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

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.

This sounds so terrifying there's probably a chapter about it in the Project 2025 playbook.

Donald J Trump, President of the United States, King of Canada

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.

Speaking of. PP talking about Canada broken, lost liberal decade, dealing with tariffs and he is focusing on bringing back plastic straws. Literallly right out of trumps playbook. His supporters high fiving each other like this is the kill shot.

We have a Green MP and MPP now, just vote for whoever and leave us alone.

Have the liberals explained why the absolutely vital carbon tax that we absolutely had to implement or the earth was going to explode can suddenly be paused right before an election?

Did climate change stop being a problem?

Am I the only one who simply bought a bunch of plastic straws at the dollar store and just kept them in the center console of my car for when I get an iced coffee?

Maybe. By the sounds of it, you could be. I honestly don’t know what i drink often enough with a straw to notice to be honest. I have used a paper straw in the past and didn’t think it was terrible. I do drink fast, so maybe I didn’t wait around long enough to let the straw soak up the drink.

One of the few, for sure.

2 million day 1 advance voters. Could be good for the conservatives (younger voters, first timers or the riled up). Either way it's good that turnout may actually be respectable

Lol no one is bothering with Kitchener Center. I don't even think Mike gets invited to MP pizza parties in the cafeteria

Iced coffee through a paper straw is WRETCHED

Yes because the facts show the plastic bans have increased food costs as well as food waste while doing nothing to save the environment.

Nobody thinks this is a kill shot, why would they ?

Speaking of playbooks, The Liberals just released their platform which ends the argument that the Carney government will be any different from Trudeau. Even more insane levels of spending another 225 billion in federal debt, it is now clear how full of shit this campaign of fiscal responsibility has been. This platform contradicts so much of what Carney has been saying over the last few weeks.

Anyone who still thinks Carney will be different any than Trudeau needs to wake the fuck up. With the platform released it is undeniable that will we continue in the exact same direction, you vote for Liberal you are voting for the decline of this country.

You vote for Liberal you are voting for the decline of this country.

This entire country is a ponzi scheme using real estate value to prop up its gdp. Every party and minister is essentially a landlord relying on keeping house property values overinflated. So they'll keep using the TFWs and immigration to keep wages low and house values up for their retirement portfolio.

Every citizen that participated in this scheme (flipping houses, multiple properties to rent out, using renters to pay your mortgage and profit, keeping homes vacant to increase value) contributed to the steady destruction of the country.

If conservatives were in power 2015-now we'd be having the same conversation about how the country was robbed by corporations and their policies to keep wages low, house values up, and destroy the middle class.

10 years of cons, 10 years of libs, 10 years of cons, 10 years of libs, same wings same donors.
