Elections For Canadians (and sure, Americans and others can chime in): Is this a good reason to vote Liberal in the upcoming Canada election?

[JudoThrowFiasco]

Carney's almost sounds like him. It's just not fair.

How could you tell, everyone's dubbing sounded terrible. French just sucks

 

[HereticBD]

This is so dumb. It would be like American candidates being forced to have a debate in Spanish.

Real debate is the next one, where the majority of the country can understand what the fuck they're saying without an awful dub track.

Massive Carney hater checking in to say it’s totally irrelevant until it’s done in English. I’ll give the guy a break on that

I speak French too as a second language, probably better than Carney but not much. I hate the guy but to debate in a language you’re not articulate in doesn’t mean much. Nobody I know even bothered to watch it. The real debates are get to come

Obviously his second language but he's improving. However unless you're in quebec or NB it doesn't matter. The dubbing was really bad and the fact that it started at 6pm just shows it wasn't taken seriously

Carney was solidly in all 3 opposition party's crosshairs for obvious reasons. I know that none of us on either side are changing our votes, but also none of us can deny that Carney looked softer than baby shit and I sure don't want him negotiating with Trump. It'd be a bloodbath.

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

I mean i appreciate that Banker Carney came out. However it baffles me that leftist are voting for him to the point that NDP will be a nothing party in a few weeks..

He definitely tried to convince the populace that he's going to cut spending / balance the budget, cut taxes AND increase quality of social services....although the phrases "preserve" transfers obviously means status.quo

I actually disagree, I think he does understand international economic diplomacy and can adjust a strategy to various scenarios. I don't think Trump will be willing to work with him much (but may let others do so). I just don't know if Carney will utilize canada resources to full potential and he may be too focused on input and not ensure free market and the private sector to climb out of Trudys disastrous leadership.

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

I also got to say....voting is open at ED offices, advance polling starts soon and election day is 11 days away....and none of the major parties have released a platform

Like...i know canandians are meek and timid (subservient) but damn...thats ridiculous

Jagmeet was a disgrace and Carney deflected nearly every question he really is Trudeau 2.0

The most pathetic part of the debates was the post debate scrums where CBC was able to succeed in having them shut down after having a shit fit over Rebel News asking a question about all the church burnings. Just shows you have deeply entrenched the CBC is with the government that they are the first to attack journalists on behalf of the government for doing the job that the CBC should be doing in the first place and asking tough questions of our leaders.

Here are the Rebel News questions about the church burnings:


It could be that the cancelled scrum involved Keean Bexte's plan to ask Carney about Ryan Turnbull's old posts about gays:

Liberal MP issues apology over sexually explicit, f-slur comments about gay men

Liberal MP and incumbent candidate Ryan Turnbull has issued a public apology after an exclusive Juno News report resurfaced a series of highly offensive and sexually explicit Facebook comments.

The English debate


Highlights:

1:13:00 to 1:15:00 Poilievre points out that Carney is keeping the industrial carbon tax (for oil and steel producers) and asks Carney what this will do to the price of a car for Canadians.

1:37:40 to 1:40:42 Singh accuses Carney, as Chair of Brookfield, of buying properties, evicting tenants, and raising rates.

1:40:42 to 1:43:55 Blanchet claims that Carney's priorities are areas where Brookfield is invested, and Blanchet challenges Carney to reveal his assets as the other candidates have done.


1:43:55 to 1:47:03 Poilievre claims that Carney stated,on 3Jun2021, that inflation would be a sign of economic progress (at at time when he was Trudeau's economic advisor), and Poilieve accuses Carney of facilitating the worst inflation crisis in a generation for Canada.

Spoiler

Google search the title "Mark Carney: Inflation is a positive sign of economic progress" for the CNN interview with Carney.

1:47:03 to 1:50:30 Carney asks Poilievre why he didn't get security clearance.

1:55:13 to 1:55:53 The debate moderator asks Carney if he would remove any tax loopholes used by companies that Carney worked for.

Honestly. PP sounded so unprepared. How is it possible that he has over 20 years in politics and it looks like he just decided to run with no preparation. Carney looked nervous. But there is a difference when your entire career has lead up to this and it looks subpar.

I am totally unfamiliar with the law regarding this, but would it be possible for Canada to vote for Donald Trump as prime minister?

Weird how all media outlets (including CBC) are reporting that Pierre and Blanchet looked best with Carney behind and Singh in the basement by a long shot.

I actually thought that Pierre was favored by the moderator and harder on Carney.

Grasping at straws, Pierre answered every question asked of him with a clear answer. Reiterated the same points he been making for years, never paused because like Carney did.

Carney answered nearly every question with a deflection and got flustered every time Jagmeet cuts him off unlike Pierre who kept going forward.

Pierre was ready for the attack questions, yet Carney seemed to get visibly angry when pressed, you could almost see the moment he pissed his diaper when asked about his assets.

Carney is all over the place. Seems like he wants to do everything on the left and right, except make any moves on crime and releasing our energy sector. Pierre's point that if we can expand our exports of oil and gas to other poluting countries and get them off coal would have the biggest effect on global emissions of all plans and make us money, not cost us. I was shocked to hear that 90% of our oil and 100% of our gas goes to the states.

The Canadian equivalent of the American president is the governor general (has veto power over laws), who is appointed by the prime minister (the English monarch usually stays out of the decision), not elected.

The prime minister of Canada is elected like the American house leader (usually wins a seat in the congress and is selected by peers of the same political party), but the the prime minister has both legislative powers of the American congress and executive powers of the American president.

The better question would be if Canadians could replace King Charles with Donald Trump as King of Canada. As King, Trump could approve Vance as governor general.
