Get rid of Trudeau and Poilievre. Honestly, maybe Singh too. Just give us all new party leaders
I’d take Singh in a heartbeat over the other two.
But we need a Kamala up here too.
Even if the Liberals somehow manage to find a credible, electable leader that doesn't end up being a Michael Ignatieff 2.0, I see no reason to trust that they won't deliver more of the same bullshit.
When it comes to leadership in American politics, it's said that democrats fall in love, and republicans fall in line.
I don't want to fall in love. The past decade of Canadian politics has been a parade of 'charisma' and it hasn't gotten us anywhere. I want a sincere and straightforward leader, who won't get embroiled in scandals, has a strong stance on foreign policy, a plan for foreign interference, the housing & affordability crisis, and an ability to deal with issues in a straightforward and policy-focused way. I guess what I'm trying to say is I want a prime minister with a short skirt and a long jacket.
I consider it a national tragedy that Jack Layton didn’t survive long enough to be elected as a PM. He would’ve rocked it.
I've been feeling the same way for years now. I think the course of Canadian politics massively changed for the worse from his passing. Though I never thought of it as a real inflection point until years later.
