Why won't the Conservatives let their candidate speak to the community? It just loses votes.

@Frank
Western separation is not going to happen. Chretien made sure of that with the Clarity Act in 2000. The threat of seperation is the latest scare tactic being used by Conservatives.

Clarity Act 2000:
1.Clear referendum question....not a problem
2.Clear majority..... not just 51%... it has to be obvious to the FEDERAL government that it is the clear will of Albertans AND Saskatchewanians.
3.Vote by EVERY other province and territory to allow secession, since it involves changing the Constitution.
4. Negotiations.... the difficult one. Water rights, assumption of part of national debt, native claims, federal land claims, citizenship rights......there is absolutely no reason for the feds to make it easy.
5. They need to create a political system, banking system, monetary system, healthcare system, a judiciary, police, military.

Not going to happen with 30% wanting to do it BEFORE the process starts.

You need to read C-69. It simply offers a framework for approval of pipelines while taking into consideration environment, economic, and native issues. Lack of C-69 led to a confusing mix of laws and approvals required to start construction.
Bill c-69 obviously doesn't make pipelines impossible, since the Trans Mountain Expansion doubles export capacity. The LIBERAL government bought the pipeline and finished the expansion. Those shipments can now go to Asia, and they do.
There are 7 LNG projects developing in Canada and our first shipments to Japan or South Korea leaves Kitimat next month.

"You're not suggesting who we should vote for" yet you are.

Immigration has been reduced even before JT resigned.
International student levels cut in half.
International students can no longer fast track to permanent resident status.
This all done before Carney.

Housing affordability issues are happening in almost every country.

Youth unemployment? Many places cut hours because they can't find staff. All 3 of my children rose quickly through their places of employment because their peers didn't put in any effort. Youth unemployment doesn't exist. Youth that are too obsessed about instantly getting the perfect job is the real issue. " I want to work from home". " I want $100k/ yr. ". " No shift work ". " I want I want I want".

They can take the test at any time and become qualified. It residency spots that are the issue.

Also, are you suggesting foreign doctors shouldn't need to be held to the same standards our medical students are ?
Not all foreign medical education is the same.

Let's see... currently 4 articles regarding Poilievre and a single one on Carney. Add to that the softball questions before Poilievre left town.

Obviously Sootoday is a liberal rag /s

We started selling LNG to Asia this month. New pipeline was created under C-69.

It's obviously not a "no new pipelines" bill, regardless of what PP's slogans say.
