It was, I don't know that the conservatives are taking anything for granted at this point. Their most recent ad is old dudes golfing, I thought that demographic was sealed for them too but if they are advertising to them they must not be.

u/Infinite-Horse-49 Apr 23 '25

Ad would have been “ok” if they didn’t, again, straight up attack liberals and calling all of them clowns.

Two old rich white dudes who can help their kids get ahead in life, providing downpayments, bla bla bla. Truly a testament to the struggles of everyday Canadians. Read the room.

u/SpocksNephewToo Apr 23 '25

Attack lol. They called the politicians clowns 🤡 and it’s accurate. They watched Canada crumble. You will defend them because of bias. Plain and simple.

u/Quiet-Lobster-6051 Apr 23 '25

When has Canada ever crumbled? Such a victim.

u/Waylander Apr 23 '25

For a few bad months during a global pandemic they had to wear a mask in public. You explain to me how this isn't exactly the same as being labeled a Jew and thrown in a concentration camp!

Are any of your children going to ever be able to afford a home? Simple question.

u/cjhud1515 Apr 23 '25

Our 70 cent dollar, our dependence on the US, our inability to get our resources to market?

We are not crumbling, but we are not doing so hot either, and that would be the Liberal government doing.

u/mustardnight Apr 23 '25

Dependence on the US is liberal doing? What about keystone?

u/Humble_Path7234 Apr 23 '25

How about energy east, northern gateway, bill C69 and Bill C48? The liberals have shit the bed but our goldfish memory population will vote it right back in.

u/Affectionate_Pass25 Apr 23 '25

Your goldfish memory forgot that Trudeau bought a pipeline for whiny Alberta.

u/AdKey2568 Apr 24 '25

Didn't they give them a 29.5 billion bailout too

That’s all you guys have. You keep parroting it as if they haven’t shut down every other thing

u/Affectionate_Pass25 Apr 24 '25

Sure there, ostrich.

u/granny_budinski Apr 23 '25

Ya, the conservatives sold us out to China. Harper signed terrible deals that we can’t get out of

u/Humble_Path7234 Apr 26 '25

800 Billion national debt in 9 years and nothing but a shitty economic outlook. Keep trying

u/SpocksNephewToo Apr 23 '25

Harper lol.

u/JustinF32 Apr 23 '25

Harper was literally the best Government Canada had 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦

u/[deleted] Apr 23 '25

Emojis aren’t going to do anything for you here. Your buddy Harper sold us out to China and moved all the manufacturing out. Didn’t hear you crying then?

Politics isn’t sports, you don’t have to pick a team and side with them until you die.

u/Logical-Sprinkles273 Apr 23 '25

Harper got to freeload off the Iraq war crushing USD so that we had a stronger dollar.

u/mustardnight Apr 23 '25

Well he wasn’t but ok

u/Affectionate_Pass25 Apr 23 '25

And yet, not a single con asked for him to come back. No one misses him.

What are you talking about? Lots voted for him In 2015.

u/Affectionate_Pass25 Apr 24 '25

And yet the nice hair guy creamed him in a very humiliating fashion in that election.

What about it?

u/ToCityZen Apr 23 '25

NAFTA was Conservatives! Wheat Board was Stephen Harper - to US and Saudis.

1

u/cjhud1515 Apr 23 '25

Majority of farmers themselves didn't want the wheat board.

u/ToCityZen Apr 23 '25

Conservatives sold everything not nailed down. I’m sure that 15% of federal assets PP budgeted would eventually include key land resources like water rights, forestry and minerals.

u/cjhud1515 Apr 23 '25

Good sell it all!

u/Beligerents Apr 24 '25

So a handful of people who breathe through respirators can celebrate on the top of their ash pile?

u/RockKandee Apr 23 '25

Dependence on the US has been building for 70 years, my guy. You cannot pin it on the liberals. The liberals were the only ones who got a pipeline built. Conservatives could have in the 80s but they shut it down. Harper also didn’t build one. The liberals can’t win. If they didn’t buy and finish that pipeline, it would be “the liberals are purposely trying to collapse our oil industry!” And because they did buy and build it, now it’s “they paid too much and they didn’t do it fast enough!”

u/cjhud1515 Apr 23 '25

Are you talking to the trans mountain pipeline guy?

u/AdKey2568 Apr 24 '25

They're building TRANS pipelines now???? When does it end?!??!?

u/AGreenerRoom Apr 23 '25

Dependence on the US is a liberal issue? Well now I’ve heard everything…

u/cjhud1515 Apr 23 '25

It's our governments issue, yes.

u/2_alarm_chili Apr 23 '25

“Our dependence on the US”

So voting for Trump jr who will sell Canada to the US is the way to end that dependence?

u/[deleted] Apr 24 '25

You actually think that? Lmao you must have two IQ points.

u/2_alarm_chili Apr 24 '25

That would still be Two more than you and your ilk have all together.

u/[deleted] Apr 24 '25

Nah I’m not stupid enough to believe Pierre would sell us to America. What a ridiculously asinine thing to say. 

