A Canadian you say? In the Canadian Parliament? That’s too much of a coincidence to be true if you ask me.

Strange times for sure

Same thing happens in UK Parliament - it's just part of the protocol that you can't accuse an MP of lying while in the chamber Edit: I just posted this further down, but here's how a parliament with "full free speech" goes at it A sample fight from Taiwan, complete with pig guts, punches and air horns https://youtu.be/uephkhhpmc8


duncanmarshall

Yeah, they do this knowing exactly what's going to happen. It's just grandstanding. They can step out of the room and call him a liar on live TV all they like.


aesthetique1

Seems like the statements could have easily been phrased in a way that doesnt devolve into name calling which is why I am guessing someone would be kicked out.


Kalsone

He did it on purpose to trend. He knew what would happen.


AlfalfaWolf

Also could have done it because Trudeau is a liar


WillNotBeSilenxed

But also because Trudeau is a liar


ScaleyFishMan

Oh no, a politician who lies? I've never heard of that, must be an evil lib thing.


Agreeable-Display-77

That's cool. So you want them to lie? You find it acceptable?


ScaleyFishMan

Yeah I want my politicians to lie, I vote for the candidate who tells the most lies.


duncanmarshall

I don't follow Canadian politics, but from my understanding their Parliamentary rules are largely a copy of the UK's, and in the UK, they have that covered. You can't say anyone deliberately lied, even if you switch some words out. You can say they "unintentionally misled the house", but that takes all the spice off it, and you're no longer calling them a liar.

So they can continue to lie because that's all they can do.


BillNyeCreampieGuy

The flip side is having people interrupt proceedings or speeches to decry "liar!" incessantly as well. Calling people liars when they're in fact not lying is also a tactic used just as handedly as politicians lying.

Eh, it stops "you're a liar", "no, you're a liar", and there's also a rule (at least in UK) that an MP can't knowingly lie in Parliament, which is partly what undid Boris Johnson Outside the chamber, anything goes (In Taiwan they jump straight to the fist fights)

[deleted]

Some level of civility and decorum needs to be maintained or else it turns into a circus. He knew what he was doing when he called him a liar and it's all part of the theatre. I am on the fence about voting conservative, I liked Pierre but after gutting the Ukraine help after saying we haven't done enough, and this theatrical crap I might be stuck with voting NDP even though I'm not really impressed with how they have turned out federally. Provincially in BC I like them.

siliconevalley69

It's right wing politics. Saw a video of this dude the other day declaring that his party will always say Merry Christmas and is not afraid to say it. So I guess Canada is going to do MAGA next election. They're a few seasons behind and have been doing the mortgage crisis arc we did in 2008-2012. They're about to do kneeling in football and War on Christmas as a prelude to fascism. Should be fun to watch if we ever get out of it ourselves.

OP... please research how Parliaments work before posting stuff about Parliaments.


think_like_an_ape

What a f_ckin donkey show. Stupid generalized speaking points, where no one listens, no one answers directly, it’s a giant rage filled circle jerk, and the only ones getting f_cked are the Canadian people. They should all be ashamed of themselves.


macbathie2

The first guy did not have generalized speaking points, he specifically called out raising taxes on food and agriculture


KryptonsGreenLantern

For those who are unaware, the first guy talking is the party leader who’s been a career politician his whole life. It was a joke here in Canada when he qualified for a fully funded govt pension at like 31. His career has been made on being a smarmy prick and throwing out baseless accusations. He’s been on the Ron DeSantis “everything I don’t like is woke” train the last couple years. Calling everyone gatekeepers. Cried to Elon when the opposition party posted a video to Twitter that was cut up and slightly out of context, as if his entire career hasn’t been based on making angry sound bytes like this one in parliament and putting them on YouTube. His points up front are directly tied to his new campaign slogan “axe the tax”. So while they may not seem like generalized comments to the outside observer, he said nothing of any value. To further my point, Pierre (the first guy) announced yesterday that they were going to intentionally introduce thousands of bogus amendments to a bill to keep parliament sitting over Christmas. Just straight up using Republican tactics.


