I view voting for PP, the same as voting for Smith in 2023.
Oh sure yeah, they won't that bad. Right? Right??
It can't be repeated enough: The same playbook was used to "unite the right" into both the UCP and the CPC, and as much as anyone tries to pretend that they are a moderate option, they simply aren't. The Wildrosers and Reformers are the dominant voice, and there is definitely some overlap with Maple MAGA.
And the results are predictably similar. The hard-right of the so-called "big tent" is driving policy and they are farther from the centre than ever.

Not entirely.
They said a lot of things like "We aren't campaigning on an Alberta Pension Plan" and "We aren't campaigning on an Alberta Provincial Police Force"
Basically they said "Anything people almost universally don't like, we aren't campaigning on. We still intend to do them, we just aren't saying we will".

"That sounds basically like every plan a political candidate has. They're all the same."
Nope wrong again. One Candidate may have a plan like Project 2025 and the other Candidate may not.
I'm sorry are we in the American Politics thread? I must have missed something.
Nice to have a PM that is actually intelligent and hopefully fiscally responsible again. I'm okay with how the election plays out either way. Trudeau gone with a bunch of his flunkies, Greenpeace out of the environment portfolio, NDP likely to get decimated, Liberal shift back to the centre, works for me.
Based on the cabinet it looks to me like most of the flunkies are back at it under different roles.
Pile of #### is a pile of #### and Carney looks like he's the same pile of #### as well based on his inability to see that Canada is looking for a fresh perspective.

Until there is a general election, there can't really be any new faces. It's a very small victory, but some of the MPs were at least moved out of the portfolios where they were doing real harm.
I'd hope that if the Liberals do lead the government after the election, some of these people will be gone.
Why not? Is Carney not allowed to set his cabinet?

That's one thing you are an expert in. Piles of ####! lol

I've been thinking - if Carney intends to govern to the right of Erin O'Toole, who am I to complain?
Sure. If he actually intends to do that. I know a new election and actual mandate as PM will change a lot, as right now he's a rudderless ship with a pile of #### worth of cabinet ministers, so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt until the election is done.
Bill C-69 is still standing though, and the moron who pushed it is still in a cabinet role.

With all those same old cabinet members lined up behind Carney, shouldn't that tell us we will be getting the same old Trudeau Government by voting Liberal?

Hey now, lets wait for the spin on how this time around all these clowns will do it different.

I think Carney's answer to that question was satisfactory

This shouldn't be surprising. Carney has been amongst these people for years. He certainly has no intention of making any significant changes. Trudeau is one of the worst Prime Ministers in Canadian history (backed by all time low approval ratings) and I certainly hope Carney can do better if elected. Despite what anyone wants to say the performance of the previous/current Canadian government has done serious harm to this country. If you need backing feel free to look up any economic metric you'd like. Take those metrics and make an apple to apple comparison against a country that has the advantages we have with regards to resources etc. Of course, given our unique advantages its a comparison that cant be made.
What really bothered me about the question period after his speech was the question relating to when he would call an election. He laughed and said, "you can expect one before November." I know he is simply trying to evade the question but give the Canadian people what they want. Give them a choice. Its pathetic that he would answer that questions with a laugh and evade it. Shameful.
