Carney is more of a Progressive Conservative than Poiievre.

The Liberals are the only ones standing up for Canada; the Cs still don't get this.

We will see what this third straight majority means for the future.

And here lies the problem. DOUG FORD IS A MAGA SYMPATHIZING FRAUD that is in league with Elon. He's never going to rip up his Starlink contract. Because Musk is helping him take Sussex.
Wake the fuck up people. He's a huge 51st state guy despite what he says.

Poilievre is so amateurish, it would be a huge mistake to vote for him on the federal level when so much is at stake.

Hope so

Pierre is plenty progressive for this classic liberal and exactly what Canada needs right now.

I'm not against voting Conservative and have done so in the past but I'm not voting for someone so amateurish and unqualified in Poilievre. I want to keep Canada, CANADA. Not give into Trump and the MAGA politics and mindset.

I used to vote conservative, but I think the party kinda left me, I didn't leave it.
Their regression out of being progressive, and then being inclusive and 'big tent' but that just meaning they welcomed some incredibly backwards folks in...

gregcawsey.bsky.social•3 days ago

I get that - feel the same abandonment from the liberals. The far right PPC is the backward party to me. Conservative Party up here would be Democrats in the states based on policy platforms. So more than comfortable with them.

Have to agree to disagree on that. Not going to keep the shovel in the hand of the ones who dug the hole.

Too funny

gregcawsey.bsky.social•3 days ago

More of the same - would not be hilarious.

That’s ridiculous! #DougFord is not progressive. He won because our media has never told the truth about him. He has turned Ontario into a cesspool of corruption and callous human vice.

Ontario losing the election to Ford means a lower chance of a Pierre PM. Voters in a Conservative-governed province tend to vote liberal in a federal election, and vice versa. Ontario is the most populous province, so our voting power is greatest. This is bad news for Pierre, but good news for us
