And this is what’s wrong with liberals. You have no position other than being the opposite to conservatives.
you still haven’t said anything about policy and what you want from Carney going forward. You’re whole purpose is to be anti-conservative.
The AI comparison below says it all—and frankly, it’s all you really need to understand why I’m backing Carney over a walking piss stain.
As I’ve mentioned in another post:
if the Conservatives had chosen Jean Charest, my vote might’ve been up for grabs. It would’ve depended on his platform, of course—but here’s the key difference:
Charest commands respect. I wouldn’t be out here bad-mouthing or name-calling him, because he’s a serious adult with a track record of actual governance.
But instead? The Conservatives rolled out a
Convoy-cheerleading, arrogant, Trump-lite twat and expect the rest of us to applaud. No thanks. That’s not leadership—it’s cosplay for angry Facebook uncles.

Carney is the heavyweight.

stoke frustration, meme on social media, and rally a political base—
Poilievre’s your guy.
