I will be plugging my nose when I vote in the next fed election.
I think to many people drink the social media Kool-Aid and believe everything they hear and are not educated on the facts and how things work.
I was talking to a couple of younger people (mid 30's) last week who were whining about interest rates, lack of jobs (news flash there are no lack of jobs), housing, drug addicts, price of food. When we asked them questions what they didn't like and why, we got the who farted look. They didn't know. They just repeated what they hear. What does the federal govt have to do with large food stores gouging us. Didn't they bring them to task on that about 3 months ago.
My point is we are very fortunate to live in Canada no matter if the Libs, Cons or NDP are in power. Do people really think a new gov't is going to be any different? They won't. There are way worse countries to live in by far. If people don't like it here go somewhere else and see how much you like it. Much of our economy, interest rates, carbo tax, inflation.... are a world wide problem. Things go in cycles and will get better. Covid threw a big curve ball into so much and the world is still feeling the effects.
Imo JT's time is up. Would be nice to see the Libs get a new person in.
I can't bring myself to vote for PP. He comes across slimey and changed his look, how he dressed and approach to try and fix his persona. Seems to be working for now. He's to extreme right and seems power hungry. If he doesn't like a question your not getting an answer and he walks away. That's not a leader. If he cuts the carbon tax we will be paying for that somewhere else. The money has to come from somewhere. This weekend in Quebec his party was not agreeing with him on certain policies. Not a good look.

He makes simple comments with no depth. Typical career politician.
Didn't he reject a proposal from his own party when he was housing minister about building approx 800,000 homes and now he's whining about housing.
Jt's time is up, can't trust PP and Jag would have us broke in a year and don't forget we are a rich country.
At the end of the day I don't like our options but sometimes you go with the devil you know than the one you don't but again no matter who's going to be in power, after the first year or 2 love fest politicians are all the same.
