The worst part of a Carney win would absolutely be the incoming endless whinging and escalation of division coming from Smith. These past few weeks where she's been forced to shut the #### up have been really nice. Unfortunately that's coming to an end.

Pierre Poilievre, in total seriousness, incorporated a plan to fight "woke obsessions" in his campaign and platform, without ever explaining and defining what that is or how it will be fought.

But the lifelong professional banker with a resume that needs to be printed on a scroll is the scary one.

But recall how annoying it was to show the vaccine record to enter restaurants, etc. The awkward 'do I put a mask on now or not in 2022'. The flight travel PCR test along with vaccine proof then putting a mask on to go through security with all masks off at the gate, back on again when on the plane, then all off once food/drink comes. So many redundancies.

I'm not trying to convince anyone here to like PP and vote Conservative. I do realize this forum is left leaning and was even back during the 2015 election. There's nothing wrong with that, I gave my opinion on this and that's that.

But I just still find it odd why everyone loves/trusts Carney. Best of luck to him.

Do you recall PP insulating himself in the movement, guffawing with and handing out Timmies to all the dummies honking their horns and s###ing in the streets?

I, too, am voting CPC due to slight inconveniences and annoyances from COVID.

And now they're talking about this "measles" supposed "outbreak"?

This is why we need to stop funding the CBC and their constant fear mongering.

People deserve the TRUTH.

Ok, so you're cool with the Freedom Convoy.

Quote:
Pollster Frank Graves, whose polls for Ekos Research Associates were the first to detect the swing to the Liberals, has found that a big portion of the Conservative base is more likely to support the “freedom movement” and to believe the disinformation about vaccines that energized it, which is suddenly a big political problem.

“Having a group of emotionally engaged people is fine, but you still need to have enough of them to win an election,” says Graves. “And what [Poilievre] had in place was a group of 25% of voters, roughly who look just like Trump supporters.”

Weird, me and all my Lib friends ####ing loved having a global pandemic of a novel disease… we still bring it up all the time and reminisce, can’t get over all those good times that it still drives our daily narrative.

Right? And it's ridiculous how, when farm animals are carrying serious and highly infectious diseases, we make farmers cull livestock or risk wiping out entire populations of animals. Like, they're good, hard working people that should be able to decide what's best for their personal situation. It shouldn't matter that entire food sources could be wiped out.

Same with all of those 'fake news' and 'pseudo-science' pushing Libs telling us we need to vaccinate against measles. Then, when my unvaccinated child starts spreading this %100 preventable disease, they tell me I should stay home and not risk spreading it to others. Take away my freedoms?! Not a chance!

Put our 'scienticians' to work curing real diseases like autism.

These things were provincially mandated. Almost all of the rules you disliked were decided by the province you lived in.

Good lord, that's not an interview that's an advertisement. They are literally complaining that the liberals are fear mongering while Pierre is out everyday talking about how Canadians are afraid to go outside due to crime, which is actually down.

Just an FYI, only 3 - 4 years ago, the overwhelming majority of sitting conservative MPs voted in favour of making gender based abortion illegal. Since there's no way to control for what reason a person would tell you they are getting an abortion, it was really just a way to make abortion access more difficult.

They mention in the "interview" that liberals are fear mongering about the abortion issue. They aren't. I literally watched 45 seconds of that "interview" and he's already lying.

Embarrassing.

You do know you weren't forced to do anything right?
You could have chosen not to take the vaccine, and that decision, like any decisions, had consequences such as not being able to travel.
But no one tied you down and injected you.

Jordan Peterson takes the the award for most annoying whiney voice over PP. Just seen clips of him on Rogan, he said Trump fears Carney. Only I can't believe that freak has cultists following him around.

I voted Conservative. I worry about the Liberals really not changing anything that we've seen in the last 10 years and that we'll just see more debt, more bureaucracy, more taxes, and more cost of living to us and the future generations.

All that being said, I feel very fortunate that really, the difference between the two parties is not that big. We live in a country where we have a slightly left party and a slightly right party. Media and people's strong opinions (including my own and others on this site) tend to make it seem like the chasm between the parties is gigantic. And there are key differences.

But when I voted, there were no guns and nobody forcing me to vote one way or the other. It's not like the difference between the parties is the difference between my freedom or not.

We live in a pretty amazing place in the world, and I feel fortunate to live here. It might be a stretch that I say I'm grateful that I can disagree with fellow Flames fans about politics on an online forum, but I'll choose to say it because I'd rather feel good than angry.

I’ve found it’s almost impossible to navigate the definition of “freedom” used by a large segment of the right, but the closest I’ve gotten to is “freedom to do whatever I want and not have to deal with what I don’t at whatever cost.”

Sending someone in possession of a personal use amount of fentanyl to jail for life? Fine.

Endangering children by making it near impossible for them to have LGBTQ supports and safe spaces at school? Fine.

Requiring people show vaccine records at the height of a pandemic to enter a restaurant? Erm, isn’t this a FREE country?

Freedom if you’re the type of person I like, doing the things I like to do, and less freedom if you’re the type of person I don’t like or doing things I don’t like, I guess.
