Crombie, a former Liberal MP, emphasized the relationship between Doug Ford and minimized the perceived closeness of her and Trudeau

So you're suggesting that Trudeau Liberal policies were somehow preferred in this area by massive margin in 2015, 2019 and 2021 but aren't now, with the only real policy change that negatively affects these people is capital gains?
Quite honestly, I'll be surprised if this riding remains CPC during the next federal election. My gut instinct is that there's probably a small contingent of ABC voters who had planned on staying home during the next election but now that reality has hit they'll come out. And this margin was so narrow it'll flip here.
Yeah, so maybe the public service needs to take a look at say "if we have two people warming a chair for 60% of their work time, maybe we should fire two and have the third only warming the chair 10% of the time"
... you've got to be the only person then. Even the CPC is surprised they won.
Also, your excuse makes no sense. What's your reasoning for the previous Liberal massive success in thus riding? They've regularly been getting ~50% or more of the vote and even won by a healthy margin in 2011 when the party was soundly defeated from coast-to-coast... Do you think all the rich people moved in within the last couple of years?
Like what? Half baked drug and dental plans that barely anyone is eligible is for?
Unfortunately we have like 40% more public servants yet somehow services aren't 40% better... So yeah, productivity is unchanged, that's the problem.
I mean when you have NDP voters who would rather have a Con win than the liberals...
Maybe they're NDP voters who hate what's happening to this country under the Liberals and possess the conviction to vote for what they actually believe in.
Since 2021, federal government departments and agencies have spent at least $1.7-million on influencers, and influencer marketing campaigns and strategies
![Ottawa keeps spending on influencers. Liberals say it’s about stemming disinformation](https://lemmy.ca/pictrs/image/1f8834d6-0e3b-454b-bcb6-c98f2b021a2b.jpeg?format=webp&thumbnail=256)
While they do have some legitimate uses, "mouse jigglers" have gained notoriety for being misused.

Did you asking about getting a heat pump to run the AC coil above the gas furnace instead of just a regular outdoor AC unit? The cost difference in hardware is only a few hundred dollars at most (for same sized unit, maybe $500-$700 if you are going up a size to hear for longer into the winter), installation cost should be the same and while it doesn't eliminate gas burining you can reduce it by probably 50% - 70%.
This is basically what I'm in the process if doing, except rather than a furnace replacement I'm only doing it to add AC because I currently don't have AC on my furnace.
Perhaps the NDP shouldn't have hitched their horse to the Liberal bandwagon. The fact that they're showing so poorly is just as mind boggling as the Liberals losing this seat.
What I see is 5k NDP and Greens voters who would rather see a conservative MP having the seat than make sure it's someone fairly progressive in place.
It's called having integrity. Although I largely don't agree with their politics, I am proud of the 5k NDP and Green for being uncompromising in their values.
ABC voters have no commitment to ideals or integrity, they'd vote for the likes of Stalin and Mao if it meant keeping a conservative out of office.

This is a stupid take, why on earth would they give up majority rule, which they regularly get, in favour of a forever minority in which the partners in the coalition would have far more power than they ever do under FPTP?
Because we live in Canada and our design day heating energy requirement is typically far greater than our design day cooling energy requirement. Add in the fact that best pump efficiency falls way off at design day heating (to half or less of design day cooling) and you end up with equipment that may be able to do heating and cooling but is way oversized for cooling, so lots of people opt to save capital (and potentially maintenance) money by relying on gas heat for the coldest days.
Because water heating with heat pumps is currently garbage on the residential scale... the heat pump capacity on residential water heaters is quit low, which is fine for keeping the tank warm but not for dealing with a half decent draw, so they all include full electric capacity which means you need the service size and associated operating costs to go along with it. Commercial heat pump water heating isn't much better, it may get better once CO2 or propane take off as a refrigerant here.
Because more and more buildings are putting in emergency generators, which require either natural gas, propane or fuel oil. One of those is significantly easisr to install and maintain than the other two.
Nathalie Drouin said that Justice Marie-Josée Hogue already has access to the “most relevant” cabinet confidences on foreign interference.

There is no credible source that "most of them had no idea", you are speculating from vague statements other people have made. This is exactly why the report needs to be public.
What's thr point of him reading it though? Unless he's allowed to give us actual specific details about it, nothing changes for us voters whether he reads it or not, just like nothing has changed for us voters just because Singh and May read it.
I'll tell you what will happen if he reads it: he'll spout off some vague bullshit just like May and Singh did and people will accuse him of lying for the purpose of stirring up political dissent for his own advantage.
You could not vote for the person if the parties don't have enough sense to dump them.
Federal NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh says he is 'even more alarmed than before' after reading the un-redacted report alleging there are MPs and senators who are participating to some degree in foreign interference efforts.
![Singh 'more alarmed' after reading report, but won't break from Liberal-NDP agreement](https://lemmy.ca/pictrs/image/769b591b-dc11-4a30-a2bf-6243d354883d.jpeg?format=webp&thumbnail=256)
And this is exactly why the security clearances don't matter. May says it's basically a nothingburger involving former politicians while Singh is suggesting in involves current policitians and acts as if he's quite upset, but apparently is not upset enough to actually hold the government accountable.
Meanwhile Trudeau doesn't even believe the damn report and Joly says Liberal MPs aren't involved.
The only thing Poilievre having the clearance and reading thr report will be a 5th opinion on what has occurred; this is functionally useless to us as voters because we still won't know who's full of shit and who's not.
We, the people, need the names for ourselves!
Lol, we are good at predicting some them, not all.
Perhaps we should put some significant effort into not being stuck on the this rock. If humanity surviving is the goal, there are several cosmic events that could wipe us out much faster than climate change if they occur.
Investments in energy and resource infrastructure, as well as in research and development and innovation, require a consistent policy framework, new report says

She is a politician, that's enough reason to distrust her.
Yeah, sorry, but I don't trust May, Trudeau, Poilievre, Singh or Blanchet. There's no point in any of the party leaders seeing the list or report unless they are able to actually tell us the people who are involved.
Good.
No politicians of any major political affiliation are working for the people anymore, and us people don't have a means of peacefully resolving this problem.
The only wah we're going resolve this problem is the same way France did during the 1790s.
Yes, because never in the course of any war throughout history have innocent bystanders been hit by accident.
Israel has enough firepower that if they were committing a genocide Gaza would have been a literal pile of rubble decades ago.
