LPC leadership race - 2025

The vacation on the Aga Khan’s island
SnC Lavalin
The firing of JWR
The WE charity
Numerous ethics issues
Virtue signalling to allies.

Any one care to add?
Approx $400M stolen from the SDTC fund (aka Green Slush Fund) by various LPC MP's, funneled into their own pockets

(They awarded the money to companies they themselves owned, for work that was never completed or even undertaken)

The total lack of ANY accountability is mind boggling. Where did that money go?



Spent roughly $100M buying precisely 0 firearms through this 'gun buy back program'

How do you spend $100M to buy nothing??

Where did that money go?



Increased personal income tax. Increased capital gains tax. Introduced the carbon tax, and increases it annually.

(Yet somehow we still had to borrow more money in the last 6 years than the previous 156 years combined...)

Where did THAT money go??


...


The Trudeau Foundation scandal

(Random Chinese business people, with links to the PRC, donating $500k to his foundation "because they thought his dad was a swell guy...")


Keeping Canadian citizens who had been illegally imprisoned in China, imprisoned for several months longer than necessary so he could use their situation to help win the last election.

(For those of you who have access to, or are able to find, the CSIS recorded telephone conversation...it's pretty damning...)



Introduced government censorship legislation, and had to RELY on subversion to do it.

(Introduced to the stacked Senate before the HoC, then had to rely on the NDP to pass it in the HoC. He did this against the wishes of the entire population he claims to represent.)


Opened the gates to mass, somewhat unvetted immigration - which in turn has amplified the cost of living crisis, congestion, possible terrorist events, etc

(I'm not anti-immigration at all. But there's been a few folks arrested lately who had clear ties to terrorist organizations, and who were plotting attacks both here and in the US)


...


Removed Terry Fox (and others) from the Canadian passport. Replaced Terry Fox with himself...


Molested at least one of his high school students, then paid her & her mom off and silenced them with a NDA


(There could have been more that just never came forward. We can't rule it out, since it's been confirmed that it DID happen at least once...)


Came after RAdm. Lloyd Robertson for pushing through Asterix for us.

(Directed the RCMP to investigate him even though no crime had been suspected of being committed - and had to pay out a handsome chunk of $$$ when his personal hissy fit was discovered for what it was)


...


Subsidized Canadian mainstream media, then weaponized the media to overlook his blatant corruption

(Also known as bribing Canadian media companies to turn a blind eye to his corruption, which they seemed to happily do for a while because of the $$$)



Minimal action or even support for law enforcement to crack down on foreign interference, re PRC 'police stations' that have popped up.

(This also applies to organizations like United Front, for example)


...


Those are just off the top of my head.

I'll come back to this later as my brain currently hurts & I'm needing bed.


But for now this is my 2 cents. Cheers 🍻
 
Sorry Lumber...

But a few speeches on his way out of office IN NO WAY cancels out basically 10 years of blatant corruption that has left the country far worse off than when he became PM.
Just to be clear @GBH99, I'm not saying it absolves him of his mistakes and poor decisions, but rather that it will mask them. Sure, those that REALLY hated Trudeau won't ever forgot, but for the many proles who still support him, and especially for the proles who initially supported him but started getting cold feet in the latter half of his term, this is what will stick in their mind.

Example. Pierre Trudeau often appears on the short list of both greatest PM ever and greatest Canadian ever. I even wrote an essay in my university history class who's thesis was "why PT is the greatest PM ever." I thought it was well researched and written, even if (like all essays) it was utter bullshit, but I only got a 55% on it because, at least I believe, my professor hated PT and thought he was the WORST PM ever. I had no idea because everyone spoke of PT with such rosey idealism.
 
Any thoughts if Carney announces anything, anything at all in new funding, contracts, capabilities for the CAF before the election is called?

Thanks for the list, I have taken the liberty of printing it and pinning it up as a constant reminder. I had forgotten a few of the older ones.
 
PET was not the worst PM

That goes to his son JT.

The Natty Post agrees with you...

FIRST READING: Canadians hated Pierre Trudeau, but he left things in better shape than his son​

The elder Trudeau was deeply unpopular when he left office 40 years ago, but with far fewer of the crises defining his son's tenure


The elder Trudeau left his premiership under remarkably similar circumstances to those now faced by his son. Pierre faced levels of public revulsion that were virtually unprecedented. Even the pro-Trudeau columnist Tami Nolan greeted his 1984 departure with the prediction that he “would be remembered for all time as the most reviled personally.”

Canada in 1984 had a debt load, an international reputation and a military that were in measurably worse shape than when Trudeau started. Most notably, Trudeau faced a revitalized Conservative opposition that would swiftly hand his Liberals one of their most humiliating defeats.

But for all the messes left behind by 16 years of Pierre Trudeau, Canada in 1984 lacked many of the most potent national crises that now define his son’s third term. Below, a quick guide to how Canada in the wake of its first Trudeau was arguably in better shape than today.


Houses were actually quite affordable

This is probably the most immediate disparity between modern-day Canada and the Canada of 40 years ago. When Pierre Trudeau left office, it was pretty easy for Canadians to afford a respectable house, even if they only earned a single middle-class income. In mid-1984, the average price of a Canadian home was an inflation-adjusted $220,000 — about one-third of the current average


 
Disclaimer: this is not an equivocation of Trump and Carney, it is an excercise in perspective.

More times than I can count over the last months, multiple posters have been quick to absolve the American electorate over selecting DJT as President. They empathize with the choice, seeing them as being (my words) stuck between a rock and a hard place, with the DNC choice of candidate being to blame for steering them back to Trump. It's their (the dems) fault, this all could have been avoided if they ran someone more to the centre, someone more serious. If only they chose someone to win rather than to take advantage of percieved weakness on the other side and push a more polarized agenda than the people actually want.

Over the past few weeks of polling reversal, I have seen a strong sentiment of lashing out at the stupidity of the Canadian electorate for considering going back to the LPC, epithets of "getting the government we deserve".

I haven't kept a spreadsheet, but my impression is that there has been a decent overlap between those posting A and those posting B.

As a red tory, former CPC member considering voting red for the first time in my life- the irony of that overlap frustrates the hell out of me.

The leadership race is over and the new LPC leader will be sworn in on Friday. Is there anything related before this thread is locked?
 
Is there a saying if we get fooled a third time by a Trudeau tanking our finances and pitting Canadians against each other?
