He cannot prorogue parliament, only the GG can.

He prorogued it, then asked her.

1. Harper took the $15 billion per year budget surplus Paul Martin created and turned it into a $15-20 billion /year deficit via grift and tax cuts. Trudeau's first budget was short on the heels of his win and works as a decent snapshotnof how horrendous Harper was.

2. Recall that Harper tied foreign aid to the recipient governments outlawing abortion.

3. He signed a poison pill contract with the fucking Saudis and helped them destroy Yemen. Trudeau couldnt get out of the deal. The Houthis are partly Harper's fault.

4. The Toronto G7 security budget was stolen from by his government ministers and used for pet projects like homes and Gazebos.

5. His party defrauded Canadians with the robocall scandal where they tried to steal donations intended for other parties.

6. He forced scientists to put all press releases and papers through his staff. If they didnt support his agenda the papers were cancelled and the scientists fired.

7. He illegally prorogued parliament whem he was about to lose a vote of confidence, setting the stage for Trudeau to do the same fucking thing.

8. He contracted out Vancouver's harbour control to a remote facility in Comox. This is the busiest port in Canada and the 2nd busiest in the American continents. And he has them working via remote cameras instead of a full control tower.

9. He put millions of lives at risk when he sold the Vancouver Coast Guard base to developers. Trudeau in part won because he promised to buy it back (and did).

10. He illegally fired half of the NEB amd replaced them with oil industry lobbyists.

11. He ignored native land rights(and environmental laws) when it came to pipelines. This led to Kinder Morgan faking bankruptcy and is why the pipeline took a decade to build.

12. His chief of staff(disgraced from the G7 security budget thing) while working for then-BC premier Christy Clark illegally helped a wanted person escape to China under a made up government position.

13. We survived the 2008 financial crash Despite Harper's best efforts. He executed massive deregulation efforts as soon as he gained power, but by then the crash was already starting to happen, so our big banks were only minorly affected. The person who helped us avoid the crash was Paul Martin. Harper had nothing to do with helping us.

14. Vastly expanded the TFW rules to create the current situation. Blame also goes to Trudeau for not fixing them despite us knowing they were busted.

15. Destroyed Canada's international reputation by bowing to the US on everything

Steven Harper is easily the single worst entity in Canadian Politics to have existed.

Harper cut taxes to his rich buddies and then hid it for 8 years by literally selling off the government's assets and closing departments. One of the penultimate choises was to shut down the primary coast guard base for the entire port of Vancouver. The 2nd largest port in North America behind LA.

He also allowed the CCP to steal 5G tech from Nortel that happens to be how China leapfrogged to modern tech. They stole it all from Canada.

Texas, without the gerrymandering is close to, if not outright, a blue state.

Putin is, backed by Trump's big oil owners, for different reasons.

Hungary, via Orban, will never give on his master Putin. As Hungary is a NATO member, this is a completely empty threat.

If Europe does give up Russian oil, the logical alternative is US oil. Thus enriching the US at Europe's expense. Then the next goalpost he's already revealed would be punishing tariffs on China, in another attempt to enslave Europe to the US orbit.

What really needs to happen is Carney needs to go 200% on Energy East(in Canada). Get as many pipelines to the Maritimes and build the best oil port we can there, catching up on 18 years of ignoring that part of the country. Europe needs oil and LNG and Canada has everything they need.

Here you go on that essay I think: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZ77Qn53xhw

If only the creator hasn't turned out to be completely insane.

Because it's 1023am somewhere

If its on the road in BC, it needs to be licensed with ICBC, unless you're a recent transplant from elsewhere. Exceptions exist for e-scooters and ebikes, but they also aren't technically allowed on open road.

ICBC's base insurance looks expensive, but it delivers better base insurance than most other places extended insurance.

Its the same logic as your post. Just said in the 1960s. By the Justice minister of the Canadian government.

There is no place for the state in the bedrooms of the nation. What is done in private between (consenting) adults doesn't concern the Criminal Code.

Pierre Trudeau, then Justice Minister for Canada: on the decriminalization of homosexuality.

There is a gulf of Mexico sized difference between removing the EV mandate that Milhouse-PP's US masters want.

And pushing it down the road so that the Canadian Auto Industry doesnt have to retool itself alongside fighting Trump's idiotic tariffs at the same time.
