How long have the Liberals been in power? And did they do anything about the current cost of living crisis? They've had every opportunity to fix this situation but they haven't. There's a reason why a Conservative win was predicted before trump went off his meds.
DO I think Conservatives would do better in power? Hell no, but they were at least saying "hey, we'll fix this so you can live on your current wages again."
The fact that they were American Republican Lite didn't matter.
I mean they did a fuck of a lot more than Harper!! Do you REMEMBER what life was like under Harper?? PP isn't a clone of Trump. He's a protégé of HARPER, a controlling, paranoid little facsimile. All this shit with oppressive narcissistic control of the press is exactly how Harper behaved.
So because they're willing to say anything to get elected they're a better option? What have the conservatives actually done in the last 30 years to help working class Canadians? Are we supposed to suddenly trust them now that they realize they have to have actual policies instead of just 'hate this one guy'? Are we meant to ignore decades of Polivere's voting record?
The younger folks were, according to this post.
Yes, but the question is why. Is it based on logic based reasons or due to the misinformation campaign? Because they think the current Conservatives will actually do anything to make substantial changes to address these issues or because idiots like Rogan and Mcleary tell them to hate the other side? Is it because they're not getting enough or just because someone else is getting something?
It's not like anybody is going to start building thousands of $500000+ houses and selling them at cost to the middle class. The only thing the feds would do to address housing would be to build low cost housing again. I can imagine how that would go over with the crowd we're talking about
What
Man you are going off
Yes, people are shit ass at understanding economics. Neither liberalism nor conservatives are great at balancing budget. But conservatives sute as shit are a whole lot worse at it.
Yes, The Conservatives in polling were looking at a possible majority acording to then current polls. But once trump showed his ass and the Liberals didn't back down, the Liberals polling numbers went way up. It probably also helped that Justin ~~was forced~~ decided to stand down as the Party leader.
