NDP and liberals are done

[@tux1968]

Nonsense. The damage they've inflicted on Canada, will live on for generations.

[@luckykaren4]

I hope so as long as everyone understands the Liberals changed their name in BC to BC United

[@Scatherfirst]

Singh has destroyed the NDP, perhaps forever.

[@user-yi6zr8mh5n]

Christy Clark in BC should never be put in for Trudeau!

[@colehara]

It makes no difference who the leader of the Liberal party is when the next election comes. The Liberal Party of Canada is toast.

[@SevenSixTwo2012]

Never underestimate the Canadian sheeple and their infatuation with false feel-good promises from leftist politicos.

[@autonestegg4195]

They will be toast in the next election but possibly for just one election as Canadians are naturally liberal or Centrist and like thinking of themselves as nice... I hope that Pierre can cause us to want to be competitive productive and prosperous as a nation

[@sarahlittle7021]

I remember Christy Clark. She stepped back from politics for a few years and was a radio host for CKNW. When Gordon Campbell lied and changed the GST and PST to an HST, he tanked in the polls, reaching Trudeau like numbers. Christy Clark hinted on radio that he should step down, only to be asked if she would run. After humming and hawing for a few weeks she ran and became the new leader of the BC Liberal party. She then won the next election with a majority, then won a minority in the next election but failed to hold power when the NDP and Greens formed a coalition. So, to sum up, she took over a Liberal party that was deeply unpopular because of one tax that was introduced (Carbon tax) and one tax increase (HST, but offered rebates to make it revenue neutral), and a leader with a history of scandle (like a DUI while in office when he was on a vacation in Hawaii). The party was in office for 10 years and showing fatigue. Clark kept that party in power for 6 more years. Christy Clark keeping a ten year long Liberal party in power following a bad leader, unpopular taxes, and a history of scandle is what she does. PS. She never cancled the carbon tax in BC. when she was Premier.

The Alberta liberals will not be re-elected. Boissenault; remember, suggested that Albertans switch to heating oil to redeem the same carbon tax credits as the Atlantic provinces. Not his dumbest statement but his riding, Edmonton Central, has had enough of his loyalty to a party whose main objective is to destroy Albertans advantage as the most productive province and has afforded them a high standard of living. They have seen that eroded under his repersentation and like trudeau they have lost confidence big time.

The Re-Bar in the pipe was not coated with epoxy (it wasn't available then). What happens is that concrete is porous and water can leach in a rust the steel re-bar. When rusting occurs the steel expands and swells breaking the concrete pipe. All new construction will use epoxy coated re-bar where any type of water penetration is suspected. A lot of pipe should be inspected and probably a replacement schedule developed.

The Dunning-Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which people with limited competence in a particular domain overestimate their abilities. It was first described by Justin Kruger and David Dunning in 1999. Some researchers also include the opposite effect for high performers: their tendency to underestimate their skills. In popular culture, the Dunning-Kruger effect is often misunderstood as a claim about general overconfidence of people with low intelligence instead of specific overconfidence of people unskilled at a particular task.

Really? Trump is a liar, a grifter, and a traitor to his country. He showed foreigners classified information. His money was inherited, not made. His financial history is one of numerous bankruptcies. He is narcissistic and vindictive…he incited the January 6 attacks. His followers went into the capital and defecated and urinated all over the building, and good people died because of his refusal to call them off. Even if he was a good businessman, which he isn’t, he is not fit to lead the country. Trudeau is a selfish, dishonest, hypocrite, and if he took advice from Trump, he would definitely be a fool.
