The last thing we need is for the election to get into a 'what are you going to do for me quagmire' - we cannot afford topics or discussions on basic income, waiving the tax payment on CERB, or any other policy that will cost us money. As a nation we are broke. We are living well past our means and need to have a come of Jesus moment, and as painful as it will be, correct the situation before it is too late.

But that being said there will be the political opportunists that will want an election BEFORE the cheque arrives to pay for this wonderful event called COVID.

And pay we will, all of us.

Bushmoose........Meghan was referencing a poet that wrote about the common Irish family (poor, common and humble) but yet he came from a wealthy family - daddy was a lawyer and mommy came from a wealthy ship building family.

........I wonder who that sounds like? Justin perhaps?

I,am afraid I did not express myself very clearly trying for a brief reply.What I meant by saying that is having a minority party
curtailed is good for democracy and if the NDP holds that balance it helps with checks and balances.It would be a bad time for an election and I very much doubt the NDP would go that route.

At this point in time,I agree. People are broke,scared and very angry which colors their thought processes leading to irrational,knee-jerk reactions. An election under these circumstances will not end well. We only need to look south of the border to see what kind of shyte show awaits us if we make the same mistakes.

If they go out of business, 90% of their supporters will vote liberal. So don't rub your hands in glee at their demise.
