Unfortunately and no surprise the bought media are largely sweeping the book under the rug or persecuting JWR over the book, disgusting Canadian media and politics.
Look there is nothing easy about being a conservative anymore. Someone on here once said our country is not right leaning. This is my opinion and take it however you want but experimenting right now is not the right time. We have to have everything click to get power in this country. No vote splitting, a strong showing by the NDP is the path to winning an election. It appears we have now lost our lead in the polls by a percentage point so its probably going to be a Liberal minority. I look at the PC's with 33%, the Liberals at 34%, the NDP at 21% and the PPC at 5%. Look at the numbers and what do you see? I see the right at 38% which is very close to majority numbers. If Trudeau gets a minority I see his 34% and the NDP's bum buddy at 21% and at least 2 more years of Singh and the Turd french kissing the fack out of us. Thats simple math and nothing else.

^^ when 20% support a party that figures you can “tax the ultra rich” to pay for the ones that wont work we are a slippery slope in Canada.

Yeah they announced a $214 billion spend spree if they get power. They asked Thomas Mulcair on CTV Question Period Sunday what he thought of that. He gave the impression they were nuts.

The thing is the support for the NDP is the symptom, not the cause. A person has to look at the reasons why people are pushed to thinking socialism is the answer. Agree with me or not, but there is a growing wealth disparity problem in this nation, and there isn't a single factor that can take the blame for this. I'm not arguing that there aren't people that don't want to work and want a free ride on the backs of others, because there are, but there are people that want to work but become frustrated with the system because they don't feel they are actually able to get ahead and work their way to a better future.

In Alberta (well the west in general) we are mostly sheltered from this, we are still fortunate enough to live in a place where regardless of education, hardwork and determination are rewarded with wages that allow a comfortable lifestyle and some of the luxuries of life. I couldn't imagine being an 18 year old entering the workforce in a place like Toronto or Vancouver, where endless years of low-interest rates on mortgages have allowed home prices to balloon beyond a million, and most jobs pay minimum wage or require a university degree to then enter the workforce to begin to repay student loans while still making minimum wage as an "intern". I can see why some people don't even bother to try, because you could literally work a lifetime just to purchase a house.

The irony of the whole thing is the Liberal and NDP plans just increase wealth disparity. Covid and the CERB programs should be used as perfect examples of this, giving a bunch of people money to do nothing doesn't help the economy, it removes productive effort from the market and the additional money to purchase these products drive up prices, creating inflation. The poorest people that couldn't afford groceries or gas or whatever still can't, because the cost of everything has went up correspondingly with the "free money" that was given out. Except now every Canadian that had money saved in an account, or some other means that doesn't increase in value with inflation, now has less purchasing power than before.

The only way to fix this is to give people a reason to work, allow people to actually benefit from their hardwork, and increase our output. People making things, anything that can be sold, is the only way to long term prosperity of this country.

Id like a 22 bedroom place on the ocean as well. If you cant afford that, maybe move? No one says you have to stay in Vancouver.


Living in any world class international city ie New York, London, Toyko,,,, Vancouver is a luxury and is very expensive. And thats not changing any time soon.

Copied this from another thread… so true:

Canadians best way to end hatred and injustice is by voting responsibly! So before voting ... Please remember who has not had your back during the pandemic and on the contrary totally destroyed Canada. THE LIBERAL PARTY! Lots of words and no action.
WARNING! A continued Liberal Govt would mean:
More discrimination, let’s not forget black face
More deception
More separation
More scandals, SNC Lavolin, WE Charity to name 2 big ones
Interfered with a criminal case (SNC) because they are a party donator
Padded his family and friends pockets with your tax dollars (WE Charity)
More lies
Done nothing for housing issues
Failed to address overseas investors eating up our real estate market
Good people left behind in a war torn country
Taxing of you prime residence
Cost of fuel going through the roof like in BC
More crime
Even lesser penalties to criminals
Defunding of police
Failure to recognize indigenous peoples
Continue to blindly spend tax payers money blindly
A proven destructive track record
Self professed feminist who covers up assaults, including his on women
Left people behind in Afghanistan after knowing about the problems for 6 years
CALLED AN ELECTION DURING A PANDEMIC FOR HIS OWN SELF GAIN !!!!!!!
The list is too long but remember Trudeau worships China and the dictatorship that operates it, those are his words.
Who is paying for all of this? Generations going forward with no light at the end of the tunnel. The Liberal party is run by a Drama teacher with his hand in the cookie jar. That jar is yours. Make a change before its to late, vote conservative, Erin O’Toole, a man who defended our country and has the honor not to leave people behind. 🇨🇦

Furthermore, its not low interest rates driving up the price. Its compition. If a decent house comes up for sale in white rock for 500,000$ im on it, so is everyone else and thier dog.

Low interest rates and 50 year mortgages are just allowing youre average schmuk to stay in the game....


I can find you a house on an acre of land in rural Alberta or Saskatchewan for 50g and you can get the same interest rate as down in Van city. And Why arent they 2 million dollars? Because no one wants to live there..

I'm not talking about mansions on the ocean, many can't afford a run down 1000sqft 2 bedroom house.

I'm sure all those people could move somewhere else, and then everyone would complain because there is no one to make their happy meal or clean their houses, or pickup their garbage, so then a bunch of immigrants move in to take their place and the whining continues.

I used interests rates as an example, there are many more. Trudeau's recent mortgage rules are another example, there are many people stuck paying $2k /month for rent, but can't get approved for a $1300/month mortgage based on these rules. There are landlords that know this and are continually buying up properties with the knowledge that their tenants don't have another choice, and profit off of it.

I'm not trying to get anyone to agree with me, just painting a picture that many don't or choose not to see. These are realities for millions of people in this country, and desperation drives them to believing voting NDP or Liberal is the answer.

Location, location, location. Its the land that worth$


Most the old houses are being torn down and being replaced with nice stuff.


Id love a 300 000$ house in Vancouver. They dont exist.


If you make minimum wage, but want to live in the most expensive district in the country i have no sympathy.


Edit: but im well aware that this attitude exists in Canada. Entitlement i think its called.

Im entitled to to 2000sqft house in Vancouver even if i work at walmart mentality.
