There is way more of the cons are scary boogey men because feelings are going to be hurt VS maybe there is a better option out there than re-treading the same sacks of shit we’ve had a decade of because it’s a more comfortable option.
Champagne, Freeland, etc. those people are -done- they fucked us. If you continue to support people like this frankly, you’re a fool.

The fact that emigration, under inept liberal leadership has reached an all time high in 2023, speaks volumes about Canada. Essentially 1 in 5 immigrants that have come to Canada in the last 20 years have left.
Poilievre is more in touch with what is going on with Canada and has pragmatic solutions. | At a very high level, I can see the logic of wanting to vote for someone who claims he will bring change to Canada and not keep the status quo. And in some regard, PeePee appears to offer that. I can also see Honda's legitimate skepticism on how a Carney gov would largely continue to have key Turdeau appointees to server in key positions (ministers). I can even see and acknowledge that Carney has continued to fail in providing a good, strong answer to his Brookfield tax heaven questions -- I have no doubts that what he did in Brookfield is entirely legal. I even think that as the vice chair of Brookfield, his decision to put the investment funds in Bermuda is entirely sensible. At the same time, I also agree that the Bermuda thing does not make Carney look good, and it raises the question of whose interest Carney will serve should he become PM.
And this last point is very concerning. When you couple it together with how there'll be a large carryover of Turdeau loyalists as ministers, it is not at all difficult to be concerned that the status quo and rot will continue to happen.
That said, I would also say PeePee is far from being an ideal, or even just promising candidate. I find a lot of his policies to be populist -- they seem to address the superficial concerns, but become questionable as soon as you delve deeper into their actual effectiveness. Take his latest 3-strike rule. It is definitely a populist policy that would work well at first glance. But policies have a lot of nauances in them, and he is intentionally dumbing it down to appeal to his populist supporters.
His open embracement of all 6 demands from Big Oil Alberta is also deeply troubling to me. Yes, the World has already past the point of no return on climate change, but adding even more fuel to the fire when we should be changing course as much as we can is just dumb.
What I am trying to say is -- as time goes on, and the veneer of a fresh promsing candidate wears off, I acknowledge that Carney will not be the idealistic leader that we hope for. Anyone who thinks Carney will dramatically turn the Canadian ship around is deluding himself. That said, between Carney and PeePee's fault, I still think Carney is the more capable and viable candidate, esp in the face of dealing with a chaotic Trump. The economic outlook for the next 4 years are not going to look good regardless of who becomes PM, and both Carney and PeePee are gonna blame Trump for it. But in the end, I believe a Carney-led Liberals will take us to a better place than a PeePee-led Conservatives.
In a Carney-led gov, we'll need to keep an eye out for gravy train favours to rich corps and such. And we'll need to keep an eye out for Chinese influence -- there has been some new allegations of how Communist China is flexing its influence to prop up Carney thru their typical channels, and how another Liberal candidate has close ties with PLA.

These are all items that have been outlined in the media, that are visible and tangible and where I don’t need to read through a 80 page report to dissect. This is the tangible change they will make which I consider potentially positive because it’s actually tackling issues which have been highlighted as major problems in our country.
When I ask the same question to you, you say read the platform.
The fact you can’t actually articulate a single item other than what the liberals have regurgitated from the cons platform speaks volumes to initial question in that most of you don’t know what the same old idiots will actually do to enact change other than a promised plan which they’ve twice failed on.
Ok | This reads like pot calling the kettle black. I really don't see how what you've listed is any different than what you're asking Westopher to list. Like what are these virtue signalling climate change policies? And what are the (obvious) drawbacks to their approach to crime, bail, and resource legislation (all of which people have pointed out are unrealistic and don't actually address the problem).
You're being a hypocrite here.

I think I have already mentioned before in the thread that the real issue that needs to be fixed first is properly funding the judicial branch and our correctional facilities. Once the ball is rolling on that front, then there needs to be proper bail reform instead of just some 3-strikes-and-you're-out sentencing.
I forgot to mention in my last post that there is some skepticism on whether there are actually any new or untapped demand for Canadian LNG and petroleum products. PeePee has claimed more than a few times that as part of his climate change policy, he wants to sell Canadian LNG to India and other places in the world to replace dirty coal. But there are also signs that these international energy demands actually want to skip LNG altogether and jump directly from coal to greener alternatives like solar and wind because at this point in time, solar is actually the cheapest method of energy generation.

Brutal takedown by Doug Ford’s campaign manager on how PP and the Cons have blown a 25 point lead. Dude is pissed. No surprise that Ford and team are sitting this out.

His video with Carney has over 85k views in 13 hours
PP's video at a private members race track for the one percent has 35K views is 48 hours.
pp is so out of touch with Canadians.
Carney also spend zero dollars on the video. I wonder how much pp spent.

Right now only bout 30% of the views have to be Canadian to beat PP's video and that number is only going to get lower.

LOL, I just finished watching the Carney/Nardwuar video and caught the bit about the hip flip game where Chretien, Martin, and Justin all did it but Harper said no and his security hauled Nardwuar away. Fits the profile and stereotype of Cons.

It’s amazing that in the vast majority of the states, if you were drinking and driving and killed someone, with zero previous record and regardless of circumstances you’d get 10-20 years, no question. Obviously a totally heinous, preventable crime but otherwise “decent” people made one mistake and they are in prison for a decade.
In Canada, you can have 50 serious charges, a career criminal, be charged with second degree murder of vulnerable, innocent, people, and you could bet your life you will spend less than 5 years incarcerated. You destroyed a family, you committed the worst crime imaginable, and you are locked away for less than 10% of your life.
It’s absolutely insane. Let alone all the examples previously of pre-mediated murder or domestic violence murders where people are released serving less than half their term
And surprise surprise! Not one of them is rehabilitated and virtually all of them commit further crimes shortly after being released.

Or you could get 3 months in jail in the US for 3 counts of sexual assault. Or you can kill a young black kid with a bag of m&ms and serve no time because you were scared. Don't act like US is some fucking beacon of justice.

The people killing someone while DUI made that same "mistake" far more than once, they just had it catch up with them once.
Wanting to throw more people in jail is all well and good if you think that's the correct approach, but it's not going to work when everything is already at capacity. Where's the plan to allocate more funding for more jails, guards, judges, and the rest of the justice system to actually support that?