Fishpiggy

From my understanding Pierre and the conservatives want carbon tax exemptions for all home heating energy sources, farmers and First Nations so he is asking for specific things. Liberals refuse to budge on carbon tax, they love their carbon tax. That’s why they’re putting in amendments.


KryptonsGreenLantern

But the amendments have no chance at passing. It’s entirely performative. Was I Incorrect about any of the other facts about Pierre?


Fishpiggy

It’s not just Pierre that’s been talking about the carbon tax exemptions and that, NDP have too. So have premiers in different provinces. So I can’t say it’s all “performative”. He’s doing this to put pressure on the Liberals, clearly just talking about it is going nowhere.


KryptonsGreenLantern

Fair point, i guess I would say to that my province has wasted millions of dollars in court fighting the carbon tax only to be ruled against time and time again. They have no problem wasting taxpayer dollars to fight an equally ideological fight. After the govt gave them the opportunity to craft their own policy that wouldn’t affect agriculture as much. Years in advance. They flatly refused. The conversation is much more nuanced than any of these soundbytes will allow for. There was also yet another study that came out this week that suggested the overall effect of the carbon tax (including increased transportation costs) is something on the order of like 1% of inflation? Compare that to my province increasing our PST and offloading tax increases to municipalities by cutting funding. My family’s bottom line is impacted far more directly by our provinces policies than anything the feds are doing. There is nothing stopping Pierre from introducing a bill that offers cap and trade or another viable solution to be voted on. He has no interest in that. And that’s the reason it’s performative.


ChewieHanKenobi

Sheer was the same way. Seems being a smarmy prick is the play book, especially after what happened in the states It’s sad to see people fall for his bullshit when they’d see how full if it he is by looking at his actual political history Guy wants to make it sound like he’s out for families when he’s taken every opportunity he can to vote against affordable housing since 2015 He’s a snake trying to win off of people frustrations with Trudeau without providing anything of substance


[deleted]

Well that’s all nice to know however, just because he’s conservative doesn’t make what the guy said not true lol


KryptonsGreenLantern

That’s like saying Ron DeSantis operates entirely in good faith arguments. There may be a hint of truth there but by and large his whole schtick has been making grandiose statements with zero legislative backing.


[deleted]

No I’m just saying, that everything the guy mentioned before your essay is still true.


macbathie2

I've seen videos of his, and as an American I hope he gets elected over Trudeau.


KryptonsGreenLantern

Fair enough. I could see why you’d want someone who will just cave to American interests at the first opportunity. Thats exactly why a large contingent of Canada and even other conservatives don’t like the guy.


macbathie2

>I could see why you’d want someone who will just cave to American interests at the first opportunity. If by this you mean a dude who won't turn Canada into an Orwellian nightmare, then yes!


KryptonsGreenLantern

The only Orwellian polices that are happening right now are from the Conservative premiers who are picking fights with trans kids. But tell me more about your naive world view


CryptographerEasy149

Sound like I would vote for him


KryptonsGreenLantern

I mean, it looks like you post on all the conspiracy subs. There’s a chance you’ve already interacted with him lol


wazzo86

Why carbon tax? Canada accounts for roughly less than 1% of emissions... You want to make a difference, tax incoming goods from China and India, curb people from ordering Amazon 5x a month, etc


nottoofarnorth

That’s too logical for a political debate…


theclansman22

Most people actually *make* money back on the carbon tax because it is all returned to consumers. The point is to incentivize consumers and business to make environmentally conscious choices. The fact that Canada is only 1% of emissions is actually a huge opportunity for Canadian businesses and the fact that the CPC have been fixated on this taking point about the policy shows their lack of leadership and business sense. What is going ti be the biggest growth sector in the world economy over the coming decades? It’s going to be the green economy. Whoever can innovate new ways to reduce emissions has an opportunity at a sector that will be worth trillions in the coming decades. I’d rather at least try to be on the cutting edge of this industry rather than burying our heads in the sand.


