I support extending the vote to permanent residents or lowering the voting age if it can be shown it will increase support for the parties I vote for, if not it's a bad move.

Should a woman plan her life around a guy that wants to hang out with her but can’t commit to marriage? Sounds like wanting your cake and eating it too.

Yeah, that's the beginning and end of what's going on, at least in this thread.

You don't (or shouldn't) get to disenfranchise an entire class of persons because you disagree with their politics.

If the objection is that some of these persons aren't really residents, then craft your voting laws to protect against that, but someone like the aforementioned forty-year resident should not have to sacrifice their say simply because some other resident might prefer policies that favour real estate speculation.

The Supreme Court has been mulling over a case centring on buying alcohol for personal use and transporting it across provincial boundaries. It has the potential for loosening some of the crazy inter-province trade barriers.

So of course those fuckers struck it down!

While upholding the status quo may not seem surprising, a lot of people thought this one stood a chance of winning.

Is not allowing BC wineries to sell directly to customers across the country not a restriction on trade?

This is the limits for various provinces

How often does the scenario come up that someone lives close enough to a liquor store in another province, where liquor is cheaper to make it worth it to actually go on bulk beer runs across borders?

Wouldn’t it be more worth that persons time to just get a group together and petition their province to change the law? Alberta and Manitoba have no limits on the amount of alcohol you can bring back from other provinces.

Secondly what the hell did that guy do to get pulled over by the RCMP in New Brunswick or does the RCMP do random checks of drivers for mass quantities of out of province liquor?

Dear Postess,

The Trudeau Liberals are holding their national policy convention in Halifax this weekend.

They have gathered to discuss the next phase of their radical left-wing agenda to transform Canada into a country you wouldn’t recognize.

Top of their agenda is a call to decriminalize dangerous drugs, like cocaine and heroin.

Earlier today, the Liberal Minister of Justice said she was open to the idea of making cocaine and heroin more available, as soon as she is done legalizing marijuana.

Not satisfied with replacing organized crime for organized Liberals in the marijuana market, the Liberals are also pushing to take over the sex trade.

They have a policy proposal to decriminalize the purchase of sex.

When our Conservative Government re-balanced prostitution laws, we removed penalties placed on victims of the sex trade, while increasing penalties for the people purchasing sex.

Now the Liberals want to lift all those penalties, and it seems, like the push for hard drugs, Canada’s Justice Minister (and Attorney General) is supporting this radical push for legal prostitution.

When the person in charge of enforcing Canada’s laws is busy watering down those laws, you know things have gone off the rails.

It is time to start calling out this radical not so hidden agenda for what it is – dangerous.

They want us to turn back to a time when it was okay to purchase a woman. They want us to turn back to a time when cocaine was sold in soft drinks and opium was available in a brothel.

Help us fight Trudeau’s dangerous agenda.

Make a donation at https://www.rnp-conservative.ca/sex-drugs-and-justin-trudeau and let Trudeau know we won’t let him take us backwards.

Sincerely,

Cheryl Gallant

The Ontario PCs would win a strong majority if a provincial election was held today, and the NDP would form the Official Opposition, a new poll suggests.

Forum Research found that 46 per cent of decided or leaning voters said on April 18 that they would support the Ontario PCs if a vote were held today, compared to 27 per cent for the NDP and 21 per cent for the Liberals.

The PCs strength has been trending in their polls for several years. But the NDP have now come second in six of the firm’s last 11 polls, dating back to June 12-14, 2017.

“The bump in support following the Liberal budget is gone,” Forum Research President Lorne Bozinoff said in a news release. “The (PCs) are back where we’ve seen them for the past year, and Doug Ford looks on track to be Premier in a few months.”

Two days before the poll was conducted, the Ontario NDP released its party platform, calling for universal pharmacare and dental care, higher corporate taxes and the re-purchase of Hydro One to make it public.

Four per cent of respondents said they would vote Green while two per cent expressed support for another party.

Translated into seats, Forum said the PCs would win 94 of 122 available seats, putting them into what Bozinoff calls “super-majority” territory.

Their support is strongest in southwestern Ontario, eastern Ontario and the 905 area.

The NDP would win 23 seats, while the Liberals would win only seven seats, not enough for them to maintain official party status and the privileges it provides at the legislature.

When asked who they thought would win, irrespective of their personal choice, 54 per cent of respondents said they thought the PCs would win, while 19 per cent said the Liberals and 10 per cent said the NDP.

Forum puts Liberal leader Wynne’s approval rating at 18 per cent, PC leader Doug Ford at 37 per cent and Horwath at 37 per cent as well.

Nearly three-quarters of respondents said they disapprove of Wynne’s leadership, while 40 per cent disapprove of Ford and 32 per cent disapprove of Horwath, meaning she is the only one of the three to have a net-favourable view among respondents.

The poll was conducted using interactive voice response technology and reached 1,126 Ontario voters. The data was weighted to reflect the overall demographics of Ontario.

It is considered accurate plus or minus three per cent, 19 times out of 20.