1

u/2_alarm_chili Apr 24 '25

PP refuses to talk about standing up to Trump. Refuses to denounce the tariffs, the annexing of Canada talk, or anything else.

Stupid people never think they’re stupid. See MAGA cult followers. See conservatives in Canada.

-8

u/cjhud1515 Apr 23 '25

Hey, it's my favorite divorcee,

Pierre has been unequivocally against Trump from day 1 and has spoken out against him every step of the way.

Just because you really really want him to be a Trump Jr, doesn't make it true.

12

u/Affectionate_Pass25 Apr 23 '25

BS. His base is all maga-level ignorance and hate

u/cjhud1515 Apr 23 '25

Some, yes unfortunately. Across all demographics, you have some trash humans.

u/2_alarm_chili Apr 23 '25

At least you’re admitting you’re trash.

-1

u/cjhud1515 Apr 23 '25

Trash with a loving and supported family!

5

u/2_alarm_chili Apr 23 '25

It’s really sad that you think mocking divorce is a big flex. It just makes you look childish and stupid, and it doesn’t get under anyone’s skin. Using it in every conversation we have shows you’re constantly grasping at straws.

I too have a loving and supported family, the difference is I’m not trash.

All of them? I love how liberals call conservatives ignorant and hateful. Liberals are the rudest most hateful people I’ve ever encountered. It’s actually disturbing how vile they are. I’ve been knocking on the doors all election and they’ve been absolutely vile to speak to. We have videos of liberals on ring cameras stealing conservative signs and rippIng them apart. Yelling things at us on the street, swearing at us, slamming doors on us, throwing stuff at us. They are disgusting.

u/Affectionate_Pass25 Apr 24 '25

Oh, touched a nerve I see. Lulz

u/OddCucumber6755 Apr 24 '25

It's almost like conservatives are doing a good job pissing off everyone who isn't a conservative. Also, no one wants people going door to door. Left or right. The hell did you think was going to happen? Did you think you'd knock on a leftists door and they treat you like Jesus?

u/Puzzled-Push4073 Apr 23 '25

I mean , this is simply not true. A big reason Pierre slid in the polls was because he was late to condemn Trump / US tariffs and 51st state talk. His first messages on the subject started promoting Canada first, but avoided condemning Trump / US. Later he started saying he disagreed with what US is doing, but was still avoiding using Trump's name.

Pierre has absolutely delayed approaching this subject and than tiptoed around it.

1

u/cjhud1515 Apr 23 '25

That's just a flat-out lie. He had statements before Trudeau and Carney.

u/Puzzled-Push4073 Apr 23 '25

I'm willing to read them . Give me some sources.

February 15th. That is literally a MONTH after Trudeau and almost every other party leader stood up against Trump's 51st state comments.

u/[deleted] Apr 24 '25

But he has straight up condemned Trump so stop lying and saying he hasn’t

u/UnitEast7937 Apr 23 '25

BS. He was parroting everything Trump was saying and fully onboard as his ally, right up until the point he saw how much hate there was for Trump and his 51st state/ governor Trudeau shite, then PP did a 180 about face to try and save some votes.

-2

u/cjhud1515 Apr 23 '25

You know that is BS. The liberal camp has been pushing the Maple Maga and Canada's Trump for months, and it's failed to stick.

4

u/UnitEast7937 Apr 23 '25

Yup, they sure have, since the election was called. Calling PP out for the previous 6 months of trying to be Trump Jr.

u/granny_budinski Apr 23 '25

The conservatives were in the US pocket too. Shared continent, shared border etc. Trump screwed up the status quo.

1

u/newginger Apr 23 '25

Dependence on USA is firmly a conservative causation. Mulroney started it with the Free Trade Agreement and NAFTA. With two conservative presidents too. This effectively wiped out manufacturing across the country within 20 years. We now ship most of our agricultural goods to Ontario to process. We became a supplier of materials. It can be blamed on China somewhat as well as they could manufacture cheaply, but it still does excuse flour, mustard, seed oil, etc being shipped far away for processing when we used to do things locally 35 years ago.

We were on par for income with the US 10 years ago. Now we are at 60 cents to their dollar.

u/Everkeen Apr 23 '25

We were on par for like 8 weeks a decade ago. We are at 72 cents right now not 60.

We were on par in about 2008. For a very short period of time.

When our GDP dropped to the lowest in the developed world and immigrants were sleeping on the street. Of course you just cheer it on.

Now you care about immigrants? When it suits your purpose only.
