Well most Canadians don't want a new government and are happy with Carney. Us here just see the trend signs early and where they're gonna lead ahead of time.
Really?? Canadians are happy with him? That's not the vibe I'm getting. Even my parents who are hard core liberals are disappointed.
The last approval I saw which was a week or two ago was over 50 percent. Don't know how it's moved since.
It's been 34 seconds since the election. Like my god, I mean I don't think I was super excited to vote Liberal (have I ever been?), but holy friggin hell it's been like .2 seconds. Let's give the guy some breathing room.
Things are in flux, and quite chaotic. I don't care who you are, or what color you rep. Whether it's green, purple, red, blue or manure brown. This timeline we are on is for the birds, and you got nothing to win here, everything to lose.
He's not done everything I've wanted him to either, he's definitely made what I think history will likely show as some misteps on his negotiations with the Americans but yikes, give the guy some runway. Meanwhile his adversary has been parading around central Alberta the past month. Riding an ATV without a helmet and pretending he's a cowboy, in a riding that would declare an empty bucket of paint as grand emperor as long as it promised to be a racist, anti-abortion, anti vax piece of shit. That's what it's taken him to have a voice. So do you think he'd be any better? What about Jagmeet or the NDP. Where are the NDP? Probably hiding with Nenshi in Alberta, because ain't no one seen him lately either.
Yeah but Jagmeet stepped down. He's no longer the party leader for the NDP.
Yeah the Cons are worst, but only on a moral level. Because so far the Liberal party has been on the same level as the Cons economically. Cutting government jobs to cut costs, working with oil companies to push for a big oil pipeline project to sell to Europe. Eroding our rights to privacy with a Canadian version of the Patiot act. Not applying counter tarrifs on American resources, to the advantage of the American economy and our detriment. I mean, those things will have lasting consequences. And that's just the first impression he's giving.
I don't think I want to wait to see what comes next.
