My thoughts on this are that pp has become the anti-liberal party and if that is his brand he is going nowhere unless Carney makes a HUGE mistake. I am reconsidering the NDP as irrelevant if he maintains this course and he could end up in 3rd place and Avi leading the opposition at the next election as his party abandons him.

I think HSR has flaws and the devil will be in the details but that said pp would be the LAST person I would want to champion any cause at this point with his track record. His association with reality is tenuous at best.

We are the only G7 nation without high speed rail, and PP wants to keep it that way.

Buffoon.

What he wants is whatever the oil and gas industry that is owned by US interests wants.

Paperboy never had a real job in his life.