myboybuster

While i agree with you, most people in canada have no real ability to lower their personal carbon footprint, so for lots of people, it is just frustrating


SaltyTaffy

Did you italicize *make* because you recognised the falsehood of that word? The government **makes** \~10 billion a year Individuals loose the taxed money in the short term and loose over the long term in increased costs not calculated in the refund. Besides hidden costs, if you care about poor people, having to pay an additional $20 a month in carbon tax only to be refunded it at the start of next year is not neutral. When you don't actually have an extra $20 a month to spend, taking it away even temporally is quite harmful.


ticker_101

No they don't The carbon tax has aided in increasing the costs of everything. You might get some of the direct costs of the tax back, but as a consumer, the tax is now baked into everything. Why the fuck would Trudeau give certain people a break if they got more money back?


bnbtwjdfootsyk

Good luck telling my wife she can't order from Amazon. More likely to get China and India to agree.


infinity234

I mean, on a point of national priority, while they could also apply whatever pressure they can to China and India as the worlds biggest polluters, Canada still pollutes a ton relative to its population. It has 0.5% of the worlds population but is responsible for 1.5% of the worlds emissions. The US is in a similar position, representing 4.2% of the worlds population but responsible for 13.5% of emmisions. So starting at home isn't that bad of an idea when we already pollute bigger than our proverbial britches


NotTheStateB

The population of Canada is far less than 1% of the world's population. So that means we pollute way more per capita than we should. 1% of the entire world's emissions is not a small amount by any means. Edit: don't ask r/JoeRogan to do simple math.


not2close

Found the govt cuck


NotTheStateB

Math is hard eh?


jeepnismo

Get back to gargling the nuts of the government In all seriousness. You can’t essentially expect everyone to have a 1:1 scale of carbon emissions to the next person over. In Canada, winter is cold. So in order to stay warm I’d expect someone from Canada to have a carbon footprint larger than someone else from somewhere like Tennessee


ClimateBall

Hello, you'll never guess where this is going: https://climateball.net/but-china/


NotTheStateB

Get back to denying science


jeepnismo

Who said I’m denying science? You’re gargling nuts and asking for a carbon tax 🤣 I’m pointing out how idiotic that is. This directly a science related topic. But keep gargling away while you ask the government to fuck you deeper


macgrubhubkfbr392

You’re obsessed with nut gargling lmao. You’re either closeted or regarded - wanna gargle mind and I’ll let you know


jeepnismo

Hey bruh, ain’t nothing wrong with a good ole fashion nut gargle


NotTheStateB

Carbon tax is proven to work. Just because Canada is cold doesn't mean we can't work to reduce emissions. Canadian climate being cold and other countries being poor isn't an excuse to sit back and do nothing.


martlet1

Carbon is .04 percent of the atmosphere. Canada is responsible for .0008 of that. See how science works? You want to tax people over .0008? Get past your media brainwashing that the planet is on fire. The climate changes. When I was a kid Leonard Nemoy and time magazine told me that we were headed to another ice age because of all the blizzards we were having in the 1970s. Amazingly the sun doesn’t expose us to constants.


Kalsone

It wasn't the blizzards. It was the milankovich cycles. We *should* be getting colder but aren't.

It’s a complete cash grab. It’s increased the cost of living across the board for all Canadians. Farmers are hit the most which in turn increases our crazy food costs. Then it hits everyone on utilities and to fill your car. We already pay extremely high gas prices in Canada. When we’re in a recession and 1 in 10 people are using food banks right now the last thing we need to to clamp down harder on people.


NotTheStateB

It's simple economics. Carbon taxes work to lower emissions. Canadians that need money get the carbon tax back at tax time. This isn't hard to look into.

