Harper heads the IDU, dude is pushing it globally. It’s been long enough that we forget the Harper years, lots of hints of things we’re seeing now

Tories will be even pissier than usual if there was a legit coalition government, hell it’s even in the wording of what Pierre sent Jagmeet, that the s&c is propping up something that wasn’t elected and the like, literally the same shit they did back in the Harper years.

Shocking, a Harper minister sounding like Harper.

I’d love something like a Niagara - Kitchener go line and have Hamilton be a hub, really. I recently looked into commuting to Toronto for work, Yeah no, it’s so bad for us non GTA but still Golden horseshoe people.

Add on a path to citizenship + protections, tfw program has a history of abuse, https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/prince-edward-island/pei-temporary-foreign-workers-open-permit-part-one-1.6534796 https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/temporary-foreign-workers-vulnerability-noted-in-sexual-harassment-case-1.3089970 https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/hamilton/headlines/who-s-looking-out-for-tim-hortons-temporary-foreign-workers-1.1282019

These go back to 2012 and these are just some cherry picked headlines, entire program needs to be dismantled, or at least fundamentally changed. We’ve known about these issues for years, there’s no excuse.

I’m probably over remembering, but even 5 km/hour would do for a lot of commutes if you could slow charge at home and work, just at home would go a long way to push needing to go to a charging station.

I’m totally in favour of higher amp circuits being available, just thinking that there’s not as big of a barrier as some people suggest there is.

Seriously, the 120v everywhere is a big step, afaik you’ll get 8-10 km per hour on a standard wall plug (depends on model obviously) just plugging in wall at work for the day would more than recoup the charge needed to get to work for most people. We still need some fast chargers but slow charging is totally practical for how most people use their vehicles every day, need to change your mindset to keep it topped up instead of refill when empty like ICE, but it’s totally doable.

The Tories have been attacking Trudeau from the outset though, I know people from when I lived in Calgary that still blame Trudeau Sr. for a lot of their problems so Trudeau got that from the outset.

Historically we have red Tories but imo the “big tent” of the CPC is just reform 2.0 and while they’re still there (I recall Michael Chong for example being one of the few people who acknowledged climate change and had a plan in his platform when he ran for leadership) it’s still definitely reform party at its core. I had hoped the PPC would peel off the more hard-line side of the party and they could stop courting them but yeah, that didn’t happen.

We’re an exporter though of the hardliners, I brought up Harper and the IDC a while ago but I kinda forgot about the og Preston Manning who Farage in the uk modeled his recent campaign after and is an admirer of. We like to point at the states for the shift in our Tories but we’re absolutely more than capable of trailblazing ourselves…

Gave him a majority with record low turnout…
