The "LOLCANADA" thread...again

So what's new?

I've noticed the Liberals are now ahead in all major polls and Trudeau hasn't even started to campaign yet

Sadly poilievre is still lying. He hasn’t realized that the cumulative effective of removing five years of carbon taxes only removed a paltry 0.6% once - far less than his “tax the farmer who grows the food and tax the shipper who moves the food” type rhetoric would ever imply. Yet he still lies. Current price increases in food jumping are far more about things like global food

Maybe it's easier to put it this way: the carbon tax is gone. Does anyone look out at the economy and think, hey **** is really affordable now? Noone? Not anyone?

The carbon tax wasn't the source of affordability problems and removing it isn't the cure of affordability problems.

I saw a stat that the amount of carbon Canada reduced in 5 years was emitted by China in 48 minutes

Does it seem more affordable I think anyone that fills their tank or gets a heating bill notices it .
Did anyone say when the carbon tax was here wow I’m saving the planet ? Not a chance

Even Carney has said the consumer carbon tax had little effect


Ffs you are one slipper eel. We had YEARS of rhetoric about how the carbon tax was a huge driver of the affordability crisis and making everything so much worse while inflation ran wild through the economy. Now five years of increases are removed in a single month and you get a paltry 0.6% reduction. One time. That’s it.

Are you ready to admit that poilievre (and you) lied repeatedly drastically exaggerating the role in inflation and affordability the carbon tax had meanwhile the economists like Trevor tonne I have cited got it spot on?


Empirical data is fake news .

Nope Pierre was telling the truth and the one lying was Trudeau. Do you think after the carbon tax is eliminated all these companies say oh look at those savings lets cut prices ? Not a chance they just keep the profits that is how companies work

Lol. So embarrassing.

1) Economists long predicted the carbon tax had a negligible effect on inflation, about 0.1% per year.
2) When the last 5 years all came off in a single fell swoop, it was a ONE TIME drop of 0.6%, which is more or less exactly in line with 5 years of 0.1%.

The economists were completely vindicated and Poilievre's nonsensical lies pretending a large portion of inflation was due to carbon tax was utterly nonsense. And no, if you look at gas prices they more or less dropped by exactly the carbon tax. That's an efficient market, so this idea that there will be some big drops in teh future because of greedy companies, nope try again.

STOP BELIVING POLITICIANS WHO LIE TO YOU.

So why you wanted to abolish the taxe then .
At least it was money for us Canadians not for
Corps ….

Ps: highly unlikely all the companies in Canada won’t reduced prices to gain market shares if they could ….
It just proved that the tax carbon didn’t increases prices much instead .

Well obviously gas went down and no carbon tax on my home heating bill from a Green Clean Energy Natural Gas

The savings for me are big

Yeah , thx to trump for that ….

If me explaining to lozen that a one time drop of 0.6% when removing six years of carbon taxes all at once against a backdrop inflation of 20% wasn’t enough to get him to understand he’d been lied to, maybe this will help: https://thehub.ca/2025/05/22/need-to-kno...

Read the whole thing. You won’t, of course, but maybe this time try it?


Poilievre is declaring an insanely oversized 74 person shadow cabinet. This is big government inefficiency at its worst.

And it 80% men. We’re told this is a meritocracy, so I guess conservatives just can’t recruit and elect qualified women???


do we think the percentage of mps who are women is that far off from 80% . probably in the 70-80% range and the conservatives would have less . of all the things to care about....


Liberals are 60/40, only the CPC is at the bottom with 80/20, which is really rather low. Let’s put it this way: if you are going to endlessly screech about how horrible aiming for a 50/50 cabinet is and it just has to be a “meritocracy”, but then you make a gargantuan big government shadow cabinet that is 80/20, well it rather begs the question of where your meritocratic women are.


is is true? are canadian leftists actually trying to get publicly subsidized suicide available for minors?



Don’t know
Don’t care

god this is why your so cringe. like you understand the statistics but you ignore them and now your showing the math that you understand it . conservatives are majority men (followers and mps) tribalism at its finest. if they made it 50/50 it would not be the best they got. you just sound anti men


they lost. im pretty sure your not beholden to any campaign strategy's after you lose. lol infact you often want to do the opposite since your strategy didn't work. but just because they lost and are wrong about some things. does not mean they are wrong on this issue

probably not. unless by leftists you mean 1 or two guys


anyway have you ever asked yourself why liberals struggle in the male vote? they probably lost every men demographic. there's a lack of good female mps because their voter base doesn't favor voting in females and all the good females are forever libtards lol

Lmao "anti men", what a caricature. Yes CPC struggles to attract women voters, and even more pronounced struggles to elect women MPs. I'm not quite sure what statistics you think I'm ignoring or how that observation makes me "anti men". I think the CPC hissy fit over the liberals aiming for a 50/50 cabinet is silly - that's about it.

You're so close now.


by uke_master

You're so close now.

i understand. i think your missing what I'm saying

Your tribalism battle of left vs right has made you anti men which is pretty funny because your in the women leaning party so its just a thing you have to do even if its bad for you. im not even talking left right politics. I said you understood the statistics but still flamed the cpc for not putting underqualified people in positions over more qualified men based on statistics.(theres more to choose from...). This is a not a political conversation its a diversity hire one but I guess to you its all the same because your team has a side on that debate.

I just want to see you be center right leaning on one particular thing . it would be neat. But we have to win every battle everywhere for the tribe. name a thing you think your right leaning on. There is thousands to choose from.

tldr uke "how dare they put 80% men lol what losers"

also uke "they have 20% women"

If we ignore the politics here this is just completely normal stuff but you find a reason.

its completely normal for a party to swing in the direction of one gender i don't see it as an issue at all especially currently

[/QUOTE]lmao it’s hilarious that you had to make up fake quotes to imagine there is any tension. Normal versions of these two statements make the same point. Namely, CPC party doesn’t have enough women to make a 50/50 cabinet (without including the fringe nut job backbenchers) which makes it kinda hilarious to see them bleating on and on about how terrible it is that the liberals - who certainly can - aim for 50/50.

Or as you put it, their base doesn’t favor voting in women. You can think that’s entirely unproblematic and not indicative of anything, if you wish, but that’s the observation. Stop trying to invent that I’m ignoring statistics lol.

This is so stupid it deserves its own post. I don’t think I’d complain about tribalism if I was going around instantly putting people into…..tribes…..as “anti men”.


well the liberals can't they are not 50/50 maybe with some variance but we know that's not what its about. you made a very anti men point and you don't even know it


Lmao at trying to shoehorn that I’m “anti men” in lol. Some people just gotta get off the internet I suppose before their tribalism overtakes them.
