@tonytiger55 I couldn't agree more.

Do the WAGs not work because of child care? Or do they just not want to work. Nobody wants to work that's why it's called work.

Cheap childcare means more people can work, especially in part time roles, which means more income, which means more spending, which means more economic activity.

From a cost-benefit point of view it's a no-brainer.

Then why would they deny the same deal to Alberta? Or any other Province for that matter?


The irony to your argument is that there is actually a negative societal value to sending mothers to work and leaving kids to be raised by daycare. Which is well documented by Psychologists. If the government would get their hands out of everyones pockets, stop driving huge inflation, and allow middle class families to flourish as a one income household, the societal benefits would outweigh your daycare ponzi scheme benefits.

It might be at the expense of less economic activity later. The child grows up with parents working all the time. The child ends up with mental health issues later in life. That has a huge effect on economic output and productivity.

Sources? So that means every dual income family out there has a higher chance of their kids with psychological issues? First I’ve heard of this.

As with anything to do with psychology and the brain, "it depends".

But arguably, there has been enough study on this subject to suggest a stay at home mom (likely stay at home parent, but that is not nearly as well looked at).

End of the day, a shitty mom would not be better.

Now why AB gov is stopping all pandemic measure on Aug 16th makes total sense.

This is the talk of dissention Comrade, best discussed with our Gulag in the salt mines.

Wonder how they'll steal this one... My guess is using the "4th wave" to ensure they can do online voting or mail in voting. Worked really well in the US. Maybe lightning can strike twice!

Steal it? Trudeau vs a whiter Scheer 2.0. It'll be a breeze based on charisma alone.

[ExtraSlow]

Trudeau winning would not be a surprise. Any other result would be a stunner.

drama acting alone.

If he had an iota of charisma, a world leader or two might not continually shun him on the international stage.

The guy ain't no JFK. O'Toole is somehow more boringly offensive then Scheer, which both are worse than Olivierre.

He made the right choice not to compete against the retards version of hope and change though.

[sabad66]

Surprised to see Saskatchewan signed on to the $10 child care vote buying initiative. That leaves basically Alberta and Ontario as holdouts. Kenney and Ford just refuse to give Trudeau any ammo in their provinces

This tired ol false argument again. So you have Trudeau that has less charisma than a sack of dog shit, running against anyone who is human. Seems like a simple choice if charisma is what you care about.

Plain and simple, Liberals have the edge before it starts just because of our gerrymandered to shit ridings in Canada. Torontonians are just less likely to vote Conservative because they don't understand simple economics. And Newfies are not going to vote Conservative because they feel it threatens their welfare payments. It boils down to whether Conservatives can educate enough Trons and Torontonians to stop voting against their own best interests. If they can't accomplish that, then Liberals win. Really has nothing to do with charisma, and if it did it would be an open and shut case of Liberals losing.

Liberals are definitely worried though, they're already playing dirty with this latest 61million given to key media outlets for election coverage.

[Brent.ff]

This is why the cons will not win when Trudeau is up. Yes we know he’s an idiot, but he appeals to a majority of non-platform voters. Getting a slight less white-bread version of scheer isn’t going to win shit, regardless of the platform

[ZenOps]

My suggestion of printing money seems to have been taken to heart. So - all is good.

Canada is not designed to have influence leave Central Canada. A Conservative win is largely contrary to the reason the country exists, which is it ensure the hinterlands are essentially colonies of Ontario and Quebec.

Yes exactly. Nothing to do with Truedeaus amazing hair, or the charisma of his continuous Um's, Er's, Ah's. A Conservative government essentially relies on Liberals pissing off enough Canadians that they take a chance on something else. Which we could very well be looking at this time around.

Not a chance. Trudeau is going to turn this into a vote on covid. CRB was very recently extended and the timing of announcing coercive vaccine programs a day before the announcement line up pretty good. If people complain about an election during a fourth wave, he’s just going to point to conservative premiers actions and blame them for it. Maybe toss in some rhetoric about “the Canadian NRA” dragging them to court over the OIC, but leaving out the bit where they refused to turn over any evidence, but he knows voters don’t care about that bit
