I could, but this place is a little too hostile for my taste with dissenting opinions on our embarrassment of a PM. The only PM we've had, I've ever been embarrassed about, and I've seen a few both Liberal and Conservative with whom I've never taken issue with.
Overall we were doing pretty good until now. Rip.
Says the one throwing around ad hominems.
“I have so many reasons it would take me days to go through my file of very good reasons and I have better things to do like comment on Lemmy about Trudeau and all the reasons I have to not like him.”
I don’t like Trudeau for the same reasons I did before he was elected. He’s a Liberal, and he’s more right wing than I want in a leader. Supporting the oil industry at the expense of our national standing and the environment, and reneging on his promise to end FPTP are also good reasons.
But I am immediately suspicious of anyone who HATES him or is SO EMBARRASSED by him because they have clearly fallen for a right-wing disinformation campaign against him. They hate him because they’re told about how awful he is because carbon tax and gays and economy.
Exactly. I had high hopes for him when he was first elected, but when he walked back ending FPTP I knew the slide would continue. At this point it feels like America and Canada are in the same boat ... vote for an incumbent we don't really want or risk having a MAGAt (wannabe in our case) at the helm.
I hate it here.
It’s different having a viable 3rd/4th/5th party, so it’s nice to at least have another way to vote that doesn’t immediately just end up in the trash.
After reneging on his FPTP promise, I’m never voting Liberal again. It’s NDP all the way from now on unless something major changes. My hope is for a conservative minority and the possibility of a coalition or strong opposition, but I’m not holding my breath.
