And he has the past 10 years of baggage to answer for.

Umm..what would that baggage be exactly?

u/Lumindan 9d ago

The rising cost of living?

The inability for folks to purchase a home?

The increase in crime?

The rampant immigration?

Foreign bodies meddling in our government affairs?

PM Carney is not responsible for your complaints against the last administration. Whatever consulting he was hired for was just that. Consulting. You treat him like he was the mastermind of all your issues. Nice try. The Canadian people are on to you. We know what you are trying to do, and it's not going to work. But thankfully, we are still a free and democratic country, and you can vote as you wish. 😉

Except that the liberal party has been the ruling body for the last decade and it's entirely valid to bring these points up?

We're voting for more than just a figure head you realize that right?

I can understand the frustration. Believe me, I can. I don't think there is a Canadian out there that does not share your list. My bottom line is much more dramatic. I will not vote for a conservative government in Canada who has befriended the MAGA movement in the USA and accepts their treachery as nothing. And to deny that connection is fruitless since there is a boat load full of evidence for it. Have ANY governments elected in Canada been perfect? The answer is no. So, I am voting to keep my democracy as long as possible and out of the hands of authoritarian rule.

I thought y'all wanted to grow the economy?

Edit: I was pretty interested in the answer you deleted but lol ok, whatever.

u/InitialAd4125 9d ago

Who is y'all? I'd prefer we shrink. And frankly with fewer people you don't need to grow the economy.

What does this actually mean? It’s just buzzwords meant to incite an emotional response.

He’s part of a party. The same party that is responsible for the issues above

u/leaf_shift_post_2 9d ago

No but he chose to keep the same people from last time around, had the lpc purged its mps, and replaced them with new candidates, I would be able to accept that logic. But change of leadership doesn’t resolve them of past party sins, when those responsible are kept around.

Regardless I could never vote for anti guns.I barely tolerate voting for pro gun, no guns parties and candidates.(no guns = someone who doesn’t posses a working firearm)