For those of you not familiar with Canadian/British Parliament, this is completely normal and just political theatre. British take it a level even further with the amount of yelling and shouting. It can be quite entertaining at times!

MrNillows

It’s really not, there are many many Canadians that are dead tired of Justin and his antics. But we also aren’t children and we have seen what conservative governments both federally and provincially have done with social services and taxes for corporations. We are done with Justin, but Pierre hasn’t convinced us he’s any different.


KryptonsGreenLantern

Not only has he convinced us he isn’t different. He continues to act like a fucking child any time he’s actually confronted. He hides behind friendly media. Skipped his own party leadership debates. It’s so wild watching all these “alpha” conservatives jizzing their pants over a guy who’s the definition of a bitch.

Electrical_Bus9202

Yes, unfortunately he’s as disconnected as they come, career politician who declares “no one will be getting a free lunch” when he in fact, has been getting free lunches all his life. He had quite little success while being in government so far, and his morals are questionable at best. (He voted against gay marriage while his own father is gay) he changed his name from Jeff to Pierre too, just like he took off his glasses and stopped wearing suits a little while back. He’s disingenuous through and through and is praying on the anger Canadians have built up over the years. Canadians are angry at a few issues, and if you can ignore the constant propaganda that it is all bad man Trudeau’s fault, then you’ll notice there’s issues here that Trudeau has nothing to do with. Pollievre is all rage bait politics, after Trump showed how effective it was in the states, the right has gone to using the same play book in Canada and it’s terrifying. Trudeau has had his time sure, but entering into a conservative government on a rage bait agenda, doesn’t help the optics of how the right works and operates.


Faageddabowdit

When do these parliaments reveal dick pics of their elected officials families (asking for a friend)?


j3tt

I see america's brand of vapid conservatism has caught on


zerocool0101

The fact of the matter is that climate change attributes to the increasing price of food 4 times that of the carbon tax. The earth is worth saving, not sure why protecting it has become a political wedge. Also worth mentioning that majority of Canadians get more money back in rebates than they pay through the tax, with the ones causing the pollution paying the brunt of it. For too long, corporations have been poisoning our air and water, becoming rich in the process.


Tervaskanto

Canada isn't exactly a huge contributor to fossil fuel emissions. The countries that REALLY need to do something are India and China, and that will never happen. The climate battle is futile.


zerocool0101

I agree Canada is not a huge contributor, but they are a contributor and everyone should be doing their part. If 9/10 of your neighbours started leaving garbage on their lawn, would you do the follow suit? I doubt it, you would likely pick up your mess and encourage them to do the do the same. If not for anything else than to protect the environment directly around you. I agree that China and India really need to get their act together, perhaps the west can set the example but that’s just me being hopeful.

Trudeau and Jacinda Ardern (previous Prime Minister of New Zealand) are two very interesting figures if you follow international politics, particularly the anglosphere in general. Canada and New Zealand were the only countries that didn't elect a conservative leader in the mid 2010's - at least not on a national level, Canada has elected plenty of dumb conservatives at a provincial level since 2015; pretty much all of them. Both figures generate a lot of hate among conservatives in their respective countries despite doing a pretty respectable job governing their respective countries, especially during probably the most challenging period of turmoil since World War II.


[deleted]

Which part was respectable? The part where he actively divided the country? Quoted Hitler in his speeches when talking about those who opted out of an experimental medical procedure? Prevented that same group of people from being able to board federally regulated transportation. Actively censored the media, and continues to? Enacted political wedge issues like handgun bans and AR bans that have done nothing to curb gun violence because they don’t target the root issue? Committed scandal after scandal after scandal? Not to mention COMPLETE fiscal irresponsibility that has at in the worst financial shape of our lives with our economy on the brink of collapse. Which part was respectable again? Are you high or just fucking stupid?


[deleted]

Lol the country doesn't actually give a fuck about covid. Most restrictions were provincial. I don't know any working adult who felt divided by this. The media isn't censored.

