• Parties

    From IB Joe@1:342/201 to Aaron Thomas on Mon Jan 19 16:58:32 2026
    I read that you asked a question and I don't recall answering it.

    There is a Conservative Party in Canada that Pierre Poilievre is in. There use to be 2, its like the Conservative party was center right and the Wild Rose Party was far right. The flower called "The Wild Rose" is the provincial flower for Alberta, this is where the party started.

    Having 2 Conservative parties cost an election in the province... The right was split and the NDP (Far Left) got in for a cycle.

    The 2 parties collapsed into one and are trying to get along so the Commies don't get back in.

    This sheds more light on the subject. It sounds like this fallback system for when a majority is lost is not so great afterall because it puts more reliance on other parties, which would never, ever work in the USA, so how could it work in Canada? (It can't.)

    This reminds me of how NY has 2 (supposedly) right-wing parties: We have the NY GOP and the NY Conservative party. Sounds like we'd have a lot of great minds working together to help the state. right? Hell no. Both parties are corrupt, neither party produces good candidates, and neither party answers emails nor phonecalls. (See the pattern?)

    Do they have that in Florida? (My guess is no!)

    In Canada if the Party in power is a minority... I tried to look it up but I gave up... there minority seating arrangement is only by a couple seats.

    The party in power usually work with others to pass legislation. These minority governments don't usually last long... 18 months or so... before an other election is called.

    Justin Trudeau's last term was a minority government and he was able to do what he wanted because he had talked the NDP (The AOC Party) to help him out. The leader of that party wanted his pension (MTG Style) so he went along. After he was eligible for his pension they called an election.

    In comes Carney.

    To be honest if Trump didn't bust Trudeau's balls over the 51 State thing the Conservatives would have won... There are a lot of Rosie O'Donnell(s) and Robert De Niro(s) in Canada. I LOLd but I knew the left would be running around with their hair on fire.

    Now we have Mark Carney for a few months more... Pray for Canada!!!

    Canada and the US are no different in that there is a political spectrum that people are in. In the US, for the most part, there is a 2 party system. Each party have their center majority and then their more fringe AOC/MTG. All are suppose to get along and work together for the end goal of insider trading or whatever it is they do.

    Canada has several parties Far left (NDP) center left Liberal (This is a LIE) center right Conservative far right Wild Rose Party. <--- This party doesn't exist any more.

    Your State has a problem if there are 2 conservative parties. It splits the vote and the Democrats walk into power every time there is an election.

    Florida there are just 2 parties. Most Florida is Red, larger city centers Blue. There was a time where Florida was considered a swing state... But since Trump's election and Ron DeSantis being Governor Florida will not be swinging anywhere for awhile.

    I prefer the US's style, it is what it is, but the politics as of late sucks with the left hating everything and everyone...

    Anyway. Go RED Team if you're in the US, Go BLUE if you're in Canada!!!

    I was able to tell that it was bad for Pierre, but obviously Trump don't really care about Canada and I don't blame him. Canada is Cher's and Susan Sarandon's problem. ;)

    I don't fully understand the reason for 2 conservative parties, but I'm 100% sure that it has something to do with money.

    Florida there are just 2 parties. Most Florida is Red, larger city
    centers Blue. There was a time where Florida was considered a swing state... But since Trump's election and Ron DeSantis being Governor Florida will not be swinging anywhere for awhile.

    Smart. I admire red states.

    I thought, and still do, that Pierre was a good choice as PM for Canada. He was talking normal. He wanted to build refineries capable of processing Alberta's Oil. The list goes on and on and on... and we got this current Liberal government instead.

    Pierre lost his seat in the Ottawa area... So someone gave up their seat for him to have in Alberta. So he moved out west to Alberta and his riding is just south of Edmonton that is in the most conservative ares in Canada.

    I stopped worrying about things lately. At the end of the day Canada might have needed a few more years of failed Liberal policies before they are Red Pilled.

    Pierre is smart and has great come backs and he's entertaining to watch and there will be an election soon, in a year or so, and we can finally get rid of these socialist that are running the show here.


    I don't fully understand the reason for 2 conservative parties, but I'm 100% sure that it has something to do with money.


    I'd don't know if it was money. Alberta is the put the welfare office in the unemployment office... You need money get a 2nd or 3rd job or get a trade or work in a camp... working 2-3 weeks in the came with a week or two off. 12 hour days... That's Alberta... Libertarian type. In the east... a different bread of Conservative... Suite and tie and more academic... They didn't mix well. In the US the parties tolerate the diversity within the party... AOC likes/works with Chuck Schumer and so on. In Canada they split that diversity up. You have mainstream (not so anymore) Liberals and left wing fanatics like AOC called the NDPs. The Conservative party had the same... Until it cost Alberta an election, the NDP party got in for a cycle.

    After that they formed back to one party.

    We need politicians to represent us, the people, and not their own interests.

    Recently Canada lost a Liberal to Ukraine... Freeland, the old Finance Minister just quit and went to Ukraine as an advisor to Z. Ukraine receives BILLIONS and BILLIONS from the west and now she's there helping Z launder the money I guess.

    Everyone filling their pockets. No one helping their constituents.

    I like them too.

    What else is there to do in Ukraine other than corrupt stuff? Not much, I suppose. I'm not in a hurry to go there.

    It sounds similar to the desperation that we see in third world countries. The elites know that they made things miserable for everyone else, and they don't want to experience the hell that they've created, and they don't look back.

    We need to use @RonL's theory that he uses on the Democrats... and its simple... Let Them Speak!!!

    And if WEF is anything its a great indicator as to what Carney can say.

    What an idiot.

    I think that was is coming to an end... after Trump and his Greenland deal and the way he pissed on the WEF with his "American First" penis.

    He was right when he said that he has no problem there.

    The BEST trio in US history is Trump, Vance and Rubio F**king unstoppable.

    Yup. Just let them speak. I figure that almost all of the Conservative political ads this year will simply be Democrats speaking - and sinking their own elections.

    And if WEF is anything its a great indicator as to what Carney can say.

    What an idiot.

    I just saw that Trump withdrew Carney's invitation to join the Board of Peace.

    They always look down their noses at us plebes.

    "Act" is correct. They don't want to actually solve any problems. They just need an excuse to demand that you give then more power/money to "solve" the problem - while not solving it and making more problems.

    They've been doing this for decades now.

    I'm enjoying it too! I never knew that Rubio was such a great guy. His heart has probably been in the right place all along. Rubio and Vance give me hope for the future, but consider this: Trump is an extremely loveable guy. It's so easy to appreciate and admire him, and he speaks so lovingly to all of us.

    I think that's part of why he's been able to win. Do the other guys have it in them to show and receive love like Trump does? I don't know. I hope so!
