Nobody deserves a majority less than Trudeau. His policies, ethics and decision-making have not helped Canada.

Forget about democracy in Canada, Liberals have long established different human rights for every ethnic, racial, gender and age group.

Every party should have a short leash.
Let's hope for another minority government.

This proves he cares more about holding onto power than our wellbeing. Pandemic is not the time.

if employers want to mandate the jab.. people need to ask their companies medical insurance if they cover adverse reactions or sick time.. i don't understand how they can force a experiment and most are ok with it

[okthen]

I maintain that investing in stocks is still one of the very best means of doubling or holding your funds. Who thinks otherwise? Let’s debate. Lol

[tabtn]

To Governor General, please don’t dissolve the house to give so-called snap election advantage to liberal party. I used to be a liberal support but Justin Trudeau’s wastage of tax payers’ money in vote buying compelled me not to support this party anymore.

Make big pharma legally liable for adverse vaccine reactions and people may reconsider not getting vaccinated. You really gotta ask why remove legal liability?

[Spica]

Trudeau must go! Now is our chance. Don’t worry about who or how bad, we can shuffle them out in 4 years. Bring Canada back! Vote Trudeau out!

[leolennox]

The Conservative candidate for Yukon has just been barred from running by the party elites ... something that happens in all parties. Don't we shame other countries as undemocratic when they disqualify candidates?

[johnbrowne]

The thought of Trudeau hanging on to power makes me sick. Come on Canada, show some backbone.

[maiannchan]

It won't turn out good at all.God please help Canada 🙏

[Man-oqpf]