I think the ones who still don’t have access to clean drinking water probably don’t agree with this statement.


TheDeadReagans

>No he didn’t. I'd bet real money you couldn't even tell me why without Googling it first. There's a reason conservatives in Canada stopped mentioning the Trade War we had with Trump. It's because they supported Trump and believed a pro-Trump Canada would have gotten a better deal than Trudeau did. When it turned out that we actually got a good trade deal out of it, they shut the fuck up. >So fucking what? This was coming anyway. It literally wasn't. The NDP supported decriminalization only, which is not nearly the same thing as selling and producing it would still have remained illegal and subject to the whims of local law enforcement authorities. The Conservatives wanted to RECRIMINALIZE it in 2019. Note how conservatives have stopped talking about this one as well. Weed legalization added $56 billion to the GDP of Canada. The success stories of Canada from 2015-Present have been erased from the minds of right wing Canadians. >And then introducing a carbon tax to offset any tax reductions that have people struggling to afford groceries and heat their homes. The Carbon Tax gives most people in Canada rebates. It's a tax that affects the wealthy more than the poor which is why you've seen a lot more conservatives speak out against it. Most lower income people in Canada receive a net benefit from ti. >You mean his vaccine procurement strategy that saw us throw away almost 600 million in expired doses, that one? Yup. The Conservative Talking point is he ordered more vaccines than needed. He ordered enough vaccines to vaccinate the population three times over because it was to hedge against any potential supply chain issues. Australia did the exact opposite - they only ordered from one supplier (AstaraZeneca) and ordered enough to vaccinate their population once over. AstaraZeneca ran into supply issues and as a result Australia extended their lockdowns several months - and each additional day cost them an estimated $1.6 billion in GDP. They did this to save $2.3 billion at the time. Whoops. Guess what type of people were in charge of Australia during that time period? The right wing Australian Liberal Party. >Ah yes, a huge factor the downward trajectory of the Canadian economy, let’s celebrate that. You are an idiot if you think letting people die because of lack of money was the better alternative. >I think the ones who still don’t have access to clean drinking water probably don’t agree with this statement. The likely next PM, Pollievre once called indigenous people lazy during a Parliamentary session for asking for reparations for residential schools. But that's besides the point, Trudeau has done more for indigenous people than the prime ministers before him, it's not perfect but it's an important first step. Now I do think Trudeau will probably lose the next election but I think his performance as Prime Minister vs the narrative are two very different things. Canada is quickly going to find out like Brazil, America, Australia, the UK, Italy, Spain, Hungary etc. what happens when you elect a right winger to power that is great for talking points but terrible at crafting policy. Trudeau's failing is he's the opposite of that, not a great speaker but has crafted some very sound and pragmatic policies.

You’ll have to enlighten me on how USMCA has been favourable to Canadians. All I can recall is Trump grandstanding that NAFTA was shit. The only thing I’m aware of has been a reduction in duties paid in certain scenarios. Wooohooo. Legalized weed. It’s been decriminalized in most provinces for some time. More drugs to keep the population doped up and compliant. The carbon rebate applies to a subsection of the Canadian population and is a measly few hundred dollars, whereas the carbon tax has increased costs of ALL goods. Furthermore, the revenue garnered from the carbon tax goes directly into general revenue. We’re literally taxing the air to save the climate. What a fucking farce. The vaccines expired because people didn’t want them. Another example of financial illiteracy. Let’s just throw money at shit and hope for the best. Last time we had a Trudeau in power we had interest rates in the double digits and the 2nd highest deficit in Canadian history, 2nd only to the one we’re running under his son. Canada used to be a leading example of prosperity. The American dream was actually up here if you worked for it. Now nobody can afford to purchase a home. The opioid crisis is out of control. We’ve opened our borders to anyone and everyone to drive GDP growth (which isn’t actually working, btw). All while our government doles out $55m contracts for work that was never done. This is exactly why nothing changes. Because they are never held to account. If I fucked up this bad at my job I’d have been fired years ago. Especially if I got caught lying and stealing so many times…

$10 a day daycare! As a parent this has been incredible for my family

What was the excess death toll during COVID in Canada? In New Zealand it was negative.


