I would consider Pierre if he actually shut the hell up about Trudeau, and actually talked about how he's going to help Canada. Looking at his YouTube it's nothing but attacks..this thing cannot be trusted imo...he has nothing he wants to do for Canada, but remove the current leader and that in itself should scare people more then the current lazy as balls government.

I wouldn't vote for Pierre if he said he'd implement voting reform which is the only thing I'm looking for in the next election.

I really don't understand how people can look at Canadian politics in the last half a century and want to bounce between these parties that has taken turns seeing how bad they can be before people vote them out.

Because for some unbelievably stupid reason Bob Rae's single term as Ontario's premier, from 1990 to 1995, burnt Canada on ever having a federal NDP gov't.

I mean the venom with which people discuss his one and only term would make you think that Rae was the absolutely worst thing to ever have happened and we could never, ever EVER take a chance on the NDP again.

In an alternate universe, one can imagine there's a Tory leader who's spoken of the same way and has made them unpalatable.

Harper's mine but that's when I actually could vote so I'm biased. Maybe Diefenbaker? Know some people who romanticise the avro arrow who dislike him for canning it and blame it for brain drain.

In an alternate universe Jack Layton would have been with us long enough to form an NDP government.

The conservatives only have bitching as their strategy; because their plan is horrific for people and really great for their friends' corporations. If that seems familar, that's America Light.

If you like healthcare and unemployment and daycare assistance and food inspectors and people investigating corruption, you're not their target demographic. Don't be lulled into thinking you can pay less taxes AND STILL have safe roads and bridges and food and streets.

I'm for sure not, I'm actually super annoyed that we are even doing no tax right on select whatever right now ..I'd rather just see the tax cost bundled into the cost of goods instead.

Like Musk, a lot of those videos are straight up stolen too. He stole and verbatim reposted a video I uploaded on YouTube once. Was a big reason I deleted that channel, that any apparent sense of irony could just be stripped so easily. (No he did not give credit, not that it was OC, it was a clip from TV I captured myself).

The thing that bothers me the most about him is that the election is seemingly in the bag yet he still has to lean into the USA Republican culture wars. Buddy, going after Trans people and the like isn't going to win you any votes you don't already have, what is the PURPOSE for bringing up this nonsense. Just annoys and disgusts me to the core.
