The federal Liberals are seeing a dive in popularity among younger voters, once the core of their base, falling 23 points behind the Conservatives by the end of August, according to new polling from Nanos Research.
The part I do not understand is why the press have chosen Squinty McProudBoy and his base of racists, assholes, idiots, fascists, nazis, white supremacists, misogynists, and anti choice jerks. Also zero policies other than Trudeau bad. Plus he is a rich entitled land baron who has never held a job outside politics. trump lite is not what Canada needs or will ever need.
Canadian millennials are more likely to face the brunt of a wavering labour market as most face mounting debt with an income that fails to keep up with inflation, according to a report from RBC Economics....
Perhaps I did it wrong. I was born in 1954, followed all the rules, went to school, got a job, got married, had kids. I was retired the first time I held a thousand dollars in my hands. Thanks to my youngest son and his wife’s generosity I am living in the in-law suite in his and his wife’s home. My expenses are my rent and whatever I spend on food and fuel for my vehicle. I have more expendable wealth than at any time in my life with less income. It is because I have all I need and do not buy more things.

I am buying from the same guy I began buying from in 1966. He has a fantastic product at an extremely reasonable price. If he raised his prices to what the legal market is charging I would still buy from him due to the better product. I bought one legal gram on the first day it was legal as I wanted the container.
A Volusia County woman suspected of killing her 79-year-old roommate allegedly doused herself in soda in an attempt to erase possible evidence on her body, according to an arrest affidavit.
With a steady lead in the polls and a healthy war chest of political donations, the Conservative Party is rolling out a trio of new advertisements that are being viewed as aiming to redefine and soften Pierre Poilievre's image and messaging.
There is a reason why I can say Squinty McProudBoy and everyone knows whom I am talking about. His only concern is with his white supremacist “base” and his “Trudeau bad” as his only plan on governing Canada.
I gave up on movies the moment jar jar binks appeared on screen. I walked out and have never been back. However when I did watch movies, I always watched to the end of the credits as the musicians were always last. I am a musician.

I mistrust polls. Is this a legitimate poll or is this propaganda aimed at Biden voters? The message is that you don’t have to bother voting because your choice is leading the poll. Vote anyway.
