Tim Krupa - LIBERAL

[hobbyguy]

And if he was running for a party that cared about your children's future, and your grandchildren's future, then I would agree. But he's running for a party that doesn't care about anyone's future. They've proved that over and over again. All the Liberals care about is themselves.

Unlike the incumbent, Tim Krupa will wholeheartedly support efforts to get to net zero, not vote against them as our disgraced incumbent did.

Ask your children and grandchildren if they feel they will have a good future without us getting to zero (and soon). My bet is that 90% of them will tell you that net zero is key to their futures.

For the "sandwich" generation Tim Krupa is the right choice as he and his party support significantly improved day care availability and significantly reduced costs and the Canada Child Benefit plus on the other side of the "sandwich" improved pensions, rights, care and independence options for our elders.

Tim and his party are working to improve opportunities for your children, and and a good sunset period of life for our elders.

Tim Krupa and his party defend the rights of all - and unlike the disgraced incumbent, understands and supports the fundamental democratic imperative of the separation of church and state.

Our incumbent is not "disgraced", and to call her that just cheapens an already pretty cheap argument. But hey, great, so Tiny Tim votes to "get to net zero", whatever that even means, and then China and India each open up 20 more coal-burning plants, and all that "effort" produces a giant fat "zero" in terms of doing anything to "save the climate", if you actually believe in such things. This whole "net zero" thing is like a mouse shaking its fist at an elephant. It's literally nothing.

Ask your children and grandchildren if they feel they will have a good future without us getting to zero (and soon).

And if they say "yes" to this then they really have been brain-washed by imbeciles.

My bet is that 90% of them will tell you that net zero is key to their futures.

And my bet would be that means that they are naive fools.

For the "sandwich" generation Tim Krupa is the right choice

is this the generation that wears sandals with blazers? And untucked shirts?

Tim and his party are working to improve opportunities for your children, and and a good sunset period of life for our elders.

Tiny Tim is a nice young man, that's for sure, but his party doing nothing of what you say above.

Tim Krupa and his party defend the rights of all -

bwahaa haa haa no they don't. Not even close.

and unlike the disgraced incumbent,

She's not "disgraced". Despite the best efforts of the PMO and it's minions to try and sell this load of crap.

understands and supports the fundamental democratic imperative of the separation of church and state.

Oh and here we go again with this nonsense. What a joke. Tiny Tim - I wish you the best of luck, but you really have immersed yourself in a total sewer here. Good luck distancing yourself from these Liberal losers down the road, as I truly believe that you have a bright future, that can only be hindered by associating yourself with such horrible characters and bad actors.

I see Tiny Tim is using the same local Liberal props that the former Liberal MP used (what was that guy's name again?).

The same crew have been recycled for another crushing loss.

These local Liberals can't seem to attract anyone new to their camp. The same old tired virtue signaling that cost the one-term wonder his pension is back for another round.

They've lost before they even got started.

Well, he's very young and no doubt naïve and still very much behind the changing times - mired in the old thinking about climate change that was, based on failed models, "scary scenarios" and "dramatic statements" - the Liberal candidates seem to require one quality or the other, and he's presenting with both.

Maybe by the next election cycle, Krupa will have opened his mind to the possibility that he is supporting a failed concept. It would have been nice to see him have enough backbone not to run for the Trudeau Liberals.

Just think, if enough young idealists like Krupa turned their backs on what Trudeau has been doing rather than putting their personal integrity on the line to support him, the party might realize it's time to rebuild.

Only the new who are either naïve or hopelessly committed to the failed narrative of CAGW, or both.

Perhaps by the next election cycle, Krupa will not be so malleable.

[The Green Barbarian]

As I said earlier, poor Tim has to wake up every morning wondering what fresh hell has been sprung upon him by his Liberal cohorts. Today he has to find a way to explain why the Liberals just handed a big ship building contract to China. Wow what a thankless job. At this point the only people that are going to show up at the all candidate debates to show support are going to be his Taliban "brothers". Yikes.

Well, if you pay attention, you will see that the current Liberal government has advanced climate change actions in a manner that is consistent with proper continuous improvement practices.

Some of it isn't flashy, but it really matters. Here's a few:

- the 90% revenue neutral carbon tax (which the CPC and its provincial counterparts fought tooth and nail) with a schedule to slowly increase its "bite"
- proper environmental reviews for major resource projects (supported by the Mining Association of Canada), note that the CPC are still against this.
- a framework for working toward net zero by 2050 (which O'Toole and the CPC were the only ones to vote against)
- a very considerable expansion of environmentally protected lands, oceanic areas and critical habitats
- an agreement with Germany to pool hydrogen research and development efforts as part of an overall hydrogen strategy
- ratified the Basel Convention on plastic waste exports (which the CPC government that O'Toole was front and center in refused to do)
- funded R&D for carbon capture
- modernize the national building code to increase building efficiency and reduce GHG emissions
- denied an environmentally disastrous pipeline while supporting one that is not

So you can see serious actions there that strike a balance in a continuous improvement effort to transition Canada to a low and then net zero carbon economy and way of life.

That is appropriate, it should speed up some, but opposition from the CPC gang has indeed obstructed progress.

