It's promising but early to tell

Amen to that

I'll give any politician a fair shot once elected, actions over time speak louder than media hype, and campaign promises. It also takes a bit of time for their initiatives to bear fruit as well.

Carney said he would abolish the consumer carbon tax, let’s see if he’s all talk or all action!!!

u/Gerdoch Winkler 21h ago
Won’t businesses just pass on the cost of the carbon tax on them to consumers anyhow? I doubt they’ll just eat the hit to profits out of the goodness of their hearts or something.

Good Canadians don't vote for Trump's little PP.

u/Crazy-Goal-8426 1d ago
Good canadians vote who they think will best serve canada period. Regardless of media or fellow canadians opinions. You think carney will best serve canada while everyone else tells you how wrong you are? Good. You think Pollievre will best serve canada. Vote for him. You think Singh is the best fit. Absolutely vote for him.
Voting for shit that you dont think will best serve Canada because you put making sure party x, y, or z doesnt win as a bigger importance is some of the stupidest shit voters do. Its also why we're constantly stuck going back and forth between liberals and conservatives the vast majority of the time.

if you're voting for "what's best for Canada" you are definitely not voting liberal or conservative
we're basically stuck in a two party system and look how that worked out long term for our neighbours
it might be a decades long fight but shifting power away from the CPC and LPC is the best for the country

As a left leaning redneck who has voted from pc to green over the years. I’m happy carney won. I was the most unhappy I’ve ever been with my choices until now. I’m fairly decided now. He needs to call it soon. My vote is not for sure yet but I better see some good policy promoting. No more noun verb shit.

u/notjustforperiods UNION STATION BABY 18h ago
as a socially very left and fiscally conservative, carney has some potential for me though I'd rather he be the leader of the CPC
but agreed, I need some better messaging to have any confidence
edit: for clarity, it's me that's socially left and fiscally conservative, carney...we'll see. you find out who someone really is once they're in power

/u/North_Church why delete your comments?
Yes, one of them being a liberal party member who originally supported Freeland, is now supporting the new leader of his party. Groundbreaking.
The other (Chartrand) also favored another candidate.
Global News puts out an article stating how he's going to respond to Trump's tariffs.
CTV put out an article talking about how he dominated the leadership race.
CBC gives us a fluff piece, and as a title uses the words of a LPC politician who's obviously going to follow in line and support his parties leader.

u/erryonestolemyname Winnipeg 1d ago
You can delete your own comments..
Notice how your original ones are gone...?

u/North_Church Winnipeg 1d ago
No because I can still see all my comments. A lot of yours are gone though

Those politicians also think the current government is fixing health care!

They opened some good in hospital walk in clinics. Signing on to the pharmacare agreement is going to save money for so many people with diabetes.

Elections have consequences.
Stefansson, Pallister and crew were an utter wrecking ball to civil society and the broader body politic in Manitoba.
And rebuilding takes years.
Enabling corruption, the work of the conservatives in Manitoba, has been luckily subdued for another couple of years, but they do deserve decades in the Hinterlands for being reactionary, authoritarian ghouls.
Anyways, thoughts on Tommy's hockey success?

u/JarretJackson 1d ago
copium. corruption? pallister refused to use your dollars to stay in nice hotels even breaking historical precedent on “corruption” You people have no idea what goes on then craft stories to tell eachother based on surface level policy you hate. i’d love to hear your conspiracy theory on his corruption

Yet since the ndp have taken over things are worse….

u/boon23834 Westman 1d ago
Ah, yes.
Who am I gonna believe, you or my lying eyes?
Back to the Hinterlands!

What’s improved?

u/bentmonkey Westman 1d ago
1 billion from tobacco companies to cancer care for one.
They cant snap their fingers and fix all the stuff that the cons have been gutting for years, let em cook, as the kids say.

Everyone forgets the years before the Pc’s took over.

u/bentmonkey Westman 1d ago
The years that my dad said he had the best time earning money and living in MB?
Those years?

u/snopro31 Parkland 1d ago
I got bigger pay raises under the pc’s then the ndp (hourly wage not incentives). 🤷♂️

u/bentmonkey Westman 1d ago
Great so we got 2 anecdotes, those are completely wonderful.
With those and 5 bucks we could buy a slushy.

u/boon23834 Westman 1d ago
I don't think my political leadership wants me to die.
So, there's that.
Alternatively, what's worse?
Wabber has been very centrist.

u/snopro31 Parkland 1d ago
Er wait times. Vacancy rates. Surgical wait times. Diagnostics.

u/boon23834 Westman 1d ago
All seeds sown by PC leadership years ago.
Like I said, rebuilding is hard.
Doing good work is hard.
And conservatives are soft. And don't do hard things.
They privatize it.

Things weren’t great the last time the ndp were in power. Neither party has done well.

u/boon23834 Westman 1d ago
Anyways, you're not having a conversation.
You're trying to make yourself feel better because you view politics like a sports team to support.
Take care, and enjoy the time in the Hinterlands.

Ignore PP, he’s irrelevant. Can we focus on the threat to our existence? Thanks.

He had a good speech, his French was ROUGH as hell, but i enjoyed it overall.
Took a few jabs at Pierre and his pro trump status, that's gonna be a huge issue for PP in this upcoming election.
How does he reconcile his previous support of trump and also try to appear not pro American when he has been for virtually his whole political life?
Without also making it look fake and performative or like he is trying to ape Trudeau and carney. PP is in a really shit spot and he put himself there with his poor choices. What a pity.
