I listened to the French one yesterday. Poilièvre is all about looks but has no substance. Carney definitely represented the same old political shit. Jagmeet's heart is in the right place and has the right ideas but fails at communicating them. And Blanchet, brought forward some really interesting points about the provinces' jurisdictions and competencies and how the federal government tries a little to hard to control provinces and how dangerous that could be for Québec and its values and culture.
Yeah, that tracks for Canadian politics as a whole.
Conservatives and Liberals haven't really changed their tune and are both running essentially the same platforms they were in the mid-2000s. The NDP is headed by someone who got into politics to really try and change things for the better, and get outplayed every time by the establishment. And the Bloc really only cares about the culture of Quebec, which makes them a non-candidate for anyone far away from Quebec
I mean they literally don't run outside of Quebec so that's probably a non-issue.
I actually agree about the provinces jurisdiction a lot. There's no reason we have all of our non-Quebec provinces playing the game of blaming the federal government for all of their problems, and frankly it's disgusting.
There's stuff like negotating drug prices as a nation that makes sense, but does daycare? That actually seems like it has reverse bargaining power. I want those things, but I agree with Blanchet.
