    She’s a competent MapleMaga a secessionist. She’s demanding that her land locked province gain pipeline access across Canada or they’re leaving the federation.

    I’d hardly call her competent. Her base is simply stupid.

      Marlaina Smith is a traitor to Canada, and should be put in prison.

        Her base is stupid for sure. It’s her oratorial skills that are competent. She says all the right things but her actions are in direct conflict with them.

          To be fair I think she clearly meant in the OECD, where we are second to last behind Luxembourg in GDP per capita growth, falling well short of inflation.

          Meanwhile we are capping ourselves to lower our own standard of living and not even fighting climate change to do so, as we perform mass immigration to hide falling productive growth.

          This then largely falls on the poor whose rents doubled and who are overwhelming the food banks. The rich already own a home and they invest outside of Canada, which Caroline Rogers has then increasingly warned about our diminishing investment into Canada.

          I guess I’m tired of assuming what conservatives might have meant when they say things.

          There’s lots of legitimate criticisms, but we are far from the worst country in the world.

              I agree with you. Conservatives purposely being vague all the time so they can deny their words later. They are purposely being vague so their base can then “fill in the blanks” with whatever spin they wish.

                Here’s the thing: our system isn’t perfect, and you’re seeing a facet where it’s in need of serious repair.

                The thing that blocks us is funding. Mr Ford, for all his televised strongman grandstanding, is not supporting a proper, complete, consolidated care under the control of the voter; his party typically goes for a privatized care system beholden to shareholders.

                The American exceptions, where someone was able to scrape together or beg for the first period or phase of Medicare care in America, is not the rule but the exception. And we don’t see but the exception.

                We need to bring healthcare back in - leaving it to the provinces still, for herd safety - and have the level of care stay a perennial ballot issue. Get the mercenaries out, reap the rewards of consolidation and continued assessment and upkeep. We have a LOT to fix but we don’t fix a house with dynamite (see: America).

                If we truly want American-style mercenary healthcare as Mr Ford’s party and Ms Smith’s party trend towards, make us vote our entire way down that scummy slope to hell.

                Yup, Ford has been cutting funding to public health, just like Smith in Alberta. Remember: public health is provincial. This is why I did not vote for Ford in the last 3 provincial elections.

                    I don’t know who she is but let me guess: far-right.

                    I think that because we have the same problem in Spain. According to the far-right Spain is worst than Somalia.

                    Someone replied to you using her legal name Marliana Smith. If you curious as to why, she brought forward a law designed to hurt transgendered children, to require parental consent for schools to call them anything but their first name. Since she doesn’t even go by her first name, some people now refuse to call her by her middle name, which she prefers.

                    She’s financed by oil companies, a hypocrite, a liar, and rallies her voters by creating imaginary enemies out of “the other”,. A very prototypical far-right politician.

                            You can’t argue with stupid.

                            Just ignore them.

                            That REALLY makes them angry.

                              I get that these people lie and people believe it. But these completely outrageous statements just doesn’t make sense to me. Is anyone looking at canada thinking: wow, it’s crazy to believe to no one has it worse than them

                                    Canada has it pretty bad if they’re worse off than Somalia or North Korea. Canada should really consider joining the USA so we can improve their quality of life.

                                      If we’re going to compare to specific states, then we should be comparing to specific provinces. How’s Alberta compare against other provinces, I wonder?
