C'mon guys this is such an easy win for us as a country. Justin went a little too far with his style of governing for a lot of you and now the liberals have voted this guy to be it's leader and new PM. This is who we want to lead us into the second half of the 20th century, this guy is so fucking smart. Pierre just sings slogans and simple pretty things that sound nice but in reality he's just going to sell us off to American interests and cut the things that help working people.

The consumer carbon tax was the most minor of minor problems in the consumer economy but Poliviere paints it as the end of civilization as we know it. Now he's shifted to industrial carbon tax (which mainstream economists all agree don't hurt the consumer much if at all) and other taxes that he wants to "axe" again for being the end of civilization as we know it. None of which by the way he advocated against until recently. He's so painfully obviously in the pocked of big oil.

And people love to gloss over the fact that the industrial tax NEEDS to be there in order for us to diversify and increase trade with the EU, a modern advanced society. Meanwhile PP just loves to claim that we will get rid of it and... Do nothing? That's because the Conservative party have flat out voted that climate change is not real. Completely anti science bullshit. If anyone is from the days of the PCs, they would vote for Carney
