David Raymond Amos Oh
my my after all the news i read in CBC today methinks Bernier and
Trudeau and everybody else must know why I look forward to debating
Rudolf Neumayer a member of is People's Party of Canada who is running
in Fundy Royal N'esy Pas?
Marcel Stanford Oscillating between the Liberals and the Conservatives just guarantees us the status quo.
If we want meaningful change, if we want us (the citizens) to be
respected and to have the money we send to our municipalities, provinces
and Ottawa respected then the status quo needs to be rejected,
otherwise nothing changes except for getting worse. Government is too
big, it's too expensive and is too intrusive in our lives. Let's give
Max an objective listen. There might be something there that makes our
lives more affordable.

Reply to @Marcel Stanford: I Wholeheartedly Agree
However ever since 2006 his political opponents know that I have proven
to them many times that the lawyer Bernier was far from ethical when he
was one of Harper's cabinet ministers. Methinks a leopard cannot change
its spots and after my conversations with his staff and new political
party associates I can't help but know that is a irrefutable fact N'esy
Pas?.

I hope Max pulls out all the stops!!
Call out the LPC for inviting tens of thousands of illigals, screwing
with our justice system, their countless scandals, influencing the RCMP,
CRA, DND, CBSA, and call out the MSM for giving them a pass while
pushing a nation destroying leftist agenda!

It
doesn't really matter that Bernier's party won't do much in the
election - if he'll hit the various party leaders with tough and/or
uncomfortable questions during the debate he'll be useful to canadians.
Even more useful would be a requirement that the leaders give straight
answers rather than talking around the questions.

Parniak: At least the possibility now exists that if immigration policy
is raised - and it might not have been without Bernier on the stage -
we'll actually hear a debate on the topic rather than regurgitated and

James Fitzgibbon Reply to @Verne Gerchin:
The Liberal approach has been to show footage of the words and
positions of Con candidates, including Scheer. Scheer now claims that
was all in the past, and perhaps they are, but to present this is
entirely fair. The Cons meanwhile take quotes out of context or just
make up stuff in their attack ads. And then the Cons whine about how
they're being picked on by the Liberals. Funny.

And a 54.7% chance of winning a majority.
CPC has a 26.7% chance of winning the most seats and a 10.3% chance of winning a majority.
Just in case anyone was wondering why Scheer has gone nastier than usual in the last few days.
Oh ... and Max is running at 3%

