He is not getting reelected.
Based on Today's polls, it is HIGHLY likely the Trudeau will get re-elected.
The Federal government does not have the power to ban anything in municipalities, city's, or towns. Only the premier's of the province have that power.
You are on the right track, but not quite right. The government DOES have the power to ban things under the criminal law in municipalities cities or towns. What it can't do is download the ability to make those laws to the municipalities. Parliament could create a process where by towns can request the ban, and the government may or may not accept.
What it absolutely cant do is let municipalities create their own criminal law.
And you are also correct that anything to be done in relation to municipalities MUST be with the consent of the premieres. ANd with 7 out of ten premieres being recently elected Conservatives and one Green, it is highly unlikely that Trudeau is going to get very far negotiating with premieres over something that will significantly increase policing costs in this municipalities without any increased funding for law enforcement.
This promise to let cities ban handguns is a blatantly gratuitous promise akin to the failed promise for electoral reform. Its the kind of thing that any adult who is actually familiar knows that it is A) virtually impossible, and B) completely impossible by an inexperienced dilettante like Trudeau who lacks the skill and intelligence and competent team to pull off such a difficult proposal.
How exactly is trudeau ###ist? He appointed more women to cabinet positions and positions of influence than any other prime minister in history.
How is it racist? Some costumes that were part of plays or to portray characters? Intent matters a great deal and people of colour who were with him at the time have said they were not offended or didn't see anything wrong with it. Now if you want to talk racism, we can look at Conservative and PPC candidates that associate with white supremacists or are anti immmigrant etc.
Irresponsible? Sure. On some fronts absolutely. But that's not exclusive to the Liberals and evidence suggests the Conservatives would also be irresponsible on a number of fronts.
###ist because when his mail cabinet ministers tell him that his ideas are bad, he listens to them, and when his female cabinet ministers tell him that his ideas are bad, he fires them and kicks them out of caucus.
As for blackface being racist, you must have been living under a rock for the last 100 years. Even Trudeau himself said that the practice of blackface is ALWAYS racist. Intent? The intent of blackface has always been to profit, either financially, personally or socially, from the telling of stories and portrayal of stories that are not your own, which is fraud, while specifically denying the ability of the people who identify with those stories from telling them themselves.
Historically blackface started because black people were legally prohibited from acting in performances geared towards white audiences. Have you heard of slavery? Have you heard of Segregation? Blackface specifically grew out of the consequences of those policies. Regardless of whether Trudeau intended to offend people, the point is that he intended to use those stories and those narratives in order to endear himself to an audience of rich white people for personal gain.
Further, it does not matter that one person was not offended. What matters is that millions of people WERE offended.
And while many people were quick to excuse trudeau of this transgression because it was almost twenty years ago, it bears repeating that blackface was known as a racist practice and has been actively protested by social justice advocates (like the kind Trudeau claims to be), for more than 100 years.
It is unfathomable to me that I could have learned in school in the 80s that blackface was a detestable and racist practice, and that Trudeau as a teacher in 2001 could not have known that this would be offensive. Lets not forget that in 2019, Trudeau apologized by blaming his ignorance on white privilege, as if society was to blame for his ignorance, and limited his apology to only those instances for which he had been caught, and then lied about how many times he had done it, before finally admitting that he has no idea how many times he did.
Using the fact that he did this as costume or to play a role is ignorant of the fact that playing a role that wasn't yours to play was the whole basis of blackface, and its rejection by black communities in the first place, and is also ignorant of the fact that on at least two occasions he wasn't even playing a role in any production, but had simply decided of his own volition to go full racist when no one else in the room was going along with it.
Trying to draw a connection between political irresponsibility on the part of an entire party and a consistent pattern of simultaneously playing identity politics while engaged in fraudulent cultural and racial appropriation is beyond the pail.
Trudeau's PMO and control over cabinet is even tighter than under Harper. While you could argue that a liberal party WITHOUT trudeau might on the balance be a decent party, there is simply no argument to be made that the current liberal government is inseparable from the lies fraud and corruption the leader. And no other party leader can come to anywhere near that degree of hypocrisy or moral corruption.
I also see people mentioning ethics and SNC Lavalin. Give me a break. The Conservatives have always been about big business. If you for a minute think the Cons wouldn't have pushed for a deal for SNC you are a fool or a hypocrit. The only difference would have been that the Conservative AG would have been on board , a deal would have happened, and we would have likely never heard about it. Don't talk to me about ethics with either party. Almost all politicians are crooked, regardless of party affiliation. The Conmservatives don't have any better record there. Harper was notorius for trying to quash information, bury scandals, sneak legislation through in omnibus bills, prorogue parlaiment to avoid votes etc. Scheer has shown no evidence he would be any different. Add to that the swing to the right by the party instead of being more center right and it's a bad recipe for Canada.
Don't get me wrong, I don't like the job the Liberals have done either. They've done several things I disagree with. This gun ban is stupid and pointless. I agree there. But there are things I value more than guns that I think the Conservatives would put in jeopardy. I wish there was a viable third alternative. But the reality is we have two choices and my conclusion is that, while both are bad choices, the Liberals are the slightly less bad choice overall.
No, the conservatives have never been big business. THey have typically been for small business. Either way, favouring the job creators in our country is not a problem. The problem is that while COnservatives choose to support the economy, the liberals in SNC have chosen a single company over all the others, and they have done so not for reasons that benefit canada, but for reasons that benefit themselves.
I think it should be pretty clear that the CPC would have let a Quebec based company accused of fraud and bribery in relation to the son of a Libyan dictator go to trail and be sentenced without interference. Feel free to post a reference to any comment made by any member of the CPC that intervening unlawfully in the criminal trial of SNC was the right thing to do.
The rest of your post is a nonsensical self-contradictory rant devoid of any reference to actual facts, except for the fact that you think your contrived issues with the Conservatives are worth losing all your Actual guns over. Congratulations. You have drunk deep the liberal cool-aid. You are afraid of the liberals invented boogeyman. You are convinced to trade your actual security for the illusion of safety. And with such flawed skills in perception and decision making, you are exactly the state-dependant drone that the liberals need you to be. And before you think this is a baseless ad hominem, remember you are the one who said that the liberals, who have actually done things you disagree with, are the preferable choice to a conservative party whose actual policies you are clearly unaware of.
Feel free to report back to us in a few years and let us know if losing your guns was worth those other things that were more important to you. I suspect eventually under the liberals you will in fact have lost both.
Just kidding. I know I've been hearing that my entire life ("It's not all black and white ______") and I still don't know what it means, lol!
