Did everyone notice how this election wiped out all the previous leaders and now we're faced with being introduced to a new crowd of political leaders.

Elizabeth May with the Green Party is the only one still standing.

I felt like all of the leaders were haggard and ineffective, so I’m glad.

I hope we can bring in more leaders with an updated idea of how things work and a better focus on communication and policies.

I also want fewer politicians if that makes sense, I want a government that criticizes the liberals and goes “here’s how we could do that better” instead of dumb rhetoric.

I'm just a cynical Brit (with Canadian blood) but my initial reaction was: "Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss".

I’ll admit even though I am rooting for Carney, the Liberal budget is not what I wanted it to be.

I share your concern, but an optimistic.

How Carney does the next couple years will determine the next decade of Canadas political landscape.

At a time when there's instability growing it's not the time for the government to cut spendings, it needs to be there to support the population. Hopefully the NDP forces them to increase taxes on the most wealthy and on corporations. Hell, start taxing US businesses based on the revenues they generate in Canada or prevent them from offering their products here, including online platforms.

One of the new bosses would have been exponentially worse for you.
