Good luck she's batshit crazy.

I think she will be warmly welcomed in our capital

She's from Alaska, they're practically honorary Canadians in lifestyle and climate. I think it's the best fit for her.

Not really considering Canadians are notoriously liberal and Alaska is pretty much a republican and conservative state.

Not true at all

Not true at all

Are you disputing the fact that the Liberal party in Canada has the majority of the seats in the House of Commons?

 

[Mudug-Madman]

Not true at all

KEK, are you high again warya? Our Conservative party is closer to the Democrats than the Republicans on most issues. And that's AFTER they absorbed and got co-opted by the batshit reform party. The old Progressive Conservative party was even more to the left.

The average Canadian would be considered a pinko-commie by republicans.

What's your point? It's a democracy. Parties change. Conservatives ruled for 10 years before them and 10 years again before the Liberals before them.

Absolute lies.

Conservatives wanted to ban the niqab, bring in a barbaric cultural tipline, not fund abortions in developing countries that take Canadian aid, I can go on and on.

Actually the Conservatives are even more conservative than the Republicans. They have reduced federal personal and corporate taxes even lower than Bush and even lower than what Republicans will want to go.

My point is because Canada is a democracy citizens democratically elected the Liberal party into office. Which means majority of Canadians are therefore liberal.

Stop trolling. Conservative governments were elected around 50% of the time.

Liar liar macawis on fire. The conservatives only wanted to ban the niqab for federal employees and a citizenship ceremonies. And personal taxes in Canada are MUCH higher than in the US. Also most federal conservative caucus members fully support gay marriage, while the republicans try their best to weaken it in the US by making it a 'states rights' issue, which is code for "we can't fully ban it federally but we can take it to the state level so that they can ban it". On most issues the Conservatives agree more with the democrats. And that's after Stephen Harper tried his best to pull them more to the right. And when he did that Canadians voted them out.

Canadians are way more lefty than Americans. Justin Trudeau would have a super hard time getting elected in most liberal states because of his policies. Forget federally.

Your idea of conservativeness in Canada is nothing compared to the American republican ideas of conservativeness. Canada's conservative party is far closer to the middle. I would say Canadian conservatives have far more in common with American establishment democrats. Canadian conservatives are liberal in terms of social issues such as the LGBTQ community, gender equality, etc.

@Mudug-Madman is very dishonest and shameless. He brings lies while I bring facts.

Trudeau was voted in because people wanted change. No one wants to see the same faces again after 10 years. It's normal. It's called being tired. They only voted for him because he's closer to the Conservatives. They would never vote NDP.

That's funny considering many republicans would like a flat tax rate of 10-15%. And the conservative Canadians at least want to tax the lower tax brackets less than the higher tax brackets. And republicans all most always cut taxes for the rich and wealthy corporations. Which in return ends up stagnating the income growth which than stagnates the overall economy.

Why didn't they do it then? They had ample opportunity. They have been able to push much more super controversial things before. This would be the least controversial thing even though there would be opposition to it on the other side.

@Mudug-Madman has been humilated with my facts.

First of all, those polls are bullshit. Every poll said Hillary Clinton would win in a landslide, except for Nate Silver who had her on election day at 70% or so, and look what happened. Also the national post poll has been discredited.

As for the taxes. That just income tax. The US has no federal sales tax. While Canada does. That makes a huge difference. Not to mention eco fees and all sorts of other hidden charges. Also US taxes have far more loopholes and exemptions. The US tax code is retarded complex.

 

[Mudug-Madman]

You also didn't refute my point about the Niqab and gay marriage, which is telling.

Conservatives in Canada leave gay marriage alone, Republicans in the US wish to weaken it.

Also, people wanted change because they were sick of Harper. The don't vote for change just for the sake of it. If they believe the person is doing a good job they'll keep them in. Look at Trudeau Sr., who was PM for a combined 15 years, or Mackenzie King who was PM for even longer.

Not really unless they want to alienate their newly found base of "working class whites". It would be hugely controversial and would devastate the US economy. Worse than the catastrophe Bush had on the US economy due to his huge corporate payouts and drastic tax breaks for the top ten percent.
