same.

Let's get this straight. Canadians want 2 Carbon taxes?? 1. Increase carbon tax on business 2. On all our imports Yet crying over a measly 25% tarrif. Carneys carbon tax is higher! And they want to vote for Carney?? MAKE IT MAKE SENSE! 😂

[@dalelore2725]

why do you make that stuff up. Try talking abought what should be done, solutions, you know, oh I guess you do not.

[@patatequiroule]

Simple enough. Poilievre claims we need to dramatically increase spending on the military but also claims he wants to cut taxes. And you decided to take information from "this guy" when it comes to the carbon tax. The reason it doesn't seem to make sense is because most things coming out of PP's mouth don't.

[@_ivoryx]

It is not just the Carbon Tax. There are plenty of taxes that need to get axed. We are one of the highest taxed Countries in the world and our quality of life is declining. But we're "worried" about Trump?! Now, that's funny.

Sovereignty is really simple to understand, if you can defend the land, you get to maintain it and call it what you want. While the rest of NATO and come to think about it, most of the world is on a war footing when it comes to defense spending, the liberals watched and did nothing worth the mention. The liberal policy has been death by a thousand cuts to the military budget. Canada needs a modernized military that can protect our sovereignty.

[@paulz6491]

I don’t remember the Harper government boosting military spending. The Military has been underfunded for decades by both the liberals and the conservatives.
