It may be that the best reason to vote liberal right now is that all the world’s worst regimes seem to be working actively against Mark Carney…peace, order and good government are a direct threat to them.

Derka Derka derrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrk *strange gurgling sounds from ancient lake creature can be heard, yet soothing to those who like the tuna* Waaaaaaaaaargh!
He has international respect - people listen to him for a reason. PP is my MP and I never thought him spectacular in the 30 years he has held the job. He is not ready for international politics, he doesn't have the experience. I think he is smart, could learn anything, but he is abrasive and cold.
He's smart enough, but his single-minded purpose is to implement far-right libertarian economics that he learned as a teenager. He doesn't want to learn because this is an article of faith.
I agree with you. He grew up in Harper's sh*t. He was very young when he came here and took the riding from David Pratt who was Defence Minister. I had voted for him since he had been on Nepean Council. His Mom & Dad asked for my vote. PP was a total stranger parachuted in on a riding split.
Exactly. I just said to a friend that if the Cons had picked someone like Jean Charest, & did work to come up with 1 or 2 substantive, well thought-out policies that would help a lot of CDNs, the Cons could have won by now. But they haven't done that. They're more committed to their puerile crap.
It took me 13 years. I worked part time for some of that, full time for some of that (night classes, this was before online!), and then took unpaid leave to finish it after saving up 2/3rds of my salary over 4 years. It was hard work and I'm SO proud that I finished it.
It is so much harder when you try to come back to it - WELL DONE YOU!!!! And a lot of people, because of the cost of higher ed, take 6 years or even 8 to complete now. It used to show an employer that you could take something on and stick it out to completion. We have made credential factories now.
So this line always bothered me. A BA is less qualified than a PhD in the same field, obvs, but how long it took to get a degree doesn't make the learning any less valuable or real. Poilievre is an asshole and an idiot, but time to get his degree is not why he doesn't have the chops to be PM.
I don't know if this is true but saw someone suggest he was kicked off campus then finished it via correspondence, while working for Stockwell Day, and as an MP.

Carney is America's best hope as well. He is well positioned to lead Canada against the aggressive and predatory Trump regime. He has more experience and brain power than the Orange One and his dim bulb cabinet put together.
I wish the Canadians the best...vote Carney.
When a candidate is targeted with a foreign disinformation and misinformation campaign, or in this case, multiple foreign interests. That's the right one to support.
They know a world renowned economist will undermine their efforts.
I live in a conservative entrenched riding. I wish those conservatives-leaning folks would listen to this advice.
I don’t even think a lot of them float with the maple maga crowd necessarily.
They just have their head up their ass when it comes to realizing what an absolute privilege it is to live in a functioning democracy. Maybe that’s the same thing.🤷🏼♀️
that's my exact sentiment.
plus poilievre is a member of the right Conservative organization IDU, who also claims the republican party as a member.
it's lead by Stephen Harper and has recently scrubbed Modi and Orban from it's website.
From an American guy's (from Buffalo) perspective, Carney is very impressive overall to me. I wish we were being led by him or a guy similar to him right now. He seems to be just what the doctor ordered for Canada.
The US polls tend to only look at popular vote, but the electoral college picks the President, not the popular vote, which makes their polls less accurate.
338 in Canada has called 2036 districts races over 18 elections and only 86 were not within their margin of error. They're pretty accurate.
The reason I worry about polls in general is that in 2016 and 2024, I think that many people were "shy" Trump voters and didn't report as such. Poilievre is so similar to him that I believe there are cases where the same thing happens. Not the fault of the polls but the data.
Weird since he wasn't Bank of England Governor in 2022 when she was PM for 49 days... he left 2 years prior, and had warned the UK against voting for Brexit, and warned her against her policies.
Some people can't take responsibility for their own mistakes
I’m English. I think Mark Carney is a total dude for telling Trump to fuck right off (in more diplomatic language). Please vote that guy IN and let him show Trump what real leaders do.
I feel like the US is proving to be a great example of what not to do. Hopefully the voters everywhere are paying attention, it certainly woke up Americans.
Also, if you have representation (ie. NDP who actively puts pressure on the Libs to follow through with public social policy) - keep it! - Can we vote to bolster our strength and love of our services (which ostensible are what sets us apart for other *cough-US-cough* countries)?

Carney is definitely a threat to them.
