New Canadian Politics Thread

The latest promise. Not sure how much this moves the needle. I would think something towards post secondary subsidies would be better received.

 
there’s a teachers college issue.

And, yes, a buildings issue. The school boards can’t plan for neighbourhood ebbs and flows and the city/prov practically never require developers to build schools in exchange for building permits.

Kids who live in new builds in high density areas (school entitlement is grandfathered based on house / building age) are getting bussed to schools that are 20+ mins away.

No idea how they’d do that with schools packed to the brim.

2 things really...first is that it's election season, if you're not promising ridiculous things when going against someone who will promise ridiculous things, you're not even trying.

Second is that when they don't achieve it, as long as they've improved the problem, it's a net win. Worry about the 2026 election in 2026.

I'm just happy that we're getting ridiculous liberal/progressive promises instead of buck a beer shit
 
I can't figure out what's more depressing , the parties pathetically unrealistic election promises or the electorate that not only can't figure out or don't care they're being lied too but need to be lied too to cast their vote for a particular party.

Elections are turning into the Fast franchise , send a Fiero into space? Sure why not,lol.

anyway, i'm wondering how long until Anne shows up to tell us she's still sitting on the fence while taking shots at everyone but the cons? lol

Every politician would’ve faced a tough time during a global pandemic, sure, but it’s the sitting on pandemic money/underspending on health care in a public health emergency that is a total nonstarter for me.

Education and health care are huge for me so at least pretend to care.
