Big Cliff Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 Well, I think this just got interesting and Justin is going to have to get down to business or he'll be going back to teaching after the next election. It wouldn't surprise me at all to see the same sort of thing that happened in the US, happen here, people are just plane tired of politicians! At least Kevin can talk and he's got a proven track record when it comes to business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acountdeleted Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 (edited) Kevin and Donald running North America....... this has the makings of a sitcom. Or, knowing them, a reality show. Edited January 18, 2017 by jeremy84 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave524 Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 Kevin is a flaming red Tory, won't get far with the core Conservatives. He should pull a Jean Charest and run as a Liberal . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeXXington Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 Listened to him on the radio.. If anything he had practical responses to straightforward questions. Wish all politicians would respond to questions with straightforward responses but they have to do the deflect, spin and lie dance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oggie Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 well for once we may actually have a contender from the Conservatives that can compete with a well spoken Liberal. I think O'Leary will take Canada by storm because he's straightforward and not always politically correct. He's kind of a well educated, intelligent Trump. People are worried about Canada's financial situation and O':Leary sounds like he knows how to begin to fix the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headhunter Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 Another blowhard in politics!! Just what we all needed!! Actually what we need and they have found in the States is someone is who the dog and not the tail. For far too long, we have had the tail wagging the dog and that is what has created Trump and will likely help O'Leary as well. HH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I think Patrick brown has a good chance at getting a majority over Orville next election anyhow Wynn has really screwed it up. I know of so many die hard Liberals that are saying they will vote conservative for the first time ever next Provincial election. I think we are all starting to agree that the ban hammer needs to be dropped on spending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somehow these goons manage to convince the people they fleece that they are their only savour. It's mind boggling.

Dutch01 Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 (edited) Also, it's almost impossible to win an election without Quebec's seats. Quebec will never vote for someone who doesn't speak French. I know, he's taking lessons. We'll see if QC buys it or not.

Trump made a career out of not paying working class people for work performed, and somehow they think he cares about "the little guy"'.I like to think people are intelligent and knowledgeable enough per the masses to not buy into that. I genuinely believe, like Trump, these individuals gain traction by default. Its like getting in trouble at work and some guy shows up and chews out your boss over it. People get behind that fairly quickly. Whether its genuine or not is def. Debatable. Drastic measures seem to unite people en masse quickly when the country and average worker etc are not thriving. Not saying its good or bad. Just been my personal observation Edited January 18, 2017 by manitoubass2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutch01 Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 I would say it means he's screwed over a lot of people and been sued on a regular. If getting rich by ripping people off is a guy you want running the country, I can't agree with you there Cliff. Read the article, see what Mattel had to say about him after losing billions dealing with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch01 Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 (edited) I'm sure I'm rufling feathers here, but to be clear I am not advocating for liberal partisanship, I am arguing against all partisanship. "Joining a tribe", liberal or conservative, rarely leads people to more reasonable and rational thought on issues.

Dutch01 Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 (edited) A little less off topic, everyone at the debate seemed to focus on attacking Maxine Bernier. That tells me they saw him as the biggest threat on the stage. I'm sure they'll be attacking O'leary at the next one.

Thanks dude. I'm not sure that's the consensus opinion but I'm not trying to win friends here. Just me being me. I will say I stayed up way too late last night researching the Fraser Institute but I'm glad I did. I'll know to be wary the next time I see them quoted in an article. Just the association with the Koch brothers alone is enough to put me off. Edited January 18, 2017 by Dutch01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
