What’s the reason people vote for those outcomes?
I know trump played a role, but it’s hard to believe that he reversed the outcome so drastically.
I think the conservatives in Canada don’t have strong leaders. You couldn’t have a better hand.
Lower oil prices might have contributed, but only to an extent.
Conservatives leadership in Canada is weak. PP is just not sufficiently smart and capable for this position, listening to some of his speeches.
He was talking about annexing the country! His post on election day was full on syphillitic mad-king stuff, asking Canada to vote for him!
I could go on, a long list of stuff that would have been considered implausible in a comic book satire only a few years ago.
It seems illogical that people vote for liberals in response to Trump’s remarks. That will worsen the situation. A more politically aligned government might better manage it.
I wanted change—but the choice was between someone who ignores the cost of living crisis and someone who would actively make everything worse. Poilievre couldn’t even pass a security clearance. I didn’t support all of Trudeau’s policies, but Carney isn’t Trudeau—and pretending they’re interchangeable is just lazy politics.
In some sense the conservatives were effective at changing the narrative, they just weren't rewarded for it with the opportunity to form government.
