1. Name one International trade agreement that was negotiated publicity.

don't bother,you can't because it has never happened. Fell for that one did you?

2. Your boy Trudeau voted for The draconian bill C-51 too.

WHoops!!!


3. The "all the eggs in one basket" ploy even fooled you too. Do a little reseasch, and you'll find that Real estate selling managing, renting and leasing” is the largest segment of Canada’s economy at 13%.

Manufacturing, while it may be lower than in years past, is still a very large portion of GDP and is the second largest component at 11%.

Mining, quarrying, and oil and gas extraction all together is third at 8% of GDP.

8% of GDP is NOT "all the nations eggs in the basket" as you were fooled into thinking it was.

Don't you know enough to NOT take a politician's word as the truth??

So... which one where you referring to in the prior post?

For the past three months all you've heard from the LWPMSM and the Progressives in Canada, is how bad off Canada is, and how we've lost our standing in the world.

Well it's obvious some sheeple believed that crap.




It comes a little late for Stephen Harper’s Conservatives, but Canada has been named both the freest and most tolerant country in the world. It’s also one of the most prosperous and best-run, and trails only Australia in education.

Good thing we changed governments eh?

The latest accolade for Canada comes from a London-based think tank, The Legatum Institute, which publishes an annual “prosperity index.” Canada scores well overall – in sixth place out of 142 countries – but excels in the categories of personal freedoms and openness. Though always near the top of the order in the seven years the index has been compiled, the last year of the Conservatives’ mandate coincided with its rise to first place as “the freest country in the world.”

Canada, the report notes, “is the most tolerant of immigrants – 92% of people think the country is a good place for immigrants. It is also the fifth most tolerant of ethnic minorities… 94% of Canadians believe that they have the freedom to choose the course of their own lives

Canada’s middle class appears to be the richest in a new study of incomes in several big countries.

The in-depth report published today in The New York Times, which looks at about 20 nations, indicates that Canadians have bumped Americans out of the top spot they have long held.

http://www.theglobeandmai...suggests/article18090490/




For the fourth time in six years, Canada has come out on top in a survey that tries to determine which country has the best reputation — not that we're the types to brag about it.

The world's perception of Canadians as "friendly and welcoming" people helped us reclaim our No. 1 spot this year on the Reputation Institute's annual ranking of countries by perceived image.

In 2014, Canada came in second to Switzerland, as it did to Sweden in 2010.

Canada is the "most admired" country with the "best reputation" in the world, according to an annual survey ranking the reputations of developed nations across the globe.

The 2015 report from the Reputation Institute ranked Canada as the most reputable country in the world, based on a variety of environmental, political, and economic factors.

The Reputation Institute's Fernando Prado says Canada offers "something good" in many different categories evaluated in the survey.

the uniformed ones, like you who thought that Oil extraction was the linchpin that Canada's economy was based on (Eggs in one basket).

It's easy to pull the wool over low information voters who swallowed that lie.

Well you have yourself to thank for that, as you proved how Ill-informed you were on the Canadian economy.

I was informed, and did not fall for all the BS spewed out for the low information voters like you.




The TPP that was negotiated in secret? The draconian bill C-51? Or just throwing all the nations eggs in the oil basket, and hoping nothing goes wro... oh.

Did the Conservatives put all their eggs in one basket?? You claim they did, but StatsCan proves otherwise.

When will you admit to being duped by the "all their eggs in one basket" lie?

In fairness, it's not like the oil industry is taking (or asking for) a bunch of (frank)ing bailouts like the auto industry did or Bombardier is... again...
- BINGO!

Side note: while the oil industry may not ask for bailouts... the only countries that provide more subsidies to their energy industries are Luxembourg and the US.

A chart showing how much money is made, definitely disproves the idea that the government was slashing budgets across the board to help prop up an industry that's struggling.... just so they could say there was no deficit.


So, it's not just a strawman, but a red herring too!


Throw in the countless false dichotomies, appeals to popularity, appeals to authority, no true scotsmans, and begged questions, and Dopps is a fallacy machine.

I seem to recall that largely being the case during the later years of Chretien... Something about the PC's and the Canadian Alliance/Reform parties...

- BINGO!

The vote for the left wing parties still beat out the vote for the right wing parties.

In fact, in every Chretien government, the Liberals won more of the popular vote than the PCs and Reform/Alliance combined.

You have to go back to 1984 for the last time the popular vote went right-wing... and even that was a blip, with the previous few elections seeing the majority of the popular vote going left wing.

Canada is progressive country, not a conservative one.
