Chicken. Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 2 minutes ago, Jimmy McGill said: wow, now there's a dream team. Scheer just keeps giving us reasons to be happy he lost. But it looks like the CPC is lining up to pick another loser candidate. O'Toole is already going hard right, and MacKay won't beat Trudeau after doing a decent job on covid. With Joe and Justin working together for a few years we can undo a lot of the trade damage Trump has caused Canada, so really if you're a patriotic Canadian in any sense you need to be hoping for a Biden win. Dumb question... is Trudeau eligible for another term ? or when is the last year he can stay in power ? You're probably right on the patriot part, as that scummy steel tariff move still irks me, but the entertainment factor will drop significantly if Biden wins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Course, if you can't be a no substance/fluff candidate like Justin Trudeau.....you don't deserve to be in power. Course there was no term limits for Presidents in the states until the GOP found out they couldn't beat FDR; so they changed the laws to add term limits. Course, when they have a candidate that can't be beat, watch them change it back. They don't do things "illegal"....they just change the laws to get what they want.

IMO, there should be no reason that voters can't bring back a candidate if they so choose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, back then GOP actually had some integrity unlike the party of Mitch. Edited May 22, 2020 by 24K PureCool 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And not be satisfied until every last good paying job is gone. Let the Hyper-inflation begin .

I get it we don't vote for a PM but honestly most Canadians believe they're voting for a PM/premier not an mp/mla. Yet the party can remove the leader if they want to. Look at the Ralph situation in Alberta, the party got worse after throwing him under the bus. Chretien and Martin animosity. The US system is set up better actually as it's supposed to be average American picks the candidates and Presidents/governors/Senators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
