Who has your vote in the next Federal Canadian election?

[TheJames101]

Clowney did not leave the private sector where he was making millions of dollars to rescue Canada from a crisis, he came to politics to make money.

This is why I don't understand why "he's not a career politician" is a valid argument. Obviously business people come to politics to make money. It's what they do, no matter the party. Bizarre that it's considered an asset. Business is not an altruistic pursuit, while politics is supposed to be.

A couple points. First, he may be a globalist, but you seem to have revealed a tendency for tabloid style journalism (like Rebel News) by calling him a pedo. There's no basis for that. Maybe you were joking.

The other point is that incidentally, the Cons would be worse for your profession - though ultimately I don't think either party will make a big difference in that regard.

Yeah, I have made it very clear on merb / in other threads & publicly that I find all politicians to be hood rats with hidden agendas. I am in fact that “conspiracy theorist” as people like to refer to me. I called him a pedo because he simply looks like one and well, that big club is made up of a lot of pedos
Tabloid style journalism is much more of a left leaning style… the ones that can’t take questions or different takes because someone doesn’t agree with them / or doesn’t work for government funded mainstream media journalism. They’re good at not answering questions… as we’ve seen very recently with Mr. Carney and Mr. Singh.

Side note: My “misinformation” turns out to be true YEARS down the line... us conspiracists should swap our tinfoil hats for crowns at this point.

Secondly, I disagree. The economy will flourish. People will have extra money to spend on leisure activities = aka hobbying.

The issue is with Carney's conflicts of interest. The people have a right to know. Why does he not disclose his assets? People need to know how much shares he has in Brookefield especially if he plans to use Brookefield to constructs thousands of modular homes. And the thing is about politics, they are there to serve the people. They are elected officials. This is not supposed to be a business but the Liberals turned it into a business with things like the carbon tax. The only times that politicians really work is during election times. Trudeau had a mass uncontrolled immigration policy to serve his own personal and political interests and Carney was his economic advisor. They are working together. They got bad intentions. They turned it into a money making scheme while impoverishing the average joe. Homelessness has exploded, yet they keep on bringing hundreds of thousands of asylum seekers and give them free hotel and monthly paychecks. Make it sense to me because to be this is insane.

Exactly. Besides none of the parties will legalize prostitution besides the Libertarian Party so that point is moot. But as the economy will flourish under a Conservative government, that means people will have more discretionary income to spend on hobbying. That is a win win for both SPs and clients.

When you place a portfolio in a “blind trust” the manager has a fiduciary responsibility to the client. They can buy, sell as they see fit.
In theory, since everyone seems to hold Brookfield shares, they could in theory “ask” the Fiduciary to liquidate Brookfield & others that they held. Unclear whether they can make a public announcement.
Real Estate is problematic.
With a Blind Trust, the owner should only see the dollar value of the entire portfolio, with no details.

With Trump it’s impossible since he owns Real Estate & businesses with his name on it and directs business to them.
LIV golf and Saudis, etc.
Million dollar bribes from Bezos, Zuckerberg.
$280M+ from Musk.
Crypto scams. Pardons for drug dealers, fraudsters, sexual assailants & violent criminals.
Pardoning Kushner’s father and appointing him Ambassador to France is an insult.
The 1st time Trump pretended to put his assets in a revocable trust controlled by his idiot sons. The “Chinese Wall” was bamboo.
I hope we can agree this is a joke & insane.

A legitimate Asset Manager which Carney presumably used, he’s ex Goldman Sachs, would not risk violating the privacy of the Trust, as it would put their licenses in jeopardy. Individuals and companies could be fined and/or banned.
(I was licensed in the US & don’t know the specifics of Canadian Securities laws.)

This was Mark Carney's response about Rebel News appearing at the post debate scrum.

English debate is finished.

So...has anyone's opinions changed after the English debate?

My opinion remains the same. I will say do that Clowney continues to be evasive and is very vague. He answered by not answering the questions. Like the part when Poilievre confronted Clowney about him being the economic advisor for 5 years, he dodged the question, he did not answer it. His vision of Canada is vague. He is wishy washy. I do not trust this guy. Trudope is still a MP and was canvassing for the Liberal party. I would not be surprised if Trudeau was calling the shots behind closed doors. People are voting with emotion vs facts. My two cents.

If I may...

Cons dropped the ball on this election, had so much momentum in Jan, just to squabble it to a guy thats not even in politics. It just goes to show no matter how many slogans, rebranding, right wing media influence to make Carney look bad. PP is the most unlikeable politician in Canada. For those numbers to sway like they did...

fucking LOL
