Nono she went on Bill Maher which just SCREAMS "very in touch" 🙄

She is hurting the cause and refuses to realize it.

diabolicaldogfart.bsky.social•1 day ago

Leftists voting liberal are hurting the cause. We have an alternative in Canada that isn't infiltrated by big business.

infiniteworlds.bsky.social•7 hours ago

They should pull Singh, then I could vote for the federal party I used to!

vjgoh.bsky.social•1 day ago

No we don’t. At BEST the NDP are centre-left because they’ve been watering down their actual popular left wing policies for years. We have no party that’s truly made up of working class people for working class people.

diabolicaldogfart.bsky.social•23 hours ago

Utter nonsense. Some provincial NDP are centre-left like BCNDP, but the federal party is without a doubt strongly social democratic, with actual working class ties from decades of union collaboration and advocacy. Absolutely sick of this nonsense from pseudo-leftist Liberals

vjgoh.bsky.social•22 hours ago

The federal NDP lurched rightward under Mulcair and hasn’t ever come back left. They’re not the Liberals, but they don’t meaningfully distinguish themselves from the Libs. I’m looking for a leftist party that will tax wealth and nationalize industries.

But Trump has also really hammered home the dangers of not voting for the lesser of two evils. I will 100% vote strategically to keep Poilievre out of office. In normal times, I’d still vote NDP, despite my complaints. These are very abnormal times.

It's not something she should have said. There is an old saying "never spit in the sky".

nanagale.bsky.social•6 hours ago

No. She has done a fine job throughout her service to Canadians. Carney could have her as deputy PM or finance minister. Karina is an excellent member of parliament as well.
Saying out loud her plans is as Canadian as we get.

I voted for Carney yesterday. I did choose Freeland second because of her brilliant mind, not her leadership skills, Gould third and Baylis fourth. I really like Gould, but we are in perilous times and we need depth.

This can't be serious...

He’s the godfather to her child. She gotta play nice. I ranked her 4th on my ballot. I don’t reward backstabbing as a power grab. She seems so fake & I’m disgusted when I see her. I do not question her intelligence in general but her political instincts are “self mutilation” as she likes to say.

celestialtalk.bsky.social•1 day ago

Didn’t she quit because PMJT wanted carney for the same role?

n1ghtbla23r.bsky.social•12 hours ago

Yes, given how well Justin is Doing , it seems Freeland and the Gang had been the problem all along.

bcpr.bsky.social•1 day ago

She tried to throw Trudeau under the bus for her own political aspirations. She should have waited. Just like Singh it was about personal power.

bonniekathryn.bsky.social•7 hours ago

She has her nerve!

thesaltiestchicken.bsky.social•18 hours ago

She doesn't make sense to me. Like how did she get to be deputy PM with said instincts? I feel like I really don't know enough about her, she comes across pretty reasonable in interviews. Is that an act that I'm falling for or is she in general pretty nice? And if she is nice... how did she rise?

dazzle.databites.me•1 day ago

While the headline says "If she wins" she specifically said "When I win". They are missing out on all the blind confidence which really paints a much more hilarious picture.

meanderingemu.bsky.social•1 day ago

i'm actually curious if there is a chance she doesn't finish second

pez.bsky.social•1 day ago

There's a chance she'll end up 3rd.

themamiyaman.bsky.social•1 day ago

That's my bet.

pez.bsky.social•1 day ago

Blind confidence is a general requirement for politicians.

kanadiac.bsky.social•6 hours ago

I hope Carney works with the other two who have some great ideas but not her, at least until after the upcoming election.
It won't look like a change if she is still there, I think she will turn away allot of voters.

queenofthe892.bsky.social•7 hours ago

I put her fourth on my ballot for that reason.
Greatest mind for a minister, most terrible political instincts for a leader.

susansmum.bsky.social•7 hours ago

Same!

cjtoronto.bsky.social•7 hours ago

Without those "terrible instincts," the Liberals would still be at 16% in the polls with Justin Trudeau hanging on for dear life.

I'm a Carney supporter, but without Freeland, we wouldn't even be here.

queenofthe892.bsky.social•7 hours ago

I predict she'll finish third.

cjtoronto.bsky.social•6 hours ago

2nd, and we all know it.

dianefwriter.bsky.social•6 hours ago

I hope she’s actually finance minister for him.

captncanada.bsky.social•6 hours ago

She’s too much 😂🙄 She has no lack of hubris, that’s for sure.

toastergal.bsky.social•1 day ago

Why do you say that? Will you explain in the next stream?

steveboots.bsky.social•1 day ago

I mean, endorsing your opponent mid-vote is...a choice

motherearthrooted.bsky.social•1 day ago

I hope the wish is not reciprocated

cricketmh.bsky.social•7 hours ago

God love her she really does.

Mirrors my vote.

meanderingemu.bsky.social•1 day ago

but this comment from Gould is really interesting

"we need Frank Baylis when it comes to health"

derdeh.bsky.social•6 hours ago

I lost respect for Freeland when she abruptly walked away. She did it because she wanted power. She is not a "Country before Party" kind of politician. I don't trust her anymore. Her ego has taken over.

harleydadd.bsky.social•1 day ago

@chrystia-freeland.bsky.social is a joke.
She was a puppet in government, a genocide supporter, with a questionable history. 🤔

mikefarough.bsky.social•1 day ago

I believe in times of crisis that putting the best people in the positions you need them regardless of partisanship is a lofty ideal. I applaud the position, I hope Carney has positions available for all of the leadership candidates.

handle.invalid•6 hours ago

Yup as long as she has the top job. This kind of nonsense is why a women won't get the vote. She tried to burn the party to the ground and now, "oh look how inclusive I am". What a tragedy.

johnbeggs.bsky.social•6 hours ago

I dunno. I took that to be an olive branch of support and a tacit implication that she'd be happy to have her old job back. Granted, my instincts are 50/50 at best.

cgbrads.bsky.social•6 hours ago

I am curious if her riding will reelect her. Also Carney would still need to have a seat.
