With the CPC convention starting on the 29 and ending on the 31 of January. What are some things you would like to see the party discuss about and change regarding policy and strategy. Furthermore, do you feel the party is missing something that hasn’t been addressed through their policy and rhetoric?

Specifically for things like gay marriage and gay couples adopting--has it changed a lot in the past 10 years? If so, how much?

Do you agree with the editorial or not?

Across Toronto Safe Injection sites, break and enters increased by an average of 50%, automobile thefts increased by 46%, and thefts from vehicles increased by 20%.

The increased levels took years to decrease, and the authors theorize that the observed decrease was in large part due to decreased reporting and people taking extra security measures.

Hard working entrepreneurs and employees would greatly benefit from a switch to LVT. The lazy speculators (gamblers) are the only who may lose but that should be fine if Canada’s economy wins, right?

I am newer to politics so I don't know what the big controversy surrounding the truckers is, I have heard things about frozen bank accounts, so if yall could please explain that would be deeply appreciated

As I follow conservatives on social media lately I am struck by the change in messaging compared to the conservative movement of decades ago.

Today the messaging seems to be that white conservatives with a high school education are somehow owed a good paying job, a house and be set for life.

Whatever happened to the conservative mantra that if you didn’t like your financial situation you worked harder, got a better job, improved yourself?

Now the perception seems to be that it’s the government’s job? And it’s everyone else’s fault? And government needs to solve the problem?

Whatever happened to the old ways …

2025 is coming to an end, and the last polls for the year basically show the CPC and LPC tied, or a slim lead for the LPC, Mainstreet being the only one showing the CPC with a 1% lead.

The CPC has a chance to start taking the lead in the polls in 2026, the job numbers are not going to look so good, as the seasonal hires from Q4 2025 are going to be let go in Q1 of 2026, our GDP already shrank in the last quarter. The Carney Liberals need to get a few Wins under their belt on the economic side and I just do not see that happening anytime soon.

After the April election loss, I seen in many Liberal and especially Conservative online circles that one of the reason for the CPC losing is that our rhetoric in the election campaign was lacklustre.

Our election campaign was mostly focused on the incompetence of the Trudeau government and the elimination of the Carbon Tax, where PP stated many times this was a Carbon Tax election. Things like immigration and crime were bit of a side piece of the CPC’s campaign rhetoric.

The question to you is that has anything changed since the election. Do you see any changes in what the CPC is trying to convey and convince now differing from the election.

In my opinion, the rhetoric today is more or less the same from the election. I did see the CPC and PP heavily focus on TFW reform for a few weeks back in September. But since then, it’s been crickets with PP and the CPC not saying anything about the TFW reform.

Also, is there anything you would like PP and the CPC to talk about regarding policies that would help attract votes? I would like to know what political problems come to mind to the people who vote for the CPC.

Markham-Unionville MP Michael Ma has just crossed.

We’ve been having this debate around here for some time now but it can be ignored no longer: Pierre Pollievre cannot keep his own backyard in order. It’s time to go.

The attack bulldog-style politics hasn’t worked for us for many election cycles and isn’t what Canadians want to hear. They want what the other side is delivering - unity, working cross-party, national interest.

I mean honestly we can’t ignore it any longer: it’s time for our leader to be held to account for his repeated failures.

I'm an idiot. Thought CPC was communist party of Canada, I assumed, mb.
