[@KandidKanuck]

With all due respect to your pundits, even IF something could be dug up to make me not want to vote for Poilievre, there is absolutely NOTHING that would get me to cast a vote for either Trudeau or Singh. No matter what, the conservatives will win the next election. The only question is by how much.

[@matti8894]

I totally support spending cuts. Government has gotten way too big.

[@sapporoichiban3612]

@matti8894. Yup, the government has grown by 40% and they produce nothing of value.

[@sean367]

Liberals should focus on packing

[@annsumner8570]

Such a sick system. Summer holidays for these bugs while the country continues to crash and burn, because of them.

[@randywhitehead1829]

Well you know they need something to do when they’re back SMH If I had only known how easy their job is and the money and pensions woulda, coulda, shoulda

[@maple.everything]

MPs take so many breaks.

[@lukethomsen7786]

I get what you're saying, but MPs are supposed to use that time to reconnect with their communities. They don't just stop working. If your MP isn't attending community events during their breaks, you can call their office and ask them why.

[@northernperspective00]

MP's don't take the summer off. They are often attending 2-3 events per day within their community, or surrounding ridings. We have had extensive conversations with present and past MP's and can tell you that the conservatives are working their butts off which is why the polls have remained at the gap that they are for almost 2 years.

[@user-hs4tq7hv1z]

​@@lukethomsen7786 they don't work period I have many times do you think they actually care ?

[@AbeySampson-ow8pz]

Canadians tax payers pay more then $1 billion a week interest payments on total debt $2.99 Trillions Trudeau and Freeland created since 2020. WTF where the funds.

😂Who is going to vote for NDP? Sing is losing his own riding.

[@greghallberg4182]

I don't know - who would vote for phony poilievre?! You'd have to be crazy, rich or just have no concern for life on planet Earth.

​​@@greghallberg4182 His plans are common sense plans. Axe the tax.. cut income tax. Cut wasteful spending. Stop the crime. Thats crazy to you? Whats crazy to me.. Is that you would still vote Liberal. After Billions of dollars were laundered to himself and to all oh his friends! You think Canada and Canadians are doing great right now?

[@TheJimmyidol]

his riding is not listed on BC 338 ? lately wtf!

[@the4xeguy]

Not a persuasion to vote NDP , heck No! Just as bad as Liberal in their ideas and government programs. Canada needs less programs and more ability to pay for what they need themselves, The rest is just waste.

[@ianleslie6971]

Simply amazing at how unbiased this panel is. Almost as if the conservatives were the government. Maybe it's the conservatives talking truth whereas the coalition is dealing in sophistry.

[@chrisrutledge9330]

An attack that the Conservatives will "cut, cut, cut" will be difficult this time round. With 100,000 more federal civil servants doing exactly what, no one knows, and Arrive Can, the Conservatives have a rich field to scythe without wandering into social programs.

During COVID, small towns and villages relying on local tourists suffered immensely and when we did a road trip last summer we noticed ghosted areas and places that used to provide service to travelers. With new taxes, I wonder how much longer these little places will remain open.
