    Freedom was a given to the younger generation, we never had to fight for it so we just expect it. They just want cheaper housing options and free education, equal rights for all, but can't give up their Starbucks coffee and 2k phones.

    PP is a great speaker and very witty, while the Libs have been totally twitty! If another run was to be judged and we vote again for the PC party I would vote him in for leader. I had a great moment to meet Ms. Lynn and a trully confident person and listened to my words like someone said she needs more experence, but not much more.

    This is completely fundamental and worth fighting for.

    ...but...

    The trouble starts when equal rights get warped into equal outcome to justify taking from those who are doing better than you (because they get out of bed in the morning). But don't ever admit it's your fault because you didn't get out of bed and make something of yourself. No, you need handouts because of, like oppression and stuff. Ya, it must be that.

    Unfortunately, you're probably correct in your assessment. Culture in this country has become increasingly guarded and safety focused, shielding generations of people from stress points and uncertainties. Everyday and trivial inconveniences have been now magnified to become significant adversities. As a point in case, Canadians on the whole were very quick to cede their basic rights during the COVID-19 pandemic, with only a vocal minority objecting to government overreach.

    I live about a 35 minute drive north of Toronto, and am the most Conservative person I know. Generalizing to make a point I'm sure, but comments like this get a bit tedious. I get the sentiment, and feel trapped by the voting power Ontario/Quebec have too. I suspect that's what you meant?

    Regardless, PP IS a breath of fresh air and I was disappointed he backed-out of the leadership race. If memory serves, it had to do with family=nobody can fault him for that. While I gobble-up videos of him putting the gears to our vapid, stunned, self-serving PM...I also wonder how he'd fare IN a run for head-office here. Canadians clearly have an appetite for platitudes, lies, government money, hugs, selfies with the drama teacher, etc. I believe most Canadians are not political at all, and are drawn to the drama teacher's "reassuring" rhetoric. I think PP would need to find a balance between his approach...and the BS the average Liberal Canadian wants to hear.

    Feel almost nauseous typing that, but we ever want a conservative PM in office again...

    Yes a family man who didn't want to commit more to the job than he already does. Unfortunate for the rest of us, because he has no fear attacking jt and his parties lies.

    Agreed. Great to see such a well-prepared, on-point politician speaking truth to power. Equally frustrating to hear dip-sh*t's replies though. It's the one thing I'll never understand about question period=how a politician can get asked a direct question, and there are no consequences when they give the exact opposite. When PP repeats the question multiple times and gets multiple non-answers, it illustrates the point in living color.

    How that is just let go by the speaker of the house has turned the house into a clownshow. It's a slap in the face when there is no accountability from anyone in power having to answer questions or produce a budget or evidence of where all the spending money is going...