There is much, much more to be done. We can not afford to have any more foot dragging. The fire season and drought we are going through right now has fingerprints of GHG climate change all over it (we have had 3 "once in a hundred year" fire seasons in 4 years - that's not just weather). It has hammered Okanagan people's lives, hurt businesses and employment, and is dramatically harming our beautiful Okanagan.

Time Krupa, unlike the disgraced CPC incumbent, will not be a foot dragger on climate change and environmental issues.

I believe the left has a dire need to fight anthropogenic climate change and natural climate change. Too bad one can't distinguish the two. All models are completely wrong so obviously climate is not understood. Too bad about the fires, but climate change is the study of why the global average temperature recently rises by 0.1 degrees every 10 years. Some areas slightly go up, others stay the same, others go down, it is mostly northern hemisphere. What about BC? Unfortunately La Nina and other factors controlling weather do all the work, including low solar activity not seen in 100 years which causes the wandering polar vortex. People attribute to 'climate change' what is really normal weather. World-wide deforestation from fire continues to fall. "Fingerprint of GHG" is a silly media term. Latest news is the Taliban won because of climate change. You really believe the media?

At least we're not fighting anthrofuzzakamogic climate change or any other type I've never heard of. A number of items in the list are environmental rather than climate related. It is important to protect the environment from poisons or pollutants. I think most agree. Nothing is too wrong with a working pipeline. It is better than trucks and trains, isn't it? Not as though you've stopped the flow of oil.

Carbon Capture

Squamish has a carbon capture plant which up to now has cost 1.5B dollars. This converts ONLY ONE TONNE of CO2 per YEAR from the air and converts it to pellets. Another 1.5B dollars (now $3B) would be needed to convert the pellets in to low carbon fuels to be re-used. It is a great science project but extremely inefficient and wastes a titanic amount of money. Now try to capture 577 million tonnes.

Canada could spends hundreds of trillions of dollars to no effect. Obviously building a few plants is just a waste of money, and building 100,000 plants is the same. If humans move away from goal and gas and stop putting CO2 in to the air then as CO2 is naturally sequestered you wouldn't want to extract CO2 for fuels lest every living thing on earth would die (assuming an EV future). So carbon capture at an enormous cost only has a small window of opportunity. Few believe inexpensive fuels will be made from these C-capture plants. These useless green jobs do nothing of value and therefore ruin the economy. There are 5 C-capture plants world-wide and one of them add value to any economy. Pure absolute useless green waste.

Update to Building Codes

Infrastructure continually improves for efficiency and therefore have lower energy costs. This is a natural progression of technology and has been happening for thousands of years. I'd rather see the government spend billions helping to upgrade peoples homes than on carbon capture. At least this way the money that is stolen through carbon pricing goes back to people and business. The CPC supports this. Who wouldn't?

Hydrogen

The existing method of steam reformation for hydrogen extraction creates CO2. Electrolysis is slow and requires a titanic amount of energy. Hydrogen is convenient, and marginally better than just burning natural gas.


I believe the CPC plan will involve more common sense and level headedness about the climate and environment and be more thoughtful in spending without putting Canada in to spiraling debt. Improvements to infrastructure, and gas engine technology goes a long way. Yes, we are still developing gas engines.

Tim Krupa - LIBERAL <---

shocking I know but you don't have to be an older bitter person to have Life experience
He is going to be eaten alive - that will give him a bit more said LE
Boyish charm worked for Tom Cruise, I imagine Tim will get some votes based on that

No flashy socks but nice hair.

No flashy socks but nice hair.

Sooooo reminiscent of some other unqualified boy who has proven not to be mature enough to handle the responsibilities of elected officials.

Nice hair though! Love that line!

[hobbyguy]

I am pleased to see the defenders of the far right spinning in circles when a truly centrist and caring person like Tim Krupa is "not in there corner". They elucidate exactly what Tim Krupa will not do as opposed to the disgraced incumbent who:

- voted to keep the outrageous and awful quack practice of "conversion therapy"
- voted to attack women's rights and their right to choose
- voted to attack seniors rights and their right to choose to pass with dignity
- voted against measures to improve pensions
- voted against efforts to get to net zero
- has demonstrated a severe lack of understanding of the fundamental importance of the separation of church and state to democracy, instead wanting impose religion based dogma on all Canadians by even voting against her own party leader on key issues like "conversion therapy"

Tim Krupa will support and advance LGBTQ rights, support and advance women's rights, support and advance seniors rights, support and advance indigenous rights and all minority rights, seniors economic well being, family well being through efforts to support seniors independence and low cost accessible child care.

Tim Krupa knows that Canada's economic prosperity and the future of our children and grandchildren depends on developing a vibrant net zero low carbon economy that provides opportunities for all - and leaves none behind.

Tim Krupa will be a refreshing change for Kelowna/Lake Country by representing all of us and working toward a brighter and more inclusive future.

Tiny Tim doesn't have a snowball's chance in Al Gore's global warming hoax.

[The Green Barbarian]

It's 8:35 am and Tiny Tim is just awakening to yet another fresh hell he has to explain to constituents, this time a huge scandal involving the Liberals and Abacus Data:

https://torontosun.com/news/election-20 ... th-friends

Oh Tim, why did you hop in bed with such evil scum? It's going to take a lot of showers to rid yourself of the stench you've enmeshed yourself in. But you're a nice, smart young man, you'll get through this, and I know you'd make a fine addition to Prime Minister O'Toole's team.