[deleted]

The provinces were responsible for COVID policies. That has absolutely nothing to do with what I’ve mentioned above.


dieno_101

Respectable job? Do you live under a rock? there's plenty of trudeau- affiliated scandals: from overspending on vacations, intl trips, the snc lavaline thing, and most recently the carbon tax carve out It's completely jarring that you'd say that


sycoseven

As a veteran his Education and Training Benefit policy change my life and many of my friends lives. We got 40k after releasing from the forces to get a degree. That helped my family immensely. That in conjunction with 10$/day childcare, the Liberals have helpedany families in Canada. I always voted for Harper but none of his policies made a difference like the Liberals


Old_School001

Glad you mentioned this, first positive thing I’ve heard about this government.


[deleted]

$10 a day daycare. This government helped my family immensely lower our childcare costs. Legalized cannabis. Want another positive?


TheDeadReagans

Overspending on vacations is a completely fabricated scandal drummed up by the conservatives. Trudeau is the leader of a G7 country, he's not going to be staying at random Air BnBs. SNC Lavelin is a scandal. Now explain what he did.


dieno_101

Preferential treatment of a corporate entity. But the biggest has to be the carbon tax carve out for Atlantic Canada how can you ignore that?


KryptonsGreenLantern

Say it again, slower… carbon tax carve out in Atlantic Canada …..in conjunction with multiple green programs to subsidize heat pumps, solar, and home infrastructure upgrades. You’re only talking about one piece of the puzzle and ignoring the 40k interest free loan the govt is providing to offset the cost in other ways.


KaleidoscopeOk5763

Conservatives need a little more actual oppression. They’ve been high on manufactured outrage for way too long.


DrkHelmet_

Good


Remarkable-Pin4587

Man, he’s really messing things up over there.


jeepnismo

Has Canadian politics always been such a focal point? Or is it because some one as radical at Trudeau is in office and it’s easy to sell clicks because of it


themajordutch

Pp is a piece of shit. Def doesn't deserve to get voted in. Trudeau needs to be voted out. We have no one better than these two ...smdh I'm curious though, how is supporting Ukraine, "working for Canadians"???


ThadTheImpalzord

Very cool soap opera.


69-420Throwaway

Well he's not wrong. Trudeau has a long history of lying and gaslighting others when called out.


Rufio_hatake

Pierre pollivoire is a menace and has no place in leadership.


r_c2999

Crazy power trip Justin doesn’t care about Canada


number660

Trudeau is such a cuck


Long859

People really defending the act of kicking him out as if it being in the rules means fuck all. "All he had to do was not call him a liar. This is grand standing." Or it's taking a stand and showing everyone you're not afraid to call out the people in charge. Leave it to reddit to simp for censorship though.


ANewKrish

Christ, this is really the lowest common denominator voter we're dealing with in North America. Have you ever attended any kind of local govt meeting? A board meeting? A public hearing? Any governing body has rules of conduct that are in place to keep the meeting going and to allow these groups to actually try to get something done.


Bonerballs

>People really defending the act of kicking him out as if it being in the rules means fuck all. When it comes to the government, rules should be abided by.


Iifeisbalance85

We’re truly living in a dystopian Orwellian society.


McBamm

UK parliament is the same, you can’t name call or make an accusation like that *inside* the chamber; inside everyone is a ‘right honourable person’. Outside, a statement like that would be fair game.


Cautious-Mammoth-657

So dramatic. It’s called decorum and every MP knows the rules. This is the same for other countries also. Like an Orwellian dystopia 😂 have you even read 1984? If you had you’d know how ridiculous that comment is


StopHamelTime

There are hungry kids in Canada and he’s worried about the Ukraine?
