We were complicit in letting people bully trudeau out of office. But honestly how could any Canadian with half a brain not see that the liberals led by Mark Carney is the best choice for us in this Turbulent time. I could never see the Conservatives showcasing their values like this, it just screams Canada
Nah, Trudeau had to go. He had made many mistakes over the years, often stupid ones. He reneged on electoral reform. He didn’t do anything substantive to alleviate the housing crisis. In fact how government did a few things to make it worse. He let Ford squander the $10 child care program in Ontario. And so on.
I voted Liberal in all the elections he ran in since that was the ABC choice in my riding, I appreciate the positive contributions he made, such as the pandemic response. However there are serious issues that were ignored and they became unignorable. People are lining up behind Carney because they see someone who says things that sound like he can begin solving these problems. Unlike Trudeau or Poilievre. I don’t think Trudeau was malicious or profiting of any of the mistakes, but mistakes were made.
Don’t forget the CCB.
I don’t, I didn’t try listing all the good and bad achievements. I intended to say he did plenty of things to deserve people’s ire, not that he didn’t do anything good.
How would you suggest that he solve the housing crisis after years of inaction by the premiers (who are responsible for housing) and then letting In so many foreign students so they could reduce education spending?
The liberals injected 4 billion dollars into the housing accelerator fund to help after years of inaction by the premiers.
COVID cost a lot and it def exasperated the housing crisis and I think right now Carney is the best thing to replace him with to restructure our economy inside out. Keep everything we gained with JT and pivot to get our economy balanced to then pivot back forward. In the grand scheme of things JT was kneecapped by very hostile premiers.
They could have used a lot more stick to premiers backs. They started working with municipalities very recently. Housing was a problem even in 2015. They could have gotten back into building housing as far back as 2016.
The federal government let the students in, not provinces. Provinces just took advantage. Trudeau’s government could have increased university and college funding instead, along with publicly tarring and feathering bastards like Ford who cut the funding. Something which Carney has said he’ll do. The funding, not the tar-feathering.
Well when you want to be a province ans be a big boy and handle your own shit with no federal interference, that’s what they did. The premiers said “we need x amount of students/immigrants this year” and the feds would say ok. Then when they recently throttled the immigration the premiers cried out “BuT ThIs HuRtS OuR LabOur ForCe”.
Like everything else they just let the problem fester until it got so bad they needed big daddy feds to handle the problem.
Ford and Trudeau are way closer than either of them likes to be widely understood.
