Having seen both Team Red and Team Blue PM's answer simple questions in the House with political barbs instead of a clear answer (often one provided for them by people in the system, but not used), it remains to be seen how PP would do in the same situation if/when he's PM. If we believe the polling to date, next election's his to lose, so as of right now, we'll likely see soon enough ...
Or, if you go back far enough, get together with the other sides and come up with solutions everyone could live with on the most critical of issues.

It took a war to create a coalition. The coalition ended before the war did.
Our system is inherently adversarial. It is designed to work that way. Constantly testing.
If we are not arguing then we are easy prey for consensus authoritarians.

So what you are saying is we can bring back dueling ?
I see a new way to attack the firearms legislation...
We are one in the same...

That's fair and I won't try to predict the future. However, we're dealing with a clear and topical fault pursued by our current government. They are the current abusers and get the focus they deserve. PP's future style is just a hypothetical, trudeau and his governments actions are what is currently on the block. And they are doing a disservice to the country. When trudeau is asked a clear, point blank question, we are entitled to hear an answer specific to that question. Not some clearly preconstructed scree to demean and frame the questioner as a white extremist.

Your fucking joking right? Trudeau isn't even cooperating with Jagmeet with their "supply and confidence" agreement.
The Trudeau government and party is the most divisive and polarizing party I have ever seen

I was referring to the oooooooooooooooooold days, when people wearing different coloured political jerseys could get together behind the scenes to hammer out solutions that would solve problems and that everyone could live with and defend. WAAAAAAY before current management ...

True dat.
For now, yes - so I hope he does better than other PM's in the past in answering questions in the House. Like those who predicted PMJT's performance/behaviour based on past events/behaviours, those more cynical than me might go with the motto of Canada's Army Cadets: "Acer Acerpori" (As the Maple, so the Sapling) - or the reverse: you can tell the tree from the sapling. We'll see ...

W.A.C/ Bennett would have tea in the Legislative cafeteria with my dad and his Grandparents. My Dad was a opposition NDP MLA at the time and I remember meeting W.A.C. Bennett. The theatre was kept to the House.

Who are the gatekeepers for point 2? The provincial/municipal govts who control that sort of thing?

I laughed at that bit as well; everytime they tout 'affordable housing' there is always an asterix or something, and it's defined as something like 80% of the market average price.
It's less expensive, but it the market average is getting up to 700-800k, 80% of that is still out of reach for most, especially first time homebuyers. (holy crap, Ottawa is $758k average for a single detached home, and $385k for a condo)

But that's cool, tell us all to come in 5 days a week now that people are 60-90 minutes away to avoid food banks, so we can sit on Teams calls or in a random cubicle no where near the section (possibly different building).
At any rate, Canadians seem to dislike all current leader choices.