Bernier's in — and the federal election debates just got less predictable
In such a tight race, Bernier's sudden elevation to the big stage will change the debate dynamic
People's
Party of Canada leader Maxime Bernier has been invited to participate
in two upcoming official federal election debates. (Justin Tang/Canadian Press)
The stage is set for Maxime Bernier. His challenge now is to perform.
The
leader of the nascent People's Party of Canada (PPC) yesterday got his
coveted invitation to take part in the two televised debates organized
by the independent Leaders' Debate Commission. The debates — one in
English and the other in French — will be held on Oct. 7 and Oct 10.
The invitation extended
by debates Commissioner David Johnston reverses a preliminary ruling
last month that found Bernier didn't meet two of the commission's three
criteria to qualify.
Johnston's initial conclusion was that, according to polling
data current at the time, the PPC didn't have a "legitimate chance" to
win more than one seat. He gave the PPC time to submit more material to
change his mind.
And now Johnston has — by citing polling data
from four ridings the PPC itself had identified as winnable and by
factoring in what Johnston called the "recent political context" that
included the party's membership and fundraising activity.
So Bernier's in. What does that mean for him, his party and the debates themselves?
For
Bernier, the benefits are obvious. Johnston's conclusion that his party
has a real chance of winning more than one seat confers a new level of
legitimacy on the PPC and its core messages.
The outlier candidate
"Canadians
will be able to look at all the options," Bernier said after the
decision was released Monday. "I can tell you that the People's Party is
a real, national party with serious reforms that need to be done for a
freer and more prosperous country."
The debates give Bernier a
national stage upon which to promote his ideas — many of which are at
direct odds with those of the other parties, and some of which challenge
some of this country's long-standing policies in support of an
egalitarian and open society.
Bernier
has vowed to defend what he calls a "Canadian identity" by limiting
immigration and requiring those who come to this country to first pass a
'values' test. He also would do away with official multiculturalism.
Bernier
is alone among federal party leaders in saying he would eliminate all
government subsidies to industry and kill supply management.
And
the PPC rejects the scientific consensus that human activity is the
principal cause of global warming. Its platform promises to withdraw
from the Paris climate accord, scrap any price on carbon and withdraw
subsidies for green technology.
"Despite what global warming
propaganda claims, carbon dioxide is not a pollutant," the party's
platform says. "It is an essential ingredient for life on earth and
needed for plant growth."
A bigger target
Taking part
in the debate vastly improves Bernier's chances of contrasting these
views with those of the other leaders before a large Canadian audience.
But it also will make him a bigger target for the other leaders'
attacks. Neither the NDP nor the Conservatives wanted Bernier in the
debates. They still don't.
"Mr. Bernier's conduct risks bringing
the debates into disrepute," the NDP wrote in a letter to Johnston. "He
has eagerly courted outright racists for his new party … His
willingness to accept the support of openly bigoted activists is matched
by an eagerness to mislead and misinform the public."
The Conservatives made their own submission to the election
debates commission (cited by Johnston in his decision) pointing out that
the last time a party won a seat with less than three per cent of the
national vote was in 1949. The CBC Poll Tracker estimates PPC support
nationally at 2.9 per cent.
The Liberals put out a statement saying simply that the party accepts Johnston's decision.
Bernier's
presence will change the dynamic on stage, said long-time Conservative
strategist Jason Lietaer. More leaders on stage could mean fewer
opportunities for the kind of one-on-one exchanges that defined the 1984
and 1988 elections — when Conservative Leader Brian Mulroney and
Liberal Leader John Turner engaged in spirited exchanges over free trade
and the GST.
For the frontrunners, a new distraction
"Tactically
speaking, adding a [sixth] voice to these debates means less time for a
bunfight between the frontrunners," Lietaer said. "It will make harder
for anyone to score points."
Lietaer and other strategists said
they expect Bernier to focus most of his energy and time on painting
Justin Trudeau and Andrew Scheer as two peas in the same pod.
Bernier regularly vows through his
Twitter feed that a PPC government would eliminate the deficit in two
years — three years faster than Scheer is promising to do — through cuts
to foreign aid, corporate welfare and funding for the CBC.
"It
will make Scheer's job more difficult. He will now have to parry
attacks from both the left and the right," Lietaer said. "I expect
Bernier to go after both. He'll make the argument that Trudeau has
failed and Scheer would be no better."
So Bernier has his stage.
He has a role. The only thing that's not set is the script. Will he be a
bit player, or will he be cast as the villain? If the other leaders
have their way, we can expect a little bit of both.

Maxime
Bernier (right), a 42-year-old delivery man from Lac Saint-Jean, is
running in the same riding as PPC leader Maxime Bernier. (Rhinoceros Party)
The
Rhinoceros Party is hoping name recognition will give their newest
candidate a leg up in the Beauce region, or at the very least sow
confusion.
The party has nominated a candidate named Maxime
Bernier where the leader of the People's Party of Canada, who has the
same name, is also running.
In an interview with CBC News,
Bernier said he was approached by members of the satirical party on
Facebook and asked if he wanted to run.
Although he's never met the PPC leader, he said it was impossible to avoid the association.
"For
the last 20 years, I'd say my name, and I'd hear exactly what Maxime
Bernier was doing," he said, adding that people would often joke about
how they have the same name.
"This is like, we'll switch the roles. And we'll see if people like me more than him!" he said.
"It's like a payback, but without any bad [intentions]."
Despite the tongue-in-cheek reason he was approached, Bernier said he's serious about running a campaign.
"They
asked me at the beginning if I could be just a name," he said. "And I
refused that. If I'm doing to do it, I do it all, or I'm not doing it at
all."

The
42-year-old from Lac Saint-Jean, who works in the delivery sector, said
he plans on focusing on local issues that concern the Beauce, instead
of national issues.
"Maxime Bernier thinks it's a bigger concern
to fight with a little 16-year-old girl… and tell everybody that
[climate change] is not happening, that it's just a story to scare kids,
instead of taking care of the people that are supposed to vote for
him," he said, referring to Bernier's comments about teenaged climate activist, Greta Thunberg.
"The way he's thinking, I really think it's from another century."
He
said that his campaign would focus on the needs of people in Beauce,
especially those in the agricultural and dairy sectors, "because they're
the ones that elect me."
"I'm not going to try to win Ontario because I want to be the chief of a party," he said.
In
a statement to Radio-Canada, the PPC said it was "a good joke" but that
they were "confident that the people of Beauce will vote for the Maxime
Bernier they know, and not the one imported from Lac Saint-Jean."
As for the Rhino candidate, he said that if anyone is confused, they can refer back to his slogan.
"If you're not sure, then vote for both!"
